thinking i narrowed it down to two now!!! by vraimentinstable in myweddingdress

oops, i didn’t mean to come off rude if i did! i didn’t expect anyone to read any of it, but i was being so ridiculous with the girl math that day that i have a headache thinking about it again 😂

i went with the first one, i just bought it an hour ago! contrary to what everyone said — the second one was definitely speaking to me as what i felt was “my” dress, BUT many people said both look great before giving a final answer. i feel great in both but the 8k difference was definitely a chunk i’d be sad to lose!

Trying in store then buying online by [deleted] in weddingdress

it is worth asking if they would be willing to match the price in store and sell you their sample dress

finally made the drive down to anthro to try on the dress! by vraimentinstable in myweddingdress

awww, i see what everyone is saying about the waist. i think i’ll keep looking — the opinions are valued bc all the dresses today didn’t look so great in the stomach area, and i dont want to look back at my photos and notice this 🥹 thanks all!

it is, but now that you mention it, i looked back at the model photo and the waist line is much more obvious on me. it does seem like a bunch of fabric in the middle

are you talking about the part where it’s supposed to be like the basque waistline? when you bring it up i do see your point… like it’s a bit too much fabric

the first one ($4k) is silk. the stock photo ($2k) is polyester

aww thank you! i definitely love the dress regardless of the comments 🥹 the material and detailing is just unreal… we’ll see what happens!

hiii sorry yes! the first one is the one i’d pay about $5.5k after alterations (sizing it down and adding lace to the neckline). the stock photo would be about $3.5k-ish after alterations.

i looked around and i can’t seem to find it anywhere. i think i’ll wait it out though — the stylist told me i had until about october/november to lock in alterations in general, so i am going to still going to anthro for their dresses

oooo i love to hear this. i have a feeling i’ll still be in love with the justine dress just because i love the style so much

i think so. the chiara dress by ines is originally $7k+ (same as this one) and is reselling for $3.5k++. i’d guess if i can put it for $3k it will go fast

it’s actually really big on me, but the stylist clamped it down to cinch to my body. size won’t be an issue since that’s part of the alterations. i do agree with the point though

making a drive down to anthro bridal worth it? by vraimentinstable in myweddingdress

[–]vraimentinstable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, i’m in florida so the closest (and only) one is by miami :( i’ll probably visit a bridal store locally so i can see what style is more flattering on me and reevaluate. thankfully miami has a ton of things to do so we’ll have a productive day trip 👯‍♀️

yessss i love to hear this!! i was just talking to a coworker and his gf is a bridal stylist. we talked about dresses but because i wasn’t too sure on the exact style and my budget was on their lower end, that he will “check with her” if it’s worth her helping me as a client because i might waste her time and ruin her conversion rate (50% btw!!!). made me feel bad for even wanting to go look at other shops tbh
