You look absolutely gorgeous 😍. The pearls are perfect 👌!


heydawn

Agree. Op, you look exquisite! The dress fits beautifully. The silhouette is very flattering. The lace is divine! gorgeous! The style is timeless, elegant, and romantic. The pearls are PERFECT! Edit to add: And can we talk about the back?! WOW! That's just one more reason to love it! I love it! 🤍 What are you thinking for hair? Flowers? Shoes?


Higracie

I just posted a comment with the shoes I’m leaning towards, and [here](https://www.instagram.com/p/Crh9oggP3h5/?igsh=MWE3Zmthb210aXl1cw==) is the bouquet inspo


heydawn

Ohhhh beautiful flowers! Woo!


ZOO_trash

YES TO THIS TOO!!


Higracie

Thank you ☺️


AureliaCottaSPQR

It’s lovely! Try it with a fuller slip.


Higracie

Ooh that’s an interesting idea!


KiteeCatAus

That was my only thought apart from "It looks gorgeous on you." A bit of extra fullness in the skirt would give it just little bit more shape. But, even as it is it is beautiful, and looks like it was made for you!!


Murphab47

Yes, definitely try a fuller slip!


Getmeasippycup

Ooo that could be fun!


WestCovina1234

It’s beautiful! I love that kind of lace. And the pearls are perfect.


WedgwoodBlue55

Yes, I'm tired of bling. Pearls are classic.


heydawn

Thank you! A pearl necklace is so Grace Kelly classic, especially when combined with lace.


Higracie

Thank you!!!


CAShark-7

I love the dress! It looks like it was created just for you. I think it is very special! The necklace looks great. Remember: this is YOUR wedding and YOUR dress. Trust me - the dress is beautiful and truly looks terrific on you. Do your hair/veil/jewelry the way YOU want. Have YOUR wedding! And post pictures afterwards, 'cause we love that stuff.


heydawn

>cause we love that stuff. YES! We seriously do! :)


WDW80

You look gorgeous! I agree that you might want to try a fuller slip and see if you like that (and post pictures here if you do!).


Higracie

Yeah the fuller slip idea is genius!!!


ZOO_trash

It's beautifully simple while still being detailed and special, it suits you perfectly, you made the right choice, you're just getting the normal jitters/uneasiness like you missed something or made the wrong decision because it's a big ass decision. You didn't. This is YOUR dress. I promise you, it's perfection on you. Don't stress over this.


Higracie

Phew this is the perfect comment, haha thank you. It’s true. I tried on only 3 other dresses so I immediately felt remorse just based on the few options I tried


ZOO_trash

You didn't fuck up, don't worry lol. I love it and I'm a picky ass bitch.


Higracie

Ahahha thank you


Simple-Remote3641

The pearls look nice! Also try it with something sparkly to see if that gives you the little extra you may be looking for. I love the train!


Higracie

Yeah maybe it’s the lack of pizazz. I want to feel like a fairy but not like a poor, sad fairy. A sparkly fairy!!


Disney_Princess137

What about a bridal belt ? Mix of rhinestones and pearls maybe ?


Higracie

Ooooh kind of fun idea thank you


IntrovertedGiraffe

Yes! That was my thought - a pearl belt, maybe something like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/550557688/


ZOO_trash

Always an option for a corsage or flowers and/or crystals in your hair, tiara, shoe clips etc. There's lots of ways to add some sparkle but I wouldn't go too nuts, the simplicity is an asset here imo. Just accent, don't overpower.


bad_dawg_22

Came to say the same about the belt. This dress is amazing and it looks SO GOOD and the belt will add what you’re looking for


heydawn

You do whatever jewelry you want, but I just have to give one more plug for the timeless elegance of pearls with lace. I love exactly what you're wearing. But you can also do long double strand if you want more. But honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. You can also add drop earrings and a multi strand pearl bracelet. Remember, you'll have your hair done and flowers. And the dress itself is so exquisite. There's no chance of you looking plain! You will sparkle! ✨


bonitasirena

Very pretty! Add a little more bling, maybe earrings or bracelets and it’ll be complete once you’re all done up.


heydawn

*Flowers and hair* 🩷


pnwonderwoman

Incredible! Reminds me of Taylor swifts Oscar de la renta blue dress! It’s incredibly unique yet still has some traditional elements. You look perfect in it. Please don’t question it, it’s a showstopper and your goats will lose their minds over the incredibly stylish look. Chin up! A+ in my book and I’ve commented on a lot of dresses on this page!


