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 think it's awesome! Boobs and all. What are they, if they aren't accessories? It's not your problem if someone feels a certain way about YOUR body. It's their problem. I think it's gorgeous and will look very bridal with a veil and flowers.

    I do think there's a lot of cleavage and it is on the shiny side but so what? It's the dress that you love and feel good in and that is what matters. Plus no one in the family seems to be giving you a hard time so I don't see a problem. If you love it, keep it!

    It's a beautiful dress and you look stunning! However, I would raise the neckline or maybe just add a sheer layer across.

    I think the color looks great. I tend to lean more conservative for formal events so I would up the neckline a little.

    If it were me, I'd feel uncomfortable with that much boob showing but I'm kind of reserved.

    I love the dress, and you look gorgeous in it! If I were wearing the dress I would cover up some of the cleavage, but I'm conservative . If you feel comfortable and it doesn't bother you, let it be!
