Thank you ladies... its actually not pnina... although its similar dresses, i forgot who makes it, its some italian designer ... i was thinking of instead of the tool, having it as silk taffeta or satin, again, there still WOULDNT be the mid section see thru like that (i dont like that)..Again, thank you ladies for you opinions.. means alot. :)

I def don't think it looks cheap. However, I don't like that the middle is rather see through + I think the skirt is more 'promish' than 'weddingish' and I am very into the princess thing.

i like the tulle-it's not me, but the dress in bride wars was tulle and it was beautiful!! i think once the bodice was changed it would be wonderful

Re: i need advice... please be honest

I agree, I dont think it looks cheap, In fact I think it looks pretty expensive bc it looks like a pnina! If you love the look with the tule I say go for it. Tule is just not my style. Do you like the idea of the 'see-throughness' on the top?

I don't think it looks cheap. I say if you like it then you should get it. I'm just not a fan of any tulle.

Re: i need advice... please be honest

i think that the see though bodice with a tulle skirt can be a bit much, i think tulle skirt can be very pretty as long as the top is done right

but as everyone else said its about what YOU feel comfortable in

i love love love the top but i dnt like the tulle...it doesnt make the dress look cheap at all but its just what kinda of style you like..if you like the big puffy tulle look then the dress is beautiful but i like the more aline satin dresses

Re: i need advice... please be honest

i dont think it looks cheap.. i like the sash of tulle at the waist

my friend who got married last year had a dress similar to yours.. and no one thought her dress looked cheap!

Re: i need advice... please be honest

That looks like a Pnina Tornai dress, is it?

To answer your question I think the dress is beautiful and if you have the body to wear that gown then I think you will be beautiful.
The only thing I don't like is the fact that the waist is so sheer and you can see skin, but that's just me.

Good luck,
Liz

Re: i need advice... please be honest

I don't think it looks cheap it looks like sweet-16/promish to me. I'm sorry =(

Re: i need advice... please be honest

She mentioned that it is not a Pnina and that she would NOT have the see through middle.

I like the top. I originally loved tulle, then I tried it on and didn't like the way it looked on me at all. I would say go with your gut. If you feel like this is THE one, then go for it. I do NOT think it looks cheap at all.

Nichole2010 Posted: May 29, 2009 11:59 AM

Re: i need advice... please be honest

Re: i need advice... please be honest

No... I dont think your dress looks cheap at all.... but honestly I find it really hard to judge if a dress looks cheap or not.... My mom thinks my dress does not look like what we paid for it... and she maybe right...... But its my dress... I'm wearing it and people will think whatever they want.... They dont need to know how much I spent on my dress.. know what I mean?

Oh and I think that your dress is pretty! i just wish I could see a full pic of it.

Re: i need advice... please be honest

I absolutely love it !!!!! My friend had a similar dress for her wedding ( in one of my albums), she got so many compliments.

I personally don't like the tulle, it makes me think of ballerina. I am definitely into the 'princess' look, as my gown is a ball gown, but I just don't like the tulle. I prefer organza. Still light and airy like tulle, but not as stiff. JMO. But again, if you love it, go for it

Laura, not only are we weekend twins but we have the same taste!!

I agree, I am not a tulle person and I love organza more....and unfortunately, and I am being honest, so please please please don't feel offended....I think a dress can in person look one way, but can look totally different in photos....with that being said, I do think it looks like a bit cheap. it could be the quality of the tulle. I have seen tulle gowns that are made with quality material and look fabulous in pictures, but I don't think this dress is one of them.

BTW if you like the sheer waist....you may want to take a look at Mary's PC Bridal gowns. I think they have a few in their collections.
