    ladies -- i don't have close female friends or family where we live so i'd love more opinions! i also ordered all these dresses online so i don't even have the benefit of the opinion of the sales clerks... 

    which of these dresses is more flattering? these are of course pre-alterations.  i am also expected to lose about 15-17 more pounds before the wedding due to the medical diet i am on, and will hopefully have firmed up some of the flabby arm fat :-) 

    1. j-crew cecilia

    2. j-crew sophia 

    3. calvin klein

    I love the third one on you. It is very slimming on you and accentuates all the right curves.

    the second one complements your figure well!  Did you buy all three?

    Interesting, since I LOVE the first one! I think it's a great mix of vintage vibe with classic sensibility...

    But honestly (and I don't usually say this with dress-deciding posts), I think all three are lovely on you and whichever you choose will be great!

    Honestly, I really like them all!  I think you will look great no matter which one you choose, so I say pick which ever one seems to fit with the style of your wedding more.  The first two look more day time and would work well for an outdoors or more casual wedding, while I think the third would be great for an evening or more formal reception...

    The second one is more flattering. THe third one squishes your boobs and takes your figure away.

    I voted for number 3 because of the colour. I think it suits you so well. But I really like 2 because i think that style suits you better.

    I choose the second one! I like the neckline on that one and it looks more sophisticated - this is my opinion!

    this is so fascinating! i can't believe the spread of opinions -- i've sent the same pictures to my sister, mom and a few friends and there is no consensus at all! i guess that is great in that i can't go wrong whichever i choose!  (hmmm, 2 dresses? :-))

     

    interestingly, the second one (sophia) - which got the most votes - is teh one i ws most concerned about because i think it really made my boobs look giant! someone suggested trying it on with a different bra which might change the entire look, i'll have to try that today.  (the irony is i had a breast reduction in 2003, so you'd think i'd be done worrying about that, but maybe i am just really sensitive to it from before the surgery).

    i'm usually the most decisive and impulsive person so i am sort of amused at myself for being so indecisive on this!!!! 

    keep 'em coming, i really appreciate it!

    I agree with trying #2 with a different braw. I think a little "boost" would send that dress over the top!!! Love it the most!!!

    I chose #2. I would have chosen #3, but the bust is doing something weird to your chest area. If the bust was made a little bigger, then I would have picked that one!

    The halter accents your top TOO perfect to go with any other choice.  The snug bodice also accentuates your hourglass figure the best.

    It looks great.

    The 2nd one looks amazing on you. But I like the colour (although not the cut on you) of #3. But I would go with the 2nd one.

    I think the second one is the best one as well. The cut and color as well as the snug bodice really flatters your body

    The number 3 on you looks amazing! The color is beautiful with your skin tone.  I gives you a tiny waist!