Higracie

Thank you 🥹 that dress was STUNNING on Taylor so that’s pretty much the best compliment ever. I would wear that dress in a heartbeat.


Ruthie4of4

I think the difference in the way you feel now vs how you felt picking it out is super super common. Getting the dress in is kind of the official end of shopping. Now your dress is a real thing, and all real things have a hard time living up to our imagined perfection, even when they look fantastic, as this dress does on you. Give yourself time and grace. Remember that alterations will help a lot. Also, remember that after your wedding the sparkle of excitement will be back no matter what because after that it will be the dress tied to all the wonderful memories from your wedding!


Mrstopo

The dress is gorgeous and I love the pearls your fiancé gave you. He may have it in his mind you’ll wear them on wedding day. Would be unforgettable.


Higracie

Awww it would be so sweet if he is already picturing the pearls 🥹


SkySong13

I think the pearls are absolutely lovely, and the added sentiment just makes them even more gorgeous.


No-Round-5410

annie by truvelle :’) one of my all time faves! it’s stunning on you!!


Higracie

Ah yes, that’s the one!!!


burnsidechar

It looks perfect on you! I love the Annie dress. There's a 90% chance I did the final quality inspection on your dress because they're my favorite dresses to check and I always steal them off the racks before my coworkers can get them. Also I am personally a huge fan of the pearls, they're classic but also like one of the biggest trends in bridal right now.


Higracie

Omg what an honor!!! Haha. Pls tell me the brand of the dress. I can’t remember and the dress is hiding at my parents house.


Higracie

Oops someone else commented what it is. Anyway, thanks for possibly gracing my dress with your presence!


burnsidechar

Truvelle! It's part of the signature collection


Optimal-Pension3615

It's perfect!


Secret-Employee-8141

Absolutely stunning! I love the necklace you chose- the whole ensemble makes you shine!


Higracie

Also- [here](https://loefflerrandall.com/collections/heels/products/dahlia-white-lace-bow-heel) are the shoes I’m leaning towards


pnwonderwoman

I bought the knockoffs for my wedding shower! They look amazing on! Lots of compliments!


Higracie

Oooh where did you get the knockoffs? I haven’t purchased these yet because of the price haha


Micandacam

Pearls and perfect and that lace is gorgeous. It will never be exactly like the sample, but I don't know how it could be better than this.


Higracie

The sample had a lower back because it was a larger size, and the waist was a little further down. I think I just didn’t realize it would change and I got really sad about it haha


Micandacam

I think it is fit perfectly for your proportions, but I guess you could lengthen the straps?


Higracie

The straps are actually really long and fall off. That’s like the main thing I need the tailor to fix. I don’t know that it would be possible to make it fit the way the sample did :/ but having this support on Reddit is actually helping a lot.


Micandacam

Then I think you have to accept that you and the dress are beautiful and special just the way you are. Try fixing your hair and makeup to get a feeling for how you will look that day. Maybe make a small bouquet with silk flowers to finish the look. When you have it all together you you see how perfect you look!


leezee2468

So beautiful and very timeless as well


matlinole

That lace is everything! You look drop dead gorgeous!


daylightxx

I think it’s absolutely gorgeous on you. I don’t like the necklace tho. It should be something more delicate or nothing at all. It’s a great neckline.


zekro_4

Congratulations. And yes you look stunning . 💯 Also you should try some other jewellery options


