Yowza, that looks good on you! Would it be possible to find a mermaid dress in your size, just to try it out? Even if it's not the dress you intend to buy? That way, you could take it through the motions of walking around, sitting, and dancing, just to see if it'll be comfortable for you.
Hi J,
Love the dress, its actually very similar to mine, I have a pronovias. Those are not mermaid style, they are called trumpet style becasue they do not open under your knees.
They are more restrictive (I was super concerned cause I wore one once and could barely walk) but they are not too much because the movement usually flows from the knees. I danced in it while trying it on a second time and had no problems, as long as you are not putting your fiances knees in between yours for reggeaton ;)
It is a very sliming style, makes you look curvy and sexy, without being too bad. and you look beautiful in it :)
Im going to be completely honest here and i hope I dont offend you! I think that dress is cutting you in the wrong place. I think it would look soooo much better if it started flaring out a little higher and was a drop waist instead of a mermaid. I think your figure would be flattered so much better. As far as the mermaid dress goes, I like how they look in pictures and advertisement, but not in person. I always feel that if you made them fitted enough to look good you wouldnt be able to move. In pictures they are always skin tight, because the model doesnt need to sit down or move. In real life they have to leave some wiggle room and I always feel like the bride looks like her dress is baggy in the back! Thats just how I feel anyway.
First of all, love the dress on you! It is so fitting for a beach wedding, the ruffles remind me of waves. I think you'll be fine with the correct size as far as walking...work it, it's for you!
That dress is so pretty that it shouldn't matter whether you can move in it or not :P
Two thumbs up - waaay up! You look fantastique! I *puffyheartwithglittah* your dress, too.
@Tulip: LOL @ "That dress is so pretty that it shouldn't matter whether you can move in it or not :P!" You sound like a girl after my own heart.
p.s. I logged in just to be able to tell you how great the dress looks! :D
You look so hot in that dress, I say you wear it whether you can walk in it or not!!!! 
Awww! Thanks so much for all the responses guys! You're amazing!!! 
I didn't even think of going to try on other mermaid dresses in my size to see if I can sit in it, so that was a great sugestion. As soon as I put the dress on, I couldn't stop smiling, so I know it's the one for me, I was just a little concerned about movement. LOL to tulip and honeybun those were exactly my thoughts, but I figured to be practical and ask other brides/brides to be.
I think it looks great. To me its flattering and suited to your theme..I say go for it..try it on in your size and see if you can walk in it, if so go for it
i dedicated an entire post on curvy women in mermaid styles and you should post your picture in there because you are proof that the style needs curves to rock it!! and it's stunning on you... who needs to walk :P seriously i posted suggestions in your other post...
You look great! It's the type of dress that hits all the right curves (yikes I hope I don't sound too creepy!)
very pretty! I say as long as you are somewhat comfortable go for it! I think there should be some concern for comfort, but that is not my primary concern lol. I dont get the whole I want to be comfortable so i want pockets on my wedding dress. Im willing to sacrafice some comfort for beauty on my wedding day, and you look hot in that dress so get it!
It looks great on you. How do you feel in it? One of the things they say you should always do when trying on dresses is mimic all the various actions that you will likely do on the wedding day: walking around, dancing, bending over, etc. to see how well the dress cooperates.
I personally agree with dancer22. This style of dress looks uncomfortable in real person...and if the bride is uncomfortable, you can read it on her face during the wedding.
girl, thay dress is fiya! I tried on mermaid but I couldn't move! And we are having a huge dancing reception so... that couldn't happen. But it just depends on what you plan on doing in it. It looks great on you!
Just had to agree with everyone else and say that you look amazing in that dress!!
I'm wearing a mermaid dress, with a flower and net in my hair as well. I think you look STUNNUNG!!!
Love the mermaid dress on you!! I'm a mermaid bride too also in the Carribbean, in Aruba!!! What about you!? You look gorgeous!!
I think it looks amazing! If it feels restricting you might be able to move the point where it flares up a few inches to give you a little wiggle room (one of the bees did this).
You look gorgeous! Who cares if it is a little restrictive when you look FANTASTIC! it will feel better when they size it for u
You definitely look happy and excited! It looks great and you feel great and it shows!!! go with your heart :)

Hi everyone out there,
I found a mermaid dress that I absolutely LOVE and it looks great on but I don't know if it's going to be comfortable to wear on the day of or super restrictive. The lady at the store says it is sort of restictive but not so much where I have trouble walking. The one I'm trying on is clearly not my size, so it's hard for me to tell. Has anyone wore a mermaid style dress for their wedding and have any opinions about it? I'm getting married on the beach in the Caribbean. Help??
