Can you compromise on something else that would leave more money available for the dress?

In my opinion, the dress is very important. It'll be in the all the pictures/videos!

while i absolutely love the flowers on the dress...i honestly don't like the top. Something seems off. Maybe it's too high cut?
JMO. I'd keep looking or have something recreated that's similar!

ditto

the dress is great but the cut of the neckline looks all wrong. almost like its making you look like your boobs are being smooshed down.

Agreed, it is not flattering on top. I like your first dress post.

the other dresses you posted were much more flattering

I don't like the drape of the dress. The flowers are a cute touch, but they pull the dress downward. Look at the train, it should puff out a bit, not look like it is weighed down.

Realizing that it is not quite your size as it is not fit for your body, it is just not a flattering fabric or cut.

JMO but I agree!!! Although I personally dont like the flowers (they do look nice) either but then I am more of a crystal person.

I agree with PA56, if you have your heart set on it maybe you could budget something else differently.

good luck deciding!

Totally agree. I know this is the derss in your avatar and you loved it but the other fit you better. You ahve such a nice shape and this deos nothing for you-it just seems off. I'm sorry! LOVED the other one though.

I agree...the flower on the front of that sits by your thigh seems to be pulling in all the wrong directions.

I like the Vera Wang and the Alvina Valenta dresses best on you. This dress is ok but those were so much more flattering on you.

I haven't tried a single dress on yet. I can't imagine how tough it is to decide... yikes.

I think its great they are letting you take pics of them. I am away from OOT so I dont have anyone to go shopping with to get opinions. I sure hope the bridal shops let me take pics

This dress is beautiful but not the right fit for you. I would say something with more of a v-neck would be GORGEOUS on you. Which designer is this dress?

Elizabeth Fillmore. I don't think I've found the dress yet. Even though it's annoying to keep looking, it's quite fun too!

I like it a lot. You just need to get those bra stickies and a bit of altering but I Love the dress!

With your figure, may I suggest something very form fitting, mermaid style. Maybe a different material, that is maybe what I am not feeling about this dress.....
I see that you like a plain, understated look, maybe something like these?
