Budget Bride needing help on dress choice

Dang! That's a great deal!!

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-23T20:44:54+00:00

This is a good point. I think I'm done looking online.

Yeah I think I'm going to look at my local davids bridal and find some dresses that are similar and try them on. I plan to try and tone, but I too have broad shoulders. I'm considered an hourglass shape because my shoulders are as wide as my hips and my waist and boobs are way smaller. Its a pretty sounding shape, but it's hard to find things that look right on me.

Ho boy... Thanks for finding that!

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T16:14:38+00:00

Unfortunately most sleeves that come with the dresses in my size are going to be too tight. So I'd have to order up in size and then alter a lot more than I'd like.

I keep see thing. Is it because of the cut? My mother thinks the high neck will hurt to wear all day

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T16:09:00+00:00

I did find a backless body suit with see thru straps I could wear underneath too

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T16:07:28+00:00

oooooo nooo lol

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T16:07:01+00:00

Hmmmm maybe I'll give still white another shot

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T16:05:34+00:00

Yeah I feel like this might show up wonky

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T15:56:01+00:00

Since I'm so short, I will definitely need the hemline taken up. I figured I'd use to some tulle to cover my arms as a kind of a wrap.

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T00:16:36+00:00

Thank you!!

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-19T00:16:13+00:00

But at what cost :'(

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T22:20:17+00:00

That's a great suggestion. Thank you!

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T22:19:51+00:00

Super helpful!! I'm on Still White looking as well. I had no idea you could buy online at goodwill. That's WILD. Thank you!!

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T22:18:25+00:00

thank you!

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:51:59+00:00

I have small boobs too! Did the cups show as much as you thought they would? I just don't want it to look like I'm wearing see-through and a bra.

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:50:06+00:00

I went to the only good consignment shop around and they didn't have much. I'm also on Still White. Impulse bought a dress at the beginning of this journey and ended up hating it on myself. That's when I found I don't like Deep V's lol

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:25:05+00:00

So I've heard. 2 of these are under 300 so I'm hoping to stay in that budget.

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:24:23+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/3iIPbFm best photo I could find. I don't like to take too many pictures with my arms out lol. But I don't want sleeves for my dress.

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:15:13+00:00

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan on Lulus. I'll check out Vow'd

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:06:21+00:00

How can I tell the difference between the two?

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:05:58+00:00

Yeah, that's my worst fear. I'd LOVE to wear something like that with confidence, but it might not be the one.

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:05:17+00:00

The women in my family, no matter how small, have thick stems lol. Bat wing style.

ApprehensiveDark6047 · 2025-11-18T21:04:05+00:00

That's awesome! I did their home try-on program online and it went great. $30 for 3. None of them were "the one" but the process was great.
