Dress Depression - Please HELP!

They all look lovely the bottom one is lush whose that by? ?

Love the 3rd one! its beautiful and very flattering

They're both so different, I love the first one because its like mine but the 2nd is pretty too. Ignore what other people say and buy the dress that makes you feel like a million dollars and makes the real you come out.

I personally luv the first and third one, but it depends on ur theme etc. the first is very fairytale like and princess but the third one is elegant and would go with any theme. dont stress hun. how long until u get married?

either keep trying or go with ur heart if u think uve found the one, they are all gorgeous x

Love love love the second one. Not so keen on the first. I think you need to have a break from dress shopping, because you can overload your self with ideas. If someone said to you, you have a second to pick the dress you will wear on your wedding day, which one would you choose?

The first dress is absolutley stunning! who is it by?xxx

I think both look lovely, but TBH, you have 16 months to go so perhaps it might be an idea to step back from looking at dresses for a few months (remember you only need 6 months to order) and start looking again at another time. New styles come in all the time and you are in a good position to have your pick.

Sometimes too much choice can be worse than not enough!

Another vote for the second one.

It really flatters your figure and is such an elegant style and I really love it with the belt added. Sorry, but I'm not at all keen on the first one, I just don't think it sits right on you. Sorry.

As others have said, it may well be a good idea to have a break from dress shopping for a while, you've got bags of time yet to make a choice and you may find something you love in one of the new seasons collections

I think the second one is most flattering with your figure, it looks really elegant, i love the material! And i like the belt added on in the 3rd pic as well. I'd say really dont panic, I didnt start looking for dresses until 10 months before the wedding, and just did 4 or 5 shops in one day. Just don't be afraid to try on lots of different styles. I was one of the people who got 'the feeling' when i found 'the one', but I dont know if everyone does! And I really wouldnt worry about others reactions, its all about how you feel in it!

You must let us know when you buy one!

Love the 2nd one with the belt x

I love the second one with the belt its so elegant and simple! x

2nd one with the belt - very flattering and suits your shape.

Hi I like the second one too x But you should get what you like!

Hey Girls

Thanks very much for your opinions! I think you are probably right, i need to take a step back and clear my head. I just wish i could take my OH i know he would give me an honest opinion - i am so tempted to show him the pics but really wanted to keep it a surprise for him.

Lanaej1 – the dress is pronovias - Georgia, it has a huge train and is very simple and elegant which i think suits me more.

Yellow butterfly - the dress is by mori lee - can't remeber the name but it is on the hitched website.

Vickster79 – If i only had 2 seconds to chose i think my heart would say the second dress

Mynnie the moocher – I appreciate your honesty and opinion!

❤️

I love the second dress without the belt,looks stunning and elegant,right up my street.

I like the second dress much better. It's lovely on you and very flattering.

I tried it on but you suit it so much more than I did!

I had same problem, dress shopping became a chore for me! I tired on about 200 dresses before i had my 'wow moment'. Probably went to about 30-40 bridal shops and travelled all over. But i did finally the moment, and my mum and sister all agreed on the same one!

My advice would be to keep shopping if you havent found the one. It will happen, trust me.

I think all those dresses look lovely on you, i prefer the first one purely because i am not keen on the neckline to the others.

I had the same problem, dont worry you will get there and find the dress you love!

The 2nd/3rd dress looks beautiful on you - it shows your figure off so well and is really elegant. The first one is pretty, but doesn't do your figure justice.

Please try not to worry, not everyone gets 'that' feeling. I didn't feel 'enchanted' by my dress and I was really disappointed I didn't 'get that feeling' everyone says you'll get either. Like you, I wanted to take my OH to try on the 3 I'd shortlisted as his opinion was the only one that mattered, but of course I didn't! It took all my strength not to show him the pictures!

I worried about my dress right up until the wedding day. I worried it was a bit small/tight (I'd built up back muscle by going to the gym - oops!), then one of the corset loops broke the day before the wedding....it was all a bad omen as far as I was concerned. However, on the day itself I almost dreaded putting it on but when I did and it fitted and all the loops stayed in tact I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it and felt a million dollars all day!

You've got PLENTY of time to go dress hunting. I started looking in March, ordered it in April, picked it up in June and wore it in October! A lot of shops panic you by saying you need at least 6 months from ordering to receiving, but in reality a lot of dresses can be put on panic order if needs be. The lady at my dress shop had never had to wait 3/4 months max for a dress to come in.

I think the 2nd dress suits you better, its looks great on and ur waist looks tinY!! But its ur choice whatever u feel better in, I would definitely leave it a while and let your head clear

All dresses r stunnin. but if it was me i would pick the 1st cos thats the kinda thing im lookin for.x

I think I would leave it for a few months you might feel more in the mood when the weather picks up. Although it's a nice dress I don't think the first one suits you as much as the 2nd and I prefer it without the belt.

Ahh bless you, I remember those feelings and found dress buying, with everyone looking at me, quite stressful. I think photo 2 is my favourite but without your head in the shot we aren't getting the full picture so just go with what you love. I agree with the others though - you have ages to go before you have to make a decision. So have a month off and then try those again but also try a pile more dresses in a completely different shop too. Good luck! x

I love love love the second dress with the belt. Its so elegant and stunning. Also is very flattering alot more than 2st one, really looks gorg on your figure in the pics hun. but you have to follow your heart x

I agree! That's my fave too!

I LOVE the second one, gives you an incredible figure. I couldn't believe the first and second dress were both on the same person if I'm honest - the first is beautiful but the second does so much more justice to your tiny waist!

But I echo what others have said- you have SO much time, don't worry about it now if you haven't found something you like! It is the beginning of the 2011 season so these dresses should be around for a good few months yet, just take some time away from it all to think about what you want, cut some piccies out of magazines etc. But I would give yourself a break from dress shopping - it really is stressful sometimes!

The other thing I would wonder is if you are taking the right people/too many people with you when you try on dresses. My first day of full-on dress shopping, I had four girls with me (two sisters and two friends) and it was just too much - they all had different opinions and I ended up in tears because I felt pulled/pushed in every direction and every dress just started to look the same as the last!

I think the shop has a big part to play as well - you need to be somewhere where you feel comfortable. In some shops I was pampered and made to feel really special - even though I was looking at their least expensive range - and in others I felt really inadequate and like I didn't matter at all.

So do take a break from it all and come back to it in a couple of months when the weather is better, when it's closer to the time of your wedding (e.g. a year from your wedding will give you a good idea of what sort of weather it will be, and you might feel a bit more 'in the mood' to look then), and when your poor brain has had some time to assimilate everything so far!

Also remember that on the day, no one will see the dresses you didn't pick - only the one you did pick. No one will be making comparisons or thinking "she should have chosen that other one" - they will only be thinking about how beautiful you look ?

I was at a wedding recently and the bride had the second dress on.

The second dress really flatters you much more than the first dress but I think you should keep looking and trying on different styles. x

ETA you have ages yet so no rush at all to order something and if you wait until summer time a whole new collection will be out.

Lovely dresses, is the 2nd one a Pronovias? if so, i love this dress! the quality, the fit, this is one i want to try on (although in saying this, i think i have found The one the other day, but in saying so, my mum was with me and she didnt cry or anything, but its a dress ive seen time and time again on the internet and keep going back to).
