    Hello everyone!

    This is my very first post on this forum.  I've loved lurking around and drooling over all of your dresses, venues and photos.  Hoping you can help me.  I've been second guessing my dress for the last few weeks big time.  It's a Selia Yang gown and it's beautiful.  I just wonder if it's too plain or too boring.  I'm hoping you guys can give me some honest opinions.  My family/friends are sick of me going back and forth probably!  I could use some impartial thoughts.   

     

    Ok, there will be 4 pics.  One is of the front, with the veil.  Note that the dress is too big so the whole top comes up too high.  I'll be showing some more "cleavage" or at least just some more skin.  The pic of the back is how it will look bustled but they just sort of mocked it up.  Should look neater when it's real.  Ok, let me hear it!  and thanks in advance!

    That dress is BEAUTIFUL!! I love the simplistic elegance of it; I also love the detail around the bottom, how it falls wavy (not sure if you know what I mean), the belt is SUPER adorable!!! :-) LOVE IT!!!

    I think it's beautiful, not too plain or boring at all!

    thanks guys.  i wish i wasn't feeling this way.  i know i loved it when i had it on but it's hard to remember that feeling.  and, i have until april before i put it on again!  

    i'm definitely going to ask them to make the neckline 'scoopier' and to make the silhouette more pronounced...more severe flare.  i think it will look that way once it actually fits anyway though.

    I bet you will love it all over again once you put it back on, especially once it's altered to fit you perfectly :)

    thanks again everyone.  i am thinking of long dangly diamond earrings.  i think they'll look pretty.  not sure about necklace yet.  i know i'll be wearing a diamond bracelet too and probably a crystal pin or a matching flower to the sash in my hair.  that should add some excitement to the look i hope!  

     

    blueshoes...i'm crossing my fingers that i do fall in love with it again.

    thanks!  

     

    crebre...my name is a quasi hybrid of my first name and fi's last name...but now that you mention it, it'd be a great name for a girl!  i never thought about it!  

     

    and, i guess i should explain that the detail on the waist made of 5 chiffon flowers with crystal detailing in the center of each.  i'm also adding a bit of toole to the top of the neckline which they said would tie everything together nicely.  i just i hope that when it's all said and done i don't look plain.
