New dress and Wedding dress regret

Melanie, on October 21, 2019 at 3:36 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 49

What do you think about this dress? I want to buy a new dress because I don't like the one I bought anymore. I feel that in the new dress my back looks very wide and I don't know what can be done. maybe add a back V neckline.I also feel that I look very narrow on my hips? Maybe I can wear hip pads?...

    You look gorgeous in both, but they are obviously extremely different. How do you picture yourself on your wedding day? One look is obviously much more openly sexy and the other is a more subdued romantic sexy. Once you know how you want to look, you’ll have a better idea as to what style to get. But without a doubt you will look beautiful in anything

    I think the Aline dress is more romantic and the mermaid is more modern. Both look great on you but maybe you should wear one for the ceremony and the other for the reception. Also I would think about your theme and what goes best.

    The Aline gown is so beautiful on you and looks more bridal.

    They’re both so beautiful and you look gorgeous in BOTH! If you’re have doubts in the style you bought and prefer the new one slightly, I would just talk with your seamstress or the person doing your alterations to make changes. It might be costly, but you’ll end up saving money vs buying a whole new dress. They can alter your A-line to a mermaid fitting dress, and if you prefer no sleeves they can definetly remove them too! Looks stunning either way.

    They are both gorgeous on you, but honestly, the original dress has you too covered up. I think that could be an easy fix of removing the sleeves, though. I would vote for the original dress sans sleeves, cause it looks more bridal to me, but it all really boils down to what you want to look like on your wedding day. Good luck!

    Both are amazing! But they are soooo different. If it’s the mermaid you love, then wear it.

    I am biased because I have an A line. But both look great! The A Line is more my style, but just go with your gut! If you like the mermaid then go for it.

    I think the A-line is much better for your figure. It balances out your shoulders.

    I like both the a line would be perfect for the wedding and maybe use the mermaid for the reception if that's an option. I do agree with getting the sleeves cut though.

    Both are gorgeous! You don't look anything but stunning. The mermaid really shows your body structure but can be hard to walk, sit and dance in also may show bloatedness (if you get that way) after you eat. The sleeved one would be good for cold weather, may be itchy? And of course is a little more princessess-y. Because of your figure, the mermaid is great if the above I mentioned isnt a problem

    I love both dresses honestly! The A-line looks great on you and I love the detailing. But the fit and flare also compliments your frame well.

    I don't think you can go wrong with either!

    The A Line is pretty, but that mermaid dress looks amazing on you! And you just seem to exude confidence in it.

    Um i think the best option is use the A-line for the ceremony and the Mermaid for the reception! Best of both worlds and you look awesome in both!

    I couldn't decide either so I choose two dresses as well Smiley smile
