opinion on dress if you've got a mo, thanks

MrsTinks

Ok... bluntly honest? I don't think the big fluffy skirt suits short wedding dresses... And the shape doesn't compliment you particularly well and if you have ANY doubt about a dress then don't let it "make do" because you can't change your wedding pitures!
Keep looking! and maybe look for a slightly less full skirt?
Is there a particular reason for the kneelength dress for the wedding? Call me old fashioned (or whatever you like...) but I think that "style" looks like a dress for a 16 year old... (OMG I'm only 30! honest!)
If you want a waist... go for a nice corsetted dress they can perform minor miracles! (Mine did!)

Be a little brave and go in and say "I have a style in mind, but I'd like it if you could try a few dresses that YOU think might suit my shape?" - I walked in wanting a very medieval style dress, not strapless, very straight and NO underskirt and NO - absolutely NO bling or beading or stuff...

Yup - I REALLY stuck to that! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3432972&l=9664cf92d8&id=740875462
(there is a LOT of beading detail on the back too btw lol)

thanks Mrs tyne!

I want a short dress because i want to look NOTHING like i did first time round, and I really love the vintage look. The more short dresses i see, the more i love them.

The reason i like them puffy is because they're so girly and fun looking. I tried on others and they didn't give me the same buzz really.

Yes! That one on the right with the pink underskirt would be gorgeous on you - show off the bust & nip in the waist! :T

Almost makes me want to change my decade of inspiration from 30s to 50s...

EDIT: replying to post 20, BTW - clearly I took far too long to respond, was too busy looking at pretty dresses...

LOL fair enough! In that case I think rockabilly is the way forward. Think underskirt under a skirt in the same material as the top part of the dress - that will make it look more vintage

I know this is a little longer but you could have one made a little shorter? http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/08/07/real-wedding-in-a-stephanie-james-dress/

Gorgeous. However I think that you do need an Audrey Hepburn-esque figure to carry that style off well. Big busts don't tend to look quite right in them, IMO. I say this as a big-busted sister of an Audrey Hepburn-shaped person!

hi! I think that if you don't feel 100% fabulous in the dress or in pictures then its not the one! The perfect dress for you will be out there and when u find it you will feel totally fantastic and in the flesh and in photographs! xxx
