"sexy" wedding dresses

Kate is there a reason why you're trolling my thread?

@Chivy I love #3, but with my big old boobs, I would definitely feel slutty. I think the cleavage is way too low though for a wedding dress, and probably wouldn't wear it no matter my breast size . Bring that cleavage up about 4 inches and I would buy it in a heart beat if it looked good on me.

I'm mostly sad for you that you have such a warped view of self worth and importance.

@Chivy . I caused all this sorry for sharing my view that's influenced by my background. Hopefully they would stop making a big deal out of what I said. Hope you find the right dress and most importantly you feel dignified in it. Take care.

Chivy, I think you should wear whatever YOU feel beautiful and comfortable in. Not what your FH wants, not what you think guests will approve of, not what WE like either.

Granted, there are exceptions, like religious ceremonies where a dress that shows a lot of skin would be unacceptable.

However, I don't think that making your own dress from scratch is wise, but to each their own.

Wow, let's all take some deep breaths!

Name-calling, personal attacks, and telling people to leave is not allowed.

@Chivy - If you have the time, resources, and skill to sew your own wedding dress, go for it! I could barely sew the elastics into my ballet shoes as a kid, so I'm blown away by people who can make an entire gown!

Everyone can wear whatever dress they like, however sexy or modest they'd like. Let's just not bash each other.

Thank you Renae.

Women! Can! Wear! Whatever! They! Want!

If my FH told me that I couldn't wear a semi-sheer dress (he wouldn't bc he doesn't tell me what to do), there would be a fight. Nobody is going to tell me what I can or can't wear. EVER. If I was comfortable enough with my body you bet your ass I'd be wearing a sexy dress and I'd shut down anyone who had a problem with it.

I am sick of this ass backwards, old fashioned view of how women should or shouldn't act. If a women shows skin she's automatically a "slut". Or as @Renae says "not a good wife". FUCK! THAT! I understand each woman has her own taste but to sit there and judge other women for wearing something that makes them feel good about themselves is absurd to me.

I agree with MMB - if you're getting married in a church or having a religious ceremony, there might be some modesty steps you need to take!

Or you can go the route that I did - and bought a dress that wasn't crazy revealing (just had a deep V), had poor posture, forgot the photographer was taking pictures, and gave everyone quite the glimpse

Lmao @lynnie

@WWlynnie you rocked that dress girl, glimpses included!

I appreciate everyone's input tho. I think it was a mostly successful discussion.

Cursing is not a vio. Memes are not a vio. Telling someone you disagree with their backward thinking is not a vio. I didn't call anyone a name. Someone coming up in a thread of mostly woman talking about what they should and should not wear because we are woman is not a vio and neither is me disagreeing with it.

I would like my comment reinstated, mods.

Chivy back to my last comment. Even if you plan to make your dress, I think you should go try some on to get an idea of what style you like on you.

I love the dresses but, I don't think I would feel like a bride. I could wear a dress like that to any upscale event.

@Chivy - are you on board with locking this post from commenting? I'm happy to do that!

I wondered why @Beut's comment was flagged... People need to read the CG's before they go flagging crazy...

@future yes I definitely plan on it. Thanks for the suggestion

I also don't see why anybody cares whether or not OP makes her own dress. DO YOU.

I mean, making her own dress is just an added stress. She can totally do it, but she needs to remember that it will be much more work than just making a sundress.
