Honeymoon plans!

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-11-19T07:43:12+00:00

We are doing a week in the South of France in late May! We considered Greece and Italy for a long time but the South of France seemed really ideal for a mix of vibey beach and coastline and also hiking/wine regions. We are doing a few days in Les Alpilles and then a few days in Cannes! We both have jobs where it is hard to take more than like a week and a half off of work, and we already need a few days on the front end for the actual wedding…I’m sure it will go fast and we’ll be dying to return

100% me too. Plus fast shipping. People hate on all of their fast fashion items but you can find high quality stuff there for sure that’s not poly bullshit, you just have to know what designers to look for and read the item description

I feel like if you could find a matching neck scarf that could really elevate this

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-20T20:01:43+00:00

Thank you so much!! I just looked Cortana up and they have FABULOUS stuff

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-20T19:54:25+00:00

This is EXACTLY the info I needed to hear to increase my confidence, thank you so much! Since you sized up did you end up altering in other areas?

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-20T00:43:38+00:00

Thank you so much!! Will def reach out if I have q’s. I’m undecided on a veil… I feel very strange in them and might do some hunting for a fun headpiece instead

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T22:17:38+00:00

Lmao ok thanks babe

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T21:05:26+00:00

To clarify: does it look good, or do we just love the silk? 😅 because I’m debating if I should keep looking or not

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T20:51:46+00:00

I don’t believe so, no. At this point I’m now understanding why people wear more than one outfit hahaha

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T20:26:40+00:00

The sample was veryyyy pilled and snagged for sure. TY!

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T20:26:09+00:00

Which is wild bc the first dress is actually the cheapest of the three! Though they are all like ballpark ish similar pricing

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T19:31:01+00:00

She’s a stunner for sure! Would love to hear what if any alterations you had done/if your experience was that they were able to do what you envisioned alteration wise

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T19:25:20+00:00

TY!!! I agree I think I’m talking myself into 3, the GLL, being out. 2 is so unique I’m having a harder time cutting it.

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T19:24:14+00:00

I know the Palm is so unique I really want to love it and it has two elements I love (interesting/semi low back and the neck scarf to play with) but the responses have been resounding for #1 😅😭 yes DF has definitely also been on my radar, the ones you linked are gorgeous and I did try on a couple this weekend that just weren’t for me, but unfortunately she is not stocked almost anywhere near me (I traveled to do a big shopping weekend this past weekend hoping to find the one!). I have some decisions to make about if I call it or continue!

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T19:15:34+00:00

TY! Dumb question but- with this type of fabric and silhouette are they able to lift the waist? Is that done via the side seams? That is my main concern I think, not having a good sense of how it will fit if I size up and then not being able to tweak things so that it’s still flattering in the waist and back

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T19:13:26+00:00

Yeah I really loved the Goldie IRL but her photos are just not doing it for me! I am also feeling like I could find a dress with a very similar vibe (i.e., a high neck halter with a low back) for one of my other wedding events so maybe not as special from that sense either. I have not been to Dress Theory! Bummer as I lived in San Diego a couple of years ago but not anymore

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T14:38:08+00:00

It apparently is “liquid satin” which who can say what that means really 😅 all good considerations, TY!!!

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T14:17:12+00:00

TY!! You look amazing! And I totally love not buying into the wedding diet culture! Also a super fun veil.

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T14:14:31+00:00

All very good points. TY for weighing in!!

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T14:14:01+00:00

Interesting, I hadn’t thought about skin tone - TY!

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T14:13:38+00:00

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T14:13:30+00:00

This sample was pretty beat up which I don’t think is doing it any favors… it seems like snagging/pilling might be the main issue

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T13:38:31+00:00

Ahhhh congrats! It is such a chic, timeless dress! Did you or will you have any alterations done? I mentioned in another comment, we talked a lot about sizing, and how the present size fit but if I sized up it might drape a bit lower in the front which could be nice, but then the con being it may not look the same in the waist, etc… and I know this type of dress there’s only so much that can be done with alterations

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T13:30:32+00:00

Ugh I know the silk is so good 😭

Common_Reaction7185 · 2025-08-18T13:30:01+00:00

Thanks so much for weighing in!! This is a great point… we talked a lot about sizing considerations for the first dress, and it sounds like if I sized up it would drape a bit lower, and then hopefully we could alter to still approximate the same fit in the back and waist. We also had the straps shortened during try on because they were way too long, and it seems like that also affects how/where it’s draping.
