    Or is it too fancy.  I was going to get it in a light lavander so it wasnt so bright.  I have been in love with this dress forever.  I was going to wear it at my FI's winter Gala, for engagment pics, and maybe a fancy wedding in the future as well as to the bridal shower.

    What do you bees think?

    What kind of bridal shower are you having?  I think it might be too much for an at home bridal shower like most are.

    It's beautiful...... but...... Not sure about it being a "bridal shower" type of dress.  That said, I don't know you, don't know anything about your venue, etc.  If you love it, I say go for it.

    It seems like a fun party dress! More appropriate for a bachelorette i think. But it also depends on your type of shower. The showers my friends and I have usually include a bunch of our moms and their friends and people wear sundresses mainly.

    It's pretty, but I would wear it as lingerie or out to a club before I'd wear it to a bridal shower.  But hey, if you can rock it and feel great, then go for it!

    The dress is cute but it's soo short and looks kind of prom-ish to me. I think it's too sexy to wear to a shower, wedding or for engagement pics.  You could wear it out to a club, or for a bachelorette party though.

    I don't think it's too "fancy" but I do think it's too sexy for any of those events.  It does depend on your body type and if you're not popping out of the dress, like the model is, then it might be more appropriate.

    Yeah I am defiently not sexy like the model, I am short and have small boobs so I dont pop out anywear.  At my cousins wedding a few years ago I saw a woman wearing a similar dress and I just always thought it was so beautiful.  But I dont want to look silly at my bridal shower either.  Maybe I could get a similar dress that is not so poofy or make a more casual version of the dress myself. I have just never hemmed tulle before so I am not sure how hard that is.

    I think it's a bit much for a bridal shower. It would be fun for a bachelorette party, or a club. I think narrow down what you love about it, and find something similar.

    This looks more like lingerie than a dress. I personally would keep it to the bedroom. Or for your bachelorette party.
