MemberHi bees,
Like many bees before me, I’m facing the conundrum of whether or not to modify my dress into a sweetheart. Sorry, I have no pics of me in the dress yet. And please excuse my crude editing in Paint. But i think you get the general idea.
Thanks for your input! xoxo
MemberNormally I’m all about the sweetheart, but not with this dress. It is gorgeous as-is. The lovely tiers of the dress help to support the kind of neckline it already has; the sweetheart interferes with the empire waistline just below the bust.
MemberPersonally, I’ve always thought it’s classier without the Sweetheart neckline (just my opnion).
HostessI personally love the sweetheart neckline, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the dress as-is. How do you feel about yourself in the different necklines? I think that may be the more important question. Have you tried on dresses with sweetheart and without?
Member@Gemstone: No, i actually haven’t!! I ordered this dress online without even trying it on because I found such an amazing deal, I couldn’t resist! It’s at my mom’s house now, she lives about an hour away and I haven’t had a chance to try it on yet. I’ve actually never tried on any dress with a sweetheart neckline, but they seem flattering on most people. I’m not very busty, so I don’t think a sweetheart would look to revealing or anything like that on my shape. I guess I will just have to try it on and then see. 🙂
Thanks for your input, everyone!
MemberThe style of your dress doesn’t really go with a sweetheart neckline. It’s beautiful btw!
Member@hopefloats: Thanks! 🙂 I guess i’m not good at knowing what styles look good with a sweetheart… I do like the fact that my dress is simple & sweet, so I should probably leave it alone. Although i do really want to hack off the train…..
MemberHi everyone – me again. I’m also curious to hear your opinions on the train. I am not a fan of trains. The ceremony is going to be in grass, a casual backyard affair. I’d love to just chop this train right off…. My mom thinks it’s gorgeous though. What do you guys think? I could always leave a very small train…just not so long. Thoughts?
Here is a picture of a dress I love with no train. It has tiers like mine, so I’m hoping for a similar look.
MemberI think that the tiers help mirror the existing neckline so I wouldn’t change the neckline.
MemberI personally think it looks nice with both necklines but I definitely prefer going without the train. 🙂
MemberNeckline: sweetheart would clash with the straight lines in the tiers of the dress, I wouldn’t change it unless you try the dress on and the straight top look awkward on you for some reason.
Train: mine was about that long, and I left it un-bustled for the day. It got pretty dirty, but it didn’t really get in the way.
