"sexy" wedding dresses

I like more conservative dresses. Classic and elegant would be the way I would like to describe the dresses I wear including my wedding dress. This is how I dress for work too. I think you can wear something form fitting, but if there is too much cleavage or other revealing characteristics it can quickly become something that draws attention.

@Chivy if you are set on making your dress I would suggest you get started ASAP. You technically have until September to make a decision whether you can do it or if you should buy. I see no harm in trying as long as you understand it might not work out. I would also suggest if you are going to sew a dress, to pick a simpler design. There is a reason those dresses cost so much. The detail and skill needed is advanced and will be different from anything you have sewn before

@Future I haven't tried on any bridal dress yet. I plan to in a few weeks. I'm really going off of the type of formalwear I prefer to wear in general. But you're right, it very well might change after I try some dresses on.

Keisha, I plan on starting everything in a few weeks, when my schedule opens up.

Oh wow, I'm suddenly sitting at work wondering if my wedding dress is too much! which is annoying because I know its not

I think as long as your dress fits your personality, no one will be surprised. It should be a bridal version of your day to day style.

Am I right? Am I wrong?

Kayla, money isn't the issue. I just want to make my own dress. I briefly considered upcycling a dress I saw in a thrift store once, but I'd actually rather not.

Autumn, I agree. And if you're happy with your dress, it's perfect for you!

Chivy, have you made a wedding dress before?

@Beat

Let's go back to the beginning. Who is a bride? What does she represent ? Is it necessary to expose certain body parts or can you just save it for your husband's? eyes. I understand the desire to be admired, however more than anything else modesty is admirable. You are going to be a WIFE.

@Swin no.

K. Renae and others. Hold up. Since when is modesty based on how we as women are expected to behave. Like why is "save it for your husband" a reason for being modest on your wedding day? I'm all for dressing how YOU want to. Not how your husband wants you too. Not how anyone else does. Just you. I feel like 1950s wife is commenting with all of these comments.... Ugh.

A deep V still lets you be "wife material"

Uh, EXCUSE ME @Renae?

Wife means I have to cover up my skin?

NO.

ROCK OUT WITH YA TITS OUT!

Chivy, wedding dresses are much different than your run of the mill dress pattern. I would not recommend it at all. Trust me. My mom is a great seamstress and made all of my sisters and I's prom dresses and formal dresses. But, for my oldest sister's wedding, she refused to do it. She said it's MUCH different than any other dress.

If your FH is against it, I think you should listen to his wishes. It's his wedding too. You can be sexy without being revealing.

ETA words

@Renae I respect your opinion, but I don't agree with it.

Thank you Olivia.

Just giving my views. I am not telling you what to do. Did i give a list of instructions? NO do have a seat. BYE

@Renae ya no the rest of us live in the 21st century, my dressing style does not dictate if I will be a good wife.

Chivy posted the dresses as inspiration and clearly stated she wanted something that had a sexy element. She also said she wanted a dress that had a one or two sexy elements as she didn't want it to be too much. And if a bride wants her titties on display, I am not buying her dress so why do I care
