Saga of the $5 wedding dress- pics

W-K, on June 8, 2019 at 4:18 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
I was so excited for my appointment today. It went OK. I also booked to look at bridesmaids dresses as well. Was a little irritated because over the phone they said they had tea length slips to try on but they did not. I told the consultant that I wasn’t planning on buying today up front. It’s a big decision!!


So I had bought a $5 dress at the thrift store that I had dry cleaned and it looks great! But now I’m really torn between it and one other dress. Its come partially down to a modesty thing, though. The other dress exposed too much of my back. I’m not interested in sinking a lot in alterations. So I’m going to pray about it and we’ll see Smiley smile

My bridesmaids did pick their dress and I’m so excited about that! The first dress is the thrift store dress. Still need to find a slip if I go that route.

    I think the second dress is much more bridal!

    For sure! It’s so twirly and pretty I’m digging it. I figure I still have a few more weeks to decide and at least I know what size will fit!

    I like both! I think they're both pretty bridal. Their silhouettes are definitely different though.

    I think the second dress is better. But choose the one that makes you feel like a bride, or whatever you dreamed of.

    They are both pretty but the first looks like something I’d expect for a bridal shower or bachelorette party. The second is much more bridal.

    They are both great. I do like the second one more in the way it fits you.

    Second one looks great! I think it doesn’t really need alterations at all but understand you may not feel as comfortable with your back being exposed. When I found my dress I knew it was the one. Do either of them give you that kind of feeling? If so that’s the one because at the end of the day it is how you feel that matters.

    After sleeping on it I’m planning on keeping looking. Neither dress gives me butterflies or any sort of omg got to have it feeling.
