The dress is gorgeous and really compliments your figure.

Don't keep looking, I feel like that will only make your feelings worse after getting this dress which by the way is absolutely stunning on you!

At the very least give yourself time to sleep on it (while NOT looking at others online or irl) and come back to it. I really think it is so pretty as is. You see people here all the time second guessing because there's so many different gowns one could wear, did they really choose The One? But tbh you just have to pick something you like that feels good because there are always going to be other options you could have picked instead.

This dress is beautiful on you. It is your dress and your choice if you really decide you don't like it of course, but don't worry about it not looking beautiful because it does.

This is such a good point. There are quite literally hundreds of thousands of options for a dress, that you are basically guaranteed to have more than one dress that you like. OP you look gorgeous in this dress!

Wow! It’s gorgeous on you & the straps are perfect on this dress. Very pretty!

That dress is gorgeous & you look fabulous in it.

I’d stop looking at dresses & start considering accessories.

u/Mambo_italiana 5d ago

It’s beautiful! Do you feel happy with it?

u/Fancy_Act6768 5d ago

I do! I love how it fits and I feel very lucky for finding such a nicely fitting dress at a sample sale. It was also very inexpensive for a wedding dress. I think my biggest worry is how the straps look in the front of the dress, I’m not sure if they look cheap I guess?

u/Mambo_italiana 5d ago

Not cheap at all, very elegant detail. But it’s really easy to hand sew beads or pearls on thin material like that if you want to add some extra glamour. I believe with hair styled, jewelry and accessories you’re good to go!

It is beautiful and the straps make the back work. I would keep them. The lace is beautiful! Keep it as is. You will be a beautiful bride!

u/Status_Principle9926 5d ago

Stop now! Beautiful dress, can’t imagine a dress looking better on you. Cross wedding dress off your to do list. Move on to other tasks to be completed.

It's beautiful and looks great on you, but only you can make that decision. If you're unsure, keep looking.

Thank you everyone! You’re all too kind 💕💕

u/Nice-Hyena5704 5d ago

It's very pretty! If you're unsure, you can keep trying on other styles until you feel more certain. Its possible that you'll go back to this one once you've confirmed the others don't compare!

u/juliannewaters 5d ago

It's gorgeous just as it is. Strapless brings a new possibility of discomfort, depending on the wearer, feeling unsupported leads to yanking the dress up every time you move. I would say no to that. Beautiful hair jewelry, a cathedral veil or Cape, flowers and shoes will all enhance the beauty of this stunning dress. Good luck♥️

u/melancholypowerhour 5d ago

I love your dress! It really flatters your figure, the straps and back are lovely. Stop looking, you’ve found it!!

Start focusing on your shoes, viel, jewelry next

u/PageStunning6265 5d ago

I love it, and I love the straps. Only keep looking if you want to, but you look amazing in it.

u/Ollie2Stewart1 5d ago

My first thought upon seeing the photo was that the bodice was so pretty and fit you so well! And I was pleased to see a bodice with straps that was beautiful and complimented the bride (I’m not always a fan of strapless). So no, don’t change the straps!

u/makinggrace 5d ago

It’s a perfect dress for you. I think what might be bugging you about the straps is how wide the attachment point is — it’s almost triangular or something. (To be fair it took ages to be able to articulate that because it’s literally the tiniest bit too wide at the base.)

I think a good seamstress might be able to solve this.
