Beginner November 2022 East Central London

Help me pick a dress!

Chloe, 26 of January of 2022 at 09:25 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 23
My wedding is in November and I'm struggling with choosing a dress! We're getting married in an old barn and I imagined something very whimsical and flowy, but also tried on the halter neck which is a very different look but I like that too. What do people think? First one needs a fair few alterations on the sleeve.

    They are both gorgeous! For your venue (and November, when you may appreciate sleeves) the first one wins for me! I also think that if the wedding you imagine in your head has you in a flowy dress then you're less likely to have second thoughts on if you stick with that vibe...

    I haven't picked my dress yet (going shopping in two weeks!), but I often think when you're making a big outfit decision the one you find yourself staring at more and/or the one you were most reluctant to get changed out of is often a good way to figure out which one is really the one Smiley heart

    The first one is nice but looks a little like it hangs from you and not sure the waist line is as flattering as the band on number 2, personally I think number 2 looks amazing on you and really shows off your figure,. You could always add a shrug for warmth if needed

    They both look lovely on you, but I think the first one would fit in more with your venue and the style of wedding you are imagining.

    The first one is perfect for your wedding in an old barn in November time. I do agree the second one is more fitted and shows off your waist a bit more but you could always get the first alterated. You look amazing in both!

    Number two!! wow, it looks fab on you
    That would be my choice too but I've decided that a tea length dress will be more suitable as this is my second time around. If it was my first I would be all over that! Good luck deciding .

    Both are stunning but dress number 2 just looks like it was made for you! It's so versatile and could work for any venue but will be amazing for your barn wedding.

    Whilst I love the first one I think, as has been mentioned, November will be cold and if u wanted a shrug or something to cover shoulders and arms it would fit better over the second one and u do look amazing in it too. It accentuates ur lovely figure that bit more.

    I choose number 1 for your venue and style. It’s a boho type dress whimsical and floaty. Team it up with a belt made to accentuate your waist.
    The second one is beautiful, particularly the top and belt bit. A fitted dress is what everyone chooses to accentuate their curves. Which one can you see yourself being in all day comfort wise. Both look comfortable but are you going to have it taken in so that it will be figure hugging?

    Both stunning dresses - great choices & what a figure! Personally i'd go number 2 as it is so chic & I prefer a more fitted style, but I also agree with the feedback around sleeves for your venue. Luckily you look great in both!! Which will you feel more comfortable in & which do you think you'll love forever?xx

    Both dresses are lovely, but I would personally go for dress number 2.

    Although I think its nice to have a vibe and everything match/fit with the venue, I think its more important about how you feel in the dress. I doubt anyone would say you wore a dress that didn't fit your venue. Also I think you would stand out more in the second dress.
    Go with your gut Smiley smile

    Number 2 looks amazing! When I went shopping I ended up choosing something that was the complete opposite of what I had in my head.. Smiley laugh

    Number 2 😍 It gives you a beautiful shape and looks like it was made for you. It will definitely stand the test of time in photos.

    It might be weird but I think I should give this idea. the idea is Vikings wedding dress and this style has a unique variety of wedding dresses. The floor-length dress, long sleeve square collar hooded, and vintage hooded dress are the exclusive articles.
