What style is your wedding dress? Are you wearing a fit-n-flare or mermaid dress that shows off your shape? Were you drawn towards the drama of a ballgown? Are you into the simple sophistication of a sheath? Share your shape! Ballgown?Photo by Lacy Ferrell Photography in Sumter, SC Mermaid? Photo...

    Mine is mermaid and strapless. I initially thought I would go with ball gown or something more custom. The minute I put it on, I couldn't stop smiling.

    I JUST got mine this weekend and I am so excited!! I was between two dresses and tried this one on, on a whim. If I didn't I would have wound up with Carter from Lovers Society which I was worried about my stomach in. I only have videos of me wearing so I have to post photos from the site, but I think it's a fit and flare.

    Don't worry, the pics do not do justice when taken inside the store. Rely on how you feel and how others see you in the dress. I felt the same and just needed reassurance.

    Mine is a ball gown. Funny, the dress I loved in pics turned out not to be "Me". Tried on several different styles and the ball gown style just worked! Didn't expect that, but I love it!

    I had this problem when I was looking to buy a dress. I actually decided until I looked myself in the mirror and in the pictures, I wouldn't buy a dress lol. But it's super important on how you feel when you wear it, at least in my opinion.
    I think it looks pretty and classy on you.

    I had the same thing. I wanted a ball gown but hated them all on me. I live looking at all of y'all in your pretty Cinderella dresses though lol I ended up going with a mermaid
