It is really your decision on the dress. I dont care for it. It is kind of boring in my eyes. Everyone has different taste. If you like and are happy with it, then go for it :)
its not too poofy, but make sure you get a WHITE slip/garment that will suck in your tummy. that dress is VERY unforgiving in the abdominal area and the fabric is thin, so you'll see right through it
When people see white they think wedding. Also, it looks like a wedding dress. I wouldnt wear it because I would be worried about keeping it white all night. That could take away from the fun.
No for the ball. I too thought you were trying on wedding dresses because it looks like there is another one hanging up in the back. Any other color I would say perfect! I love the flow of it, and it's not to poofy!
For the BALL? NO WAY. Wedding gowns are for weddings. Ball gowns are for balls. Unless you're getting married AT the ball (after doesn't count), you should not wear a wedding dress TO the ball.
As for the baby-in-bun---yeah, but you can also see the white of the seams of the dress, which makes it look like you need a slip.
If the dress were black, I'd LOVE it for the ball (minus the train. everyone will step on your train and it'll be impossible to dance in, BELIEVE ME, I had one for my wedding and thought I'd die hauling it around to dance!)
if you want white, do NOT buy a wedding dress. Period.
(minus the train. everyone will step on your train and it'll be impossible to dance in, BELIEVE ME, I had one for my wedding and thought I'd die hauling it around to dance!)
I'm not to worried about the train. I'm getting everything altered on the dress, meaning getting rid of the train. I didn't even have a train on my wedding dress which was way bigger then this. Plus I don't dance!
I was just wondering if it was too poofy or if I should get some of it taken out.
and I agree again that you will HATE it having a train or excess fabric back there ... I had a WONDERFUL ball gown last year but it dragged a little in the back and I cannot express how annoying that was on about 100000 levels.
There was a girl at our ball last year that I am pretty sure wore a wedding dress - it looked AWFUL not because the dress wasnt pretty but because it was very clearly a WEDDING dress ...
HOWEVER - as nice as you look in that dress, I dont like the dress in general - it looks cheap and poorly made. Doesnt matter WHAT color it could be - I still wouldnt like it
I wore a long straight one last year and hated it. I don't like tight fitting things. That's why I went with the white dress. It was poofy like I wanted and white...I literally couldn't find anything.
There are different shades of white, you should consider one of those, since you want white. Maybe a different shade will make it look less "here comes the bride".
I really suggest promgirl.com they have TONS of different style dresses - you can search by color, some of them are expensive but they have a TON of really nice sale dresses ... thats where I have bought mine the last 2 years ... They ship fast too
This looks too much like a wedding dress and I really wouldn't recommend it. It's cute on you but just not for this event. But everyone else has told you the same thing and you are still trying to justify wearing it so do what makes you happy I guess
