i tried some on on saturday, this was my fav but i think the pic from the front makes me look a bit bigger than i am and obviously i want to feel comfortable. I was alright with it until i saw the pics!

Also, do you think it looks like a prom dress not a wedding dress?

    You'll need to upload it to photobucket etc before you can post it on here

    Like it.....lots.....I think it's a nice shape on you and it does not make you look bigger!

    Might look better without the top layer of organza-tulle on the top of the skirt but that'd be my only criticism

    I'm going to go for honest opinion...please bear in mind it is just one persons opinion, and if you love it, you go for it!
    it looks lovely, but the front does make your bust area look rather large, but from the side it looks fine, so in the flesh, it probably looks better than a 2D photo!
    I love your nail varnish!!

  • I think it looks lovely. Dresses with lots of gathers like that always do make you look a bit bigger but you are lovely and slim anyway. My daughter has a dress with a similar style skirt and it makes her look a bit bigger and she is stick thin.

    I don't think it looks like a prom dress. I looked through lots of photos of the prom my son went to and none of the girls wore a white dress.

    thanks magicboo, that's what i thought. My sister did point out that most people i know will only ever see a photo though!

    I don't normally comment on dresses that people post on here, but I must say I think that you have a lovely figure that isn't flattered at all by the dress, sorry!:o
    From the side it looks fine, but from the front it makes you look wider than I suspect you are. The bodice isn't a good shape for you, it's a "wide" shape and also doesn't flatter your boobs. The skirt is very pretty, though. Hope I haven't offended you, but I think you could find a much more flattering dress!
