Honest opinions please! Is this dress too booby or shiny?!

After trying on 10-15 different dresses at David's Bridal, I left feeling absolutely ridiculous in all of them. I could not see myself in a traditional white or ivory bridal gown.

After trying on 10-15 different dresses at David's Bridal, I left feeling absolutely ridiculous in all of them. I could not see myself in a traditional white or ivory bridal gown. So I took a chance and ordered a light grey dress off Amazon and it finally came in!

The color was a little different than I expected, as it appears more shiny/silver in certain lighting (pic 2&3) but I LOVE the way I feel in it! I tried it on with my mom and sisters and they all loved it as well. I showed a picture to my FMIL since she offered to make my veil and she commented on how revealing it is and how with alterations I could make the neck line higher.

I felt comfortable in it but now I'm second guessing myself. It obviously still needs alterations at the bottom and the shoulders are loose so I assume that will help a bit.

Do you all think it is too revealing? Is the color too metallic-y?

I can return it if I choose so I will not be out any money. TIA for your unbiased opinions!!

    I love the dress and colour! I, personally would raise the neckline, but if you like it go for it!

    I think you look great in it and it is not too shiny, but it is a little revealing. I would cover the under boob part just a bit more.

    You look amazing in it! Personally I don't think it has too much cleavage. As long as you are comfortable it should be fine. I would also think of how comfortable you will be dancing in it and things like that.

    The dress is gorgeous but I would raise the neckline just a tad to reduce a bit the cleavage, people's eyes might go straight to the cleavage first, then your face second. But it's a gorgeous dress And looks pretty much perfect otherwise.

    I love it! It's definitely not too sparkly!

    Do you think it's too much cleavage? Will you feel uncomfortable at all in it as is? If you can answer no to both, leave it! If you're not comfortable with that much cleavage for your wedding, speak to a tailor about bringing up the neck line.

    If you want to subject yourself to the court of public opinion though, I would have the neckline raised if it were me.

    I think it is gorgeous! But a small modesty panel would help I think, maybe just some lace?

    Thank you all! I plan on taking it to a seamstress to see what can be done. I feel much more confident with keeping the dress and making it work without being too boobalious!!

    It's beautiful. I wouldn't add a sheer panel. I would just lift from the shoulders and it would be fine.

    The dress is gorgeous! I would take some sheer from the bottom when you get it hemmed and I would follow the shape of the V to cover, instead of a piece that goes straight across. My dress became a little boobalicious by the end of the night so some photos they are totally out there but the family shots/ceremony/hubby shots are fine so I was happy with that.

    Wow, very beautiful dress and it seems to be a just right for you (obviously I don't know you personally and your style, but just off of how it looks). I'm pretty "conservative" when it comes to clothes and I searched all over for BM dresses with sleeves. BUT my dress is low in the back, way more then I'd usually do. It's your wedding, one day you can pull it off and no one has a say in what you wear. If you love it, go for it girl!

    You look amazing and it doesn't look bad just A little low cut(for me, I'm definitely blessed up to and those girls don't always like their assigned seats LOL) but like you mentioned if it has to adjusted in shoulders it may raise up. Do what your comfortable in because your rocking that dress!

    I love the color and shininess. I think you should do what's comfortable for you for the neckline.

    I think the dress is pretty, but honestly I think it is too much cleavage. I would just be staring at your boobs all night.
