Anyone try on a dress that you thought looked great, however, everyone else thought otherwise! Upload a pic of the close but no cigar dress. This dress was 4 sizes too small and didnt close all the way in the back. With some weight loss, the right size, and a good undergarment to hide the belly, i think i couldve pulled it off but man i got ripped apart from everyone else hahaha. This is the "horrible" dress everyone criticized.

    It’s not horrible at all! I’d call it simple and elegant!

    I agree with PP. It reminds me of Meghan Markle's beautiful wedding dress! I think a veil could help get everyone on board Smiley smile

    I actually really love the dress you!

    This was my close but no cigar dress. My sister, cousin, and mom told me that I’m already pear-shaped and plus sized so having such a “big” dress made me look ridiculous.

    I like it. I also prefer the simpler gowns as opposed to the trendier, extravagant ones. You said it was a couple sizes too small, maybe you could ask the bridal store if they could get one in a bigger size for you to try on, or call around to see if someone else can. The right fit of a dress makes all the difference. And since it’s so simple, there’s a lot you can do to personalize your look with accessories.

    Thanks everyone...this was actually a pop up store in nyc (cocomelody). I was intrigued on how cheap in price the dresses were so i wanted to put the quality to the test so they only had a limited amount of dresses. I wound up buying this beauty and im glad they talked me out of the first one as im in love with this one

    I agree🤣 they werent seeing the bigger picture. A veil wouldve taken it over the top. The neckline wouldve changed too if the dam thing zippered🤣...but i found another dress and im in love with it❤

    Pear shapes and this style dress are not always a no. I am pear shaped and thought mermaid all the way but the dress I love is simple and shaped like this one, I posted a pic of myself in it. It's structured and taffeta so maybe that is the difference. PS pear shapes are BANGING 😍😍

    You look MUCH happier in this dress! I'm glad you went with this one! I love the other one but this one just seems so much more like your dress

    I think this looks great on you! Ball gowns are great on plus sized women because it cinches you in at the waist.

    This was one of the first dresses that I tried on, and I fell in love with it for the bodice and the AMAZING open back (and pockets).

    But I ended up going with a totally different look (still an A-line) that I’m VERY happy with!!

    I absolutely loved this dress (in ivory, although the grey was surprisingly nice too). It was light, airy, and fit almost perfectly right off the hanger. But my mom and FMIL hated it because it was “too plain” (I.e. no added bling without the belt). It didn’t even have a petticoat to get all that poof. It’s one of 3 dresses that I actually wish I’d gotten over the dress I ended up buying... so much regret.

    Then the 1st one was TOO white (whitest dress in the store) and didn’t have a train, and the 2nd one wasn’t white enough, and was “too busy”

    This is the dress I ended up buying, and I don’t like it anywhere near as much as I liked the other 3...

    This dress is beautiful...i would add a cathdral veil and a beautiful necklace to make the dress pop. A nice necklace would take it over the top

    Thank you. I’m working really hard to love it again. I gushed about it for 2 weeks, and now I can’t stop thinking about how I don’t like it as much. I’m thinking about getting a cape, but they’re all either plain tulle, or have lace, not beading. I hate the way veils feel, so that’s probably not going to work.
