I love two dresses, this first on dressilyme.com, but figured out is a Sincerity 3661: First, I hadn't realized this wasn't their dress, so I'm wondering how you all think it would come out. [Click Here to see the full listing on dressily] Also, this dress is a mermaid underneath with an a-line overlay. I know for a fact that a mermaid wouldn't look good on this size 26 bod, but do you think it would matter if they just made it all a-line? They're also calling the overlay "net", but it looks like either chiffon or organza to me. Any thoughts on what to request? Second dress: The petal-y things worry me. [Full listing here.] And another thing (!): I'm either going to order it in ivory or their really dark bordeaux color, but not sure how their lace appliques look in colors. TIA!
