Dress options (Opinions needed!) PIP heavy

entropicbeauty · December 2011

Okay, so below are all the dresses I tried on at the FABULOUS Bombshell Bridal Boutique and I need some unbiased opinions!

Tell me which 2 you like out of all the options below.

On a side note, my wedding is themed 1920's so I'm kinda going for an old movie-star glamour kind of look. The last picture shows me with the veil I'll be wearing (to give you a better idea)

and also, while I'm throwing a ton of pictures at you...here is my STD postcard:

CLICKY

Breaking my no text rule for today on this one:

Dress 1 - LOVE the lace but it doesn't exactly fit your theme/feel of vintage glamour - just the vintage

Dress 2 - Does nothing for me. Too cookie cutter maybe?

Dress 3 - The proportions seem off too me. Instead of looking balanced, I am like HELLO BOOBS!

Dress 4 - Pretty but like #2, it doesn't move me

Dress 5 - Va-va-voom you have curves! I love that it has a classic "bombshell" drape and the sparkle adds to the glamour. I think if you add a sparkly piece to the veil, it would look fab.

Dress 6 - Not loving the way the shape/fabric drapes on you

Dress 7 - Very flattering but a bit boring. With some bold jewelry you could liven it up though. I think this one is the most flattering cut

Dress 8 - Like 2 & 4, a bit generic.

So yeah, in short 1, 5, 7 are my faves. Dress overall I love #1 because I love lace. Theme wise, #5 rocks. Flattering wise, #7 :P

Same for me. It's that general IE "HTTP 404 not found" thing.

The STD postcard link worked though. Very cute!!

entropicbeauty · December 2011

Okay, sorry guys! All links are fixed - the pictures were WAY too big to just put into the actual post so I had to upload them to my web site. Sorry for the confusion!

Number 5 is THE ONE.
For reals. It is super flattering and gorgeous.

Kome2012 · December 2011

WHY IS MY POST FIRST!? Stupid TK

[QUOTE]I love the flowered-lacy overlay on #1. I like the top portion of #2, but not so much the bottom. Number #3 just doesn't do it for me. I think the empire waist in that one adds volume and isn't as flattering. (In this particular case in this dress.) Numbers 4-6 - none really "work" for me. Nothing particular about any of them stands out postive or negative. I like 7. But I have to say, to pick two, I would go with 1 and 8. I <strong>think 8 is very flattering</strong>, has detail without too much detail, etc. Number 1 is just gorgeous.

See, I have to disagree. I think #8 makes you look wider than you are around the hips and doesn't define your waist like the others. You look more boxy than hourglass in that one (i think it's the over draping of it)

TopSecret12 · December 2011

#5 no question about it!! it looks beautiful on you and it definately gives you that vintage look that you want. when I saw 5 it made me think "WOW!" this is the one!

ramisenh · December 2011

#5! I think that is the most flattering on you (although you are gorgeous in all of them!)

celticmyss · December 2011

1 is gorgeous. Do you mind telling me who the designer is so I can see if I can try it for myself?

Definitely not a fan of 6. The draping on 8 does make you look wider in the hips than you are but I think it is just the way it's pinned up. Otherwise I think it is very pretty.

% isn't my style at all but it's pretty neat. I think it's flattering on you as well.

[QUOTE]I would go with 5 in white. :)

That is the only sucky thing about #5 - it ONLY comes in that kinda gross champagne color<div>
</div><div>And I will find out who the designer of #1 is - I'm going to the shop again tomorrow and can ask (I know the designer for #8 is Da Vinnci?)</div>

Kome2012 · December 2011

I love the champagne color of #5. It adds the old glamour to it.

NinaTony · December 2011

You look STUNNING in number 5!

faerylvr27 · December 2011

i agree with PPs: #5 is the one

stunning, and perfect for your theme

that one girl · December 2011

#5 looks great on you, and I think the color is unique!

StephBeanWed61502 · December 2011

#5 is the most figure flattering, I think.

bruna29 · December 2011

I LOVE number 1. It's so beautiful, but I'm not sure it would fit in with your theme. Regardless, I would say screw the theme and just buy the dress because I think it's that pretty.

I agree with Kendall and think #2 is too cookie-cutter.

#3 and #4 don't really do much for me, either.

#5 definitely shows off your curves, and it'd look great with something cute and sparkly in your hair.

#6 and #7 don't really do much for me again.

#8 - Not bad. I think the side detail is cute.

All in all, I LOVE #1 and I like #5.

RaptorSLH · December 2011

#5, definitely!

Gives you hollywood bombshell curves.

More red carpet in style than the others.

Color adds to the vintage glam look.

Even without the theme, I like #5 best. But if you want to look like an old-time movie star, making her red-carpet entrance before an admiring audience, than it's definitely the pick of the lot. Given the theme, I'd go #6 as a second choice, though it's too plain for my personal taste.

rmontpas · December 2011

I really like five as well. You look beautiful in it!

elio23 · December 2011

You look stunning in all of them! But I'm going to have to say my favorite is number 1...especially for the theme you're going for. Number 5 is also amazing on you, so that would be my second choice. I REALLY like the color, but if you're not sold on it, it may not be "the one". Good luck!

meshee1234 · December 2011

Definately 5!!

mymissingpuzzlepiece · December 2011

I love dresses #1 and #3.. so beautiful.

that one girl · December 2011

#5 looks great on you, and I think the color is unique!

jennipea382 · December 2011

I like 1, 2, 4 and 5 but in white/ivory (though I realize you said it only comes in that color.. maybe there's something similar out there?). Good luck!

Geri510 · December 2011

Love #5 on you - the best by far, but what do you feel the most comfortable & love.

StephLove12 · December 2011

LOVE #5. I actually love the color. I went to Bombshell over the summer and found a champagne colored dress (a litte darker than the one in #5) and tried to convince myself to get the dress based on color alone. I loved the color, not so much the dress. Thankfully I came to my senses. But I still wish I had a champagne dress.

TripleJTobe · December 2011

I love 1 & 8 ...but honestly I think you looked dynamite in them all!!!

lisag76 · December 2011

I like 5 and 7. If you feel they are too plain you can always get a sash sewn onto the waist area. They are both very pretty. (7 looks almost like my dress)
