You do not look like a marshmellow at all. You look great and your dress is so beautiful!

Re: Pics of me in my dress...Now really w.pics

you are nowhere NEAR in need of losing 20 pounds!

I love your dress and I think you look gorgeous in it!! Maybe like some of the ladies said, you just need a little more 'pouf' to make it fall differently ..

otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing!! You will be a beautiful bride!

That dress is very pretty and I like the straps that you added.

Try a small crinoline like the other girls have suggested . You may like it, maybe not.

Honestly, I think you look great - picture yourself w/ the dressALTERED TO FIT YOU, your hair , makeup, veil, accesories etc. I think you will feel better about your decision.

You have nothing to worry about

You do NOT look like a marshmallow! I think the dress is beautiful (I especially love the train). Depending upon what look you are going for, you may like the crinoline. Personally, I like the dress as is. And good choice with the new straps - I like them.

Jules,

I just moved in with my fiance in Ridgewood. That's not too far from Woodhaven.

You don't look like a MARSHMALLOW!! You look beautiful. I do agree - try it out with a crinoline and see how you like it then, it might make a world of difference.

Oh, where in Woodhaven are you moving? I live in Forest Hills, we'll be sort of neighbors.

You look beautiful! I dont see a marshmallow at all! But I do agree with a poofy-ish slip.

Marshmallow? NO, you look wonderful. You don't need to lose any weight but I would say you might need a slip. Other than that it's beautiful.

Re: Pics of me in my dress...Now really w.pics

the dress is gorgeous but it looks like it is hanging ( no shape) perhaps a crinoline slip so it could fall like a ballgown or something a little more defined

Does it fit? its hard to tell, but it looks lit the top might need to be taken in a little. Things alwys look better when they fit properly.

And I agree with Julz about the crinoline, and I am such an anti -crinoline girl.
It may shortne the length a little though, since it spreds the skirt out, but it looks like you have room for that.

Mine has some built In & but I am not adding more. I was going to remove what was there, but that may make the dress just hang too much.
The salon was a little shocked that I didn't want a big poufy slip. They said most girls wanted it the poufiest they can get. I thought it was just the whole princess thing, which I am not into, but maybe it really just is flattering. and to think I originally just wanted a sheath!

and by the way--you do not look like a marshmellow.

And the lace on that is so pretty!

That is an amazing dress. I am so so so impressed with it. The train is stunning!

You look beautiful. I'm in the same boat feeling like I need to drop some weight to look good in my dress - but rememner we are our own worst critics. No one sees us the same way we see ourselves in the mirror.

I agree with the posters that suggested a slightly poofy slip, I am using 1 tier to fill in the A line of my dress. Nothing too poofy.