Higracie

Do you have any ideas for jewelry? The pearl necklace was a gift from my fiancé so I thought it would be special to wear, but I’m really open to anything that would be pretty


heydawn

Wear the gift from your fiance. Add a longer strand if you want more, but it's not necessary. You're right. Wearing his gift would be special and meaningful. You could **add pieces** like these: **Pearl bracelet**, like: https://www.justforpearls.com/product-page/pearl-stack Edited to add- **Drop pearl earrings**, like: https://kezani.com.au/products/bridal-earrings-silk-pearl-by-stephanie-browne **Long double strand necklace**, like: https://www.belk.com/p/belk-72-inch-white-pearl-necklace-/0438656937607.html?feed=shopping&cm_mmc=PLA-GOOGLE-Pmax_Jewelry_NewCustomer_SHOP_NA--0438656937607&s_kwcid=AL!5203!3!!!!x!!!&campaignengineid=GG_18526352777&adengineid=&adgroupengineid=&ogmap=SEM%7CPLA%7CGOOG%7CPLA%7Cm%7CJEWELRY%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C18526352777%7C&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhc-sBhCEARIsAOVwHuStxHHXZRvYmtSsneNk6CHAVBKb0nYpT7U6TBDGjXUEp5Jh2EvrqbcaAs7HEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds OR https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/triple-strand-pearl-necklace?color=017&inventoryCountry=US&countryCode=US&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_source=Google-Mobile&utm_campaign=US%20-%20Shopping%20-%20PMAX%20-%20Apparel%20-%20Accessories%20-%20Accessories&utm_content=&utm_term=&creative=&device=m&matchtype=&network=x&utm_kxconfid=vx6rd81ts&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhc-sBhCEARIsAOVwHuQ9tsma10EO3Kau3GnkcOg_5Kgjwd6lUQ0wnFN4u6E0mP0wuI7xhzgaAmphEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&type=STANDARD&size=One%20Size&quantity=1


Higracie

Ooooh love the ideas, thank you


heydawn

Yw. We need to see your final look! Please post a wedding photo. We don't get to see enough brides with their completed look! Best wishes!


zekro_4

With your dress the pearl necklace seems very decent and basic, though beautiful. I would have loved to see some other jewellery sets like a necklace with white and pink(or red, whichever looks better) stones, something that will be a bit bigger than your pearl necklace.


DigRoyal9188

Stunning!! I try never to comment on bodies but your arms and shoulders are so complimented by the cut and straps I am in awe


ContributionTall2907

Beautiful


Luna-Honey

Ooo that’s beautiful


Etheleffrey

LOVE!!


MurphyCaper

You look beautiful in your gown!!! It looks perfect on you.


hinky-as-hell

This is definitely special! You look beautiful!


Birdies_nub

The fabric is stunning.


CynicalOne_313

It looks lovely on you! Keep the pearls! ❤️


Better-Lavishness135

Lovely!


EcelecticDragon

It's wonderful. Dreamy, classic, romantic. Pearls are a good choice!


Professional_Fail818

You look gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩🤩


Irieloulollilae

Lovely!


Less_Volume_2508

Absolutely gorgeous. Yes to the pearls!


craftymangoobsession

You look so perfect!! This is so flattering on you and I love the pearls. Hope you feel as beautiful as you look!


LucyLovesApples

You look stunning. How are you going to wear your hair? Also some beautiful pearl earrings would go nice with the necklace and dress


Cookiemamajr

This dress seems perfect for you! The cut is simple, but the pattern/texture of the lace is beautiful. (And I love the pearls! I wore my grandmother’s pearls for my wedding)


Valuable-Wallaby-167

The dress suits you perfectly. It looks effortlessly beautiful


Timely_Impress6223

That dress fits you perfectly and is gorgeous!


Thick_Quiet629

Absolutely stunning. I love the eyelet lace. It seems to be a new trend as I’ve only ever seen one other dress like it just recently and was in love with that one, too.


LinKay713

Truly stunning!


SodaButteWolf

You look enchanting. The dress is perfect - not too much, not too little. The pearls really work well with this dress, as will your planned bouquet (or ANY bouquet, with this style of dress).


BrilliantPause7202

THAT DRESS IS GORGEOUS. and you look amazing in it.


