W Dress PIP (redo)

perkyperkins83 · May 2010

I found my princess dress. PLEASE tell me your opinion! I am very conscious of my arms and all my BM says that I dont need a wrap or anything. But is MY pictures. So I hate my arms and dont know if I shoud get a wrap or something at least for the ceremony. BUT my dress is kinda heavy and the ceremony is outside. So I guess its a lose lose. Please help! (IF ITS REALLY BAD PLEASE TELL ME!!!!)

TIA!

I think you look great, and a wrap would take away from you and your dress.

I think it's a beautiful dress! It's a good shape for you. I don't think it's too heavy for an outside wedding in October (depending on location... might be too much for a beach), but the V-neck makes it seem heavier on top, I think. I almost feel like a strapless dress would de-emphasize your neck/shoulder/arm area, or at least open it up, and I think that would be more flattering on you and look lighter in pictures. If you're not ok with a strapless gown that's a totally different story, but it might be worth considering.

I love Aurora... that is where I got my dress... Cami is amazing !!

Me likey but I agree with Alyssa and think maybe you should try a strapless dress or something with thinner straps. With that kind of top I don't think a wrap will look good but with a strapless dress or one with thinner straps you could at least get one for pictures. Or did you already buy that dress? If so then I said skip the wrap all together... it would take away from the dress and be too overwhelming I think.

I know!! I LOVE her! I bought the dress bc I hate strapless. I feel naked. I like the V-neck and this one hids my tan lines.:))

I would suggest an updo with this dress, FWIW.

Are you wearing a veil? An updo with a veil with take the focus off your arms.

I am self conscious of my arms, so I made sure my veil was over my arms for pics. It made a big difference!

Your dress is very pretty! And I agree with pp about the wrap. I don't think you need one.

<div>This is a fab idea - you can get some coverage but it would still look nice and light.</div>

It's a lovely dress. I think you should do what makes you feel most comfortable. A light sheer shawl wouldn't look bad with that and if it makes you feel less self-conscious then you should wear it. Do whatever will make you feel the happiest. It is your wedding day. However, once you start dancing, I'd try not to worry about it too much and just have a good time.

What a princess dress! I like the idea of adding maybe a finger tip veil with at least 2 layers FWIW. I think it would add coverage to your arms without taking away from your beautiful dress.
