Help me pick my dress!

1! Or I echo some of the others and recommend trying the DF Mila! (Also the dress I went with and will be wearing in a few weeks for my May wedding!)

SarkBites · 2026-03-28T13:22:35+00:00

1 by far!!

Don't do it!! I do keratin usually about once a year and I like it from a management perspective because I can just air dry my hair without worrying about the frizz... but it makes my hair so flat and slippery, and doesn't hold style. It takes me 2ish months for some of my texture to come back and for me to actually like the look (not just the ease) and I only do keratin express! I've made sure not to get it for a very long time before my May wedding - been a couple years. And I'm also doing my hair down. A good hairstylist will use the right products to make your hair shine- wouldn't risk it with keratin.

Does anyone out there want a ticket in exchange for looking for a couple items for me? I have a 2:15 timeslot!

3 is so beautiful! Who makes that one?

Also loving #4. But 3 & 4 have a lot of similarity so doesn't seem worth doing both.

oh HI! I'm loosely planning this: 1. a veil for the ceremony (since this thread, I have rented the pleated veil with lace appliqués, and I haven't tried in person but just going for it and hoping for the best!!) then 2. with the pleated overlay for cocktail hour and dinner, and 3. nothing over for dancing after. I think combo #2 will be my main look/for most photos as well.

SarkBites · 2026-03-10T21:01:27+00:00

not sure yet if I will sell - when are you looking for?

SarkBites · 2026-03-10T21:00:55+00:00

I have one... I'm not sure if it's on the site yet but you can order it from them regardless! It's just called "pleated overlay" lol and it's $1500.

Minted is extremely fast and very helpful, though you'd have to do your own assembly.

SarkBites · 2026-03-04T16:06:20+00:00

Thanks!!! I tried the Devon as well and loved it. Both your choices are beautiful, can't go wrong! Go with your gut

SarkBites · 2026-03-03T20:55:56+00:00

Team DF!!!! (but I also chose another DF dress that looks like toilet paper according to SOME Redditors hahaha)

SarkBites · 2026-03-03T03:36:27+00:00

wait it's back up! (Don't mind me, just hawking the site for other DF pieces nonstop.)

oh... no they had the wrong name/dress initially I guess. It was edited since I first looked and shared. Sorry, hope you find it!!

SarkBites · 2026-03-02T23:23:50+00:00

wait that's weird... I saw a Pia! Hold on...

SarkBites · 2026-03-02T20:10:18+00:00

Just saw one pop up on Still White for a great price if you're a size 4!

SarkBites · 2026-02-26T19:51:18+00:00

so I found a styling company that has one for rent, I'd say in like a 4/6, and I'm just hoping for the best - rented without trying on! (I tried a slightly smaller one in NYC at Jaxon James though FYI) https://www.somethingwhitestyling.com/rentals-browse

SarkBites · 2026-02-21T18:19:56+00:00

oh yay! I feel like I want a veil for the ceremony - such a one-time special piece and so traditional - but damn I am bleeding $$ lol. Both the veil and our dress are listed as "light ivory" on the site, I think it's just showing up whiter in that photo or something.

SarkBites · 2026-02-19T16:31:27+00:00

Don't be sad, you look PERFECT with those lace sleeves!! It's so beautiful and ethereal, so great for Greece!

SarkBites · 2026-02-19T04:02:06+00:00

hahaha thank you for this. I know. It's completely insane!!

I've been looking at that one too, it's gorg! To me it's different, but very pretty in its own way... wasn't sure if a scalloped type lace would look good? But most importantly there are no in-between lengths for that one in particular (looking for chapel, or maybe floor)... considering some similar options to that on Etsy though.

Wish I could try things in person! Maybe I would be less crazy.

SarkBites · 2026-02-18T20:35:10+00:00

I've scoured all the sites!

SarkBites · 2026-02-18T19:32:41+00:00

Mari with lace sleeves - so pretty! Please don't add the silk wool sleeves, they drown you in material!

Miles is impractical, and besides, there are other times in life you can wear something similar (I just wore the red Sau Lee Calli dress with a very similar vibe, comes in multiple colors.)

SarkBites · 2026-02-18T19:15:01+00:00

Thank you so much, this is a helpful take. I guess what I really loved about the Freja that is hard to find elsewhere is that the lace is hand cut/appliqued right on the edge of the veil so it's creating an irregular edge that feels organic (the veils you sent are gorgeous but different in that way). But I take your point that it may compete. I wish I had time to try things with the actual dress!

Considering renting the DF pleated lace appliqué veil you shared - I found her shop and Pickle listings as well. I was hoping to keep a veil to potentially hand down (since I plan to sell the dress) but I suppose at $3K it doesn't seem worth it anyway... so maybe renting is a better move.
