    I am a curvy person and I was always concerned about my hips but my MOH, FMIL and my mom convinced me to buy a trumpet dress. I had my second to last fitting yesterday and now I am a bit uncomfortable and unsure of my dress choice. My wedding is only 16 days away and it is too late to make any major changes. Maybe my vision is a bit fuzzy because I am nervous, stressed and sleep deprived. It didn't help that I was alone when I tried it on yesterday. I am including before and after pictures since I made a few changes. I had the square neckline changed to a sweetheart. Let me know what you think Bees. Please tell me your honest opinions.

    Honestly, I think you look good in the dress. If you REALLY feel uncomfortable about your body or feel like it emphasizes your hips, you could EASILY add a belt and give the dress a focal point that would emphasize your small waist!

    you look gorgeous!!!  the sweetheart was a great idea.  don't buy into the "hide your curves" mentality.  if I dressed in what "suited" my body I would always be in a-line dresses.  I love my curves!!  you will look gorgeous at your wedding!

    This dress looks perfect on your body type! Trumpet/mermaid dresses look best when you have an hourglass-type figure to start out with and you definitely do. Your dress emphasizes all of the right things, don't worry! :)

    I think trumpet dresses look the best on an hourglass figure like yours - for straight framed girls, its just not the same.

    You are seriously rocking that dress & your bod looks amazing!

    Love the sweetheart neckline and the trumpet dress! It shows off your body and probably makes your butt look great too! Stop worrying about your hips: I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't pointed them out.

    Yes!  It looks great!  I think what's making you nervous is that it doesn't hide your hips.  But it flaunts your curves in a really flattering way.  You totally rock that dress.

    Changing that square to a sweetheart instantly made you look taller and leaner. You look awesome!

    @FutureMrsRugbee: Thanks. I always wanted a sweetheart neckline but I also couldn't pass this dress up. So I decided to have it altered. The price was AWESOME! I guess I should be thankful for that.

    You look absolutely stunning in that dress - seriously. It's like it was made for you (and your body type!) Don't be nervous. Strut your stuff. We expect smokin' hot pictures from your wedding which is quickly approaching. ;)

    The dress is perfect! Good call on getting it converted into a sweetheart neckline!
