HELP! Which dress??

I much prefer the 3rd, but I like simple and elegant and don't go for the 'wow' factor, so it depends what you're after. I hope I won't offend but number 2 reminds me of a gypsy doll sitting on a loo roll... I bet in person it looks so different but in between those other 2 it just doesn't look like a contender - for me.

Don't hate me! Lol....

Number 3 is definitely my favourite too, but I hate sparkly shiny bits, so probably not much use to you! Think about how each one would look in the context of your whole day; like what will it look like in your venue etc.

Number 3 is nice on you, but I actually think number 2 makes your figure look great! I don't really know...as these dresses are very different to mine, but you look great in this style! Something about number 2...it is very dramatic and makes your waist look tiny in comparison to the others. Number 3 is lovely too. I think number 1, lovely as it is, doesn't do your figure justice in the same way 2 and 3 do. I vote 2.

Thank you all of you... don't worry I haven't taken offence, it's nice to get some opinions from neutral people x

3rd one! Then first then second in that order

Number 3.... U look great

Number 3 is the best by far... Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of one or two!

Number 3 is nice but like you said something about it that doesn't make me go wow. I like number 2. personally I think it compliments you better than the first.

If you can’t decide are you sure any of them are ‘the one'? Do any of them take your breath away?

The dress structure on number two is very flattering but i personally dislike the skirt ... i love the design of number one but numbr three is more flattering, but that could be the way you are standing as its different in each shot

its so hard to choose!! pick the one you feel most amazing in - no matter what opinons are given x

Agree 3, 1 and then 2

Again, thank you to all that have given an opinion. Both 2 and 3 were the correct size for me but number 1 was a size too small which could be why it doesn't look as flattering!!

Keep the opinions coming x

Definitely number 3.

1 and 2 are too fussy for me.

Just going by your descriptions of the dresses it's obvious that your favourite is number 1 so I would go with your instinct ( and it's stunning ) xx

OP, I will say though, if you're more drawn to dresses like 1 & 2, maybe focus on that style more and come back with another selection of pics, lol.

I don't think the ones above are overly popular with the crowd here but others in a similar style may well be and you might get clearer or more useful feedback about what suits you most, if feedback is what you'd like. What I'm trying to say is that number 3 might be the front runner just because of the group they're in, not because it's the ideal dress IYSWIM. Not sure how helpful I'm being, oops. Have you got more you plan to look at/try?

Not sure why, because it wouldn't usually be my taste, but I like number 2 the best. A little Anna Karenina, especially with the scarf/stole. Don't think it will look good at all with a veil, so depends on your feelings there?

I actually really like number 1 on you.

Has to be No.3 for me. Think it suits you very well.

No.1 has a lot going on. No.2 seems like two dresses merged. No.3 looks very elegant and classic.

The top of dress No.2 makes you look tiny, really pulls in at the right places.

I actually love 1 and 2. Number 3 just looks 'nice' and I don't like the bottom of it at all. That hem just looks unfinished.

The lace on number 1 is gorgeous and I like that it seems to be a different colour (would love to see the back!)

Number 2 is dramatic and a bit different. You'd have to get the right accessories.

So, 1, 2 then 3 though I don't really like 3 at all. I think the fact it has a veil makes it look more 'finished' than the others which gives it an advantage over the others.

Just based on your comments you seem to prefer no.1. You say you love this dress, it's light and different. With the other two you just give facts. So based simply on that I think you are leaning towards no.1. However if you are undecided maybe it's because you haven't found your dress yet. THese three have similar shapes so you seem to have picked the shape you prefer. Maybe go out hunting again for something else in this shape which incorporates more of what you want or has elements from each of the dresses you like.

Now to my opinion, while no.2 does give you a very tiny waist it is not my cup of tea. I have never really liked the dresses with a different skirt to top but that's just my choice. No. 3 looks lovely but is fairly samey there are lots of dresses like that but it is a classic and you look nice. I like no.1 also. I don't think the photo has been taken from such a good angle as the other two so it is hard to compare them. You also said this wasn't your size which may have something to do with it too. It is different I don't think I've seen a dress like that before.

