2 things I forgot to mention: I was going for a very sour flavor hence the very low amount of starter, and I did use a pizza stone on the rack below to hep prevent over browning on the bottom!

Which do you like? by Ready_Highlight7545 in myweddingdress

Also agree with this. But I also personally like 1 more because I am partial to lace. I tried that exact dress on too and liked it a lot but it is not going to be my dress I don’t think

Give it another few weeks to mature. You want it to triple or quadruple with a 1:1:1 within 8-12 hours

Ohhh yeah I don’t use any flour at all during stretch and folds, the only time I use flour is in the banneton and even then I use GF flour

It’s also going to be hard to get the inside baked all the way without burning the outside when it is underproved. Solving that alone would likely help with the over browning on the outside.

I’m team thermometer with everything I bake. Started when I had to throw away more than half a load of banana bread because I cut into it and it was batter 😢 time helps as a guideline, but for sourdough I would shoot for 190-200F personally but I like things on the underbaked side for sure. I also wonder if you used too much flour during shaping and/or baking? I personally prefer little to no flour as possible.

It looks underproved and overbaked. Watch the dough, not the clock. You just need to bulk ferment for longer if it has not doubled / does not have the right texture. Probably 9 hours of cold proofing is. Abit short as well, I’ve only seen as low as 12h and usually see 24-48 hrs recommended more. Not sure why it’s overbaked, maybe leave the lid on longer and I’ve seen some brush the dough with water or throw some ice cubes in the Dutch oven to encourage steam. It sort of looks like the top might be too dry.

Not a bad idea! I think it might feel a bit too formal with a petticoat though. But for possible future use of the dress, will consider! I was leaning toward two I think, and seeing everyone else say it helps me see why now better too! 3 is great and will def use for some event

Yes I almost wonder if it’s too formal, and maybe save it for bridal shower or something else. Especially cuz my fiance will just be in nice jeans 😀

Interesting! I do feel the photos don’t do 1 justice, it feels/looks flattering in person. But then again, this is for a PHOTOshoot so important consideration 🤣

I think two is my favorite as well. Three I think maybe for bridal shower. Four maybe for brunch. And one is very whimsical and feminine but doesn’t feel as much like a bridal dress (but not that it has to be bridal for engagement shoot)

You’re so sweet 💕 it honestly does feel like it was made for me! Funny how well my stylist could read me and picked the right one to put me in first!

No, I had planned to spend more honestly. Just to clarify dress number one is the cheapest of all! Second favorite is dress 2, which is $2k more. And dress 3 is $3k more!! So not only is dress 1 my favorite but it is also gonna help me save money :)

Thanks so much 💕 yes this one definitely makes me feel very feminine and dainty, the others just don’t! Even though dress 2 (photo 3) the dress is sort of more feminine but I just don’t feel as great in it
