Advice needed on my dress *flash

Gbutterfly, 27 September, 2011 at 22:27 Posted on Planning 0 32

I've been thinking about amending my dress to a sweetheart, here are two pics of the top of my dress as it is now, and the last two pics of a bride who has customised hers to a sweetheart. Can I have honest opinions?

    Straight for me, I'm hoping it's just that unfortunate bride and how the dress fits her but the bulge (I think it's a flower) on her 'lady bit' is very unflattering for a wedding dress, other than that, straight and lovely detail so you dont need the sweetheart neckline x

    It doesn't look 100% straight anyway (IYKWIM) so I'd leave it as is!

    Usually I'm always a sweetheart fan (I got mine altered) but in this case I think it spoils it. As others have said it has a slight bow to it anyway and it's perfect as it is.

    Another vote here for keeping the dress as it is ? I think the straight cut suits the dress much more than sweetheart. But the choice is yours.

    I'm with the majority... I love sweetheart necklines but I think this particular dress looks much better as it is. It doesn't look as nice with the SH neckline x

    I prefer the first one, and it does have a gentle dip anyway. With all the embellishments I think that's enough, the sweetheart just seems to make a bit too much going on if that makes sense.

    Personally, I think it might depend on your shape. Is it you in the top pictures? If so or you are simialrly slim, I think either would suit you (I think I prefer it straight like the majority but thats neither here nor there), if its not, it might depend a bit on your boobs- I'm bigger on top and personally didnt think a sweetheart shape worked for me, a little bit too ❤️❤️ !!

    First one is demure, pretty and bridal. Second one screams "look at my chest". So, first if you're a bride, second if you're a reality TV star making a red carpet entrance ;-)
