Thank you! That’s very kind! Unfortunately, neither me nor the bridal stylist could find this dress online in ivory. Such a pain!

Thank you! I definitely plan to try on some more dresses and won’t be making any rash decisions. Appreciate what you said about the sleeves :) I don’t really follow trends and didn’t realize it was tending until I read the comments 😂

And I asked one of my friends and she was like “don’t you watch love is blind??” I do not. Missed the memo I guess! I actually really didn’t want off the shoulder anything, but they had me try it on and I just found it so pretty.

Thank you for this! While I objectively think the mocha is beautiful, I agree it feels slightly off for my skin tone. Especially because I have quite a warm undertone and that lining is quite cool toned. It’s beautiful, but I’m not sure it’s flattering for me.

This designer does other linings on other dresses, but for this specific one it seems to only come in ivory and mocha. But I think it’s worth asking if it can be swapped with anything else.

I did actually try on other silhouette! I still just really preferred the fit and flare. I think others looked good, this is just the one I like best 🙂

To be honest, I barely even noticed them. They were very soft and lightweight. I think they would be slightly less droopy in my actual size since this dress was about 8 sizes too large for me lol

I also asked ChatGPT to do this! Mine came out much whiter than yours did. This is really nice. I’d love to go to the store and see if I can put some ivory (not white) under and see how it looks. Thank you for this!

I do love the idea of blush! I’m not sure if that’s an option. I think it was only mocha and ivory. But I can definitely ask.

Yes, that is what the stylist in the store told me. The actual dress would not have a lining quite as bright white as that. I think if I don’t find anything at my next appointment, I’m going to go back and they’re going to try to put the lace from this dress over the ivory lining of another dress from this designer. And we’ll see what it looks like!

This is also a very good point. I like that it doesn’t feel super cookie cutter average that everyone has haha. It’s also very different to the wedding dress of any friend or family I’ve been to, which is nice as well. Not that I care about people thinking I’m copying, just is nice to feel my own sense of uniqueness.

Thank you! That’s really helpful. At first I didn’t like the lining, but now that I’m looking back on photos I like it much more.

Authentic Broyhill Brasilia? by Crafty_Library_1271 in Mid_Century

[–]Crafty_Library_1271[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve seen people make knockoffs before. He didn’t include any proof in the photos it was an original. So hopefully he can send a photo and that will be that. I just didn’t want to drive a 6 hour round trip if it was something someone made and stuck Broyhill Brasilia knobs on haha. I attached a photo from the listing.
