How do I look?

Why go all the effort to try on dresses when you can do it with Photoshop! I have been collecting all these amazing images on pinterest of different kind of dresses and at the same time nothing looks like me. So, I figured out a way to get a bit creative and have some visual eye on what I might like to try.

I did about 15 variations of dresses, some more and some less different with eachother. And I had fun doing it. I think I did get a lot help for myself when trying on ideas on Photoshop. Like I am interested of knowing if corset (or corslet) would work on me, and there is two different type: undrbust and overbust. I rightaway figured, that underbust would mostlikely not look good at all for me, specially when sitting, since it just cuts my silhouette too much. Works when standing or for really skinny people…

What I´m surprised is, that after trying on my more creative ideas I tried some more traditional white ones –and you know what? I actually like some of the more traditional ones too. For more details image by image:

1) This first one is actually a bit older Photshop playing, but I want to start with this one, since it was the one that first time felt like me. It is a mixture of 4 images and some hand drawing skills.. With a sence of humor. Main idea whit this was, that I really fell in love with the corset type of thing and I wanted it to be something like orange. Under it could be something more traditional white gown. This is from the time, when we still had more African type of wedding to look forward. Now I think we are going a bit more traditional wedding with spices of gaming nerds. What is difficult about this is the fact, that is is not something you can find shops, also I am not at all sure how it would work when sitting down and it has the underbust cut in the corset. Good thing about this could be, that the orange could be worn like a jacket, so it could be taken off some point and then have the more basic white..

2) Previous image in mind, I ended up trying something similar on my newer Photoshop dress-up. Here I found an image of a kinda cute corset that goes over the bust and remind me of Assassin´s Creed -the game. I added something like the side “wings” and I actually really loved the skirt I found from internet and added that in here. I tried few different headways and felt this was the best option for this mix (one to some more to come).

3) Next one is almost the same, simpler idea. Same neckline, but corset is simpler, something like this one and skirt is also less fluffy and no side “wings”. I don´t like the look of this corset, but with a good fabric and some details it does also have potential.

4)Next up in line is something a lot more traditional. Only a hint of orange and with this one the top part should have some detailing with the fabric. I surprisingly like this, but feel at the same time that it is so very boring. So I kept trying more options.

5)With this one, I wanted to bring more color and break the rules of a wedding dress. So this could be made of two parts. Idea is, that the top part is long enough to go lightly on top of the white skirt. Good point of something like this is, that I would have two pieces, so they might get to be used even after the big day!

6)This one I actually like a lot. It again might consist of two parts, one orange dress or skirt and the white top part. I like the way orange has a big deal in this one, but does not take out the wedding white gown feeling –if you know what I mean.

7)For the last I had to try on a totally white one. And it shows, that I was wrong about myself. I could wear totally white dress! With the correct choice of cutting and fabrics, I could look like a “real bride”.

Did all this photshopping help me to make a decision. Nope, definitely not. But it did make me believe that even a bride in a wheelchair can look good in a white (or orange and white) dress!

I would really like to hear my readers’ opinions about the dresses. Did you like something or did you actually get spooked by the look of some idea? And I promise, there won´t be this many pictures of me and mr j in one post again!
