Vegas attire

Bstoltz, on January 13, 2021 at 1:08 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
So, we decided to do a casual elopement to Vegas now, instead of a local ceremony with family and friends. I am struggling decide on what type of dress to wear ... I have major body-image issues and dont usually wear shorts or dresses above my calves. I love the long lace dress, but coworkers say it should be the short one. Opinions please?!Vegas attire 1

    You should wear what you feel comfortable in and the most beautiful in! I personally LOVE the first dress option! Just because you're having a Vegas wedding, doesn't mean you have to wear the typical short wedding dress!

    Wear what you are comfortable in. If you don't feel right in short dresses, then don't have that as an option. If you love the long dress, then go with it. Have you tried it on yet?

    I have not tried on either, because they are from an online store. I did extensive homework on reviews, and other buyers have been pleased with both.

    Even with reviews, you need to try them on. Very few people have the same body type as the models.

    I suggest to visit a bridal store, just to try different types of dress shapes. I decided on something I never like, and the one I love looks terrible on me. As pp said, unless we have a model figure, not every dress looks good on us. After you found out what type you like, you could buy or continue shopping online for the type of dress. Happy shopping!

    I feel like people would say go with the short one since it's not as formal, but it's still your wedding!! Do what you want and wear what makes you feel beautiful!

    Thanks everyone for the input!!! I have not tried either style on since they are from an online site, but a local bridal store has something very similar so I made an appointment to go in and explore options.

    Oooh fun!! We’re also planning on eloping to Vegas in July to get the legal stuff out of the way. I was also leaning towards a long dress but DP suggested a short one because of the hot temperature and people walking on my dress.


    This is what I ended up buying online:
