I like the shape the best of number 1, i love the fact that number 2 has nice detail on the top and love the pick ups on number 3! The thing is i have tried on probrably over 50 dresses now and this is just 3 of them that i like! I loved number 2 the best when i tried it on but when i look back at the photos i think it's not best flattering on my tummy (i do have 2 children and 1 is only 9 months!) I am really stuck i have been looking for months and loved so many but never had a definate feeling of "this is the one" and honestly dont think i will! I have loved 2 other dresses before and gone back to try it on a second time and found i didnt like them as much! Started looking months ago and its a real pain organising to go as everytime i have to organise someone to look after my children while i go with my mum. My mum is the only one mostly available to have them but i want her with me! And my partner has already taken so much time off work for me to go....
Ps For those that have mentioned that i look more comfortable in number 2, its just that i was posing in that one and not so much in the others lol xx
I know what you mean about the shinyness of number 1, it is dutchess satin, i do love this dress but am worried it will be to heavy and i will be to hot in it as i am geting married in July. I do think number 1 flatters my body the most though.
Wow-two kids and a figure like that, what is your secret?! Hehe. If it helps I didn't have 'the one' moment (tho I hadn't the patience to try on as many as you!) I chose based on what I felt best in without thinking too much about the details and then compared price! Which is you mums fave?
Personal preference is number 1, but since it's satin and you are worried about being too hot/dress will be heavy for a hot sunny July day, I think number three looks great on you and is probably a better option.
You look lovely in all of them though so no decision will be the wrong one if that makes sense?
Weight watchers and buggyfit lol! I am so glad you have said you didnt have 'the one' moment either- there's too many to just like one! Its just so confusing! The annoying thing is i still want to try more on even though i have tried loads and i dont know if thats becuase i am enjoying the experience and dont want it to end or i havent found it yet! As i said there are loads i like! My mums fave was the 2nd one, she and the shop assistant said my face lit up with that one compared to the others. But now that i look back at the pic alls i can see is my tummy and its just not flattering for it!
I just dont know wether its an imprtant enough reason not to get that dress though if you get me! Number 3 was lovely 2 but i just wasn't sure about the neckline as it wasn't sweetheart. What do you guys think about the necklines and which is best? I always thought sweetheart was best for me you see but think i could probs get away with just strapless if needed?
I personally prefer 3 as I love chiffon/floaty dresses. The shape of 1 is most flattering though slightly shiny and as pointed out, hot for July. I didn't have a crying/emotional reaction to my dress, it was the only one that made me feel special and I couldn't fault it. I just stopped there rather than try on more to be sure. I didn't mind trying on dresses but was pleased to have it done. Everyone is different so go with your instincts.
I think you look beautiful in number 1, but I also see the appeal of number 2 as it is very princessy! You figure looks incredible in 1, but it sounds like you might feel more comfortable in 2. x x x
WSS - agree with all of the above. The main thing is, they are all beautiful dresses, and you look fabulous in all of them, so don't panic or fret about making the wrong choice - any of them would be great!
Dress two is MY favourite (as in, it's the one I'd pick if I were wearing it), and you look great in all 3. But dress 1 looks the best on you, I think.
1 or 2 would be my choice, you look lovely in number 1 and the detailing on it is really beautiful, but if you're worried about how hot you'd get probably not ideal. Number 2 is so lovely, really princessy but flattering.
Wow i really didn't expect so much response! Really appreciate it though girls!
Just to really confuse you all (as i am already) Here is the original dress that i think did give me butterflies at the time but the 2nd time i tried it on i wasn't quite sure about the creased effect of the taffetta material (not sure if you can tell by the pic?) It is pretty much the same as dress number 1 except its taffetta not satin and doesnt have the belt. However if i was to get this dress i would probrably add something to either the top of it or the waistline to give it a little something extra. Please do note that it is miles to big on me and it did look better in real life than in the pic!
And then here is my other finalist which i love!
Does anyone think either of these are any better? If so why?
Shall we call these numbers 4 and 5? Ha, so many dresses! Loving looking at them though!
I have to say, I love the shape of the bodice on 4, and I agree on adding some sparkle to the top, and then maybe a simple waist belt with not as much detailing on as dress number 1. I also agree with the skirt...I found a dress I LOVED the bodice of, but I couldn't get my head round the bottom, which had lots of tucks in.
I'm not keen on number 5, but that is just personal preference.
I was going to say 1 but I don't really like the shineyness, I think number 4 is pretty similar but not shiny so I'd say 4. but as others have said, you look great in all of them so I don't think you can make a 'wrong' decisions, just whatever you felt best in
I recently tried on dress number 1 and it was a lovely shape, the belt is lovely too. I personally found it heavy but then i am only 5ft 1. i like dress number 2 but all of them look beautiful on you x
Ha, well you look great in them all, I have to say. I think that the sweetheart neckline looks gorgeous on you, which is why I'm not as keen on 3. You have a beautiful figure, so definitely show it off!
Yes, I have picked mine, I ordered it in May (we got engaged at the end of April), and getting married in December...PRAYING it shows up in time as that is quite a tight timeframe and they woman in the dress shop said it might only arrive the week before the wedding. Not ideal! I can't find any pics online either which is adding to my anxiety I have to say! Fingers crossed!
Are all your shortlisted dresses from the same shop, or from different shops? x
Aww thankyou thats lovely to hear! Does your dress not have a code/ name or do you know the designer? The first 3 are from the same shop and i think the first is a mori lee one by madeline gardner and the other 2 are sincerity. The 4th is also mori lee and the 5th is alfred angelo (both rfom different shops again) xx
The first one is my favourite for you. It's gorgeous! If not the first, then the fourth. The pleats on the bodice are lovely
I think I'm probably the only person not keen on the second. I just don't like the skirt. It's too 'straight', if that makes sense. But my favourite dress if I was choosing for me would be 3, but only because I don't suit sweetheart very well. Lol
Wow I can see why your struggling to decide! I like no 1 and no 3... 1 possibly being my fave but then no 4 is a tiny bit like mine in the fact that it's taffeta and think you look fab in that too! X
