Dress too plain?

Heather, on September 2, 2021 at 12:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19
Hello! I’m worried my dress is to plain. It was inexpensive so I’m worried it will look cheap. Any ideas on how to jazz it up a bit? Jewelry? Hair? Veil type? Etc? I've been entertaining the idea of adding some volume to the bottom. Opinions really appreciated!! Dress too plain? 1

    I think a bedazzled belt would look beautiful! And maybe some larger more statement-earrrings. A veil always helps it feel more bridal in my opinion Smiley smile

    Thank you! I've been thinking about adding a belt. I just can't seem to find the right one.

    I think the dress looks amazing on you! It fits your body perfectly and really accentuates your curves. Not many people could pull off that dress, and you do it beautifully! With all the unique details, I wouldn’t say the dress is plain at all!

    I think it's a beautiful dress as-is! If you felt like you wanted to add something to it, you could do a sparkly pair of earrings or a detailed veil (either with beading or a design).

    A really thin belt with bling would look awesome! I think the key would be to keep it simple and dainty to not fight the dress - which you are downplaying bc it has a really pretty cut!

    I would definitely add a belt to it and maybe even some hair jewelry (depending on how you will be wearing your hair).

    Oh I love it! The top is absolutely gorgeous! I would go for some statement earrings and/headpiece and a belt.

    You know, I never thought about a headpiece. I have some pins, but your suggestion made me think about like a headband type piece and I feel like it will make the look feel almost ethereal. Thank you for that! Smiley smile

    I'm think you are right about the belt. And I was thinking up as to not cover the back of the dress, so I could definitely add some bling there!

    I couldn't decide what type of belt, but I think you are right, a really thin one would be best. Smiley smile

    In the minority probably, but I would not add a belt! I think the lace is so gorgeous and the back is great, so don't hide it with hair! I would do a loose messy updo, statement earrings and a lace veil Smiley smile

    Hi there!


    No way! Your dress is gorgeous! I’m personally a huge fan of the plain dress look. I 100% do not care for the glitz and glamour dresses, I personally think they can come off gaudy. In fact my dress is a simple yet elegant satin sweetheart dress that I’m in love with. There’s something about a simple dress that just radiates elegance and class to me.
    I hope this helps! Take care!

    I think it’s a beautiful dress! I agree with the other ladies that a thin sparkly belt would make it pop a little more. Other than that, a veil, a headpiece or some nice drop earrings I think! I will say when I bought my dress the woman at the shop put this beautiful headband type thing in my hair and that’s what sold it for everyone!