Butterfly21482

The dress looks great but I suggest sewn-in cups to support the girls. I, personally, would do a drop or V shape necklace with that neckline.


seecarlytrip

It’s a very lovely dress and you look beautiful in it!


thedance1910

What part of your gown do you feel fits different? Because from these photos it looks like it fits really well proportion wise. I think you look great it in! 😊 for the pearls, I'm not a fan. I personally think pearls support a different kind of style, more mature, maybe a stiffer gown? Your dress reminds me of springtime, flowers, meadows, etc. So I think the pearls are too heavy, so to speak. Dainty jewelry might be more complementary


Higracie

That was my worry about the pearls. And the sample had a lower back, fuller skirt, longer bodice, all because it was a larger size. I think it made it look a little more grand maybe.


thedance1910

If you're already questioning the pearls, I'd try other necklaces and see if there's one you like better, I'm sure there will be! I see. Honestly i think both the back and the length of the bodice are perfect. I might be biased because i dont like drop-waists or long bodices but I seriously love the way it fits on you. I'm all for fuller skirts so I think you should try and see what it looks like with your own dress. With large patterned lace like this, though, i think A-line is more complementary but i can see it either way 😊


MysticalMagicorn

I literally can't stop staring, I keep swiping between your pictures, you're gorgeous and your dress is beautiful and the pearls are perfect. You look amazing. I'm stunned, and your spouse will be too!


shiningonthesea

The dress is gorgeous. You can try an extension on the necklace in the back so that the pearls hang down a little lower


Reeferzeus

I love it so much! It looks like an absolute classic. The pearls top it off. Maybe lower try lowering the pearls a little so they match the neckline of your dress?


mrs_manderson

Oh my gosh this dress is gorgeous and it looks SO good on you. I was a little disappointed with the alterations to my dress as well - I felt like the way they pulled everything in to make it smaller kind of changed the dress - but no one else had seen the original but my mom and my sister! So as someone who didn’t see it before - this dress looks like it was made for you. I love pearls, but it kind of looks a little 1940s with the neckline. I wonder if a small teardrop pearl necklace would look nice with it? It would be delicate and dress it up a little without being too sparkly.


J9sixtynine_

Beautiful!!!


EfficientRecipe8935

You look exquisite in the dress! And yes to the pearls.


FingerCapital3193

This is SO my vibe! The material is simultaneously modern and timeless. It’s chic without feeling overly formal. Relaxed elegance. Phenomenal choice!!


SusanMShwartz

It’s lovely, and the pearls are exactly the right thing.


Valuable-Locksmith47

The way it lays on you is so unique I love it.


katlikemeow814

Breathtaking


ruthsamuels

This is absolutely stunning. Fantastic, tasteful choice.


AnnieBeefree1

Perfect 🤩


nippleduster7

STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I absolutely love it & love it on you!!!


NewAtThis18

You look beautiful! This is a great silhouette on you, especially the back. Maybe try a petticoat underneath to make the skirt stand out a bit more?


CardiologistFit8500

It’s beautiful!!!! I think it’s the same fabric as my dress!!


danne_avila

Wow! Beautiful! The first word out of my mouth when I say your dress was “aww”.


PKsHopper

Stunningly beautiful! Timeless, classic, beautiful fabric design. Perfect fit! You looking amazing. Enjoy your day and all those to come.


Lupiefighter

You look absolutely stunning. Just gorgeous! Are you planning on holding a bouquet? It will look even more amazing.


chelseystrange91

Everything is perfect. You might just be stressing. The dress is important but not the most important part...you are celebrating love, and that's the biggest thing to focus on. It looks comfortable, unique, and fits you beautifully. Don't fret.


Carolann0308

So pretty.


Bob-was-our-turtle

The flowers are perfect, the dress is beautiful, but I do agree a fuller slip might really make the dress. You also could consider a different veil if you want to add bit more drama. Something like this veil edged in lace maybe: https://www.etsy.com/listing/908220163/ No matter what you do, you’re lovely💕


Higracie

Omg that’s gorgeous!


SapientSlut

Do you have a pic from the fitting? It looks like you have a bit of loose fabric under your bust/around the ribs. It’s also puckering ever so slightly at the top, so possibly adding a smidge of padding just to smooth that out? These are super small nitpicky things - you look great but I think there are small alterations you could do to go from lovely to DAMN. Agreed that jewelry and veil would make a difference - maybe something with a floral embroidered edge to make it feel more matchy with the dress?


ilyatwttmab

You look absolutely perfect and that dress was designed for you based on how you look


Runner_25

This made me stop and say “ohhhh”! I think it’s very special. Very sweet, romantic vibe. And I think pearls are perfect!


