After a major surgery on my leg a couple of years ago I got really depressed and started eating and gaining weight like crazy. But I decided to reclaim my life so over the last year I've lost roughly 50lbs. I still have a bit more to lose before I feel like my old self. However I've started trying on some dresses in order to get a feel for what style works best. It has been a little disheartening because it's hard not to see this "ugly" person in the mirror especially when certain styles I like just don't work on me(at least not now, maybe not ever)
But despite all of that I have found a few that I really love. Yeah this will probably be a bit of a pick me up post, I'll be honest(but who doesn't need a pick me up) BUT I'm not the most objective person when it comes to how things look on me. These are mostly the same similar style but I was just curious as to which you think looks best.
Our wedding venue is on a local farm/nature preserve.
Allure gown-can't find the style number
Beautiful slim a-line lace gown with keyhole back. mid-size train
Watters-Ava
Slightly more full a-line gown. Beautiful lace up top that slowly fades into an organza skirt. Sweet sash with beautiful flowers. Flowly and light. Very little/virtually no train
Maggie Sottero-Geneva
A-line with fairly significant train and beautiful flowers all over
WToo-Emerson
Very unique but simple dress. It has an interesting criss cross lace pattern and a beautiful band of lace underneath the chest. Very light and no train.
The Maggie dress is a beautiful dress and it looks simply stunning on you!
wow - congratulations on the weight loss - you should be very proud of yourself!
I voted the Maggie Sottero as I think its very pretty but also the most flattering to your new slimling figure!
I voted for the Maggie, too. It's beautiful and you wear it so well! Also, judging from your body language in the pictures, it seems to be the one you are most comfortable in. In the other pictures you look like you are pulling at them.
wow - congratulations on the weight loss - you should be very proud of yourself!
I voted the Maggie Sottero as I think its very pretty but also the most flattering to your new slimling figure!
The Geneva just looks beautiful...also, I have the isadora Ann for my reception dress and it has those flowers, and they are ah-maz-ing!!!! Perfect for a natural setting :)
@KaylaY: I love the Maggie, you look stunning in it!!!
h and this is a pic of isadora ann
I can't vote for the Maggie enough times it looks like it was made for you :)
even tho i have the other version of the allure dress you have on it dosent look any where near as stunning as the Maggie Sottero-Geneva ... that is your dress its amazingggg on you !!!
WOw the mAggie dress looks amazing on you.. And although you may not feel completely satisfied with how you look yet, by these pics, I thnk you look amazing.. Your figure is adorable and I think you carry yourself very well! My choice is #3 dress!
I LOVE the way you look in the Geneva. The others are lovely, also, but I think the Geneva is most flattering to you.
Congratulations on losing that much weight! That is quite an accomplishment!
I think the maggie dress looks best on you, with the watters dress coming in a close second. :)
The dresses are all really pretty but the Maggie is sooo flattering on you!!
I like the Allure and Maggie the best. They all look great though!
The Maggie gown for sure! It looks like it was made for you. I literally gasped when I saw it.
And for the record, you look fantastic! :)
I took one look at the Maggie and went "OMG! That is so her dress!" It fits you perfectly and you look stunning in it! :)
Congratulations on your weightloss!! The maggie dress definitely compliments your figure and is absolutely gorgeous! The lace dress would be my second choice! :)
Wow thank you guys so much for all your opinions and compliments.
I definitely am proud of myself for losing the weight, Right now I'm 5"3 and roughly 165. I'm hoping to get down to 120. Obviously I'm not comfortable where I'm at but I don't want to lose too much weight and then become uncomfortable because I feel I'm too skinny.
I've always been atheletic and curvy. Before I had my leg operated on I LOVED my body so I'm hoping to achieve that level of confidence again. But it'll take some work because I've become very critical of myself.
Anyway thanks again you guys!
you look great! Congrats on the weight loss.
My fave is the Maggie
The Maggie dress look so beautiful on you! Congrats on your weight loss too, you've lost so much weight so far!
@KaylaY: I think you're absolutely gorgeous the way you look in those pictures! You have wonderful feminine curves that a lot of women would pay for! :)
My gosh the Geneva is amazing on you! May I also suggest trying on a few natural waist gowns to see how they look with your body type? I have a feeling they would look great as well :)
Would you mind providing a suggestion? I'm getting a lot of conflicting things when I search for natural waist wedding gowns.
I definitely like the Maggie the best. It's a beautiful gown, and it looks wonderful on you!
I think that the maggie dress is the most flattering on you, it is a beautiful dress.
I adore Ava but the Maggie dress looks AMAZING on you - I say that one all the way!
the Maggie looks AMAZING on you!
OMG I literally gasped and said 'Oh WOW!' when I saw the Maggie on you.
It's just DIVINE on you! Buy it! NOW!
The other dresses look boring on you compared to that one!
(You have to buy the Maggie now, lol!)
