To bow or not to bow .....

Posted in Wedding Attire 35

Sooo my dress is sort of plain in the front I am adding a belt but I was wondering if I put a bow at the bottom of the back of the dress? Would that look weird? Like where the dress starts on the lower back? Need some opinions pleaseeeee FRONT BACK another dress with the bow, I would want it...

    Yesss! I thought of this but I feel like with the back straps how they are it wouldn't look right.

    The dress has more then one layer, not thin but not too thick either, it is not transparent but I have considered a slip to hide my stupid belly button lol The problem is I dont have many to choose from, that are strapless and backless. I did find one (literally) though lol

    Yeah I imagine it’s not easy to find one. Maybe your seamstress can modify the slip to fit under the dress nicely. I wouldn’t blame your belly button lol. I think it’s just because dress is little tight in that area (anytime when you see those horizontal lines it means material is being pulled too tight) & like you said material is not very thick.

    You’re welcome 😊 I tailored a slip & a bra for other evening gowns by myself lol, so I’m sure a seamstress can do a great job with it!

    If it were me trying on a new outfit and I could see the print on the tag through the fabric, then that would be too transparent for me. Also, you can sort of see your skin tone through the fabric. Is this definitely the dress you want to wear on your wedding day? If it is, you may want to consider the bow. If not, you might want to choose something a little more A-line so that it's not transparent in those areas. You have a gorgeous figure. Whatever you decide is going to look great on you!

    I like the idea of the belt that you are adding... I like the back as is.
    The bow would throw off the look you are going for, in my opinion.
    The designer didn't add a bow for a reasonSmiley smile

    I'm not a fan of bows. I don't see it working with your dress. It needs something...maybe some bling, but I don't think a bow is it.
