EW9848 via David’s Bridal – Taffeta jewel neck ball gown featuring side pockets. .
I can’t tell if I’m really digging this dress or not. I imagine it would be great short, but would I just look like a muffin with boobs from the front? OTOH, I totally dig the back, and for $399, with the opportunity to get it on sale through next week, I might find I think I might go try it on. But GEEZ to I hate David’s Bridal BARN. Ugh. It’s probably more of a swooshy monstrosity than a thing of beauty in person, right?
PS- I never did try it on
Tried the dress on yesterday– I fell in love with it. Unfortunately they can’t ship it in time :(
This is the wedding dress I chose for myself and it’s lovely. No polyester. It’s Taffeta. Try it. You’ll love it.
Pockets – now there is a idea. You can carry your lip gloss with you all night long and make sure you look good for every shot.
i bought this dress. it’s comfy and light. my only issue is what to do about a bra-it’s backless. any ideas?
@Anabela, I don’t think it’s quite backless, but it is low-ish cut in the back. I’d suggest trying it on with your favorite strapless bra and spanx or a good low-back bustier/corset if you can find one. I also found the COOLEST yet weirdest feat of engineering for boobs: stick on breast lifts, Bring It Up, and you won’t even have to worry about trimming them under a high necked dress like this! If you’re comfortable with it, you can just wear the Bring It Ups, and no bra, but I’m a busty girl and require a strapless AND the stick-ons, but then I don’t go around tugging up my bra and repositioning my boobies all night. We all know how unattractive that looks!
I love this dress! As soon as I put it on, I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s a happy dress – the very feeling I want to have at my wedding – not heavy and jewel encrusted. Light and twirly and happy. I already had another wedding dress and tried this one on just for fun. Took less than 2 seconds to decide to buy it. The pictures do not do it justice.
I bought this dress for my big day and I couldn’t agree more with what Rita said.. I put it on and just felt SO MUCH happiness and my smile was just giant. I didn’t know it had pockets until the lady helping me told me when I was looking in the mirror. I squealed and said “THIS IS IT!!!!” It’s perfect and comfortable and beautiful and just… me.
