Hello everyone,
My dress finally came in. It is the Maggie Sottero Kendra dress. I love it!!
Now I am not sure if I should add a crystal belt to it or leave it the way it is.
I feel the back is so beautiful but the front is lacking. Basically, I am trying to make it look similar to the Adorae dress but with more poof bottom.
What does everyone think??

I think that Kendra looks beautiful on her own, and that it becomes a preference issue. It looks beautiful with the sash (in fact there are threads in WB of girls who have added the sash to Kendra), but also without! 🙂

I’m a Kendra bride and have the same thinking about a beaded sash…I was looking in many local stores for the sash but nobody carry it…btw I found some preatty ones at etsy.com but I’m not sure that someone match at all…I have the same confusion! : S

IMO, the dress is absolutely stunning on it’s own, and a sash may take away from the design/structure.

IMO, I dont think that it would look good with a belt.
It is beautiful as it is! =)

Thanks everyone for their feedback.
I am worried that if I buy a crystal sash I will not like it after but on the otherhand, it works very well for the adorae dress. Decisions, Decisions!
Such a small silly thing to worry about!
I am interested in getting something like this and putting it under the bust just like the adorae and having it go the way around to be sewed into the dress:

or even a small applique under the bust like this one:

Any other thoughts?

I went hunting for the threads on kendra that I was speaking of.
Here’s one of them…

Hope it helps seeing a Kendra with the sash!

i think it looks good either way but if you decide to choose one, you dont want it over powering the dress, its a really nice dress by its self!!!!
