My hair will be in a loose big curly bun to the opposite side of strap, with a birdcage veil with ostrich feathers Thanks again for the help, I'm so thankful I discovered this site, I've learn't so much. I plan to check in often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110548 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:06:52 +0000 velvetychocolate 110548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one fabulous dress, and you look spectacular in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110531 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:25:16 +0000 AJ 110531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooohhhh! That dress is lovely! I also think you are more of a rectangle than an inverted triangle. For rectangles, accentuating the shoulders and hips at the same time helps the waist look smaller and give off an hourglass look. I think this dress does just that for you. You look gorgeous in it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110529 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:17:35 +0000 Alecia 110529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love at first sight!

Trust your instincts!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110386 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 14:29:15 +0000 Ana 110386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm not usually a fan of mermaid dresses, but this one is so ethereal and lovely, I love it. You look beautiful in it! I'm sure the seamstress at the shop is very skilled and will be able to make the adjustments for you without any problem. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110377 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 04:39:45 +0000 Jean Gray 110377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jill,<br /> Quite stunning in a wonderful way! Your dress has a rather dreamy quality to it. How are you thinking of doing your hair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110368 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 00:11:39 +0000 Jill 110368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies you're probably right about my shape, I've never been sure myself. My shoulders are slightly wider than my hips and my waist is only slightly smaller than my hips. So maybe a rectangle is a better descriptor :)<br /> I am encouraged and flattered by your responses, thank you so much for your help! I will be booking an appointment to purchase and get measured next weekend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110350 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:22:57 +0000 medusa 110350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jill, you look STUNNING in that dress. Go for it.</p> <p>I'm not quite buying you as an inverted triangle. Your shoulders aren't so big, I'd say you're a rectangle or an hourglass. Maybe that's because of the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110348 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:08:01 +0000 Boof 110348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in that dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110345 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:29:49 +0000 Srujana 110345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been addicted to watching "Say Yes to the Dress" lately and I think yours is quite lovely...it balances you so well (I had no idea that you were an inverted triangle until I read what you wrote) and I love that its so unique while being simple and elegant. I think you should definitely get it, and trust in the seamstresses' abilities to make it even more perfect for you...you look beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110329 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:09:13 +0000 Dawn 110329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my god, that is a gorgeous dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110323 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:35:09 +0000 Jill 110323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the feedback!<br /> Queenie, I will definitely ask, that's a great suggestion. I know that they won't cut the ruffles in half, they'll just choose the one that hits the floor and cut from below it.<br /> Thank you ladies!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110320 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:29:44 +0000 marianna 110320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great too.

Something about it really appeals to me too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-the-mermaid-dress#post-110310 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 05:54:47 +0000 Jill 110310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have fallen in love with this mermaid wedding dress, but am unsure if it is flattering on me. I need objective opinions!! I am also concerned that once it's hemmed it may lose the elongating effect, what do you think? I am 5'5'' and I am an inverted triangle, mostly, with very narrow hips, a larger bust and shoulders. I really appreciate any suggestions!</p> <p><a href="http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/jisamc/dress/GetAttachment-2aspx.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i852.photobucket.com/al.....-2aspx.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/jisamc/dress/GetAttachment-1aspx.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i852.photobucket.com/al.....-1aspx.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/jisamc/dress/GetAttachmentaspx.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i852.photobucket.com/al.....ntaspx.jpg</a> </p>
