I am wearing my mom's wedding dress, with a few alterations of course (taking off the sleeves)






I LOVE the neckline



and my fiance and I are going to be wearing converse in the wedding.  :D here are mine (you won't be able to see them when I am standing but you will when I'm walking.




what does everyone think? what kind of jewlery should I wear? I'm planning on growing my hair out a little bit, but no longer than chin length. does anyone have ideas for hairstyles?

    Love the dress.  Your mom must be over the moon!  A nice pearl drop pendant with oval button pearl earrings (drops would get lost in the neckline) might work well.  Hope this helps.

    I think with that type of neckline you should go with a necklace that sits close to the neck. 



    You may have to go straples or find a bra with the convertible straps. Victoria Secret carries some like that. The straps are even clear so if they would peek out they wouldn't be noticeable.

    That is so wonderful you are wearing your mom's dress, she must be thrilled! :-)

    I would definitely go with stud/button earrings. It would be a shame to spend all that money and then have them not be seen due to the neckline of the dress.

    I would definitely go for a necklace that hangs a little lower, both because you can due to the neckline and to kind of compensate for the earrings.

    I couldn't really see the back of the dress. Would a corset go up too high? That's what I wore and I would swear by it. I think I've heard of corsets that only go half up the back but still provide the support and boning in the front. If you have a low back, that may be an option. I hate strapless (non corset) bras personally.

    P.S. Love the converse! I also wore sneakers, white ones that were decorated with blue and silver to match our wedding colors  FOB (the movie) style. :-) GL!

    the back of the dress does go very high, up to where the collar goes in the front.
    another issue I am having is that I can barely get it zipped! and it's not that I am too heavy for it either it is that I am apparantly built differently then she was at my age as my ribs are too wide and my chest is almost too big. I may have to have it let out but I'm not sure that there'll be a lot of fabric for them to let out. do I have any other options?
