Should I do this to my dress?

[sunnyd]

My mom''s friend gets all her clothes tailored by a lady who used to do Chanel and all the high end stuff at Nordstrom. She''s amazing, she doesn''t even use a measuring tape. She just looks at you in the garment and knows where to fix it.

I have no doubt in her ability and plan on taking my dress to her for alterations.

So the friend talked to the seamstress and thought that maybe I should add beading to the bodice. I''m having the neckline sweetheart-ed and foregoing a necklace because I have too much other stuff going on. I don''t know whether I want it beaded. I kinda feel like it might take away from the vintagey look. What do you think?

...I need a new picture of me in the dress...where my skin doesn''t blend into the top of it...LOL

Totally agree. I would not add beading, unless you were doing it minimally over the entire dress. Personally, I don't like beading on the bodice of a dress that doesn't have a definite separation at the waist, it just takes away from the cohesive look of the dress.

ETA: Your dress is absolutely gorgeous!! Please don't do a thing!! (other than the sweetheart neckline of course

)

I agree- I personally wouldn''t add beading to your gown. It''s lovely as is!

 

[Elmorton]

Please don''t change it!! ALSO - is that Running of the Brides?!?!

 

[sunnyd]

Mer, I''m with ya. I''m not a bead hater, but I wouldn''t pick it necessarily.

Thanks girls.

Nope! Just a wedding show.

I wouldn''t do the beading. I think that dress is great as it is.

Another "no!" vote, here.

Gorgeous dress, sunny.

 

[AmberGretchen]

Ditto the others - it doesn''t need beading or anything else, it is beautiful as-is.

 

[Kelli]

I think it''s beautiful the way it is!

 

[sunnyd]

Okay good. Just wanted to make sure they weren''t seeing something I wasn''t! My mom thought it was a fantastic idea...oh Mom...

[emeraldlover1]

you already got a lot of the same answers but please don''t add anything to that dress! It is beautifull.

 

[FrekeChild]

Nope! (Just to ditto everyone else!)

 

[EricaR]

I agree with everyone else - no beads! Maybe you can wear a beaded necklace?

 

[EmptyLeftHand]

I agree with the rest. Beading the bodice would be too much. It is beautiful as it is.

[violet3]

I ditto the rest here, and i just wanted to say i completely love that dress on you (sigh)

 

[kama_s]

No no no..please dont! I LOVE your dress as is (except, ofcourse, for the addition of the sweetheart neck which I think would look fantastic!). Sunnyd, you are such a beaut!

 

[sunnyd]

Wow, thanks kama!! I blush, I blush...

 

[elrohwen]

I wouldn''t add beading as I think it would change the whole feel of the dress and I like it just the way it is!

 

[kittybean]

Another no on the beading here! Your dress is so beautiful as is!

 

[pocahontas]

Another no vote here, Sunny! Your dress is stunning as is
