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 😘
You have a stunning figure and the dress is beautiful. We can’t see your face but your face should tell it all- when I tried on ‘the one’ I just knew.I burst into tears and my face said it all in the pictures that were taken.

Ditch the belt, the dress alone speaks for itself 😍

I’m so sorry it wasn’t the appointment you dreamt of and I hope you can have at least your mum join an appointment soon if you are still uncertain. x

You look stunning!! I agree with other posters, I would lose the belt too. If you would like it bardot style could you look into having it altered? Seamstresses can do amazing things with wedding dresses (I am really short and they took feet off mine including the train!)

I was meant to get married on Saturday (ew Covid) so here’s mine: (not on me, on a gorgeous model)
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

You have an amazing figure!! I like the dress but love the back more, so pretty! I agree with everyone else about the belt.
 
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!
Love the back even.... Bride Brain! Ahaha

I’m not a wedding dress person (never married) but you look stunning-it’s beautiful
Lose the belt (it chops you in half) and you’ll look amazing
Congratulations

As others have said the front is a no from me, makes it look a little old fashioned but I do love the back it’s very flattering on you. And unless you feel self conscious about it I wouldn’t necessarily go for a higher neck just because you’re flat chested something lower could also be super flattering. You could get away with wearing something bigger chested girls couldn’t.

Good Luck hope you find something you love 💖

*i meant the belt makes it look old fashioned x

I'm going to brutally honest you have the most amazing figure and I feel the cut and the style of the dress does nothing to highlight and accentuate that. It looks a bit old fashioned to me and the cut is not right for your figure sorry. The back is lovely but the front , upper and side shape is not right for you. x

DO NOT GET A LONG VEIL! I had a church wedding and a cathedral length veil, and it ended up being stood on all the time when we arrived at the reception, and I couldn’t get it out of my hairdo myself, so my hairdresser (who was a friend so attended) had to redo my hairstyle at the venue because people kept standing on it.