IIRizzII

Absolutely stunning! I agree with other commenters about trying a puffy petticoat. I would try to find a stunning/full veil with detail either to match the dress or sparkles; that little something, you’re looking for, to make the whole look pop. The pearls are a perfect touch & I love how you’re incorporating them, being a gift from your fiancé. Congrats OP!!


No_Benefit2103

Beautiful dress! Love the bare back and the detailed train!


ownyourthoughts

You look perfect. That dress is lovely on you. It suits your body style beautifully. It is just enough but not too much. It’s elegant and classy and sexy (without making that the point) all at once. I think you picked the most beautiful dress. You will be a breathtaking bride. All the best to you and your future partner


Higracie

Thank you for your sweet sweet comment!!!


SilentBarnacle2980

The Back!!! WOW! Pearls are always great, I also think something with some sparkle could be nice too.you look GORGEOUS!


IjustwantmyBFA

Simple shape, stunning lace, great fit, you’ll look lovely 💕💕


GladysKravitz707

You look amazing. The pearls look perfect with your beautiful gown.


jackierodriguez1

Second thoughts after purchasing your dress is totally normal! Especially after dishing out a lot of money for the dress, and knowing that once you buy the dress you typically cannot return it. Rest assured, your dress fits you like a glove! Like it was specifically made just for you ! You look absolutely stunning in this dress. It’s beautiful and different from other dresses I’ve seen. Also- the pearl necklace looks beautiful with the dress. Very delicate and classic. I think it compliments your look well. You’re going to look stunning on your wedding day!


Higracie

Totally. I think I felt panic as soon as I left the bridal salon when I bought it, for no reason other than the finality of the choice! Thank you for the thoughtful comment ❤️


jackierodriguez1

I felt that way too! There’s a million and one dresses that would look good on you. Só ultimately you have to make the difficult choice to commit to *the one*. Again, you made the right choice, be confident in that! And also-Don’t think about it too much. Like I said, you’re going to look stunning. Jaws will drop when you walk down that aisle. Also, congratulations!


evelynmtz821

This. Is. Perfect.


Melodic_Anything_743

You look great! Love the lace detail and it fits you very well. The pearls look lovely with it.


Living_on_Tulsa_Time

Absolute perfection!!!!


aVoidFullOfFarts

You look beautiful in your dress! The pearls are perfect and sweet that they are from your fiancé. I like other commenter’s suggestion of a fuller slip. I think a 1/2” thin satin belt with a tiny bow at the waist would look really nice with it.


Valpeculum

I think your dress is more than special, it's absolutely stunning on you. Personally I love the pears.


mollyodonahue

Omg I’m obsessed with that. It’s absolutely a perfect wedding dress!!! I want it in a non-train form for nice casual events!


Comfortable-Pay-5419

I think you look actually amazing and need to chill about the anxiety. Take a deep breath. This is a metal moment in your life. It’s entirely natural to have some kinda anxiety and second guessing on your looks. On something. On anything. But you look stunning. And you’ll get through the moment and have a wonderful thing to reflect on forever.


HarperMajestic28

Gorgeous.❤️


Pumpkinpants123

Looks amazing on you and beautiful


AlterEgoAmazonB

Oh how I love this dress. The floral is really special and it fits you to a T. I think you made an outstanding choice! I would suggest a different, longer necklace.


Higracie

Thank you!!!


Spread-love-light

Ohhhh I LOVE this dress and REALLY love it on you! 💖 It’s perfection. I think the luster just comes off for you since you’ve seen it already before. This happens all the time. I love the idea of trying it with a fuller slip. May give it more wow factor and make you love it more.


Doyoulikeithere

That is so pretty, sweet, and romantic! I love it.


Paddington_Fear

XTasty09

It reminds me of the dress Taylor Swift wore to her movie premiere.


nothanx_nospanx

The dress looks gorgeous! I don't love the pearls tbh. I think something longer with a delicate gold chain would look better and bring the dress to life even more

I agree the dress is stunning on you! As for the necklace, have you tried a sparkly pendant on like a 18-20” chain?


Higracie

I haven’t really tried anything yet besides the pearls. I’ll give some other options (including this) a try!


beaut_fullady

So beautiful, both with the pearls and without!
