SO having never worn a strapless anything before...i get this brilliant idea to get a strapless wedding (because I fell in love with it). So to get used to the feeling I just chose a strapless engagement dress.

SO the reason I don't wear strapless is because I don't feel it flatters my body. I have what I think are very noticable rolls under my arms.

SO I asked my FH to take a pic in the dress and it came out awful and now I am freaking out that I made a huge mistake. I am putting pics of what I am talking about in my album....please respond and tell me if I should rethink strapless, or advice to help.

Clothes should flatter you, and I'm not sure I made good choices.

You look beautiful in both. I think the e-dress is just hanging a little too low. Try to alter it so it sit a little higher. I think you look beautiful in your wedding dress.

But if you feel very uncomfortable in your dress you can always have them add straps. I don't think you need them, but you have to do what makes you feel comfortable.

I really think both dresses look georgous on you!!! I really love your wedding dress and think you look georgous in it. but, i know we are all so critical of ourselves, i think its more important for you to be comfortable, im sure you can get straps put in.

The e dress is too low and that's why it doesn't look as flattering. But your wedding dress? OMG you look amazing in it! Do not worry!

ITA!!!!! your wedding gown is gorgeous, and looks PERFECT on you! But i agree about the e dress, its a little low and a different cut on the top.

I think your wedding dress looks beautiful on you!! however if you feel uncomfortable you can always add straps to it....
Either way its going to be beautiful!!!

Re: strapless regret...HELP

why not get straps added. You can get sphegetti straps, or even a halter strap added. Take it to a seamstress and it should be simple enough to do.

Good luck!!!!

Honestly, you look gorgeous in your dress and I don't see what you are talking about because I don't even see anything hanging over your dress...you are just having the wedding jitters, trust me you look amazing!!!!

Ditto!!

Re: strapless regret...HELP

i love both dresses..the e-dress is flirty and fun, love the color and it flatters you and wedding dress is gorgeous, esp on you.. so smile and dont stress..like all the ladies are saying, you can always add straps (which i dont think u need on your wedding gown) or pull up the e-dress a lil higher so you can be stress free.. but still beautiful~!

Re: strapless regret...HELP

I was in the same boat. I never wear strapless. Always remember that we are harder on ourselves. When I tried on strapless dresses the people with me were honest and told me the truth, so I will do the same with you.
I am not love with the black and white dress. It does not look bad, but something about the bust needs to be adjusted. I told you I would be honest with you. But however, the bridal gown is absolutely stunning and I am not jsut saying that. It very much flatters you and is a really pretty dress. I do not know your personality, but this dress really does something for you. I would not regret it for a moment. You really do look beautiful. Again, just being honest.
I think many people secon dguess their dress and that is ok, but know that you did not amke the wrong decision. GOOD LUCK

Girl, you're crazy! You look gorgeous in your dress! It's very flattering. If you keep focusing on it you will find a million things you don't like - take it from us, you look great!

Re: strapless regret...HELP

I think you look amazing. It makes me so sad that women have such a hard time with their body image. I choose strapless too and am no way near what you look like - so I've been working out to tone up for my June wedding. I would say if you really don't think you look good, see if they can add some type of sleave. But I would really take another look - you really do look good right now in it.

I agree what another bride responded....YOU are your biggest critic!

I looked at your pics and you look gorgeous! No rolls...promise! The dress looks beautiful and it flatters you perfect.

Understand that we are never going to be perfectly happy with ourselves no matter what anybody says or what we think....but from a strangers opinion....it looks GREAT on you! As well as the engagement dress!
