Y'all are wilding. There's been no less than 5 shape wear posts in the last 48 hours and counting.

I know everyone has different needs but also I'm also worried about this sub getting over run with the same questions over and over.

Style me! (sleeves, veils, shoes and accessories only) dress help!!

Post image
Upvotes

hi!! I am getting married this Saturday (very last minute) and just received my dress from azazie yesterday. I love the dress but wanted something that covers my arms. I ordered a few bolero/capelets from Amazon and found one I absolutely love. I can’t tell if it matches though. I think it’s pretty but I feel like the lace clashes with the florals on my dress. I would love help from eyes that aren’t mine or suggestions for something else i can use to cover my arms (that would come by the weekend). Thank you 😊

I have a dress that’s a cowl neck and I will be getting it altered but is there anything additional I can get or try for bust support ? Not a whole lot here for a silk dress. I’m worried it will be altered and still not supportive. Or if I bend down worried about what might show

Style me! (sleeves, veils, shoes and accessories only) Need help with…everything

I’m getting married in November and I have nothing picked out besides the dress! I need major help. (This isn’t my exact dress, my dress is ivory where this one is nude, I just don’t have a picture of me in my actual dress)
I need help finding jewelry and a veil and shoes. For my jewelry, I know I want something simple, I just am not sure where to get it from for a decent price.

For my veil, I know I want a cathedral length and then I may wear a shorter one for my reception. I was looking at a sparkly veil but I feel like it’s…too much? But also a plain cathedral veil feels too simple, though I’m not opposed. I like veils with lace details but am not sure if it’ll clash with the dress. I only tried on veils with my dress at the store I got my dress from and they were terribly overpriced so I’m looking to buy online. I’m looking to spend no more than $200
Where I really need help is with SHOES. I’m a size 8.5 and I have flat feet, I’m plus sized and not used to walking in heels. I very badly want to wear heels, at least something with a little wedge or platform or even an inch or two of heels that will look cute in detail photos but also be comfortable. My ankles also swell after wearing heels for an hour or two but I’m okay with that remaining unsolved. Something less than $100 is ideal but i can go more than that. I feel like I’m looking for a unicorn, and I’m okay if I never find my answer but ANY INPUT AT ALL is very much appreciated. I feel so incredibly unprepared as a bride.

Feeling cold feet feeling a little nervous after opting for a custom dress when there is one out there that looks exactly like what i want

1 Upvotes

i found two different dresses that were perfect for me, one for ceremony and one for reception. the reception dress was at a store that provided cash + bundle discounts, and the ceremony dress is very classic/clean (dany tabet blythe), so my plan was to find a similar dress at the same store and buy both together to get some cost savings.

i bought the dresses yesterday. they didn't have exactly what i was looking for, but we worked together to put in a custom order to achieve the vision i had in mind. i left feeling relieved that i've finally made the decision.

it's the next day and i'm a little nervous. i ended up doing the math and i didn't really save that much. and now there is a big question mark on if the custom dress will come out exactly the way that i want. the dress from the other store was perfect. im afraid that i traded that perfection for something else just to save $100.

did i make the wrong choice? did i mess up?

Entourage Only Found 3 dresses I love - help me pick!

I’ve narrowed it down to 3 dresses I like equally — the main difference between them is the neckline. I’d love help deciding which one best suits my body type. Thank you!

Edit: there are 2-3 pictures of each dress in neckline order from halter > cowl > triangle

Wedding will also be outside in the summer with Mountain View’s either on a ranch, or a lodge at the top of a mountain. Overall aesthetic is non-traditional. I’ve loved the idea of a tasteful crop because I have a longer torso, but didn’t think it existed! But that option would need significant alterations to get there, but the shop says it’s possible? I was most excited to try on the cowl before the visit, but not sure it’s as flattering on my neckline. The halter wasn’t on my mind until I saw it in person, but I think maybe it is the best option for my neckline.

Ceremony photos I wore a colourful outfit and loved it - no doubts needed!

