First dress session, flash of 3 possibilities! Pic heavy!

bettylu88, 9 March, 2014 at 08:36 Posted on Planning 0 34

Hey girlies,

(photos are all squashed for some reason but you can get an idea, just imagine me with less shape and it'll be more like reality)

Well, I went for my first dress trying on session yesterday. I have narrowed it down to 3 possibilities. Problem I have is I'm a UK 6-8 so none of the samples fitted me remotely! So excuse how rubbish they all look, but here they are, thoughts welcome!

1) Mori Lee - 1862

Some added bits to cover my boney chest urgh

again, none of it fits but you get the idea!

What it looks like when it actually fits

2) Maggie Sottero - Emma

Here it is with the capped sleeves which I like

3) Sophia Tolli - Roslin

here's what it looks like when you actually have boobs

I havent showed the back because they were all clipped/held so can't see anyway!

I'm leaning towards the mori lee at the moment I think!

    They all look lovely. Like you say though difficult when they don't fit! Personally I like the Emma, it was my number two choice, and a very close number two. The cap sleeves really do make it look stunning. I prefer the more gentle flare than the more defined and sharp flare of the Mori Lee, but that's personal choice, and at the end of the day it's what you like that matters. I do like the Sophia Tolli dress too lol - so sorry, not much help at all Smiley smile

    Three lovely dresses! I'm a biased as mine is Emma but for me it's the cap sleeves that make that dress so only if you're having them/they suit you.

    From the pics it looks like 3 suits you best but it's hard to tell as this is a front on shot and the other are side on so you don't get a fair comparison as it could just be because it's front on.

    I meant to add, I think no 3 looks a lot better on you than it does on the model!! It's too small for her and looks like she'd fall out of it at any time.

    Definitely number three from me Smiley smile The others suit your shape, and you look nice, but in my opinion the third one is perfect! Hope to help

    I think number 3 gives you the best shape (I actually think the advert picture looks like it's too small on the chest for the model - she'd spend the day panicking about flashing the guests! Lol).

    Out of interest, how much was the Maggie?

    Emma with sleeves for me.

    Is there any option of you trying all three in your size in a different shop to get a clearer picture?

    I agree with the others, number 3. It looks too tight on the model & she is popping out. You have a lovely shape & you do have boobs!!!

    I don't like the tattoos on show, but that's just me. The dress is lovely.

    The more I look at these, the more I don't think no1 does much for you hun. No 3 I think does look stunning on you and really shows of your gorgeous shape. And I know no 2 will do too. The addition of the cap sleeves makes an incredible transformation. I know from when I was looking at it.

    Wow, they are all stunning! I think I like the Mori Lee and Maggie Sottero best. At first I was leaning towards the Mori Lee (only fractionally!) but I also love the Maggie dress, it's stunning. It looks fab on you! Feel like I may be now swaying towards the second dress - Maggie design..... :-)

    Maggie sottero Emma with the sleeves would be absolutely stunning. All three dresses are gorgeous and 3 really suits your shape but...the lace of dress two looks so much more luxurious and intricate. Plus the Emma dress will suit your shape perfectly also...after alterations! Gah I'd love to be a size 6 ...

    Oh the photos look a lot better when you hit reply! Now that I can see them properly I think that No. 3 looks the best on you (although they all look good!) I really like the folds around the waist and hips. Saying that though, the Emma looks great with the sleeves on.

    Yeh I don't know why they're nit showing up properly. I blame my iPad. In reality I'm 5'8 and size 6-8 so hence why pooofy dresses just look ridiculous on me. I love Mockingjay but when I tried it on it was far too heavy and I just looked scrawny and snappable.

    Im leaning towards the Mori Lee because I worry I will look too straight in the others. So hard when they were all far too big when I tried them on. Shop said they can order catwalk sample for me to try so think I'll have to do that to get better idea. Really love them all. As for the tattoos - will be wearing a lace coverlet for the ceremony to smarten myself up Smiley winking

    If you're going for a coverlet, don't get Emma because you won't even get to see the lovely sleeves! I personally don't think you need to cover tattoos, they're part of you, but it's obviously whatever you feel most comfortable. For what it's worth, I don't think the others make you look straight at all, you have a lovely waist in all three dresses.

    If you're still not sure try a few more on and see how you feel

    I love the styling you have gone for in all 3 dresses, but for me the 2nd dress (emma) looks stunning on you and I love the cap sleeves!

    I'm always out of step with popular opinion on these kind of threads but imo you look incredible in the first dress and my least fave is no 3 - looks kind of cheap and that ruching is for someone that needs to hide their belly which you absolutely dont need to do!

    They actually all look FANTASTIC (ugh, jealous!) but i think number 2 is beautiful, i like the sleeves as they are not too fussy but provide a bit of coverage if strapless is too nakey for you! I think the bottom of the dress is lovely.

    However, i do think whichever one you pick will be lovely as they are quite similar and all look wonderful.

    Agreed, I don't like number 3 at all (sorry!). First one is stunning.
