I've bought this dress!

I'm so excited! I bought this dress online, and it fits perfectly (this model is about 6 foot, I'm about 5 foot 2, so it's more of a tea length on me).

What do you think? Do you think it's 'bridey' enough? I tried on lots of full-on long dresses but this just felt much more 'me'! I'm planning on getting an amazing pair of peep-toe heels and possible a birdcage veil.

Can't wait to wear it now! Would totally recommend this shop, the service was brilliant and what a MSE bargain!

    Wow thats stunning,i couldnt get away with a dress like that as im to short
  • TBH I think it looks better on shorties! It's mid-calf on me and looks a bit more formal than it does on the model. I love it!

    Oh that's lovely...and don't worry about it not being bridey, it's gorgeous. For a start there's a lot of bridal dresses now that are calf length or shorter. I had wobbles about my dress not being bridey - it was full length but a silver/platinum colour and quite simple, no lace or beading. But once you have all your accessories you'll be every inch a bride, just as I felt I was.

    Really,dont tempt me i have my dress already :rotfl: i never thought to try a dress like that on TBH.stunning though and im sure you will look fab in it
  • I love that dress. Its so lovely. Im a shorty at just under 5 foot and I have a full length dress, and the only dresses that give me slight wobbles and dress envy are ones just like yours. It will look stunning with peep toe shoes and a birdcage veil.
  • What a gorgeous dress! Please tell me you're wearing colourful shoes - pillarbox-red peeptoes? :drool:

    Love that dress, I've got a short dress as well I love it even though some people that I know need a bit of convincing (not that I care!!) Can't wait for those people to see it with my shoes, I'm going to take advantage of the dress being short and get some really stand out shoes. I'm going for coloured shoes either pink or blue - both if I can find them :D
