Should i remove appliques from illusion neckline?

I love the neckline on your dress as-is! I like that it is asymmetrical. But, it is not me that has to love it. It’s you. So, so what will make you happy!

It looks lovely as shown in the picture.

Before I even finished reading I had the same thought as your seamstress, removing the appliques will leave holes in every single place the lace is stitched to the mesh. Because of how delicate mesh is, the holes will get bigger through the day. It also will make the mesh more fragile and have a higher chance of tearing and getting caught on things.
Personally, I would advise against it unless it is really ruining the dress for you. If you like it as is, just leave it alone. Any seamstress will tell you the same thing unless they're just trying to get a quick buck from you.

The appliqués are the best part of your gown. Don’t touch it! It’s gorgeous as is!💙👰‍♀️💍👰‍♀️💙

I like it as is. If you really want to balance it out it's probably easier to add appliques to the other side than take them off. You could also consider having the mesh totally removed, but I'm sure it's a fair amount of money to do that as well.

I think it is perfect the way it is. Your dress is beautiful!

Yeah I think it looks great. The asymmetry makes it look very natural and earthy. I wouldn't risk it.

Thank you everyone for the feedback!! I decided to keep it as is
