Can You Help Us Choose? Finley by Maggie Sottero at Romsey Bridal

One of the most exciting parts of wedding dress shopping is discovering how many beautiful options are available. Sometimes the smallest design details can completely transform the look and feel of a gown. At Romsey Bridal Boutique, we love helping brides explore these choices so they can find a dress that truly reflects their personality and style.

Today, we need your help.

Our featured gown is the stunning Finley by Maggie Sottero, and it comes with a few different design options. Each version creates a slightly different look, and we would love to hear which one our brides prefer.

So the big question is…

Which Finley would you choose?

Meet Finley by Maggie Sottero

Rebecca Ingram Finley A line Wedding Dress 25RS888B11 Alt100 IV002 — Lined and and not plunge

Rebecca Ingram Finley A line Wedding Dress 25RS888A01 Alt51 IV002 — Lined and and not plunge

Finley is a beautifully romantic wedding dress that perfectly captures the signature elegance that Maggie Sottero is known for. With delicate lace detailing, a flattering silhouette and modern bridal styling, this gown is effortlessly timeless while still feeling fresh and contemporary.

It is the kind of dress that makes brides feel confident, elegant and completely bridal the moment they step into it.

But what makes Finley particularly special is that it offers customisable styling options, allowing brides to tailor the look to suit their comfort level and personal taste.

Option One: The Plunge Neckline

For brides who love a slightly more modern and fashion forward look, the plunge neckline version of Finley is absolutely stunning.

The plunge adds a contemporary edge to the gown while still feeling romantic and elegant. It elongates the neckline and creates a beautiful, flattering shape through the bodice.

Many brides love this option because it feels:

Modern and stylish
Slightly more dramatic
Perfect for confident brides who love a fashion moment
Ideal for contemporary or stylish wedding venues

Despite the plunge detail, the gown still feels refined and bridal rather than revealing. It is simply a sophisticated way of adding a little extra wow factor.

Option Two: No Plunge Neckline

For brides who prefer a more classic and traditional bridal look, Finley is also available without the plunge neckline.

This version creates a softer, more understated bodice that still highlights the beautiful lace and shape of the gown. It is perfect for brides who want elegance without the deeper neckline.

Many brides prefer this option because it feels:

Timeless and traditional
Slightly more modest
Beautifully romantic
Ideal for classic wedding settings

It proves that sometimes simplicity can be just as breathtaking.

Lined or Unlined – Another Important Choice

Another lovely option with Finley is whether the bodice is lined or unlined.

Unlined Bodice

An unlined bodice allows the delicate lace to appear more sheer and detailed. This creates a softer, lighter and slightly more ethereal bridal look.

It is perfect for brides who love:

Light, airy bridal styling
Visible lace detail
A slightly modern, fashion inspired feel

Lined Bodice

A lined bodice provides a little more coverage and structure while still showcasing the beauty of the lace design.

This option often feels:

More traditional
Slightly more supportive
Elegant and refined

Both versions are absolutely beautiful, which is why we find ourselves asking…

Which one do you prefer?
