Need everyone’s advice again

Nyree, on September 9, 2019 at 6:10 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 33
Finally got my dress(third one😏😬) but definitely final dress! I went for my first fitting. Love the dress so much but my arms are distracting me. I have a lot of excess skin! Should I have the seamstress add sleeves or just wear a bolero jacket? TIA

    I love this dress, I think you look gorgeous in it and I don’t think anyone will notice your arms. Your photographer can always edit it so I’m your pictures you don’t see it— but I wouldn’t stress it - really, you look gorgeous !!!

    Oowee the the beadwork is beautiful. I would suggest sleeves because you don’t have to worry about taking something on or off. But if that’s out your budget

    Sorry I pushed reply to early 😅 a jacket would work great. And I don’t know what a bolero is.

    I think it looks gorgeous. I was self conscious of my arms for the same reason and then decided not to worry about it. I’m sure I’m the only one that noticed.

    Thank you!! Yes she said the sleeves will probably be an additional $165. I’m already paying $565 for the alterations 😬She’s the one that suggested the bolero jacket since it’s cheaper. By the way it’s a short jacket😊

    Wow that’s crazy expensive for sleeves. I guess they might consider it a design change. I would check different bridal stores and online for a bolero (thank you lol) and because your gown is so versatile I think either a beaded one or Lacey one would look great!

    You look stunning! Nobody will notice your arms at all! But if you’re uncomfortable then that’s what matters. You want to feel beautiful, so do whatever makes you feel that way!! Also, the mannequin in the back is fantastic! Lol I thought it was a real person at first!!

    She said it will be difficult to match the sleeves with the dress. Going on line to find a jacket that’s similar to the color of the dress.

    I honestly didn't even notice until I got to the part where you mentioned your arms. My eyes drawn straight to your face to the bodice. You and your dresse are so beautiful!

    I think you look amazing! If it makes you more comfortable though, an illusion mesh bolero would be pretty!

    What about something like this to just slightly cover your arms without changing the look of the dress too nuch? This one was $30
