Galia Lahav Church gown?

View Quoted Comment Imani thank you girl!!!

View Quoted Comment Michelle thank you SO much!!! I ended up getting a detachable skirt, now I’m looking for sleeves too! Thank you!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you Megan! I ended up getting a detachable skirt a few days ago! 🥰

View Quoted Comment Thank you! Yes initially I got the dress when we were planning on having a ceremony at an Airbnb but plans had to change. I got a detachable skirt to cover the sides. Looking into sleeves that will cover up shoulders as well for a modest look.

View Quoted Comment Hahaha thank you Kenzie!!! But just to have a bit more respect for the church culture itself, I was thinking a more modest look during ceremony part and then removing all of those and stay with the original look of the dress during reception! Thanks for the awesome vibe ✨ ✨

View Quoted Comment Wow thank you Erin!!! This first thought came to my mind mainly because the dress itself is too sheer hahaha I definitely don’t want to give our priest a heart attack hahaha. I ended up getting a detachable overskirt to go with the dress. And I also have a cathedral veil. I hope that is enough but will bring sleeves in hand juuuuust in case! Thank you girl!

View Quoted Comment Hahahaha thank you so much Monique!! I am adding an overskirt and will also buy additional sleeves I found on Etsy, just in case! But yes it’s mostly to show respect for the church and their culture. Thanks girl!

View Quoted Comment Right on! Thanks Michelle. I am adding an overskirt to the dress, along with sleeves. Thank you!!

If your shoulders are also a concern, and that may depend on the church, a simple white satin shawl might be nice. You can use it at the reception if the air conditioning is too much, or if you're outdoors for a long time and it's chilly. I attended a wedding at my Catholic Church not long ago. The bride was extremely curvy. Most of her gown was actually on the floor - very tight, long train, strapless with her ample bosom fairly pouring out of it. I know the priest fairly well, he's been at our church 10 years, and to his credit, his expressions never changed. The organist and I are best friends and she and I were trying hard not to look shocked or amused. The bridegroom was a Marine in his "dress blues" with lots of his buddies there, and quite honestly, I was embarassed for him (my son's a Marine, about the same age). So just be mindful what other folks might think - you can't change how they see you, especially the celebrant, and your bridegroom.

Yes I would do that people may not be as accepting of it but it’s beautiful you can wear a nude slip

View Quoted Comment Yes absolutely, my first thought was the same! I would hate to give some type of weird “shame” or embarrassment feeling to my family or the priest.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for sharing!! I definitely keep that in mind. I want to be considerate of not only the culture but also the priest!

View Quoted Comment Well I think it would be perfect with a nude slip so go for it 💋

View Quoted Comment Hi Emma! Not sure if you’ll see this, but I’m in the same predicament as you. Are you selling your sleeves / overskirt by any chance or can you help me source them? Thank you!
