Please help- Dress

Original post by Karoline

Hi Ladies,

This is a little long so I apologize in advance! I bought my original wedding dress last year but was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after. I just finished my reconstructive surgery in December and unfortunately my dress no longer fit for various reasons. (Macy's gave me a full refund..can't say enough about that). I found a dress this weekend and fell in love with it but I'm having a hard time with it being strapless (new boobs seem lower than before lol). I can get straps added or leave as is. I would be so grateful if you could look at the pics I saved in my album and let me know what you think. My family and friends are too nice...afraid to hurt my feelings so I would greatly appreciate your honest opinions.

Thank you

Aww, you look beautiful! I definitely think if it's going to worry you, go with the straps. My sister regrets not having straps for her wedding. Her tailor didn't do a great job with alterations and there are plenty of pics of her bra slipping out of her dress at her wedding. She was pulling it up all night also. You can even have ones that tuck into your dress and you can break them out if you feel the need.

That's at Helens Bridal! I got my dress there too! You look phenomenal and I don't think you need the strap at all. But with that being said, my dress does have a small spaghetti strap and it has made me 100x more comfortable just being there. So if its a matter of comfort (which I completely understand) then do it. The straps don't mess up the look of the dress at all so don't be afraid of that. Either way you look gorgeous.

You can always have them add straps and make them removable. Because it's a corset back, it should fit pretty perfect though. You need to do what you will be comfortable with! It's gorgeous either way!
