Help! Can't find any dresses!

Lauren, on March 11, 2020 at 7:59 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Hi all,


I'm recently engaged and we're having a super short engagement! We're getting married in June. The problem is I'm extremely non-traditional. I'm not a fan of big dresses, I don't like lace, beading, etc. I just want a clean modern dress (leather would be preferred though!) The second issue is that I'm short and rather muscley-curvy so the longer dresses that I tried on at DB didn't necessarily work, although I was being put in everything I asked not to be put in. Finally, we want to ride out on the Harley after the ceremony so I need something that I can scoot up my legs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Where are you getting married? A full leather dress in June where I live would be suffocating. 😂 I’d start looking at department stores, like Nordstrom. And maybe consider a leather accessory (jacket, hat, belt) in lieu of a full leather outfit. You could always change into an exit outfit for your Harley ride if you find a dress that wouldn’t work well on a Harley. For safety you usually want you legs covered when on a bike just in case.

    I think you should definitely try a jumpsuit. Here’s a million options.

    I was thinking a jumpsuit would be cute too! Have you checked out BHLDN? Personally, I went on websites like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and searched for white dresses that way rather than at an actual bridal store. You can find some really fun things this way if you are less traditional and not looking for your typical Cinderella "bridal gown".

    I'd consider a jump suit (skinny leg) or a high / low dress. One that accentuates your legs and makes them appear longer. With the short timeline, I'd look on Amazon "prime" to see if you can try a few on and return if needed in the quick turn time. I wouldn't chance ordering from anywhere that could be delayed due to coronavirus.

    I would also check a different David's Bridal if you want to go back to them. I went to a few different ones, and in one they had me in every style under the sun but what I asked for lol. I was so frustrated. But there was another that pulled what I had in my head on the first pull. So you may just have to keep trying them if you want something a little bridal.
