1st photo is the dress.
2nd and 3rd are new hem
4th photo is the WW hated hem lol

Backstory: dress: Allure Bridals 8800 bought used but in almost perfect condition other than being altered for $60. It fits almost perfect other than in the hips and most obvious the length. It hits the top of my feet when I'm barefoot. I'm going to be doing further alterations because I have no issue with that but adding length is a whole different monster and options are limited. So I am adding a lace hem. Y'all hated the last one so much! Lol is this better or no?

    The first one was definitely too big and busy. The new one definitely is better since it is daintier and doesn't scream look at me look at me

    I don't hate the 4th picture but I think the 2nd and 3rd picture do look nicer!

    Thanks everyone! I was so stressed when I found out everyone thought my first try was ugly but inside I knew it wasn't right. But in brick and mortar stores options can be a bit limited and those applique hems at 14 dollars a yard add up quick since my dress is 7 yards or so around with the train so a lace ribbon was my option. I'm glad I found one that looked good. I thought it did too but I just wanted the opinion of the WW crowd because you guys are brutally honest sometimes (not ever in a mean way though) and I knew I could count on you! I will post as I get it more put together and customized.
