Ity-bity dress-stress--you, too?
After my hubby-to-be and I got engaged the wedding dress was the first thing, and the easiest thing I had found--or so I thought! We wanted a small, intimate wedding and I bought a very inexpensive but good looking gown. Fast forward to the present and our guest list has exceeded 220 and his parents are pushing for a very large, expensive, circus of a wedding (I love them, I do; they're footing the bill so arguments are a no-no) and I;m starting to feel self-concious about my dress choice...
Had a dream last night that my dress was burned and I had to sew it inot a new dress on the spot, and I liked it better. Advice, ladies?

Heres a pic of the back.
Oh and by the way, don't be surprised if you have more "wedding nightmares". I had some doozies when I was planning too!

<div>Can you perhaps get it altered in such a way that it can be removed for the reception?</div>
[QUOTE]There is a simple elegance to that dress that makes it look like a million bucks, even if you got it on the sale rack. The dress is gorgeous, it looks great on you, and it doesn't look cheap. Try not to second guess yourself! <strong>Oh and by the way, don't be surprised if you have more "wedding nightmares". I had some doozies when I was planning too!

Oh my goodness, yes. I had many, many wedding-mares, including one where all the men forgot we were getting married and failed to show up. We found them playing video games and eating pizza in black sweat suits <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" />
As far as the "Super Bride" cape, if you truly hate it then by all means remove it. But if you like it and are just worried about the bustle, talk to a reputable seamstress before making any decsions. Or just embrace it and put a "SB" emblem on the front of the dress <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />
I think the dress is sooo elegant. I love the back. I think it makes it dramatic enough for a large wedding. I think changing the back would change the whole look and feel of the dress. I love it!!!!
Beautiful dress!! I say keep it

I have a similar issue with my dress, I'm just having the cape thing removed all together because I didn't like how much it hides the back of the dress! Here's a picture of the back:
