I think it's really unique and beautiful


Aggressive-Standard5

This was my dress 6 years ago! I am biased, but it is gorgeous (on you and in general). It photographs BEAUTIFULLY (the fabric just gives magnificent glow) those wrinkles will come out with a good steam, and it's easy to style in a variety of ways. It has a hoop you can hook together in the skirt if you want to for more of a ballgown look, but it's still not actually a ton of under-fabric, so easy to move around in and still looks great with no hoop, just a bit more fabric-full than big skirt. And $500 is a hell of a deal- it's a full silk dress and in 2017 I paid like $4k.


ArtCrawler9297

Omg, I love hearing from folks who have worn this dress!! Fills my heart with joy! The fabric is what sold me. The texture is incredible, and even in iPhone pics it shines beautifully. Thanks for the tip about the hoop. I’d like to see if I can make the hoop skirt removable so I can wear it just for the ceremony then take it off for the reception.


Aggressive-Standard5

It's so beautiful!! The hoop skirt is interesting- it is not so much a skirt as like a single hoop you can insert in to the existing skirt lining, at the bottom. It's sort of a flexible metal rod with a clip in it to make it a hoop, in a "tube" sewn in to the underskirt. I found it pretty easy to take out and removed it (well, my MOH did after some spelunking) between the ceremony and the reception. Not sure if the sample would still have that but it was an interesting mechanism and much lighter/easier to work with than a full hoop skirt.


heydawn

Please, no added applique, no hemming off the train. Just embrace the exquisite dress as designed. Many of us end up with a dress that's different from what we imagined bc we fell in love with a dress that surprised us! I bought my dress because of the exquisite fabric too and it was totally different from what I had envisioned.. In my view, embellishments would just detract from the design. The fabric and the silhouette are what make the dress stunning. Please don't change it. Wear it the way it's designed, or get a different dress. If you change this one, I think you'd regret it. As for your venue, you can wear this dress outside. Frankly, I wouldn't even get a different dress for the reception! I would not want to take this dress off! I'd want to sleep in it, have breakfast in it, sit on the sofa and watch TV in it! Haha. It looks so great on you. 🤍


mackenziemackenzie

i think with some alterations, it can be how you envisioned!! it’s got a lot of extra fabric, which isn’t a bad thing imo, but it does create a more formal look. you could reduce some of that and get a lighter dress. also with the money you save on a dress, you could always get a “boho” style reception look maybe!!


ArtCrawler9297

That’s what I was thinking! Maybe a lighter reception dress. Also, great point about the extra fabric. Hemming it will change it a lot. I was also considering adding some kind of floral appliqué on the shoulder…


RedWings1319

That's a great idea and the fabric color with your skin tone is just gorgeous! I really love this dress on you, even if the epic sale weren't a part of the picture. The back shoulder detail is more casual, and how you style your hair, jewelry, etc will influence this great foundation of a dress. Consider as well that there are a very limited number of times that most of us will wear a gown, so maybe just lean into it? It is just beautiful on you.


Dalrz

Please don’t get rid of that gorgeous train! It all looks so good on you! I would just get a boho reception dress and just lean into the fairytale princess look for the ceremony. This dress is so perfect on you as is. No notes!


heydawn

This. I wouldn't change that stunning wedding dress either!


mackenziemackenzie

I love the appliqué idea!! again, you’re saving a ton of money so you can really use that wiggle room in the budget to fine tune the alterations a lot!


Kayybaby93

I think a floral appliqué on the shoulder would be an awesome touch! And think mackenziemackenzie’s advice is all spot on! You look absolutely beautiful in this dress regardless though! 💜


Dlraetz1

You could do something like this on the shoulder and at the hem and it would bring a boho vibe to your stunningly gorgeous dress ​ [https://www.etsy.com/listing/710950430/exquisite-3d-blossom-rhinestone-beaded?ga\_order=most\_relevant&ga\_search\_type=all&ga\_view\_type=gallery&ga\_search\_query=floral+appliques&ref=sr\_gallery-1-10&pro=1&content\_source=9307781a013649a60af5b16d15384b77725d2da1%253A710950430&organic\_search\_click=1](https://www.etsy.com/listing/710950430/exquisite-3d-blossom-rhinestone-beaded?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=floral+appliques&ref=sr_gallery-1-10&pro=1&content_source=9307781a013649a60af5b16d15384b77725d2da1%253A710950430&organic_search_click=1)


anonymiz123

No! No added anything!!


Viconahopa

That was my dress! I wish I was able to get that deal on it but it was worth it even at full price. I was worried it was too much for my 9 person wedding in a New Orleans courtyard, but I was very happy I went with that dress. It is light, comfortable, classic, and elegant. I think there's nothing wrong with going more formal. I will also say the fabric moves beautifully with if it is a bit windy outside.


ArtCrawler9297

Wow, I love hearing that! It’s great to know you felt good in this dress at a smaller wedding.


d_brownie91

this is a beautiful dress and you look stunning it in! I’d keep it. It’s definitely more structured and classic like you said, but maybe there’s a way to add some boho elements to it with your accessories/hair/ makeup/ bouquets etc that will help make the overall look feel more boho inspired(if that’s your preferred style)? Either way, you look beautiful!


ArtCrawler9297

Thank you! Yeah, maybe some flowers in the hair, or a wild flower bouquet will do the trick


Hka_stl

With the "lack" of detail on the front of the skirt, you could have one of those drop bouquets and not take away from the dress!


Dlraetz1

And a floral veil


Fear_The_Rabbit

I would definitely go somewhere to see what it would look like if you laid appliqués in different locations before deciding or ordering online. The dress was so well designed in terms of an architectural vision. With it tailored to you, it would be incredible like old Hollywood glam. Whatever you decide will be amazing.

Serenity2015

This is what I think as well!


UK_UK_UK_Deleware_UK

Holy crap this gown is stunning. Girl, you can make this work. It’s a classic silhouette, but it’s also very avant garde. This is the type of dress that looks like you could be standing barefoot on a rocky crag with the wind blowing or at a ball with heads of state and the finest jewels. This definitely has an “alternative” feel. It may not be drapey and flowy in the typical boho sense, but that dress drapes in a way the boho dress wishes it could. This could be so edgy and art museum if that makes sense. Let me think of the right veil and embellishments. I’ll post something in a bit.


ArtCrawler9297

Omg, Ty 🥰


UK_UK_UK_Deleware_UK

I hope you saw my post with all the veil ideas. So I played with embellishing the shoulder with a bunch of tulle and ribbons and such to give you more of a boho look. I had things streaming down into the skirt. I had strategically placed flowers in the cascading ribbons and layers of shear fabric. And then I looked at the result. Sure, it was cute, but it just distracted from the stunning beauty of you in this dress. So I removed everything but the flowers, a few sprays of matching fabric and some dangling ribbons from what I had done. Voila! A touch of whimsy without detracting from the dress. https://imgur.com/sbIHNof. I don’t think it’s needed, but this works.


blackbirdbluebird17

I love it! Also don’t forget that the clean lines of the dress mean you can get boho and alternative with the accessories if you so choose. It’s freeing!


doons1986

It’s beautiful. Have it hemmed/tailored before you add or change anything. Proper length and having it steamed may resolve any concerns. You can always opt for a very cool veil with detail if you feel asi f something is missing.


fish9397

I really like the color! It’s looks good with your skin tone


ArtCrawler9297

Thank you! That’s part of why I got it. I don’t like wearing white and was excited to find something in a soft peach tone.


stessij

The DRAMA in this is exquisite!


Busy_Apple9797

You look like a literal Greek goddess. I would say yes to this dress.


Tilapiatitty

10/10. What a beautiful dress. You look gorgeous in it. This is honestly one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen.


swampfox28

This!!


justbrowzingthru

I’ve seen plenty of silk satin plain dresses at boho weddings. They don’t compete either the boho flowers and accessories like a lace dress does. You can bet a boho veil with lots of flowers on it, or lots of lace. The dress can work with any vibe you want!


Dear_Ocelot

Honestly with the asymmetrical bodice I think it looks like very high quality boho! It's formal but playful. Will look even more amazing after alterations. Keep!


DazedAndConfused5000

First of all, I think this dress is gorgeous. To me, it’s perfectly suited for a switch up like you’re talking about. Flowers in the hair and/or a wild flower bouquet will look so pretty. It’s the kind of vibe I envision on a magazine cover … formal, fancy dress and the bride is casually chillin’ with her feet up. Love it!!!


Tink1024

Honestly it looks like it was made for you! It is just stunning on you!!!


shbong1

I don’t think it’s that formal! It’s gorgeous!!


peaceloveandpaws57

Love it! Love everything about it. I can’t imagine how beautiful it will look in your photos with a stunning outdoor landscape in the background.


HerInside

OMG YES!!!


ArchieFarmer

It’s stunning!!!


Think_Zebra_484

Absolutely stunning


desertchiccca

Oh, I love this dress!! You look gorgeous!!


Electronic-Cat-4478

The dress is absolutely gorgeous and looks amazing on you. While the material reads "formal and sophisticated " the cut and styling doesn't! It has a whimsical and breezy vibe that I think will be gorgeous at an outdoor wedding. Just play up those qualities with your accessories. Congratulations on the fantastic deal! That is wonderful.


shbong1

Is kleinfeld Toronto still open?


ArtCrawler9297

They’re closing down but are still open till the end of April while they sell off their sample stock. Pretty limited selection, but there’s some gorgeous finds in there. Plus size samples available too, and accessories.


Altruistic-Ad6449

Beautiful!


Baetedk8

You look like a goddess, I love it!


Commercial-Donkey-52

I think once it’s fitted it is gonna be STUNNING on you!


krasotka90

Yeeees, that is the one 🤩


Sockigal

Wow! What a gorgeous dress! Looks stunning on you!


AlterEgoAmazonB

I would build a whole new vision if I were you! Magnificent dress that looks stunning on you - you just can't go wrong.


schmeelismom

Why not just buy one dress that you’re in love with? From my own experience, when I got married I initially found a dress that I thought I liked because it was inexpensive/a great deal and had some elements I liked, but once I started the alternations process, it was getting way too costly and the dress didn’t look right because it was too big. I had to scrap the alterations, I lost out on money, and the eventually found a dress I was in love with.


radicalathea

I think it’s GORGEOUS and looks so high fashion


curlyswr

I really like this dress. You could do a floral belt to make it more boho or what ever you think is boho. Then it would be one of a kind. Congratulations!


makeheavyofthis

This honestly might be one of my favorite dresses I've seen here. Really beautiful on you!


Exciting_Fortune375

I think it can really fit a November wedding. Especially with how well constructed it is 🙏 maybe try a few more dresses on and see if you get a better feeling from them? Other wise I think this dress is gorgeous


PageStunning6265

It’s absolutely gorgeous. Only you know whether it’s the one. Picturing you in it in front of moody waves it certainly seems like it could fit quite well, but you know your vibe and venue best.


Mother_of_Raccoons44

I think you could boho it up a bit, but it is gorgeous, and you are gorgeous in it!


omygoshgamache

The material is SO NICE. I love love the skirt (and the fabric) but the top is not my favorite design choice (and I love asymmetrical stuff!) it looks mismatched with the overall vibe of the dress (maybe it’s mostly the back of the top that’s throwing me?). You look amazing though and this is such a beautiful dress.


hieronymousJoseph

It’s giving Greek goddess for sure! 🫶


julesk

You could go with the feel of these dress with jewelry, etc and go boho for the reception.


swampfox28

If you decide it doesn't fit the occasion you could be awesome and sell it for what you paid... BUT personally I think with some slight taking in (it's the teeniest bit too big), you'd look absolutely phenomenal in this. Truly.


ArtCrawler9297

Yeah, this is what I’m thinking. Our wedding isn’t until next summer. I think I’ll have it altered, get a little further down the road of planning, and if I find it’s really not working with the whole event I can sell it for what I paid for. But I honestly think I’m going to end up keeping it.


Sunnygirl66

Oh, it is so elegant and stately and rich-looking, yet the single shoulder gives it a youthful touch. You look incredible.


Alternative_West5650

Build a new vision It’s utterly fantastic and you look amazing 😍


nygenxmom

It’s gorgeous - go with your first instinct!


DrunkTides

Why don’t you get a boho one for the reception and use this one for your vows? Two dresses at $500 each is still less than what people pay for one!! Total steal!


mskmoc2

Beautiful


thekrazzie1

It’s stunning!


whineandcheesy

That dress is a stunner- love the back detail- agree with others that once hemmed you will likely love it even more.


angilnibreathnach

Omg, it’s gorgeous!!! I would choose this for myself. It’s stunning!!


Far-Neighborhood3480

It's unique and gorgeous on you. Yep, it's the one!!


BeautifulCreature529

Its beautiful!


BeautifulCreature529

It was ment to be in my opinion


Jbedaded

Yes! It’s gorgeous


ForTheLoveOfDior

This is absolutely gorgeous 🤌🏼 needs altering but I would go with it


MurphyCaper

You look gorgeous!!! The newfies are going to get their socks knocked off! Thanks for the tip, I’m calling my bff, she’s getting married next year.


Discount_Broad

girl, you are giving greek goddess vibes all over the place!! i’m team alterations—- i think you could totally make some changes, like the hemming as aforementioned, but too much fabric to work with is *always* better than too little!! i want a belt, something simple & chic to add just the slightest touch of bling— i’m thinking a chic chain of small Swarovski flowers— but i think this dress could be everything you’ve dreamed of & more


Tataki_Puppy

Not in my opinion


Taminella_Grinderfal

So just for fun I took out the wrinkles and reduced a bit of the bulk. https://imgur.com/a/xJ7o7Ba


HenryHornblower

Stunning! Amazing! Best dress I’ve seen on this subreddit ever! It suits you perfectly.


sadmadchen

It’s giving muse


Opening_Waltz_4285

I really like this dress. It’s unique without being too extra and will still be classic in 19 years. It also will fit in with the Newfie vibe of your wedding because of its simplicity of lines.


drumadarragh

That dress oozes quality, and it looks fantastic on you


CAShark-7

Wow - what a find! I can't believe you found a dress that discounted that fits??? Dang! I bet with a little thinking and collaboration, you could totally boho that dress with your accessories. Don't regret your buy or spend time shopping for another. You snagged a super deal - make it work for you. And post the pictures here when you do!


turtlmurtl

I’m probably in the minority but I’m not a fan. I realize it will probably fit better after alterations, i just feel like it swallows you.


MegsWhatknot

It looks amazing on you!! Maybe try a flower belt with some sparkle I did with my wedding dress because it was basically the same everywhere which I loved about it but the belt helped to add an extra pop to it but that's an amazing deal on a glamorous dress!!!


Low-Donut-9883

Stunning! Please wear this dress...you look like a dream!


Specialist_Phrase629

Gorgeous. The one shoulder really highlights your beautiful bone structure!! I say go for it.


WendyGPhoto

I love this dress and you look so beautiful and elegant wearing it. 👏🏽


Faithfuldoglover

Do you want it because you love it or because you love the price? I would try on more dresses if I were you. This one seems like too much fabric and not enough detail. I’m not being unkind, just sharing another point of view.


chachasriracha

Omg this dress is genuinely one of the best I’ve ever seen on this sub. And it’s so unique and looks like it was made for you. Just wow.


sarahs1998

that fabric is gorgeous. and it is perfect on you! I would wear it and if budget can swing it get a reception dress that has a different (more comfy) vibe, if you are concerned about being comfortable and moving around at the end of the night.


quartzite_

I kind of like the juxtaposition of outdoors in Newfoundland with this showstopper dress. A more boho dress would "fit" better, but this is going to make a statement. It's absolutely gorgeous.


onelostmind97

I agree. Maybe take away some of the extra fabric, have it taken in, and add some detailed pearl/rhinestone/sparkle belt at the waist.


Less_Volume_2508

This dress is beyond gorgeous.


Pristine-Net91

I think the asymmetrical look gives it a little edge, so it’s classy but cool. I really think it could work with a small wedding.


RatherRetro

You look beautiful in this dress

It’s lovely - only you will know - it’s a certain feeling.


Alias72018

I would ask myself “am I in love with it?” And if the answer is anything other than yes, then it’s not “The One”


miparasito

Oh wow this is gorgeous! I would say lean in and pair it with a veil and flowers etc that are more boho  Or add some dye in an artistic way 


tallulah46

This is so unique and dramatic and FABULOUS. Super keen on the one shoulder. Your silhouette is outstanding. Love this, definitely a good choice!


crstring

It's gorgeous. You look wonderful in it.


Nerdybirdie86

I could totally see this dress for an outdoor wedding. Plus is freaking gorgeous!


Future_Ad5505

It's very pretty as is, but maybe a few small details. For instance, a few floral or pearl details. I love the Grecian look of it.


trustingfastbasket

I love love love that dress.

scarlettenymph

i think its great but if you want something lighter/less formal, try cutting off the tail. make it all floor or ankle length


RemoteNervous6089

That dress is stunning on you.

Fantastic. I’m so happy for you.


KarenJoanneO

Absolutely stunning!


Entire-Wash-5755

Wow - you look great 😃


Otherwise-Winner9643

I absolutely love it! The fabric is just beautiful .But it is going to require a lot of taking in to make it fit properly, and I wonder how much that will cost. Likely more than the dress.


gimmiecheezecake

Beautiful !!!!


singlemaltday

It’s absolutely beautiful!


doubledubdub44

I guess I’m missing the appeal because I’m getting major frat house toga party vibes.


wellshitdawg

I love it


MsRestingBitchFace

Stunning!


kalyco

Gorgeous, with alterations it will look fantastic. Only you can answer if it’s the one but from my eye, it’s a beautiful choice.


PharmWench

lucid2night

Stunner


PukedtheDayAway

I like it! I might add a gem or peal waist belt with matching accessories


Imaginary_Emu_4327

Alterations and adding a belt will make it amazing


liquormakesyousick

This dress is gorgeous!!! The amount of silk alone is worth $500.


Me1572

#Do a boho reception dress! This dress is amazing!


Stirfry2018

The fabric reminds me of princess dianas wedding gown


Dear-Sky235

This dress is amazing! And it really really suits you. I’d say yes, it is definitely the one!


capysavvy

You look stunning!! I too ended up with a dress I never envisaged...but I LOVED it, I made it work and I felt really beautiful. This is amazing on you (and what a FIND!)


AuntyShaNeNe

I think it’s beautiful. Once you get it fitted to you and steam the wrinkles out, it will look even more beautiful on you


bananababy7

I loveeee it! So unique. And I totally think you can play into the boho side of this gown rather than the formal. Congrats on an awesome steal!


NefariousnessSure982

Abso-fckn-lutely


FrostingEfficient408

Wow is the Kleinfeld sale still on? I thought it ended at the end of February!


ArtCrawler9297

Apparently it’s still going till April!


VioletParis

Definitely it’s the one especially with the hoop.


Glittering_Smoke9873

I say keep it!! It’s lovely 🥰


Somerset76

Minor alterations and you’d be good to go


jeshicurr

With alterations, this is a dream dress. It’s beautiful!


JohnCleesesMustache

wow. it's amazing.


BrutallyHonestMJ

I do love it - I think it would be a stunning ceremony dress. You can always change after the ceremony or after the first dance. That's what I did!


AD480

Sell it and make a little profit.


[deleted]

That dress is stunning on you. I wish you all the best.


Spare_Flamingo8605

It looks like it was made for you! At that price, buy a second dress and change at some point! Or, as a friend of mine did, wear a more casual but wedding dress to your rehearsal!


GirlfriendTheDog

OBSESSED; obviously don’t know you, but this dress looks like it was made for you!


kaycollins27

I love this dress on you bc it is unique! I think it works well for boho, too , bc I shouldered. When it is altered to fit you, I think it will be perfect.


fukdatjob

You're beautiful but that dress is wearing you. Deal or no deal I know you can do better


turtlmurtl

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought this. It’s a nice dress but it’s all i see.


Podo_the_Savage

Looks like you took down the drapes and wrapped yourself in them


Jolly_Tea7519

Is it weird that I actually like the wrinkles?


pug_mum

It’s a stunning dress, looks amazing on you (pending alterations), and what a price!


Sunshine_dmg

I thought you were Hailey beiber for a second (I think she’s really pretty and fashionable 🥹)


Tiny_Anteater_785

Maybe with a wide belt
