Is/did anyone here choose a mermaid or trumphet shaped gown? I just saw a repeat of Say Yes to the Dress yesterday from last year where a curvy bride fell in love with an purchased a Lazaro trumphet shaped dress that Randy thought was a mistake.

First of all...if anyone knows where I can find that dress...or a good copy....please let me know. I liked the way she looked in it. Second....has anyone here chosen a mermaid/trumphet shaped gown to wear? I know that many think it is risky on a larger bride.

Personally...I want to be sexy and shapely....I thought that a trumphet gown might be a good compromise. Thanks.

bottom line: i think if you try one on and feel beautiful in it, then no one else's opinion (not even the experts') matters.

i LOVE trumpet style above all others, but with my personal body shape (very bottom heavy) i would have felt self-conscious and fat, not curvy and sexy. so despite loving the style, for me it was out. "curvy" means different things for all of us tho. if your weight is more evenly distributed, or if curvy just means big-busted for you, then go for it!

and i say try on at least one in that style regardless of what anyone says! i was pleasantly surprised at how i looked in some things that even *i* hated on the hanger or thought would be disasterous on me. good luck!

classadiva - I completely agree with Lisa (cougs). Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful! I saw the episode of Say Yes to the Dress also and I thought "good for you girl!!". She got what she wanted and felt fabulous in her dress! That's what we all should feel like!
