Dw Dress...follow The Rules?

[KAT2015]

 

I agree!  Pick the dress you want, that makes you feel good and that you want to wear.  The dress I got would not work at many venues, but perfect for a DW in Mexico!  My fiance has always wanted me to wear a backless dress and what better time than our wedding!  This is my dress (minus the strap in the back)....

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOVE that dress.  I had hoped to do a backless dress as well, but I realized quite quickly that a) they are hard to find in Calgary in my price range and most are sheath which don't necessarily flatter my body!

 

Jealous!

Ugh - I'm going to go to sleep fantasizing about your dress @@Sabes44 (is that weird...haha?) I was trying to save money in the dress category (under $1,000) but I may need to reconsider now!

 

I hope you had good dreams about the dress @becky98.  Honestly I never thought I would spend more than $1,000 on a dress but once I saw this one, I knew it was it (before even trying it on!).  There are site's where girls resell their dresses after their wedding.  I saw a few Katie May's on there too, might be an option for a lower price point!

I agree with all of you, pick the dress you love, not what people think you should wear! Everyone showed me typical DW wedding dresses and they were so not me! I wanted ruffles and a dro waist! I ended up with a gorgeous dress that I love that I am slightly terrified about dragging a mountain of sand behind me, but whatever. I'm an allure girl as well, dress is in the link!

Has anyone ever done any major alterations to their dresses? Anything like changing the shape in the front to changing the style in the back? I love my dress just wondering if I should do anything else to it to make pop even more. Love the idea of a more open back! Not sure if it's a good idea to do any major changes to a dress

 You could talk to a seamstress. I'm changing my back from a zipper and tiny little buttons to a corset. i'm sad to see the buttons go because they look really cute but I like corset backs too. I want to see if I can get anyone who does the corset with the eyelets rather than the loops. I think it looks nicer and the chances of one of those loops coming out when under all that pressure is lower. Who knows, I guess it depends how much the price difference between the two is. I know you can alter the shape of your strapless neckline as well, say from a straight strapless to sweetheart or something like that or add little cap sleeves, etc.

I too started with the chiffon flowing but it wasn't my style. Instead I fell in love with a Maggie Sottero Dress... I'm going with beach elegance. I love it and although it's not a typical beach dress, I think it will perfect for us. Good luck ladies. attachment=29266:ImageUploadedByTapatalk1409428176.623289.jpg]

@@TinkerSofi I'm guessing this types of changes wouldn't be like a typical bridal shop alteration and I would have to look for a seamstress elsewhere? That sounds lovely what you will be doing to your dress!

I'm sure any bridal store or seamstress could do a corset.
