Dress alterations ! help

Hailey!
One of my best friends got married in this exact dress, and to be honest when I first saw photos I had the same thought, but in real life HOLY MOLY was it ever beautiful!!!! gorgeous gorgeous

Don't change a thing! This is a GORGEOUS dress and you have the body to pull this off. I adore the detail on the back train and I agree that the underlay color makes the details POP right out. Just stunning! Enjoy your day

I don't think it's too dark at all, this dress is beautiful. I also do not think they would be able to change colour on it, or any part for that matter... I wouldn't though... it's gorgeous just how it is. Keep in mind the lighting of the room you were in and took the pictures in as well... In brighter light it won't look as dark

I have almost the same dress and this is what I like: that it is darker below the white lace. We can see more the details 😍 your dress is beautiful!!😍

This is the back.
I appreciate the comments, I'm feeling better about my decision

It looks very elegant and classy. The dark underlay brought out the sexiness of the dress.

View quoted message Oh I should’ve known!! I’ve been looking at their dresses (and Sottero & Midgley) and really love that style gown. They have quite a few like it

View quoted message Thank you, it's a Maggie Sottero !

That is a lovely gown. May I ask the designer?

Stunning! Speak with your photographer and ask them if they have any reference photos of brides they’ve photographed with a dark underlay to their dress. There’s so much they can do playing with lighting to make that top layer just pop. The dress is beautiful. Yes you can change it in alterations but keep in mind they’ll be sewing a new underlay. It’ll be costly, as well and time consuming, so make sure you factor that into your budget.

I think it looks amazing - and the colour? Please!! The way I see it, if the dress comes in that colour, if the dress makes you feel like a bride, or if that's the dress you simply plan on wearing when walking down the aisle - it looks like a wedding dress to me!

I think the underlay makes the white details pop that much more which is stunning by the way!

The underlay is definitely not too dark at all! It really looks gorgeous on you!

I've seen the dark underlay trending with so many dress styles right now!! I think it's gorgeous!

That dress is gorgeous! I’ve had a couple friends walk down the aisle with dresses similar with that color underlay. When it’s outside, the light should make it less dark!

Thank you for the positivity! I really appreciate it we are getting married outside so hopefully sunlight will give it some different looks!

I agree with the others - it really is gorgeous, and the darker colour shows the beautiful detail of the lace.

I think the dress looks really good.
I agree with precious post that this is trending right now.

The colour underneath is trending right now. I really love the detail on your dress.

that being said, if you wanted to replace it, it would likely be very expensive because the seamstress would have to take the dress apart.

my dress had different options when I purchased it. So if you really really don’t like it, I would look up the designer and see if you can order it in whatever colour you want.

I think this dress is beautiful! And definitely not too dark. I honestly don't think you could get it fixed because they would have to pretty much take the dress apart and put a new lighter underlay and most places will not do that unless they are the designer of the dress and even if they could do it it would cost a lot! But like I said, I don't think it's too dark I think it's absolutely gorgeous!

HI Hailey!

The dress looks amazing and honestly I don't think it looks too dark. It looks great and with different lighting during the day could make it look lighter at times. That color underneath tends to be trending and would be fine!
