Honest Opinion on this Dress

spiderwebs · May 2010

I love this dress, but not sure it's right for my shape! I keep getting mixed reviews. Honest Opinions appreciated!!

I think it's beautiful on your shape. It accentuates your hourglass figure and makes your waist look tiny.

I think it looks very flattering on you.

I think it's stunning on you. It's very flattering and gives you a great shape. FWIW - I like the picture where she pinned it down.

Ok I'll be the downer - I don't care for it. I actually don't think I would like it on anyone - I think it makes your left hip look way bigger than your right.

It looks really good on you!

I don't love it. I think it's tight in the wrong spots. You have a great figure, so you should keep looking!!

I don't like what the diagonal does to your hips. You have a great figure, and I don't think this dress accentuates you like it should.

I agree. I don't really care the gown. The shape is a good one for your body, but not this dress.

I agree with kristen - the shape of the dress isn't flattering - makes your left hip look bigger than your right - but again it's not you - it's the dress. I think you could find something similar elsewhere that may be more flattering.

I have to agree - this dress doesn't have a great shape. The angles are off. You have a fabulous figure but this dress is not flattering - it would not be flattering on anyone.

I think the fact that you are questionning the dress yourself means that it's not for you. You should love your dress and feel great in it!

Too bad you live in Los Angeles - there is a fabulous place here in Massachusetts that has discounted designer wedding gowns - they also have their own designer. I have a similar figure and I found the perfect dress that accentuates my curves.

If you have time - you can order a dress and if you don't like it - ship it back.

They also have it in strapless, which also look great on - http://www.bridepower.com/Liv-Harris/Aline/16327/gd.aspx

Good luck and congratulations!

I'm with all the downers - sorry. You look like you have a beautiful, hour glass shape and this dress isn't really doing it for you. Like a PP said, i'm not sure that I would really like it on anyone! Plus, the fabric looks a bit like curtains.

I actually LOVE this dress on you. I think is accentuates your curves in all the right places. I understand what some of the others are saying about the hips but I don't think it makes them look funny at all. I think if anything it hugs them in the right spots and makes you look sexy. Plus, right now the dress is not laying exactly the way it will once it is all steamed out. However, if you are questioning it then you have to follow your instincts. But, in my opinion I love it on you and so will your hubby to be!
