Potential wedding dress... Feedback!

[Littlemisadoughnut]

OK so I had my first bridal appointment today. It was just the weirdest experience! Had to keep a mask on the whole time, wasn't allowed any guests at all and they had to spray down the dresses. The guy who was helping me was faaaaaabulous but had to wear a plastic visor such a weird experience! Anyway, my experience was just so not how I'd drempt about it as a little girl this was my favourite dress of the day, I'm super pear shaped so most looked a bit silly because I'm so flat chested! However my mum isn't sure... Just wanted some honest, impartial feedback (be as brutal as you like! I can take it!) and any advice about styles if you think anything else would be a much better look for my weird body type!

Thanks tattle fam

Ladies!

Original poster here...

Little update, I ended up buying my dress today!

Hope you like it doesn't look as good in these photos as it did on, I don't mind if you don't like it at all, no worries my end can't wait to get it all fitted properly!

Thanks for all your help and support I'm over the moon

Yeah I would lose the belt. It almost makes it look like you're wearing a top and a skirt, not a full dress.

Don’t think you are pear shaped at all. You have a fabulous figure. Love the dress too

 

[Littlemisadoughnut]

Thanks so much ladies I agree about the belt!

The salesman was quite keen on it, but it was £300 so I wonder why

I am so NEARLY sold on it, but I WISH it was bardot.... I love off the shoulder and feel like it balances me out a little bit more! Will try and keep looking I think, and if I don't find anything better I think this is the one <3 So weird in the shop I was convinced it was the one, but not the whole "eeeeeee I'm a bride!" mania has calmed down I'm probably thinking a bit more rationally.

Oh very pretty! Although I’m not keen on the belt / jewels in the middle, seems to cut your figure up too much - I think it would look better without it. Good luck with your decision!

I think you look lovely. If you feel it's the one, go for it. Personally I am not a fan of lace overlay so I think the back is nicer than the front, but it's not my dress and really suits you. I adore the buttons down the back. Veil looks lovely with it. What I will say is make sure you go to at least 5 shops. Sometimes you'll try one on that doesn't look much on the hanger but when you try it on it looks perfect.

I thought at first it was a top and a skirt!.I think it looks nice but like the others say you don't need a belt..Also you are very slim a with a nice figure not pear shaped! Are you having this one or trying some more?

It's a stunning dress but I would loose the belt if possible, you have a beautiful figure x

God I love wedding dresses and you’d look great in a bin bag!

The low back looks incredible on you and really makes you look so elegant. I think the straight necklineline at the front with no sleeves isn’t as flattering as it could be; its sort of squaring your front. Agreed with what others have said re belt, though I know why you like it. I would love to see you in something that’s fitted at the waist but perhaps has a small amount more volume at the hips. It would really show off your beautiful shoulders and back, your delicate frame and draw your eye upwards. OR stay super slimline with the skirt and a low back, but explore a different neckline.

My friend recently purchased from House Of Ollichon. They were amazing and only do two-pieces and jumpsuits. She was able to get a flowing but fitted skirt (she wanted her butt to look good!) and a top with a sweetheart neckline, low buttoned back and ¾ length lace sleeves. Might be good for some inspo!

PLEASE feel free to post more photos And truly, if you feel special and beautiful and carefree in your dress, then that is the only thing that matters!

Thanks so much for your input ladies... I've thought about what a lot of you have said and I think that although I love the front, I like but don't LOVE the front. I think it's gonna be a good reserve dress. I'm trying a different shop on Sunday, will post if they have anything better!

 

[Geranium]

You look beautiful and the dress really suits you so well !

 

[GlennCoco]

I think it is a beautiful dress and you have an amazing figure! I agree with previous posters that the belt cuts you up a little bit so I wouldn't have that personally.
How did you feel in the dress?

 

[Annieanne]

I have no idea why you think you're pear shaped as you most definitely are not. Maybe someone has made you think that. I think the world is your oyster with a figure like that. You would look beautiful in a bin bag. My youngest daughter was married last year and just in time before the virus. I'm sorry for all the upset this is causing to young engaged couples.

 

[Littlemisadoughnut]

Thanks so much ladies anyone who says tattle is full of haters needs to feel some of this love, lol

 

[MrsWolf]

I think these styles would look lovely on you. When is the wedding?

The dress on the left was my wedding dress!
I love the original dress posted but as everyone else has said I would personally say no to the belt! It suits you so well!
My only advise with the Bardot style dress if you are looking to have that, is just be careful! As I said the dress I’ve quoted was the exact style I had, I absolutely loved it, however the lace on the “sleeve” did start to rub towards the end of the night and left me with red marks. If you think about it you’ve got the weight of the whole dress on those sleeves. I mean it was worth it to have the dress I loved but just thought I’d share this as something to think about!

Thanks tattle fam

You look amazing! When’s the wedding?
Definitely try on other dress styles as I ended up picking something I definitely wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for the sales lady telling me to try it on.. when I did I loved it!

 

[Lollypad]

That's beautiful, has it got pockets?! If so that is possibly the best wedding dress ever! Hope you have a lovely not a wedding day tomorrow xx

It does have pockets! I love them!
Thank you - we’re booked back in for next June!

 

[NapQueen]

Love the back but hate the front I’m afraid! It just doesn’t look...right. You have an amazing figure so find something that accentuates it...I think Pinterest is really good for stuff like that?

 

[Penelope Strawberry]

You'd look cracking in a bin bag, to be honest.

I'm sorry that you haven't been able to experience the full dress shopping experience thanks to corona, but you look stunning.

Agree with the comments that the belt isn't needed - it breaks up the silhouette.

All the best for your upcoming nuptials.
