Dress opinions...

Okay so Ive had my dress for a few months now and I want to get it altered soon. But I need some opinions. First one being, the dress has a flower on the side. Does this look tacky? The more I look at it the more I dont know about it. Someone told me I could always take it off and add some type of brooch or something. Or just leave it plain. Secong question...should I add straps? In the second pic of the back of the dress it looks like it has straps. Your opinions would be greatly appreciate.

hmmm. I say no straps, and i don't think the flower is tacky, but when you mentioned the broach, I thought that would look GORGEOUS on the dress.

honestly i am not a fan of the flower .... i dont think it looks bad or anything but i would proabably jsut remove it ... and straps are totally up to you ... me personally .. i dont like strapless dresses so i would rather have straps...

Re: Dress opinions...

I LOVE the idea of a brooch...the flower is a little too - trendy.....in 15 years you may look back and think...oh no, what was I thinking.. But with a brooch (especially if your family has one) - is always classic!!!

The dress is STUNNING btw...

Straps or no straps - that's entirely up to you. I don't think straps would take away from the dress. It's a matter of comfort - if you think you'll be pulling it up all night for fear of the girls making an appearance...strap it in baby!

Yeah I liked the flower at first. I thought it made it more spanish style but the more I look at it, the more it bothers me. Its coming off. And maybe the seamstress can pin straps so I can see. Im sure the girls wont make an appearance. I barely have any!!! Ive been waiting years for them to make an appearance

Yes - but no better time than when you are dancing with your FH for them to pop out and say HELLO!!!

Definitely try the strap look with the seamstress - that's a great idea!
