*********** I thought I posted on here already ... HMMMM ... I need your input gals!!

I know Ive shown my gown on here but now Im second guessing myself. This is the one I put a deposit on. I absoluetly adore it! I tried on 8 gowns and each gown I loved. I thought it would be impossible to choose but when I tried this one on - I cried, my mom cried, my MIL cried. It was perfect. Im second guessing myself though because I think I should have looked around more.

Questions:

1) What do you think of the dresss? HONESTLY

2) Do you think I should keep looking?

3) What headpiece necklace and earring style would go well with this? lol If anyone feels like playing fashion consultant!

Thanks for feedback, constructive criticism, and advice!!!

First of all it is hard to give an honest opinion without seeing YOU in the dress....
With that said, I think the dress is beautiful, very elegant yet sexy too.
Because of the neckline I would style your hair in a very romantic way, either all up or half up/down, but not too tight...

As for jewlery I think that you could go with just about anything, a large necklace and smaller earings, or vice versa....it is really up to your personal style! Good Luck...

Justine, you will look like a princess in that dress! My only suggestion is that it looks plunging, so you may want to consider adding thin straps to it....I've seen so many brides continuosly pulling up a strapless dress. I agree, it will be easier to judge the dress seeing you in it- but I think it will look beautiful.

I feel like you should always go with your gut! If you fell in love when you first put it on, you'll fall in love with it again once it comes in and it will be in your size..

You don't always have to look around to find the best things for you! I went to kleinfelds and only tried on a few dresses (10 at most) before i knew i had found 'the one'... also, i booked the first dj i saw, the first florist, the first reception hall.... my point is, you don't always have to look around because you think that's what you're 'supposed' to do...

go with your gut!

Thank you! I was nervous about the strapless sweetheart too but its not as low on me as it is on the model and I felt really comfortable in it. I hope it fits as well on the day of as the sample did

It's a gorgeous dress! I love the detail on the skirt and train. I would go with it, go back and try it on again if your second guessing yourself.

I think with that dress you should get a simple veil, maybe elbow length with a satin edge or some scattered crystals. And a simple necklace and some longer earrings would lokk great!

I think the dress is beautiful. Especially since it is a Demetrios. I second guessed myself about my dress at first, but it is only normally.

The dress itself is GORGEOUSSSS however, in order to give you an HONEST opinion- i would have to see it on you- Im sure if you, your mom and everyone else cried its THE one!!! Go with your gut!! I kinda had a similar problem with slips- everyone was telling me to go with the less fuller slip so I did and eventually I knew in my gut that I never waned that- I wanted a full princess style slip so I went with that ( 6- bone slip!!!) and guess what-EVERYONEEE looved it!! Moral of the story- go with what YOU want!! Its your day sweetie you deserve and should feel like a princess!!!

As far as necklaces and tiaras- I cant really tell what the dress has on it (pearls? diamonds?) but go with something that matches your style!!!


Hope that helps!!! Im sure you will look fabulous with whatever you decide!!!

Re: *********** I thought I posted on here already ... HMMMM ... I need your input gals!!

OK- I looked at your album of some pics of you. I think the dress is absolutely beautiful. I would keep the dress. I think that you would look very classy in it. I also think that you should wear your hair all up with pieces comming out of the back. As far as jewels- you could just about wear anything. I think you are a pretty girl and you will look beautiful.

By the way, your FH looks a little like Jim Carey. Did anyone ever tell you that?
