Dress dilemma

apa, 14 June, 2011 at 21:40 Posted on Planning 0 20

I'm new to hitched, but this seems a good place to get some honest opinions! I have bought my dress (from a sample sale) and it needs some significant alterations (size-wise). I have already met with a seamstress, and she has said she will pretty much have to re-construct the dress so I have a fair bit of say in the alterations she makes. I have my fitting appointment in a couple of weeks, and my dilemma is what shape I should ask her to make the skirt. I have three options, but none of them look like the online pictures, so I am wondering which people prefer? The first one is with a hoop, the second is just as is (held in at the back), and the third is held in more at the hips (in a vague fishtail-type fashion)



No idea why one picture is bigger than the others - this is nothing to do with which I prefer, as I have no idea!

    Hi apa ?

    They all look good but I love the look of the 3rd picture. Looks like it would look beautiful on you.

    Hello ?

    I like number 3 as well, really suits your shape and I think fishtail looks great if you have the figure to carry it off

    3rd option for me!

    Your dress is lovely by the way. I'm loving lace the now, so timeless and classy IMO.

    I agree with the fishtail.

    They're not my favourite shape usually so it shows it must look really good on you for me to like it LOL! Suits you beautifully, really flattering!

    Fish tail I think - if you have the figure for it you should make the most of it!
