God, that title was so lame. I apologize.
I have a couple of dress decisions to make, so I thought I’d put them to a vote.
The first is the sash. For the months that I ogled my dress here,
I pictured it with the sash. And I even bought that exact sash. But once I got it home, I started to get nervous that the sash would be too much - especially because I will be wearing red shoes. And as it turned out, the sash that’s already attached to the dress is pretty cute. So the first poll is:
(My hair/face were looking particularly gnarly on this day, so please don’t let them influence your decision.)
Oh, and Mr. BG, you may GO NO FURTHER!
Sash?
Or no sash?
Aside from the sash issue, I’ve also been slightly overwhelmed by the sheer VOLUME of clothing I’ll be wearing - which made me wonder if maybe the petticoat was contributing to the problem. So just for fun, I tried the dress without it… which leads to the next poll:
Petticoat?
Or no petticoat?
And what dress-related decisions have you had to make?
i like your dress with the petticoat because it shapes the dress, but if the petticoat is too much, i’m sure you can find another alterntive. Also I like your dress WITH the sash… but does it coordinate with your BMs? If it doesn’t then No sash, but if it does then go for it.
i’ve seen a lot of dresses lately with a “splash of color” like the sash, and honestly, i don’t like them all that much.
this is the day where you really get to wear all white and be a BRIDE… so, i say no sash. i think it looks great.
and definitely keep the petticoat. the ruffles don’t look quite right without it.
I vote- yes petticoat (it makes the pick-ups look a lot neater).
As for the sash- I vote no sash. The white one that comes with the dress is thinner and makes your waist look a lot narrower than the wider, colored sash.
But, truth be told, you look beautiful in any combination.
Keep the petticoat and the original sash (the non-green one)!
i’d vote for sash and petticoat.
i love that color of green–very pretty and complimentary to your skin and hair color.
you’re going to look amazing no matter what you decide 
I vote No for the sash. I don’t love the colored sash look unless it’s a coordinationg cream or champagne or white. I think you look beautiful with the all white gown!
And definitely with the petticoat. It fulls out the shape of the dress.
Either sash works - but I like the look more with the petticoat - it just makes your dress fuller and the pick ups fall much prettier.
I vote a very big YES for the petticoat - the dress hangs properly with it and it looks limp without it. Also, those top ruffles kind of stick out without the petticoat and it might make your hip area look funny.
I like the idea of a sash but I don’t think that green one is going to work with red shoes. Also, as someone else mentioned, your waist looks smaller with the white one. I vote no on the green sash.
no sash
yes petticoat
While I do love all things green, I think in this case it breaks up the line of your body too much. Your seamstress may be able to cut down the petticoat and reduce the fullness at little, but you definitely need something there to shape the dress properly.
On a totally non-related topic, what did you end up deciding on for your veg option? (I think this popped into my head b/c I missed lunch today!),/i>
i vote “Yes” to the green sash.
I’m all for some color!
i did a lot of scrolling up and down thinking about the petticoat. i’m not one for a bunch of volume. in fact, i plan to nix the petticoat for my own pick-up style dress…..but the petticoat does seem to make the pickups look better.
(scrolls up to double check)
yeah. i like the way the pickups look with the petticoat vs without.
Petticoat with white sash.
The colored sash cuts you in half and is not as flattering as the thinner white one.
I’m with rosychicklet, Amandine, and Jessie:
I vote yes to the petticoat (it makes the skirt look right)
And no to the colored sash.
To me, the dress looks more flattering without the green sash….plus you don’t want to get too Christmasy with green/red combo. Even the way you are standing in the “no colored sash” picture suggests that you are more comfortable/confident without it.
But having said all that, of course you can’t go wrong either way.
Yes to the Petticoat, it makes your waist look so teeny tiny! (not that it wasn’t before)
And yes to the white sash…
Definitely yes to the petticoat. Without it, the dress looks limp. As for the sash, it looks great, but I second Mary’s concern for the Christmasy red/green.
No sash, petticoat.
The sash is too much on you, but the dress doesn’t look like it sits right without the petticoat.
And red shoes will make up for the little bit of flair that the sash gives!
My vote is sash & Petticoat. I think the petticoat makes the dress look fuller and I think the sash adds just the right amount of color. Although, with red shoes I’m not so sure…
