First wedding as an adult- which dress?
I just got these dresses in the mail, and was expecting to dislike both, so I had carts full of dresses from other stores. I actually really like both of them but want opinions before I commit and/or order more.
October wedding with a “black tie optional” dress code. The only other requirement is that no one wears the wedding parties colors.
I’m not wearing the correct undergarments in either dress. The blue one is definitely sitting a bit low, but the straps are apart of the lace up back so they can be adjusted. The pink dress would definitely need to be hemmed, the blue one most likely also would but it’s a little shorter so I could potentially get away with not hemming it if I had the right pair of heels.
Neither of them look as good in the pictures as they do in person (of course lol) I just took these quickly to send to my mom because she usually has strong opinions, but she’s torn as well! My boyfriend said the blue one looked better in person.
The blue one might be a little more comfortable, but it’s a negligible difference. The straps on the blue are thinner and I’m quite large chested so that might make the straps a little uncomfortable throughout the night. The pink one would definitely require some spanx, as it’s a little snug in the stomach region. I’m also worried that the pink one will photograph as a weird color. It’s like almost too light- but not really? I also currently am a lot tanner than I will be come October, so I’d definitely need a spray tan if I went with the pink. I’m also noticing that the both dress lay entirely different on me than they do on the models since my chest is much bigger. However if I sized up in either dress, they would be too big everywhere else.
The only other concern would be if I wear the blue, my boyfriend would have to get a navy blue suit (is that correct? I imagine it would look silly in pictures if he’s wearing black and I’m wearing navy blue?) but he’d also have to buy a bla
