You are going to have to make sure your breasts are covered at all times and this is one of those dresses anyone with breasts would pop out of! Good luck-Misty

Have you tried this dress on? You have to try the dress on to decide. I am recently married and tried many on that I thought I liked in pictures. They weren't right for me once I had them on. You'll know you have the right dress when you put the dress on and look in the mirror.

I think that its lovely but you have to be tall and thin with a small bust and shapely arms to wear it!

I think that it is a beautiful dress. I am a conservative person, so if you plan on having your wedding in a church, you may want to choose a different dress; one that is less revealing. Or, have the wedding outside.

I love it. It is actually something I have been looking at. I love the ribbon tied in the middle to match the wedding colors. It is not a belt! If you love it...do it!

I THINK THE DRESS IS VERY NICE BUT IT'S NOT WHAT I THINK THAT COUNTS . I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR THE DRESS YOU DO

By Becky (Guest Post) 04/05/2006

I may be the only one, but I didn't like the dress! As the bride, all eyes will be on you--you want your guests to enjoy YOU--who you really are is revealed by your face, not your body shape. The dress does nothing to enhance the beauty your face would be portraying on this special day. If you want people to walk away saying "that was the skinniest bride I've ever seen," then the dress may work--but if it is beauty you want them to remember, wear something that will let their attention focus on the real you!

What do YOU think of the dress? Choose a dress YOU love, not one some fashion freak has declared is "in fashion". It is YOUR wedding. YOU get to choose what YOU like. Choose a dress. and shoes, that are comfortable. I think the dress is pretty. I've attended weddings where the bride looked very attractive in her strapless gown and several where the bride looked ridiculous and uncomfortable. One bride kept tugging upward on her strapless gown and nearly "fell out" several times. She couldn't do anything easily because she kept holding her top up with one hand! Try on many different styles. Don't hold your breath and suck in your tummy. You can't do that continually for several hours while wearing it on the big day! Bottom line is "do you feel beautiful in the dress"?

Beautiful dress, although a little bare at the top. How about a bolero-type jacket made out of a fabric that would blend with the dress? Best wishes.

I wish strapless wedding dresses would go out of fashion. They make the bride look shorter and fatter. And this one has a belt which is even more fattening. I would go for a dress with shoulders and have a comfortable day.

By mairmie (Guest Post) 04/04/2006

beautiful dress and looks lovely on the girl but I see it more as a dress for dancing or for in a pageant. Bridal gowns traditionally are more "modest" with shoulders and backs covered. Probably depends on whether or not it`s to be a CHURCH WEDDING or a different venue.

By Trix (Guest Post) 04/04/2006

I love the detail in the skirt, but as some others mentioned the strapless style may be an issue. Some people (and churches) frown on having shoulders exposed. Also, strapless gowns make it hard to find suitable and supportive bras and you have to watch out how you move around and reach for things to avoid popping out.
In the end though what really matters is how you feel in it. Does it suit your shape, make you feel good (if you're self concious about it, it'll detract from the beauty of the gown), and will it have you feeling uncomfortable the whole time your in it.
Whatever dress you choose, best wishes on your upcoming marriage!

very pretty

By Mary (Guest Post) 04/03/2006

It's simple and elegant & that's the best way to go. I do not care for the belt, though. It is a dress that shows a lot; I guess you would need a good figure to carry it off well. I personally think strapless gowns are beautiful. I don't care for sleeveless. Happy wedding!

By Jean in GA (Guest Post) 04/03/2006

I think you have picked a winner!!

By (Guest Post) 04/03/2006

I think it is beautiful!! The belt is different but in a good, unique way!

By KLS8800 (Guest Post) 04/03/2006

I guess it is pretty, but I have never been fond of sleeveless and/or strapless wedding dresses.

By Ang (Guest Post) 04/03/2006

Its gorgeous, but my advice is, DONT REACH UP HIGH FOR ANYTHING. You might reveal more than you intend.

By Ronsan (Guest Post) 04/03/2006

Wow! It's beautiful but my first thought was you would have to have an almost perfect figure to be able to wear this! There isn't any room for hiding a spare ounce anywhere! I don't particularly care for the silver belt but thought the lace applications outstanding. Is that pinkish tinge above and below the beltline skin showing through or a color intended for the belt area?

By

I love the material and the train. I'm not too keen on the belt though but it does depend on your height. Strapless gowns are still fashionable but I have never really liked them. Overall the bride needs to feel happy with what she is wearing and what she feels in heart is "her".

By Terri (Guest Post) 04/02/2006

I think it is simple but yet classy dress.
