I'm not sure about the neckline...does it look Bridesmaidish? I want to be the bride...

Way too plain for the bride, I would wear that to your wedding. Is it too far gone to change your mind??? Will you be dressing it up somehow?? What made you first fall in love with it???

I think its perfect for a beach wedding....but...

I'd like it if the front were a bit of a v neck too though.

I love the back!

Re: Pics of my dress...Which I think I hate!!

I asked hubby to get a man's opinion, he loves the back but says the front needs to be sexier, don't ask me what that means.

Re: Pics of my dress...Which I think I hate!!

The back is classy and sexy, it looks beautiful on you. Perhaps you can ask them to cut the front into a V-Neck or if not comfortable with that, then a scoop neck, sort of roundish and thin out the straps. You can have them put a peice of the same chiffon they used on the back, around the scoop neck. I think it would soften the look of the dress, to go with the beach.

Re: Pics of my dress...Which I think I hate!!

Just being honest here but I also agree with Shamma. I love the back but is there anything you can do with the front, like maybe make it a v-neck?

Re: Pics of my dress...Which I think I hate!!

I guess I asked for honesty..but brutality??? (LOL)I know it's plain. My wedding is a friday afternoon on the beach at a classy place, open cocktail hour and then desert no sit down dinner. I 'm not having a BP just a simple affair.

I fell in love with the dress because of the back. I kickbox and that's where most of my muscles are.(not that you can tell by that picture) Anyhow...I wanted simple I'm not inot beads or embroidery. Joe is wearing dockers and an open white tee shirt.
But I do agree with changing the front...my mom thinks it's fine but that's why I asked for more opinions...I was also thinking of a v-neck as well.
Shamma's husband is right about a little bit sexier..I compared the neckline to Jackie-O. Not the look I was going for!
50 days!!!! I think it's too late to change!
I like that idea about the chiffon to the scoop neck..hmmmm

Re: Pics of my dress...Which I think I hate!!

I have to say that I really like your dress as is. I think it is very classic and while it covers more in the front it is also very sexy in the back. I think it might be too much with a swoop in the front and in the back. Double swoop swoop.. jmo
I am sure whatver you end up doing you will be beautiful! Good Luck