Now, to me, there isn't an awful lot of difference in the necklines. They're all strapless with sweetheart necklines and I think they all suit you well and give you a nice boob and waistline (wish my boobs filled a frock like that!). My personal taste would be 3, one of my criteria when choosing was not too much bling so number one wouldn't have even been plucked off the rack. However, I think you may want a dress that's a bit more standout than that. The most unusual of the three is number 2 I think. Like mrs b said, I'd probably go without a veil. I do like the stole though

I'd say 3 and 1 are my fave... Is number one a Justin alexander signature? I'm sure I've seen that, really loved the look of it but never got to try it! I do love a bit of sparkle though, like you say in the light they look amazing... and sparkly buttons down the train? love. I do love the shape of number 3... if you are missing a bit of sparkle, you can always ask seamstress to incorporate some subtle embellishments on the dress, or add button details to the back? They can work wonders and doesn't actually end up costing too much more... Another idea some dress shops had for me was to use a different bridal belt, sometimes in a neutral beige or blush pink colour with some embellishments... I really found this could really lift a dress, without the need for added sparkle on the dress itself....

Number 1 is my favourite, like BuffyBoo I'm a bit of a magpie and like the sparkle.

I can't make my mind up on 2, number 3 is pretty though.

I think from your descriptions number 1 is your favourite - perhaps go and try them on again and see how you feel. :-)

I was just about to say that it might be due to sizing, but although dress 1 is stunning (and my personal favourite as a style), it does make your b00bs a bit of a focus! Whereas dress 3 looks more elegant and demure in my opinion. But that could very well be due to dress 1 being a size too small so I wouldn't let that put you off going for that one if it's your favourite.

3, then 1, then 2.

I really like number 2 but I also really love number 1 and 3 - oh this is too hard and its not even my dress, I think you look great in all of them, choose the one you feel more comfortable in

I made my mind up before i looked at everyones comments but i do concur!

Number 3 is just gorgeous and most def my fave.. super flattering and bridal, 1 is pretty too but extremely formal, not personally a fan of number 2 sorry although all three dresses suit your lovely figure!!

But go with your heart, we'd never all agree

I love all the sparkle on no.1 but no.3 just has the edge for me! I'd look at a few more dresses if I were you, you'll know which dress is the one for you as you won't be torn! Worked wonders for me when I had the same dilemma! GL

Totally agree with Shropshire lass, when you have found the one, you won't be torn. I was considering a couple of dresses, and then tried on mine and didn't want to look at any more!

If you went back and tried them on again you might get that feeling once you have had time away now to think... or tried other dresses on.. If you can't stop thinking about one, that's always a good sign! x

I was still torn when I ordered mine. Never got THE feeling and I'm not the sort of girl that would cry over a dress, not because it isn't important, just because I'm not like that. In the end I chose my dress based on the fact that it had each of the things that i'd liked about other dresses and I felt it was a bit more 'bridal' than some of the others.

tricky decision. I have to say though OP I think from your initial post that you may prefer 1. You seem to love that one but think the other two as more dull. I think 2 is the most unusual in design, 3 I think most designers have a dress in their collection along these lines so I can understand your point there and 1 is lovely and sparkly. I don't think you can go wrong here but go with whichever you keep coming back to or using as the benchmark.

3 looks good on you but it doesn't really have the wow factor for me and by the sounds of it you're looking for something a bit different. I really love two on you and I know from trying a similar dress on that the split skirt bit looks much better in real life. 1 is nice but not really my style so hard to judge! I'd say keep looking at similar things for a while and you might find something that has a bit of each of these

Guess im against the crowd but I really dont like number 3 ☹️ its plain and average to me (Ive seen many like it)

number 2 is best imho its not 'my' style but its beautiful and has a Disney princess feel to it

I like the detail on number one and you seem madly in love with number 1 from the OP so go with your heart
