sweetheart or straight neckline?

I'm not going to be much help, just wanted to say it is a lovely dress and u think it looks nice with a straight neckline. It has enough detail and very pretty. But if it's something you really want I'm sure it would look lovely!!

I must say I prefer it with the straight neckline, but then I'm biased as my dress has a straight neckline and I generally prefer them.

However, as the above poster has said, it's got to be how you will be most comfortable and happy and I'm sure a sweetheart neckline would be possible on that dress and look good

I think either neckline would look great on that dress - I don't think anything on that dress would clash with sweetheart. Sweetheart is my personal fave. Maybe go back and try it on and get the seamstress to pin it into a sweetheart so you can see?

I had my dress altered to a sweetheart... HTH

At my first fitting (I look a really weird shape?!)

On the day

I had a straight neckline...

I did toy with the idea of having it made into a sweetheart but I am glad I didn't.

Lisa you look stunning! And the sweetheart neckline works so much better for some reason!

Gorgeous Lisa! And much better as a sweetheart, balances the fishtail I think...

What Jo said is very true actually - I really liked the fact that mine was a high straight neckline - I have a big bust and don't like it. I felt completely comfortable on my wedding day.

Good point.

Cleavage + Church = Uncomfortable! ?

My dress originally had a straight line, but I had it altered so that there is now a slight dip, for me I felt a lot better after the change. It's entirely up to you though.

Gorgeous Pic Kharv ?

Mine has a very slight dip in the middle. I just think it depends on your figure really as to what suits you.

Thanks ladies does any one have any of my dress? i think for my shape it would make me look less broad! im not massive up top but i thimk it will help, i just wanted to see if anyone had a pic of my actual dress that has been altered.

I agree it's all about the boobage! I'm only little in that department and have gone for a notched sweetheart to add some curves. Still don't have a cleavage as such though as there's not enough of them!

OP, have you googled your dress for real brides? Have you got a photo of you in your dress that you could post? Maybe change the title of this thread to the name/number of your dress to attract anyone who's got the same dress?

TBH I prefer sweetheart necklines. i'm a chesty girl and my dress has a sweetheart neckline. Mine looked fine squeezed into a size 14 dress, so i imagine it will be fine in the correct size.

I think your dress might look better with a sweetheart neckline, but if you're not keen how about a slight dip rather than a proper heart shape?

I had my dress altered and loved the result x

I HAVE A ELLIS DRESS TO 11054.

Mine is a sweetheart neckline , not a really deep one but deep enough . I have big big big boobs but all the straight neck ones didnt do much for me as i seem to go from neck to boobs with no chest in-between lol So straight did nothing for me....

Im just hoping i dont fall out of my dress now lol

I had a sweetheart, size 12 with D/E boobs. If the bust area is fitted correctly, there shouldnt be any gaping bits or too much cleavage hanging out!!!

When you see someone with a V-neck top or a sweetheart neckline, the eye naturally goes down the V, then up again. You are looking the person up & down which adds height & gives the allusion of a slim body.

When the bust line is cut across the body in a straight line, the eye too goes across the body & back. This can give the allusion of a fatter, wider body.

I mainly wear V-neck tops anyway for this reason, so there was no way I was going for a straight across one on a wedding dress. For me, the sweetheart is more feminine & gives a womanly shape. Its a personnal preference though.
