Let me know what you think! It only cost me $99 - I was thrilled to find a good one for so cheap! I wanted a simple dress yet one that is still beautiful at the same time. I want to look great and I need some honest opinions on the dress from people who aren't going to worry about my feelings. Thanks guys!

Yes, that is me in all those pictures. And I had to hold the back of the dress because it needs to be taken in at the top... that's why I'm standing like that!

I like the dress but the thing looks a little big on you. I think a sweetheart neckline would look better on you but if you like the dress, go for it. Most of the sizing problems can be fixed at an alteration shop. I think a long long double veil, one that reaches your hips, with crystals that match the dress would be so pretty with that. But overall, the dress looks great. Make sure to get it altered! The dress will look a ton better when you shorten the torso line a little and have it taken in in the waist and a little in the chest. A good fit will make up for almost any other problems. Hope this helps!

Beautiful dress - elegant simplicity with abundant class. If it needs to be taken in, be sure they keep that hour-glass waist!
You have the classic looks to bring 'em to their knees. The simple elegant cut, with just the right amout of beading. In my opinion you could have spent 10 times that and still NOT gotten a more perfect dress. Remember that "the wedding dress" is much more than just the dress. The dress is very important, but it is only "part" of the bride.
Keep a tan, but not too dark. Experiment with simple but elegant up-do hairstyles to accentuate your neck and shoulders. Keep the veil "out of the way" - by that I mean, not wrapped around your shoulders, or over your face. Allow veil to accentuate, NOT compete.
Somewhat small, un-busy jewelry, but something that does happen to make a statement. DIAMONDS and (maybe) PEARLS, but reservedly. Natural or French nails - no color. Don't over do your makeup, but remember to do lashes, lips, and blush a bit heavier (it washes out in the photos).
Above all, remember this: the dress does not make the bride, the bride makes the bride, and, little one, you look as though you can complete the elegant, classic, memorable bride.

I think it looks really nice on you. I'm sure once its altered it will look even more beautiful. Because of all the detail on the top of your dress I'd wear a blusher veil (if you plan to wear one at all, as i'd worry about the tulle getting caught). A nice pair of drop earrings and wearing your hair half up would definitely complete the look.
Congrats!

It's a beautiful dress and it looks good on you. How lucky for you that you were able to find a dress that you like and looks good for such a low price. With the price of the altering you still got a great deal.

The dress is beautiful and it looks very nice on you. Once it is fitted properly to you it will look even better. Think about a big slip and wearing your hair up that day. You are going to be a beautiful bride. Congrats and good luck.

It's nice. I can't really tell what the sequins are...are they like little flowers or gatherings of sequins?
It fits you good, but I would get it taken up some at the end because it is dragging too much. A nice flow on the ground would be nice, but yours kinda looks like it doesn't fit! Soo, when you go to fix the top (where you're holding) ask them if they can bring that up an inch or two....
That's a great dress for $99!!

Hello, I'm going to be honest, It's very becoming on you and it's a very nice dress. I wouldnt buy it for myself because it's not the kind of style that I would wear but it's nice on you. Do you have a vail or are you using a different type of head dress. Good luck with your upcoming event.

It needs some alterations on the top part to get a better fit and definately a crinole but for 99 bucks its gorgeous :)
I would suggest a very simple veil...not one with alot of sparkle. Probably a fairly simple head piece as well....if not it might look like you tripped and fell into a bucket of glitter and got covered head to toe.
