Wedding Dress- Corset or Buttons? Unbiased opinions needed!

Jessica, on June 10, 2019 at 9:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 51
Ok, so, long story short, im going to make short sentences spaced out to make this as easy as possible.

I ordered my dress in the size the bridal shop said I measured into.

It was a little tight under the bust when I got it.

I have been losing weight, but was afraid to take the chance of it not fitting, so I had my seamstress put a corset in.

I just picked it up Thursday, and havent been able to have the dress 'properly laced up' with 2 people helping to see how it will truly look.
The pic above is the best I can get it for now.

My seamstress told me Thursday if i continue losing weight that the corset is going to "overlap" or basically just make it useless.

She can put a zipper and buttons back in, but I don't want to do that until I'm POSITIVE it will fit well without having to squeeze me into it.

The problem Is, i think i hate the corset. I didn't realize how much I liked the back until it was gone.

What do y'all think? Does the corset look ok? Am I over analyzing this?

All my friends keep saying the corset looks great, but I feel like they're just trying to be nice.

    Personally I prefer the look of the buttons over the corset. I think with buttons it looks cleaner and more put together

    I like the buttons way better. The corset takes away from the detail in the back. Hope that helps!

    I’m with the others and prefer the buttons. Not that the corset looks bad, I just like the buttons better.

    So I think the buttons look more classy. I will say I usually hate corset backs but I actually like yours. If you are going to have one yours really does look good. I have a zip up and am losing weight as well and am worried about stressing eating the week of and just being bloated the day of and it not fitting well. Just one pro to a corset back. But you do what you think is best for you!

    I have a corset back for mine but yours i actually love the back of with the buttons its looks beautiful that way even when your tightened in the corset properly it will still show and not look right bc she didnt put a piece of fabric behind the laces like it should to look better ....but i think if you can get the dress to fit properly the buttons look perfect for that dress and on you ! Good luck i hope that helps Smiley smile

    I think the buttons add a special touch to the dress! The corset seems to distract from the rest of the dress.

    This is helpful thank you! Actually I asked her not to put barrier in at the top because I thought it might look more uninformed since the lace at the top is also see through. I think I'm just going to lose a few more pounds and have the zipper put back in.

    Normally I like buttons but I really like the way the corset looks on your dress. You really can’t go wrong either way though they both look lovely!

    Thank you! Idk, my 'in love' with the dress (from the back anyhow) has went down to a 'in like'. Guess I'll just get these few extra pounds off and put the zipper back in.

    I like the corset myself because it fits better and looks like it was made for you. The buttons look kind of stretched and not in a straight line.

    Yeah, I know, the buttons pic was about 2 months and 15 lbs ago. She said this past Thursday she can put the zipper back in... so it wouldn't be that tight now. So now I'm just torn what to do.

    When I get stuck like this I’ll say a little prayer before bed and when I wake up I know what to do. (Most of the time). You’ll know when it’s time 💗. Either way they will both look beautiful!
