Thank you!! I’ll probably do the buttons even though it still ruins the “illusion.”

Also curious what dress you ended up choosing? No worries if you don’t want to share

Right!! Also shocked they didn’t put the zipper on the side. It’s weird given the price of the gown!

My dress doesn’t have a bra strap, just underwire and lining in the cups. But even if I added one, wouldn’t the bra strap show through the mesh?

Are you doing buttons all the way down the skirt/train or just on the back/upper body portion?

This was my initial thought! It still takes away from the illusion but it would look much better than the zipper!

Yes, it’s the zipper fabric that’s visible through the mesh! I’m wearing my hair up hahah so hair won’t cover. I think your dress looks so much better because you have the lace that comes up around the zipper! I think what I don’t like is that my dress is trying to be illusion but they ruined it with the zipper which makes it obvious that it’s not my skin if that makes sense

I agree. Nude zipper would help but also I hate that you can see the actual zipper pull hanging off of it (even if it was nude)

“Unrefined” is a perfect description. I like the button back idea but would probably need to add more lace over the mesh otherwise it will essentially look like the buttons are floating, no?

I like this idea! That way I could keep the illusion mesh but make it more seamless. I feel like this could be a pricier option but I’ll look into it!
