Dress jitters!!

mfowler4 · March 2012

okay so i just bought my dress about 2 weeks ago.... I had originally wanted a ballgown or a-line type dress because i have some curves/hips.. i am very insecure about them

so i wanted to hide them. soo i went to Davids Bridal and I tried on various dresses from the rack that I liked, and even liked a couple on me.. but i was not getting the "this is it" feeling.. so my consultant wanted to pick out a dress for me that she thought i would good in. She said she wanted me to try on a mermaid dress because i have curves and hips... i did not want to show off my hips because i am insure about them soooo reluctantly i agreed anyways. I thought, well whats the worse that could happen? Well, i tried the dress on and i looked at myself in the mirror and could not stop smiling! I LOVED it!! For the first time in my life I felt as though my body actually looked good! My friends with my loved it as well, more than the others i tried on. SO i purchased it.. it was even $200 under budget!

But now I am second guessing.. im so insecure about my hips and i dont want people to think i look fat in this dress...

tell me what you think!!

I think the dress is very flattering on you and you look beautiful. I think that dress wouldn't right on someone who didn't have hips. Flaunt it, you look amazing!! I love the uniqueness of the bottom and side, I think you made a great choice!

I have curves too and I think you look great. Thats one great thing about having curves is that we can wear dresses like that and look good doing it. You don't have anything to be insecure about I think you look great

Let me just say I'm completely jealous. Seriously. I wanted this type of dress but since I'm built like a tree (straight up and down) it looked absolutely horrible on me. The sales consultant couldn't clip the hips in enough to make me have curves.

You look fabulous in that dress. I'd put my mind at ease if I were you. I'd kill for some curves. lol

Hi Christine, I sent you a private message:)

OP - I think the dress looks fantasic on you. I actually tried that same dress on but didn't really like the fit on me. But I think your hips actually make the dress look better:) Beautiful!

Wow, you look gorgeous! You have absolutely nothing to be insecure about!!

Beautiful, and I rarely like that style of dress on the women who post them. The last thing I woulkd have ever thought was fat. Curves are beautiful.

You're hips DO NOT look wide at all. You look perfectly proportional. Many women would kill for that shape so rock it. That's one of the very few DB gowns I like and you look fantastic in it!
