Wedding Dresses...Opinions Please! 3 Attachment(s) I need your help. So hear I am, nearly 50 and fat, getting ready to get married for the first time. We plan to elope to Vegas and have an outdoor wedding. It will be all I can do to get my guy into a suit and tie. No way will he wear a tux. At my age, I would not feel comfortable in a froo froo princess dress with a veil or something strapless or sleeveless. It's just not me. So, I have selected 3 dresses, all short, all to be worn with a birdcage net/veil (half face) in white (as shown in option C below). I have ordered white open toe pumps for shoes. Following are my 3 options so far. Which one do you like best? A. Coral Church Suit (ordered in white) B. Bolero jacket dress (ordered in white) C. Short lace wedding dress (ordered in white) Thanks so much! |
I love #3. I'm 25 and I would definitely wear it! You are going to be so beautiful!!! |
Well, all 3 are beautiful!! 1 and 2 are my faves. I think I'd probably go with........2!! Congrats, and good luck!! |
Ok I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE dress #2!!!! I love the design of it, I think anyone would look beautiful in it!! My mom is 50 and if she was getting married again I would totally say #2!! Shoot I'd wear it lol. And like Robin Lodal I'll say my age lol I'm almost 25 hehe :) They are all very pretty though, I just love the way the fabric is on #2. I'm self conscious of my tummy so the way the top part of the dress is put together would help hide some of my tummy lol I know i'm a dork. |
Those are 3 great choices. I would have to go with the one that fit you best. Is there a way you can try all 3 on? Good fit = comfortable bride = confident bride = BEAUTIFUL bride. :D Congratulations, by the way. This is a wonderful time in your life, and I hope you will just relish this time. |
I really like them all, so I'm no help. Congrats, and hope your special day will be fantastic. :) |
I like #3. :) |
I vote for #2 I love the style:) |
I love #2 for style and fabric! Simply elegant and beautiful! Congratulations! :thumbup: |
#2 is my favorite, thought they are all pretty:) Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!:D |
I am 20, and like # 3! |
I like #1. But which ever one you pick...get it fitted by a good seamstress....you'll look FABULOUS! |
I ordered all three, only the first has arrived so far. My first choice always has been number two. I had a cocktail dress with a similar top/waist design and it looked really good on me. This one is being custom made to my measurements. I had some issues with placing the order and am not sure if the company got it. They are not answering emails or the phone right now. My credit card has not been charged yet. As such, I felt the need to have a backup plan. So I ordered the other two. Two can go back, the custom made #2 cannot. Ultimately, I will keep the one that looks and feels the best. Thanks all for your input and keep it coming! |
I like #1 the best. I'm sure you're going to look lovely no matter what you wear. |
I say #2 congratulations! |
I like them all. But, I think #2 is not only elegant, but also interesting and unique. I love the design elements in #2. But, I bet you'll know which one to wear once you try them all on. You can't go wrong here! :D |
I love #1 and 2. If you're heavier and you've got a bit of a belly, then #2 is going to "showcase it", so I'd go with #1. #1 is beautiful, will hide some flaws (if they exist) and can be dyed after the wedding and worn again. Michele :-) |
Congrats!! When is the impending date? All three dresses are beautiful. Since we all have different body shapes it would really depend on your body shape. When you get the dresses could you take pictures of you wearing each of them and post them if your still undecided? If it were me I would go with #1 since I'm more concerned with my middle section since my last child and I think it would camoflauge it better. #2 is lovely but I think it would draw attention to my middle which, as I stated above, I totally try to avoid now days. #3 is lovely as well but wouldn't allow me to hide any of my flaws so I would be selfconscious in it. |
Short lace wedding dress (ordered in white) |
I really like #1... I'm not a big fan of #3, too fitted I think... but thats just me. It could look gorgeous on! #1 is really pretty though, soft, flowy and a little sparkle! Very classy and elegant and pretty and feminine! |
Okay I've seen alot of women call themselves "fat" and they really aren't. So not knowing your size or what you look like I am going to play it safe and say #1 or #3. I think #2 will possibly make you look heavier. |
Congratulations!!! I really like #1. I think it looks feminine and comfortable but I bet you will look beautiful no matter what dress you decide to wear. Be sure and post pics so we can all see!!! |
I like #3 |
YAY YAY YAY Congratulations! I like C. It is traditional and IMO it will be flattering with the right support underneath. I have a friend recently married that was in love with a fitted sweetheart neckline dress and her boobs are a J!!! She had a baby about 9 months before the wedding and planned to lose weight, she did not, and still got to wear her dress. She used SPANX and had a bra made for her to keep those girls down! She was glad she went with the fitted dress, she tried on an a-line dress that would "hide" her problem areas and it looked not as good. More layers and extra fabric made her feel like there was more of her there to hide. Love what you got baby! You will be beautiful no matter what! Pick the dress you like the most and find a seamstress to MAKE IT WORK! I ordered my wedding dress off of Ebay:eek: I know I know, sounds crazy, but I only paid $40 for it and not too much more for the alterations. I am happy as a clam with it and can't wait to take that walk! |
I love #2 - it will be VERY flattering on you. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. :D |
I like #1 and 2 the best, but I was going to suggest what you are already doing and that is trying on all three. I love the tv show "Say yes to the dress" and I'm always amazed how different even the same dress can look on different people and how you really have to buy what looks best on your figure! Congratulations and best of luck!! |
I say #2. It's beautiful and elegant. However, which ever one you feel comfortable and beautiful in is the one for you. Congratulations and good luck. Post pictures of your special so we can enjoy too. |
I like #1 and #2, for some reason I don't like #3 really at all. My really like the design of #2, but I also like the flow of #1. Good luck with whatever you choose and Congratulations on the big day!! I know you will look beautiful! |
So smart to order all 3!:) My favorite is #2. It looks chic and slimming (since ya mentioned weight;)). Love it! Congratulations!!!!:D |
Congratulations!! I pick #1. If it where for me, I know it would hide my flaws, smaller chest and a bit of a tummy. Plus, it has some Sparkle:p. I'm glad you've purchased all three because you just don't know how things will fit you. Donna. (p.s. I am 52) |
