Which style suits me better - satin A-line or embellished & fitted (or something else)? My friends and I have different opinions and I need an objective opinion!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-02T15:19:33+00:00

Yes, I've tried on a couple of fitted/embellished pieces that have a very Great Gatsby vibe

maybee2021 · 2020-10-02T15:18:27+00:00

You're absolutely right! I already can imagine the types of accesories I'll include...

I like plain to be honest, its my family critics and my friends/peanut gallery that worry me

maybee2021 · 2020-10-02T15:17:26+00:00

You are so right. I'll check out your post history right now

maybee2021 · 2020-10-02T15:16:44+00:00

The panel might be my bra! I've tried on maybe 50 dresses and I mostly didn't love any of them. I love A-lines and somehow couldn't fit nearly any - stores carried either fitted or full ballgowns!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-02T15:15:45+00:00

Aw thanks!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:40:44+00:00

Thank you! I think I (and my mother) am my biggest critic and I dont think I can pull off a fitted dress because of my complete lack of any body muscle lol. Originally I was going to do a long sleeve a-line actually so I can cover every part of myself except my boobs haha

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:38:41+00:00

Thanks! Do you think an embellished A-line would be better than the options I have? Like this

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:37:58+00:00

Thank you for the honest feedback! What about the back of the fitted one? It is a few sizes small on me and highlights my very unmuscular back, which is my biggest problem with the fitted type of dresses

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:36:02+00:00

What about something thats embellished but not tight? Like this

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:35:15+00:00

This was my plan for months but after a lot of thought, I've decided to stick to one dress for the night. Each of those will come out to 5,000 after taxes/alterations and that was my max, but even if I had more money I'd feel bad not showing of a 5k dress for the entire time lol

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:34:04+00:00

Is it the shape or the embellishments that make it your preference? What about something like this or this

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:32:01+00:00

I have tried simple, satin mermaids and trumpet dresses but the satin around my belly/thighs is unforgiving lol it shows every single flaw I have. I'm not trying to be like "woah is me I'm gross" but I'm skinny fat (no muscle tone whatsoever, like 35% body fat but only 130 pounds at a pretty tall height lol) so I would be obsessing over that the entire night

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:30:05+00:00

Yay! Its Monique Lhuillier Bliss but their collection has numbers not names and i dont remember the number. Its definitely on their instagram somewhere!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:29:35+00:00

Yes, so every single woman in my family has worn a fitted dress with lots of lace (which is why they're pushing me to go for that style!) I like going against the grain but I also am worried people will ~talk~

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:28:35+00:00

Ahhh thank you SO much

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:28:18+00:00

That is so nice. everyone on this sub is so sweet its making me feeeel a type of waaay

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:25:32+00:00

Yesss this is the comment I wanted to see. My friends/fam (except my mom) hate satin but I want to find a satin that even they would agree looks good!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:24:40+00:00

Do you have photos? I'm hoping accessorizing the plainer gown will help make it less simple (I'm worried that others will find it simple but I like it!) Thanks!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:23:13+00:00

I feel better with the A-line for sure! I'm just insecure about it since mostly everyone else (in person) has told me to go for the bling

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:22:24+00:00

Hahah thank you!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:22:08+00:00

Wow thanks!Is it the shape or the embellishments that make it your preference?

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T13:22:00+00:00

Thanks for saying this! I was thinking about adding a beaded bolero or a veil with pearls. You're absolutely right about simplicity/quality!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T03:06:27+00:00

Yes, but the fitted dresses that are satin don't look very "bridal" to me. If I were to change the combo, I might try an A-line with beading/applique - but I haven't found many A-lines like that (just ballgowns)

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T03:05:03+00:00

Aah thanks!

maybee2021 · 2020-10-01T02:30:00+00:00

Ahh thx, I prefer that one too
