Wedding Dress Rejects: Let's Play!

Which dresses didn't make the cut, and why? Share pics if you got 'em! (I wish I kept pics I didn't really like because my "unhappy" faces were pretty funny.) Post a pic of "The One" if you found yours already and tell us why. I REALLY wanted a fitted bodice with sleeves & a ball gown skirt--so...

I REALLY wanted a fitted bodice with sleeves & a ball gown skirt--so hard to find in 2016. Finally, when I tried on a Hayley Paige (way out of budget), I had the idea of trying separates to create the look I wanted.

YAY. Martina Liana "Blake" bodysuit + Morilee skirt.

    OMG I love the one you picked!

    This is such a great thread! Unfortunately I'm still sometimes suffer from dress doubt - I guess some of the dresses I tried on 'pulled me in' more than the dress I ended up with, but I wasn't able to sit or breath! Also... back fat lol ...

    So I'm just trying to focus on the fact that my dress is beautiful and comfortable, even if it might not give me that amazing waist like a corset dress.... and I'm in love with the back Smiley heart

    Thank you! The sample was ivory with a moscato underlay (can’t really tell in that pic). I ordered all ivory and I can’t wait to see it!

    I went dress shopping by myself. So I don’t really have pics but here’s the dress I chose ultimately. It had everything I wanted: illusion neckline, bling, and ball gown dramatic skirt. Just can’t wait to see how my seamstress bustles it so I can dance the night away ❤️

    Omg how fun! The first 4 dresses were rejects. Especially number 2 and 4. The mermaid skirt on 2 was so HEAVY. And the fabric on 4 was not flattering at all. It was like crepe!

    Number 1 was my 2nd favorite, but the last one where I am holding the flowers is my dress!! ❤️

    I have a bunch of these. Most of the dresses I tried, I decided they weren’t it almost immediately, so I tried a bunch. My sister took pictures so my mom could see as she couldn’t make it.

    This was sooooo fun!!! I love feathers which is why I tried on the first one- but I just ended up falling COMPLETELY in love with the one I bought (which isn’t pictured) I was also in search for long sleeves!

    The first one you posted was my runner up dress! I found one that was more "me" but I love that dress.

    This is such a fun thread!!! I don’t have any photos of the rejects from the shop where I bought my dress, but these are the ones from the other shop I went to.

    Obviously the pro pictures are the ones of the dress I ended up with 😍 sorry for all the pictures, I just LOVE my dress!!!

    Oh my goodness they are all so beautiful! My dress is a spaghetti strap so i am definitely biased to that style. You picked some awesome choices including the embroidery, some color, i love the sparkly ones, but the one you chose has to be my favorite! It has the ruffles, the embroidery, the sparkle, the straps, i love it all! The perfect dress! Cant wait to see you wear it!
