Need your help choosing my dress for our 1940s engagement photos. I am 5 3 blonde tiny bust, tiny waist and large hips. We are going to take the photos with old vintage airplanes and suitcases.

No. 2 is FABULOUS! And I think it would photograph the best, considering the theme.
But honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them :)
I LOve #2, its not too dressy to be around vintage airplanes and suitcases, but sexy enough for that era for photos!
I love all the looks though!

I think #3 will be very flattering for you :) but they all look cute
Sheesh, you really can't go wrong with any of them. :o)
My fav. is the second one, with the third one being a close runner up.

wow those are awesome. I love #2 and #3 equally. I would go with which ever one looks best on you. Where are those dresses from?
The second one is my favorite! It has a 1940s army wife feel. So classy!
Meowkers- these are from stop staring clothing online. They have lots of dresses to choose from.
#3 is also my favorite. Just be sure to take into account where you're having your pictures done. If you think you'll blend in too much, then I also really like #1!
#2! Super cute!

Bridetobe2010. Good point. I'm not sure what the color of the airplanes are that will be in the background. Most of them in the 1940s were dull gray or a bright red/yellow. My profile pic of the girl on the plane is my go by. We won't do a sexy pose like that... well maybe one or two for the FI's eyes only ;)
I love the third one, though they're all great. You describe yourself as petite with larger hips. The flutter sleeves will draw the eye up and give you height! What a great idea!! Hope you post pictures!
I love #2, but I think I'm with Perfume on #3 probably working better for your shape. I really hope you post pics...I love this idea!!

I love them all, especially #2. I have a shape similar to yours and imagine that #3 would probably be the most flattering.
#3 is the best. I also like white and red dress for vintage effect.
Thanks everyone for their opinions! I would have thought #1 would be the pick. But then again I keep going back to #3 and staring at it! Can't wait to order it and take the e-pics!
#2, all the way! I like the siplicity and how the detail around the top will bring they eyes upwards. all cute dresses, but #2 is definitely the classic one.
I LOVE number 2!!! I think 1 and 3 are more 2000ish on a 40s take, but number 2 looks like it just came from the 40s its classic and beautiful!
I'm loving #2 :)
....and in case you need any photo inspiration, I wrote a blog post on this a little while ago - my FI and I were going to do the same thing, but it fell through :(

I like #2 for me and #3 for you.
Love that you're doing a themed session, I really hope you are planning on sharing the pcitures!
Love #3 for you; just NOT #1-it reminds me of a Halloween costume. :)
