    Hi Bees-

    (I'm using a different 'name' so that my overly-involved FI doesn't see this)

    I need some advice on my dress. I just had my first fitting and don't know what I want to do with her. I'm wearing Cheyenne (Blue by Enzoani) but I have never been in love with the beading. My seamstress took it off and suggested a sash instead. What do you think?

    Your dress is so pretty. I like it best with the sash, if you put the beads on the sash. I think it definately looks better without the beads!

    i voted for the beading it came with... only bc i think the sash is too plain... butttttttt you could go with something like below... the seller is daniel12 on etsy... they have a ton of unique ones though! i do think you need some bling though :)

    I like it plain better.  The sash is ok, but I don't think it really does anything for the dress...

    I think you look stunning in your dress! I love it with the beads because I feel like it gives the dress more of a personality. It shows off your figure more because it breaks up the white. I do like it without anything but not as much as with the beading. I like it least with the sash, it looks out of place.

    I say go with the beading, its too plain with nothing else added and I don't care for the sash.

    I would say nothing or the new sash if it was jazzed up a bit.  I think it looks too plain and not like part of the dress the way it is now.  I would definately remove the beading that the dress came with though, it's not to my taste.  But that dress looks AMAZING on you, it's going in my 'i love this dress' folder on my computer.

    I definitely like it better with the sash. Perhaps you could get one with beading if you like beading but just didn't like the kind that came with the dress.

    Maybe something like this?

    I like it without anything I think. I think second I would do a beaded sash like the one a PP posted.

    I think the sash is very elegant. The beading takes away from the beauty of the dress. Nothing is too plain. The sash makes it feminine. very pretty dress regardless.

    I like the clean look of the dress without the beads AND without the sash. Straight up beautiful.

    I actually prefer the dress as is, without the beads and the sash. I think the original beading was distracting and oddly placed. The sash does nothing for the dress and looks like it was added on. If you are looking to add bling maybe you can wear a statement necklace instead.

    I really like the beading it came with.  Like others have mentioned, it gave the dress a unique feel.  My second choice would be to go with the sash, but perhaps add the beading from the dress to the sash, if possible.  The dress looks beautiful on you.

    Thanks ladies- I truly appreciate the input!!

    I guess "bling" isn't really my style. I am getting married in a little stone chapel on a farm. What about a flowered sash like one of these? Would that still look out of place?

    i absolutely love it with the sash the seamstress added.  i don't think i love bling on this particular dress even though i'm not opposed on other dresses.  i think the the sash highlights the silhouette of the dress nicely without making it fussy. it also gives you a nice shape. it is a elegant addition.  you look stunning in the dress.

    Sash, definitely sash.  It looks beautiful with it.  The one the seamstress added is really nice and the flower sashes are so pretty too, I'd love to see it on the dress.  Either way, the sash simplifies the dress but still adds a lil flare.  I think the beading was too distracting from the dress itself.  Its gonna look so good on ya!

    I voted *no beading, use the sash the seamstress added*. It is definitely a more simple look than some of the other options, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I think it looks really pretty and classic.

    Disclaimer - I always tend to favor simple / classic / limited beading, etc. Too much going on is just not my style! I like the flower, but I might worry about it looking odd next to a bouquet, or someday changing your mind about liking it [looking back]. All that said, everyone is different and I know that you will look great no matter what you decide. I love your dress!

    Your dress is beautiful. I really like it with the sash. I picked flower sash because I think that might add a nice little something extra. Or could you find a really nice beaded/ rhinestoned sash? That would look beautiful!

    Wow, I'm so glad you did this - I have this dress, and I've always been ambivalent towards the beading, and wondered what it would look like with a sash, since I've been drawn to dresses with sashes all along...

     

    But, you know what, I prefer the beading. I think it's more distinctive that way. I've scrolled up and down a dozen times, looking at it, and I definitely prefer the beading. I don't mean to influence you at all, but you've totally helped me!! Thank you!!!

    Love the dress... I'm a sucker for dresses with bottoms like that, feels really romantic. I voted for the sash. Don't have bling on your dress if you don't like it.

    I've seen this dress before and was not really ever impressed with the beading either. I think it does look better without the beading with a sash instead.... though your sash is a little thin.. maybe if you get a thicker sash? I'm not too sure about the flower sash... maybe too much going on with the dress since the dress is all lacy but on the other hand it might look really nice. It's hard to say without seeing it with the dress..

    The beads  look out of place on the dress and the sash doesn't do anything for the dress.  I like the dress without the beads and the sash.  Although it's  utlimately up to you, you have to wear it.  I hope this helps.

    Sash is good, some crystal is fine too but if the crystal is too big and gaudy looking I would say no, depend on the theme color for your wedding you can always add a nice sash in that color.

    I think a flower sash would look beautiful with that dress!  I am partial to sashes, I added a blingy sash/belt to my dress.

    I like the sash. You can always add some bling with earrings or a bracelet.
