    So I am kind of lusting after this right now and the more I look at it, the more I am looking at it the more I think it just needs a little 'sparkle' or something. I have attached pictures of the dress below and some ideas I have to make it sparkle a little. The pics look a little odd bc I cropped it a little to get the visual that I want bc I want the bodice shortened and not down to the mid thigh.Should I add to this dress? :  wedding Mod4

    I think a broach where the fabric gathers on the left would add the sparkle you are looking for.  I love that dress and it looks so flattering.  Good luck!

    I like the sparkle along the top edge of the bodice. I also think a big statement necklace would work with this dress, but obviously that would be contingent on the specific necklace :)

    I don't think you should do anything to bodice of the dress. I think it will compete too much the fabric gathering on the dress and end up looking busy..

    I agree with sealiz about having a broach or having a statement necklace/jewelry.

    I love your dress!!!  I know how you feel - I love my dress but I feel like it needs something more!  I think if you are going to feel that way on your wedding day a broach is the way to go - I like the simplicity of the top of the dress with the rouching I wouldn't change that part!

    @brady3537: The designer is Ines Di Santo

     

    I agree with you girls that the dress is beautiful the way it is and I do love it how it is but I cant help but feel it needs just a little something extra. I keep toying with the idea of a little beaded sash but I am unsure how it would look with the fabric gathering the way it is.

    I imagine it would look something like this but I obviously wouldnt have that type of sash...I would want one like the one below it

    IMO, I think beading on the bustline would be great so you don't lost the integrity of the ruching.
