Wedding Dress Opinions

Sam, on May 15, 2021 at 4:31 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 21
Hi everyone! I need opinions! I changed my neckline to this sweetheart. (Love sweetheart necklines)I need opinions on if I should take it down a little bit lower or take some off the top (where it makes the actual humps in the “heart” if that makes sense). I feel like it has a bit too much height( again if that makes sense)My seamstress said take it home and think it over on what I want to do or if I should change it in any or if I should make the neckline go straight across and get rid of the sweetheart neckline all together?All opinions are welcomed Smiley smile

    If you want to show the girls off a bit take it down lower, if you want it more "modest" keep it as is but it does look high to me.

    Hi AJ,


    Thanks for the reply and your opinion! I’m leaning in towards taking it in just a bit more to make it slightly lower.
    Thanks again!

    I would take it in a bit. It looks like it isn't proportionate to your chest.

    Maybe add push up bra pads so you can give the Girls some height as well

    Yes, definitely. In its current state it doesn’t flatter your chest. You can remove a couple inches and still preserve your modesty. Other than that, it’s a very pretty gown.

    Yes it definitely need to come down lower, or it would also look nice straight across. As is, it's too high and just looks off. As a sweetheart, it should follow the line of where a bra would hit. If that's too revealing for you then I'd go for straight across.

    I would probably do both. It does seem a little high and awkward.

    Hi there!


    Thanks for the feedback! I’m going to have it taken it in a bit more. My chest just doesn’t look right. Removing a couple inches should do the trick! And thank you! I really love my gown!

    Try it on with the bra you will be wearing on your wedding day before having any more alterations made! A push up bra might give the dress a whole different fit!

    Hi Natalie,

    Thank you for your recommendation! I will try that! It would be nice to try all options before going any further with alterations! I love the dress and I would hate to ruin it by going too, too low. I want a modest neckline but feel like where it's at now it still could use a little bit more altering.

    Thanks again!

    Have a blessed day Smiley smile

    Its too high for where your breasts sit and isn't flattering. Do you have any support for your breasts at all (sewn in cups, a strapless bra)? If not, I would consider adding some. Lifting your breasts will add fullness to the top and you might not actually need to adjust the neckline at all.

    If you decide to lower the dress to meet where your breasts sit, you will lengthen the amount of skin showing above the dress.
    My breasts are naturally lower set and strapless dresses tend to not be flattering on me because they make my décolletage area look unusually long and disproportionate to the rest of me. The only way I can wear a strapless style is if it is sweetheart neckline and has a lot of support and boning - think a bustier style dress. In general necklines/styles that are straight across my boobs (square neck, tube top style strapless, etc) are just not flattering on me at all.


    Also I do think sweetheart necklines need a little space between the bottom of the v and the chest wall. If you find the dip is flat against your skin it is going to make you look flatter and is just probably not sitting at the right spot at all.

    I would start my making sure your breasts are adequately supported and once that is done then consider what other alterations need to be done to the dress.

    I would take it down at least two inches, but as someone suggested, try the dress on with your undergarments.

    Hi everyone! Thank you all for you Opinions! It is so greatly appreciated! I did my own little modification. I tucked the top under to see what it would look like and here it is! I like this SO much better! I think I’m going to have my seamstress make this tiny adjustment. What does everyone think? Second picture is after I tucked it under. Wedding Dress Opinions 4
