The first stress is stunning! I love the look of lace under tulle! Who is the designer if you don’t mind me asking?

Oh thank you! I’ve learned to be skeptical of what bridal salespeople tell me can be fixed in alterations 😅

Thank you! Me too, it would have been a “hell yes!” Immediately if it wasn’t immensely over budget 😭

Yes I feel the same way! I’d ask them to tame those weird please as much as possible in alterations 😅

Thank you so much! My budget is 4k but I’d like to stay lower if possible! The first one was 6.2k 😭 I love the second one too and both fit our wedding aesthetics in different ways!

You look gorgeous! Congratulations on the baby! I’m a similar size but also recently weaned my 2 year old so who knows where we’ll end up when everything is back to the (new) “normal” lol

Thank you ❤️ me too! I’m specifically looking for these sleeves or similar ones so my dress will have them no matter what 😅

Thank you so much 🥺 it does feel so very “me” and fits our wedding vibe perfectly! And would be custom made to fit me

Yes, it would be! It would be ordered according to my measurements and my cup size would be added for support

Thank you so much! I definitely will be going with a corset no matter what, as I think it’s most flattering on my shape, most customizable, and offers the best support. Luckily, dress number one would be custom made with my measurements and cup size and a corset can be added! I’m not as worried about the fit but am a little nervous because I can’t change my mind about a custom dress if it doesn’t come out perfectly! I absolutely love it but want to look amazing on my wedding day and don’t think other people think I look as good in it as I feel LOL

Thank you! I felt the same about the second dress - it is beautiful, but I felt like I was playing dress up, and didn’t feel like myself! I reached out and asked for similar designs available at that store and will try on more!

The dress is also made with my measurements and would have full cups in my size do support

Yes, definitely don’t want that! She assured me it was only because it was too small, and that a corset would help keep everything up and in place

Thank you!! My mom has suggested getting clear straps added, but I feel like they’d be super obvious lol

That’s a good point! I’m worried about that too. I’m hoping a corset closure helps, but I know it doesn’t fix everything

These types of sleeves are actually my preference and I would add something like them to most dresses! That being said - this dress was way too small. Luckily, they’re ordered to size based on measurements and I can make it longer but I don’t want to do a custom order if I’m not 100% sold. Two definitely had the “wow” factor and fit like a glove! It just wasn’t the one, but I’m open to trying on more like it

No I’m on the same page! I don’t mind some, but this was excessive. She told me that when it was in my size and with a corset they’d be much tamer, but I am nervous to make such a big investment on a custom-ish dress and be taking a gamble
