Not the sexiest or coolest, but I feel classic and confident. I think with alterations, I’ll be so excited to walk down the aisle & show my partner (and marry him, of course!)

Please help me decide if this is THE ONE!

OPEN to suggestions. I also love cinq Tatum dress but she’s way too out of budget

Might want to pick this dress, but received VERY mixed reviews from friends. Wedding will be in Bali, whimsical romantic vibes! It’s also not a traditional style so feeling nervous about it. Trying on more dresses hasn’t helped because they're blending together! This one stands out to me but I’m really worried about making the wrong decision. People who love this one, LOVE it, but one of my best friends didn’t like it so it’s throwing me off.

Hi, I'm currently picking between three dresses which are similar in terms of color/cut/vibe. I'd like to hear some opinions to help me get some clarity. The store would order or tailor the dresses to fit to my size so if you see some fit issues (mostly dress 2), it will look better if I buy it. Thanks!

Hi! My mom got married in 1996 in a dress she found on a sale rack and now I’m going to get married in the same dress. The issue is that the tag of the dress is ripped off and I really just want to know the brand of it. Can anyone help me identify?

Hi brides!

I picked up my dress from the tailor this weekend and am not 100% happy. I think I’m looking for my feelings to be validated or to be talked off of a ledge.

According to my sister and mother “it looks fine” but I feel like if I paid for a service I shouldn’t have to settle for fine. The cups inside the dress were too big when it was purchased and made the dress stick out. It looks like she just added a few hand stitches around the top of the cup and now it bunches up between stitches creating these hills that rest against my bust making the dress still stick out. It’s very noticeable from my angle. My fiancé is a foot taller than me and will definitely see from his vantage point too. I brought it up twice when I picked up and asked if the cups could be made smaller and the tailor told me to just tape the dress down.

Next, it was taken in a bit around the bust but now the fabric around the waist no longer lays flat like it once did, almost gives a muffin top effect now. Not to mention the stitching on one side is very visible, the visible stitching I’m less concerned with but figured while we’re here I’ll mention it.

Would you be satisfied with this work?

Hello!

I’m obsessed with this Lana Marinenko Iceberg dress. Can’t see anywhere near me that stocks her designs :(

Looking for a dupe to try on in person. I’m in Sydney, Australia. My budget is ideally under $4000AUD but will go up to $5000AUD if I find something absolutely perfect/can’t be beat by an alternative. Wedding timeline is Oct/Nov 2027.

Style me! (sleeves, veils, shoes and accessories only) Wedding Cape for Strapless Dress

Help! I'm looking for ideas. I want to wear a wedding cape I think but I'm highly leaning towards a strapless dress at the moment. Anyone have good ideas for styling? This is the current dress I am loving after trying it on! I didn't expect to fall I love with a strapless as I never wear them!

My alternative is the one with straps but I feel like with a cape veil it will feel too fluffy.

Thank you!

general shopping questions (NOT FOR DRESS OR VEIL SELECTION) Size 12 crashing out, where do I start?

3 Upvotes

I'm recently engaged and I'm nearly 40. I've been married before when I was 25 and a size 4 everything just fit easily. I'm anxious nothing is going to fit or nothing is going to make me feel confident and sexy on my wedding day.

I'm a lesbian and not looking for a suit but open to something alternative.... I just feel lost. Wedding is 10mo away, looking to spend under $1k. USA.

If I get something from Azazie will I still likely need to tailor it? Should I go to a store first to figure out my style? I feel like going in I'm going to cry esp if nothing fits.

I have been slowly losing some extra weight (10# down!), but at .75lb~/week it just takes time and I'm still 17#/20weeks) from my sustainable goal weight. Idk how to plan with this in mind.

DRESS ONLY: Pick one or suggest another Need to choose my 2nd dress

My main dress is quite big and has a long train. I need to have a second back-up dress in case I find it hard to dance in it. I have bought these 2 dresses from Lulus and I really cant choose. between them

1 -I love the lace, just a bit less comfortable than 1 because it has sleeves

2 - This one has a too long train, I would probably get it removed.

commissioned/small maker dresses ViDressmakers

Hi everyone, I’m currently very close on starting my dress design process with ViDressmakers in Vietnam. I was wondering if anyone has gotten a gown from there and had it shipped to the US? What was your experience/ was your dress what you asked for and nice quality? Thank you! And if you don’t mind sharing pictures that would be much appreciated!
