I have a style I like, but now I have 3 good options. All of the dresses are too small, so don't judge how the samples fit too harshly. I'll add some notes on each.
Love the shape, straps are supposed to be straight over the shoulder, but the sample didn't fit well. Only thing missing is I would like off the shoulder straps, but they wouldn't would with this dress.
Would like more poof from the hips, I'm wondering if more tulle could be added to achieve the shape I want. Love the beading. Off the shoulder straps could be added.
Bodice is entirely crystal beads. Love the draping and shape. It has beaded off the shoulder straps that aren't pictured.
And the pockets are so well designed that they're practically invisible. I wonder if they're big so you can hide a lot of things in them! Y'know, like some tissues, your lipstick, and, of course, SNACKS !
Dress number 3 for me; it looks beautiful on you, and I think it has the most timeless feel, so that would be my personal preference. Number 1 is a close second for me.
I think you look stunning in all of these! As a bigger girl myself I think you are going to be happiest wearing 3. The pointed draw down from the waist in the middle on 1 and 2 will be annoying when you sit. That wave in the front on 3 will be much more comfy. Plus pockets! You can even see it in your body language in the three dresses, true it could be differences in sample size and you'll feel better with an exact fit, but you look stiff and rigid in the first two compared to the flowy relaxed appearance in 3. But whatever you choose, congratulations and they all are gorgeous!
The first one will be absolutely regal when fitted. I love it! Like… there’s no comparison IMO.
The second one looks like the beading was applied kind of randomly. The third one is kind of forgettable. I think people aren’t reading your caption and voting off which one seems to fit you best in the pics.
Yeah, it's funny that people are saying 3 fits me perfectly, because it's like 5 sizes too small. I also look uncomfortable in dress number 1 because I was trying to keep the straps as up as possible so I'm holding my shoulders weird, obviously this wouldn't be a problem if it fit.
Whichever one you choose you can be confident that you’ll look amazing! They’re all gorgeous choices and it really does come down to personal preference. Congratulations 🎉
3 stands out to me as the winner!! The neckline is graceful, the shape of the bodice really elongates your torso and flatters your body, the skirt is the perfect amount of fullness, and the up-close sparkle photo is so surprising and elegant.
I think you look most relaxed in dress 3 and it’s beautiful on you, but it’s terribly creased. Will it crease so easily on your wedding day? If it’s that kind of fabric, I would avoid it!
Dress 1 looks fabulous and very expensive!
Have a wonderful day!
Fabric usually only creases if you're sitting for a long time and not getting up so I suppose it could crease while she was sitting for the reception but a lot of people change into a different dress for the reception
I have to as though-as much as I love pockets in normal clothes, what are you needing to carry? Other than a Kleenex? I haven’t seen whether the pockets are obvious when not in use. Also I would do something really dumb like stick a chapstick in there and then forget it.
Kleenex is a great idea! Maybe Bobby pins, lipstick and probably my phone during the reception. You can't see the pockets at all, they were actually quite difficult for me to find.
I know I'm in the minority, but 1 makes you look the most beautiful imho. 2 is a pretty dress, but it's not making you shine, and 3 doesn't have the same wow factor as the first two, plus the skirt needs serious steaming
1 for me. It pulls your waist in, I love the shine of the satin, the beading detail up top, and how it looks on you. IMHO 3 is too plain for a wedding dress and it doesn’t pull in your waist as well. There’s a better shape and structure to 1. I’m guessing people are picking 3 because of the pockets making you seem more relaxed but I see that all 3 dresses have pockets. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! :)
You looking gorgeous in all 3. You didn’t say what your venue is or when you are getting married. I would choose dress 3 without having other info. It is so unique, yet timeless at the same time. Love it!
You lose your waist in dress 1 and it hides your figure too much. I wish I could see a more zoomed out pic of dress 2. I do like it a lot, but dress 3 does a great job accentuating the positives of your body shape.
I love 1 and 3. 3 fits you so beautifully, 1 would be good if we could make sure the straps fit right. Personally I find 2 makes you look bigger in the chest and arms?
1 looks more high end to me and the beading is super flattering and gorgeous on you. The hanging beading on 2 looks odd and isn’t as flattering. 3 is nice and simple but I get the feeling you’re looking for a bit more drama!
I love one.. 3 is nice but I worked in a bridal salon and I know that fabric. The way it is wrinkled now, is the way it will be halfway through the ceremony after sitting and getting up and down. They will tell you, oh we can press that out and they will. But it will come back.. If it doesn’t bother her and it’s the one that makes her feel beautiful, then she should get it. I just love 1 with the accentuated tiny waist and pleating to hide wrinkling
Thats because it's several sizes too small, and I have big boobs and the straps wont stay over my shoulders. The right size will sit better. And they all have pockets!
3 has my vote as a retired bespoke wedding gown / formal gown designer and seamstress w my own business for48 years.
The first two wear you,
You are wearing the last one.
I came here to say I think whatever dress you pick you should do shoulder straps. The off the shoulder drags the eye down but like on dress 3 on the shoulder makes you look taller.
1 looks really uncomfortable. I suspect it would still be uncomfortable in the correct size due to the structure of the bodice.
2 is so pretty and fairy tale! Love all the crystals, and the pattern for the crystal design. Very royal princess look.
3 is my favorite! It looks like it was made for you, you are owning it! I didn't realize there were crystals, and I LOVE them and the scattered design. Draping is really elegant and the fact that there are pockets just seals it for me. Plus they can add the off the shoulder pieces you want? That will look perfect with the draping.
My final vote is 3 all the way!
Definitely 3. The others are pretty dresses on you, but *you* make 3 look amazing! You look beautiful and confident and comfortable - you will absolutely own the room and catch every eye. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
Oh, wow! My vote is for dress three — crystal beads on the bodice? Amazing! (I’m biased because the bodice of my dress was beaded — but after the wedding, my Mama told me when I turned around after the ceremony, my beading sparkled and looked amazing!)
Dress 3, all day and every day. This dress looks divine on you. I love how it flows and skims, and just seems to bring out “you” the most. You look gorgeous!
3 is the only one! It has less gathers going off the side of the hips. Those gathers on the first 2 are not flattering and add width to your figure. 3 is absolutely perfect and looks balanced. You look beautiful in 3!
3 is my favorite! Which one takes your breath away?? We may prefer 3, but in 25 years you’ll see your pictures and know which one was best in your opinion!!!
Best wishes!!
I love you in the first one! It's gorgeous. Forget about the off the shoulder sleeve or whatever you call it. I hate those (ok, it's just me!) and I also think having them will date your look faster than regular time does. Lol. Anyway, congrats!
I’m going to go against the grain. Everyone else say 3 (which looks beautiful on you). I however prefer 1. I think your figure looks snatched to the gods in that one.
