I worry my bridal gown is too revealing for my in-laws – people say ‘too bad, so sad’ if they don’t like it
A BRIDE-TO-BE has revealed that she’s had second thoughts about her wedding dress due to its plunging neckline.
She bought the stylish V-neck ivory gown for her upcoming nuptials and knew it was the one — but it’s not exactly modest.
She shared a photo of herself wearing the figure-hugging dress as she asked Reddit users for their opinions.
She said that she had already shown it to her fiancé and is now in the process of looking for a dress that’s easier to dance in for the reception.
“Went shopping with my mom and her friend for my first ever dress appointment, and ended up buying the first dress I tried on!” she said.
“Not before trying on 15 others, but I wasn’t expecting to get anything (at David’s Bridal of all places).
“Totally surprised me, but we all thought it was great for me, the vibe, and the time of year (NYC rooftop wedding next March).
“Hoping it’s not too much boob for my in-laws, but with some tailoring and maybe losing some weight (who knows) I feel pretty good!”
David Bridal’s floral jacquard v-neck wedding dress in ivory is currently reduced from $699 to $499.99.
As well as the plunging neckline, it features a square open back for a “statement” look from every angle.
It has a perfect five-star rating from shoppers and has sold out in most sizes due to its popularity.
“Hoping it’s not too much boob,” the bride-to-be said.
A stream of responses to the Reddit post tried to reassure her that the wedding dress flattered her figure.
However, some admitted they wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing it for their own big day.
“Well, ‘too much’ is subjective, so I have no opinion there, but the top fits very well,” one person wrote.
“I have a very similar body type and wish I was brave enough to show the girls,” another said. “You look great!! It’s a beautiful dress.”
“Looks gorgeous! Embrace it!” a third chimed in.
“I have big boobs and I’m fully embracing them on the big day, because I can’t avoid them, and covering them up made me look frumpy and old-fashioned.”
“I think you look great & are showing the perfect amount of what you feel comfortable in!” a fourth added.
“Too bad, so sad for anyone who doesn’t love it.
“I feel like it’s your day & you feel like you shine, rock it!
“Also, totally NOT being a creep, but you have a great set, so I vote, flaunt them while they’re still perfectly perky!”
Another commenter advised the bride to consider how she will feel in the dress when she’s interacting with her wedding guests.
“If you are embarrassed to hug your father-in-law, then it’s too much,” they wrote.
“I personally think you look amazing, but would also not be comfortable wearing that myself.”
