This is not the best way to hunt for dresses.

We really want a 1920s theme. My body type (short and round). Does not work perfectly for mermaid style dresses, but there has to be something that will work. I ordered this (black and blue), loving it online. I don’t like it in person. It’s not even the fit that I dislike. It just wasn’t what I...
We really want a 1920s theme. My body type (short and round). Does not work perfectly for mermaid style dresses, but there has to be something that will work. I ordered this (black and blue), loving it online. I don’t like it in person. It’s not even the fit that I dislike. It just wasn’t what I envisioned from the pictures. This white one showed up on my Facebook and it’s so pretty! For only $30, I ordered it and if it doesn’t work, it can be returned just like the other one. I’m just trying to get an idea of what looks good. I don’t want to go to Bridal stores because I don’t plan on spending bridal store prices. I will check our one discount bridal store I know, but this style of dress really isn’t very prevalent. I also love this spaghetti strap blue one, but I don’t think it’ll do well with my body type. Haha. This is why I start looking for dresses two years away from the wedding.

    Thanks! I have a general idea of how I want it to look. I just need to find it.

    We have a similar shape, I bought my custom black gown from Cocomelody for less than $400 total. It is really well structured with boning and a corset built in. I am not even wearing any shapewear with my dress. It’s a cross between a mermaid and a sheath.
    curvy girls can ROCK a mermaid! We just need good spanx or a bit of structure to our dress.
