Do you have someone you trust who can be honest with you? Take pictures of yourself in the dress you like & ask for an honest opinion. I did that, sending the pictures to D … who shared them with her bridesmaids. I had two dress choices (one was the eggplant dress but in navy), and they told me which they liked. I then sent the pictures to my best friend, who agreed with the girls. I knew then that I was good to go!
