HELP PLEASE! Bolero Jacket - does the material have to match the dress?

Lisa, on November 5, 2013 at 4:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

I bought a chiffon bolero for my chiffon dress but I don't love it. I really don't feel it hides my big arms enough. I'd rather wear a satin bolero - a material that's opaque. Attaching my dress here.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

    Have you tried any others on with the dress?

    I've tried both but don't have a pic with the chiffon jacket. Problem with chiffon is it's also so flimsy and I find I'm always adjusting the jacket because it's not structured and doesn't fall right. Here's pick I have with me in the dress (I'm a lot bigger than the model and a satin jacket though this isn't necessarily the one I'd pick.

    I don't think it has to match. Some boleros can look surprisingly good if they contrast just a tiny bit in material or color.

    And a front view... ignore my holding up my chest... the dress has gotten bigger since I bought it.

    I think it looks good. Can you find one that is more structured that doesn't shift?

    The chiffon more structured or the satin jacket above. The jacket in my pic is pretty structured but not be exactly the right size it was a floor sample. So you think it doesn't look mis-matched as long as i have it in the correct size?

    I think it looks great! You look amazing in it! I'm sure just as good without the jacket. Making me wish I had gone with a strapless dress!

    One in the correct size should be perfect.
