Hi everyone! I need a few fair opinions on the look of this dress, because to my family I always look adorable. I boucht it in a sale from a store that bankrupted, so the dress only cost me 30 euros. I bought it at the time because I always wanted a mermaid dress, it was such a good deal, and later I could alter it to fit my taste.
But now I'm afraid the dress makes my boobs look huge and doesn't hide my tummy very well. Keep in mind that the dress hasn't been altered to fit me (that's why I'm actually holding it tighter with my hands)
So what do you think? should I sell it and buy a more forgiving dress?

But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, 'Search for Paradise.' " - Kiba, Wolf's Rain
I agree with Maggie - have them at least pin it up so you can see if you like it. Also if you're not 100%, nothing says you cannot make an appointment at another bridal salon to see if you can find something that you feel more comfortable in.
I agree that a seamstress can make the top a little more fitted & flattering. In regards to your tummy, you can always get spanx if you don't like how your tummy area looks in the dress. But if you decide to go that route, I would recommend wearing them when you go for alterations because I hear they can make a big difference in how a dress fits.
Congrats for you for finding a beautiful dress for such a steal!!!
