I enjoy watching say yes to the dress, and am always interested by how adamant some of the entourage can be about how much skin is appropriate to show. Some of the groups seem super conservative, but equally, some of the dresses seem to extremely revealing too - more and more dresses seem to be backless, frontless or totally sheer!
I personally think people should wear what they feel comfortable in and makes them happy. And some of them are just stunning!
But, I myself wouldn't want to show that much on my own day, and I would hazard that a lot of other people wouldn't really either, because they'll be surrounded by not just their own families, including conservative older relatives, but also those of their partner!
It got me thinking. How revealing did you think you wanted your dress to be? Did you end up buying something more or less conservative than you expected? Did your entourage have any impact on your decision?
In my case, my family weren't pushing for me to get something conservative at all, but because I get cold easily, I added sleeves to my dress, and on reflection I think it will be the most covered wedding dress I've seen in our peer group outside of dresses being so for religious/cultural reasons.
I'm curious what your approach was, and what you chose!