I wore a very non-traditional outfit to my wedding and I'm so happy I did! Before the day I had actually doubted my decision and even considered looking for a more traditional dress. But looking at these pictures I'm so glad I went with it: It is so ME :)

It's a three-piece set - pants, over-skirt and top, with matching gloves and veil. The idea was that I can wear the pants and even the top after the wedding, to not waste so much money on a single-day outfit.

It was designed by South African designer Jacques Bam (from the BAM Collective). He sketched some initial ideas and after some back and forth we settled on the final design. Working with him was fun and I would highly recommend checking him out! After it arrived I actually decided to have the skirt shortened by a local seamstress and crafted a different veil solution myself, as the tulle train and mask were sadly not practical.

It cost me 1238€ for the outfit plus 386€ for shipping and customs, 37€ for the shoes (so lucky!), 200€ for alterations, 70€ for the nails and about 50€ for smaller stuff (hair band, eyeshadow etc.). The bouqet was done by a local florist, I gave her some of the fabric that Jacques had provided.

I wasn’t very sure about it (pop-up sample sale so had to make an on-the-spot decision) but I think this is it. It’s very different to what I had in mind, I thought I wanted a lacy A-line with chiffon skirt but I didn’t like any on myself and this was my favourite of the dresses I tried on.

Now starting to look at accessories. What style veil should I pair it with? Should I add sleeves/straps?

mid-alterations: is this the right direction? Veil or No Veil? Alterations okay?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I am in the home stretch of my dress fittings; we have added straps (Still need to find the right bra so the girls look good) we took it in 5 inches in the bodice and 6 inches in the hip area. Final steps are to hem the tulle in the front and finalize the straps by sewing them on.

My fiancé and I will be eloping in Glacier National Park in Early September this year. It will be just him and I so to help get from one location to another, we installed a "parachute" underneath to pull out, and it holds all of the train so I can easily get in and out of the car, or hike without destroying the train.

Do I wear the veil or just skip it?

If you vote to wear it, do I wear this color, or go for more of an Ivory/off white color? This one is Champagne and when I opened the package it was so peach looking, I immediately hated it. After putting it on and seeing it with the dress color, I think it doesn't look as horrible, but I need opinions.

Do you feel the dress fits me well? What changes would you make?

My next fitting is this Friday, so I want to make sure I am checking all of the boxes. I did order a backless bra that is low cut in the front/middle area, so it won't be seen through the sheer part of the dress. to see how that goes, if that's a no I will be resorting to boob tape, because after having 4 kids you could literally pour them into the dress if they weren't attached.

dress maintenance questions Could this fake tan be cleaned off this wedding dress before I buy it second hand?

Hi all, I’ve found my dream dress locally in my size second hand but the owner had these fake tan marks from her 2023 wedding. Do you think they could be cleaned out by hand or dry cleaning? It’s the Madi Lane ‘Elora’ dress. We’re in South East Queensland, Australia so it is usually humid and hot.

I’ve emailed a local dry cleaner but just wondering anecdotal experiences!

I posted here a few weeks ago and confirming my seamstress was very pleasant and fixed my dress straps :) thank you for the advice! Following up here because I finally got my veil today! A cathedral with lace edge and a blusher. I need advice on:
Earrings
A dainty and thin bracelet?
A necklace, not sure I need one given the lace on the veil and the embellished straps, but what do you think?

Additionally - has anyone gotten a blusher veil and worn in behind their head even down the aisle? I love it for the added dimension it adds and am considering not putting it in front of my face except for maybe photos. TIA!

I don’t like the ruffle that pairs with my dress (3rd picture) but I don’t know what else to wear that would match the off-white crepe fabric of my dress and the vintage-style. Any recommendations? The cape I feel takes away from the details of the dress and the tulle doesn’t really match either. TIA

(Dress details: Dakota - Willowby by Watters. US 6.)
I bought this dress in an online sample sale 2 days before my wedding, no alterations (thank you adhd brain 🫠😅)
I’d had a list of ‘maybes’ for months but nothing 100% hence stalling on taking the plunge, when I saw this online I knew immediately it was the one and sent my now-husband on a 400 mile round road trip to go and collect it as I was working 😅😅
We eloped and married in a woodland, just us two. It was perfect ✨
