Its cream covered all over in black lace and absolutely gorgeous.Do you think it looks fancy enough to be a wedding dress and what could I wear with it to make it a complete outfit?

I like it, but I personally would prefer a smaller pattern in the lace, so it's not quite so black......would be lovely with ivory lace over the background....and I love the style.0

I think it would make a great dress, it's not really to my taste but I'm not you! How about a black or cream fascinator and a cream wrap to go with it?Got married 23rd May 2009, many thanks to all on the Weddings and Anniversaries board for their help and support!

Stunning and very dramatic so you'd need to be just as dramatic with flowers.0

I think it's brilliant, really different, bet no one else would have a dress like that. Agree with previous posters, a nice wrap and some killer shoes and you'll be well away

I'm sorry but I don't like it at all for a wedding dress. For a funeral or a night out/dinner perhaps.
But to get married in black, a bit depressing? You know the saying, get married in black you'll wish yourself back.

I'm getting married in allll black and gothic attire which will consist of a leather corset, velvet skirt with a huge split up the side and leggings underneath and New Rock boots. We're goths so we would only get married in black! We dont think it's depressing atall, just our favourite colour.Some people feel the rain...others just get wet0 -

I like it but not for a wedding dress. What happened to the purple one you were going to have? Or have I got the wrong person?!0

Wow! Love that dress! I think it would look stunning so if you love it too then go for it - If you feel good you will look good

I'd go with the other posters in pairing it with a simple wrap and some heels.
