    Hello lovelies :-). I purchased my dress not too long ago at a Sample sale but after bringing it home I realized although I was fond of the style and fit, I didn't like the flower detailing on it, as well as it not having as much bling as I dreamed my dress to have. 

    This is what I look like in it...I need help deciding if I should take off the flower detailing and add some bling across the neckline instead like the last photo I will post up. As well similar to the last dress with the beading should I turn this dress into a sweetheart neckline. All your help and advice is very much appreciated. Thank you :-).

    Should I alter the above dress into a sweetheart neckline and add beading similar to the below picture across the neckline alone (not at the center and side of the dress-just the neckline)...as well as perhaps a crystal brooch at the hip section where flowers used to also be ?

    I'm not going to vote because personally, I love the flowers - and I love the flowers on you! But I get the feeling your heart's set on the bling and different neckline.

    I think it's beautiful as is, but it won't at all be ruined if you make the alterations you suggested. I love sweetheart necklines, and if you were to do the beading, you would def want to change to s/heart to give the beading some shape. (the brooch idea is a good one too)

    Sigh, I'm no help, I like both ideas! Go with what your heart's set on!

    The dress is lovely , its almost sweetheart neckline so altering that would only need a nip , the flowers seem ok to me hard to see from a distance but details like that are nice on dresses, my allure 8764 has flower detail and without it just wouldnt look the same, I do love the beading on the dress you posted, if you can create that look then go for it its stunning , good luck

    I think it's gorgeous as is and wouldn't change a thing personally.  If you're set on having bling, try adding a skinny blingy belt (I don't think anything other than a skinny belt would work) and see how that looks.  If you remove the flower detail though, I think you could go with a wider belt - maybe worth a try and see if that satisfies your need for sparkle.

    Honestly, I don't like the bling on the last picture you posted and I think that would take away from the beauty of your dress.  I also don't think you need to alter it to a full sweetheart - I think the slight sweetheart the dress already has is absolutely perfect with that style.

    This is all just my opinion though so feel free to disregard!
