    Dear Hive,

    After having a bridal store nightmare searching for my mystery dress I am offically burned out shopping.  I thought this would of been the easiest decision but it has become the hardest and most scary. 

    Can you give me some advice?  These are the three contenders.  Which one do you like?

    Note that I am hourglass shape, 5'6" and medium skin tone.  We are having an outdoor ceremony (finger crossed).

    As always thanks Bees!

    I like the Mon Cheri best, but I don't know if it would fit the venue if you want it outdoors. If you don't care if it "fits" then it's a nice choice, but otherwise I have to go with LV20 (just becareful that that waist line doesn't cut you in half)

    none of the above, sorry - I don't like the hip line on the first two, or else I'd pick the second one

    I absolutely love the Mon Cheri! It made me think "why didn't I see this one when I was shopping?"

    I think that all of them are beautiful, but I think the first one will be most appropriate for outdoors. The third dress is gorgeous, not sure that it is an "outdoorsy dress" though.

    i think the allure is lovely. the lv20 is very pretty as well, just make sure that the low waistline doesn't cut you off at the wrong point--it does for me, but it may work better on your figure.  the mon cheri is so grand--what a statement!  i guess it depends on the feel you want--grand ballroom or something a little more fitted? as for it being outdoors, i really believe that you can wear whatever you want outside.  let us know what you decide!

    oh i meant to say that just make sure the low waistline on both #1 and #2 work for you--i guess it just stood out to me more on the lv20, not sure why. you narrowed it down to some great choices!

    I think the LV20 Mon Cheri is the most appropriate for an outdoor wedding.

    What is your reception venue? Is it also outdoors or is it a ballroom etc?

    The ballgown was my #1 pick until I reread that yours is an outdoor wedding. So, I'd suggest the first gown.

    8565 is gorgeous and would look great for an outdoor wedding! I think the Mori Lee (the ballgown) might be too much, and while the middle dress LV20 is pretty, I think the first one seems more special. Also, I am not convinced that the design in the pattern is even flattering on the model, like it is bunched or a ring around her hips; I have a hard time picturing it.

    Not crazy about the stripes at the drop waist on the fist dress. I think without them, it would be most appropriate for an outdoor wedding. That said, I think you can really wear whatever you want outdoor or not. Let your decor, flowers and whatnot play to the outdoor venue. You pick the dress you love and feel best in.

    I don't like either of the first two for an outdoor wedding - they look very ballroom to me.  The thrid is a dress I really loved that looked awful on me, lol.  It's floaty and dreamy, so I pick #3.

    I like dress #3....I myself am around 5'6" with an hourglass figure...dresses that I tried on that were like the first two made my hips look huge....do you like how one looks on you better than the other two?

    Honestly, I'm not really sure about any of them. But, of the three, I would have to choose #1.
