Thoughts on a "sheer" wedding dress

I think it depends on you, your FH, your ceremony space, and if you would comfortable in that in front of all of your guests.

Yeah sorry...I agree with Olivia...that dress is not my cup of tea and I have to say my jaw would drop to the ground if I saw someone walk down the aisle in that and not in a good way...but if you like it and you'd feel good in it, go for it!

I think it honestly depends on your venue. If you are thinking of a church wedding I would say absolutely not, but if you are doing something not really religious then do what makes you feel best. I find the majority of them a little distasteful to be honest, I just think sheer isn't meant for wedding, I would not feel comfortable in something like that in front of my aunts, uncles, parents, FILs, just... idk. I feel like the feeling a dress like that would give me isn't what I want to convey on my wedding day, wedding night - sure! I would save all the sheer items for the honeymoon.

I can't imagine FH's parents or Grandpa seeing me in that! Not to mention our church wouldn't allow it, they hardly allow bare shoulders!

I think they are inappropriate

Ive seen some really sexy ones--but they do tend to give me the vibe of a lingerie/corset top, with a towel wrapped around the hips. Id say try something more along an illusion neckline with open back and/or plunging cleavage--very sexy & the skirt doesnt feel like an afterthought.

I think there's a time and place for that dress but a wedding isn't one of them.

Not for me, but do you OP! I'd personally feel embarrassed & idk.... tacky.

Personally, I am not a fan, however, I'm not the one that would be wearing it. Are you planning a church wedding? If so, I would say it's pretty inappropriate for that, but if not, then I suppose it depends on if you are comfortable in that in front of all your guests. I would be prepared for some disapproval from some guests, though.

Not my cup of tea but if you like it, then go for it! Try one on and see if you like it.

It's not for me, but it's not about us! It's your day! Also, going for a low back option is often popular while still sexy as an alternative.

My thoughts on the dress you posted are probably something you don't want to hear, but, you asked. I think it's the equivalent of trying way too hard to be noticed, and if you can't count on your wedding day to be noticed, then a lingerie bodice could mentally seal the deal for you, but for all the wrong reasons.

That dress is unattractive, and honestly, your guests really don't want to see quite that much of you. So, there's that. If I saw a young woman walking the aisle in that, my first thought wouldn't be "Wow, how sexy." In my opinion, it would make you look insecure. So, there's that.

Now, your thoughts. You wrote, "I can't help but to like the dress idea but also doubt it at the same time." If you doubt it, even if 10% of you doubts it, throw it on the "NO" pile. You want to wear a gown that makes you feel amazing -- no doubts -- 100% confidence.

If nothing else, realize that these Pnina Tormei knock-offs will not age well. It's not even like the dresses of the 1980's, with their balloon sleeves -- or the dresses of the 1990's, with their football player shoulder pads. This is something different altogether, and I think you already know that (or you wouldn't have asked).

Buy it and put it on when you're in your hotel suite. He'll love it, when it's for his eyes, and his eyes alone.

I like It! I'm not one to cover up my body though and everyone knows It! Lol

I think they CAN be pretty but not for a wedding. I'd imagine cringing at those pictures 20 years from now. You want something classy and timeless...and if that is your definition of classy and timeless then go for it.

Perhaps for a very private ceremony, it would work. However, wedding dresses are not meant to be "sexy." They're meant to enhance the bride's beauty and add some elegance. I'd say pick out your wedding style and venue, go from there. Be aware of you you invite and how they will interpret the dress.

I think there are some that are really pretty and I wish I got a chance to try some on! I think the one posted is...off somehow. I can't tell if it's stark boning or the way it cuts buts it's off. I also agree that regardless of what dress it is, if you're having any doubts at all then keep looking. Try them on for sure! You're the only one who has to love your dress 100%.

I have many thoughts. The dress you posted reminds me of the Pnina Tornai dresses that were everywhere a few years ago, but less well done. I feel like that style has had it's day, and is now kind of dated.

It looks more like underwear than a wedding dress.

For me it would be a big no

I don't think they are very classy. If you wanted an element like this I might suggest something like a illusion back
