Dress Update! (long post)

So Friday afternoon I picked up my dress and tried it on again. I've been having a bit of dress regret, but it's starting to get better. I added a petticoat under my dress and I'm starting to see the ballgown that I originally wanted, let me know what you guys think Smiley smile

Since I've had my dress at home, I've started to study it to make myself love it lol. This picture of the detailing on the torso started to make me feel better along with the added poof to the bottom Smiley smile

Finally, the fitting room attendant asked if I planned to wear a veil and I do so I let her put one on me. I liked it at the time, but I'm not exactly loving it anymore. Because the detailing on my dress stops right below my hips I've been considering a chapel/cathedral length veil with similar lace at the bottom rather than the one in this photo. What type of veil would you guys recommend with this dress?

Sorry for such a long post, but please let me know what your thoughts are on everything! I love getting other opinions and I hate bothering everyone outside of WW with wedding details Smiley smile

    Thank you! Adding the petticoat has helped me feel a lot happier with my dress, I was starting to panic lol. I'll definitely be looking into a different veil, either chapel or cathedral length! Thanks so much and good luck to you too in your planning Smiley smile

    Your dress is gorgeous and I love the petticoat. As far as a veil I’m not a huge fan of anything other than a cathedral length.

    I agree, cathedral length veil! Do you still have alterations to go through? I felt way better after alterations were done in my dress!

    Love the addition of the petticoat! If you aren't completely in love with the finger tip length veil I would try on a cathedral length one - both would be beautiful with your dress! Personally I'm a big cathedral length veil lover lol.

    Thank you! I had always assumed I'd have fingertip length, but after seeing it I'm quickly changing my mind for something longer lol

    Yes, I'll have alterations done in March I believe. I think all I'll have done is taking in the waist and maybe having cups sewn, haven't totally decided on that. I think once I see it altered to my figure, I'll love it a lot more.

    Thank you! I'm definitely moving away from a fingertip length veil. For some reason I always had this idea growing up that cathedral length was waaaayyy too dramatic for the average bride unless you were royalty Smiley xd Now I'm definitely looking into either chapel or cathedral length Smiley love

    Your dress is gorgeous! The petticoat gives it that extra oomph factor. A plain cathedral veil would be so pretty with your dress

    Pics of me in the dress.. I didn’t button the back all the way and wrong bra lol. I ended up getting a veil just a little longer then the dress but obviously I love how light it is.. will be fun and easy to dance in.. I bought a belt similar to the ones in the pics but not positive if I’m wearing it yet.. I don’t need any alterations bc I’m 5’7 and wedding dresses are usually made for 5’7 brides so I don’t even need to hem it!! I don’t like having to store it for a year + but this is our dress ❤️❤️ 😂
