Given it's coming in three weeks before the wedding, I'd be hesitant. However, I do think a sweetheart neckline would look great on you, not that it already doesn't :)
sweetheart definately!!! i think it looks goo already but that will look rrreeeeallllyyyy good! :)
I think it is stunning how it is - your boobs look great in it already and who needs the extra stress of alterations!
I think it looks great on you the way it is, but I am partial to sweetheart necklines, so if it were me, I would change it to one.
I'm a massive fan of the sweetheart neckline (my own dress has a sweetheart neckline) BUT given that you've only got 3 weeks I wouldn't go there. If it's difficult or they botch it you've left yourself with VERY little time to do anything about it. The dress looks fabulous as it is, so I wouldn't risk it!
I am a sweetheart neckline person too and if you had more time, I would say go for the sweetheart. But with so little time I'd be hesitant to do it especially if things don't work out like you expect.
I think the dress looks great on you already as is!
Definitely! It's sooooooo much more flattering. Straight across necklines are a little harsh IMO, and they draw attention to arms and armpits which are usually the least flattering part for most of us. A sweetheart tends to hide those pudgy bits a little and draws attention up to the face. It doesn't have to be a full-on sweetheart - even just a little dip will help soften the edge and make it more feminine and flattering.
Can you move up your fitting date to get one ASAP? WHile I love sweetheart necklines, it looks great as-is also. Maybe feel out the seamstress and see how large of an alteration it will be. They'll be able to let you know if you should be concerned about how close the wedding date is...
@TealaB: I wish I could move it up! The dress isnt'even in yet! I am freaking out!
I think the sweetheart would be nice, but it doesn't sound like you have time. You could talk to a seamstress about their opion given the dress and see whether they have time.
I think you should do it if you really want it! I am a big fan of necklines too!
Here are the rebuttals to your cons:
-my sweatheart neckline change only cost $35
-They can do it in less than a day or two, if they know the wedding is soon. (It literally only takes about 20 min to sew, if they aren't cutting the dress.)
There are two ways to do a sweetheart neckline. Ask your seamstress for details. The first way, they actually cut the material to be more heart shaped. The second way they just gather the material around the boobs and squeeze it to make the heart shape. I would suggest you go with the second one because if you don't like it, then you just cut the thread that is holding it together.
I'm actually a big fan of straight necklines and I think your dress looks great as is.
THis may not be entirely helpful but either way I think the dress looks great...
yes! go for it! i also have a straight neckline that i'm changing to a sweetheart. i think it adds a nice detail to the dress.
I would be worried about time. I also think it looks great as is!
i didn't vote because i'd suggest you do a "scoop" rather than a sweetheart. your current neckline has a slight scoop already, making it deeper will look very nice and i think fits the dress style better than a sweetheart neckline.
Don't do it! Sure, sweetheart necklines are pretty, but there isn't enough time to avoid a potential disaster. Maybe you can focus on your accessories.
Or, how about a SOFT sweetheart? I think that would be better...and involve less risk if you're nervous about it.
I love sweathearts but i think the dress is great as is. The neckline of the dress runs great with the other lines and ruffels of the dress. I wouldnt change it. You look great now.
