    Hi ladies!

    I have been torturing myself over picking a dress. I just dont know what I want and feel like nothing looks good! There are 3dresses that I think I like, but I am just not sure if they are the one. I never thought about weddings before planning my own, so I have no set ideas. PLEASE PLEASE give me some opinions on these dresses. Or should I be looking for something else??? I am running out of time!!! Thanks so much for an feedback!! PS the wedding is in July, ceremony in 100 year old church and reception at a golf course- historical art deco building for cocktail and beautiful air conditioned tent for dinner.

    THANK YOU!

    DRESS #1 (would be more fitted)

    Desperately need opinions please- DRESS!! :  wedding dress Dress1 Shantung Taffeta

    DRESS #2 (would get in ivory- this pic is white)

    Desperately need opinions please- DRESS!! :  wedding dress Dress2 Satin

    DRESS #3 (has straps- would remove straps and flatten bubble hem somewhat)

    Desperately need opinions please- DRESS!! :  wedding dress Dress 3  Taffeta

    DRESS #3 Side Detail (would prob remove some of the small flowers)

    I personally love the 1st dress the best!

    Dress number 2 is really plain and since you want to remove a lot of the detail on dress 3 it might be a waste of money.

    I love Dress 1 on you. I would even venture to say that if you were in to it... make the sweetheart neckline a bit more prominent. Show the girls off a bit! Number 3 is lovely, as well. I just find Dress 1 to be more suited for your curves! LOVE IT.

    I like #1 the best, #2 second. The third, IMHO, does nothing for you awesome shape :)

    Def 1 - It really compliements your shape & makes you look even on top & bottom.

    2 is a little too boring for my taste. I like 3, but on you, I think it makes you look really top heavy & wide on top.

    Really love all of them!  I voted for number one because I think it will make your waist look TINY when it's fitted with the belt.

    I prefer the top of #3, and the bottom of #1, lol.  The top on #3 is more flattering to your bust, because it flares out and doesn't cinch in anything that shouldn't be cinched. But the mermaid shape looks beautiful on your hourglass shape.  I'd keep looking, if you have time.

    They all look fantastic but I like #2 I think the allusion of the v-neck with the beading looks amazing on you and that dress gives you a teenie waist! :) good luck with the decision there isn't a bad one in the bunch! :)

    honestly- none of them, i like the SHAPE of the top of #3 (its very flattering on you) and the bottom of #1 BUT, i dont like the V of diamonds on #3, I would just have them put rhinestones scattered on the top or in some other kind of patter not the V.

    I think #1 is really gorgeous on you! They all look good though, #1 is just my personal favorite because of what it does for your great shape!

    I actually didn't vote... I think that if you're not really sure on either of these dresses, maybe keep looking? I'm sorry this has been so rough on you. It's easy to be overwhelmed by all of the variety out there. Maybe since this is a new thing just take a deep breath, think about what your vision is for your day, which silhouette you would most enjoy wearing and then try again?

    i voted dress one because the neck area is more open but if you could somehow alter the neckline of three I would prefer that one :)

    I love the top of #2 and bottom of #3. Overall, i think you should keep looking since your unsure of all of them yourself

    I always strive to be honest, so I'm going to tell you that, although all three dresses have some nice virtues, I do not like any of them for you. I voted that you should keep looking.

    I'm saying this because I can tell by the pic of you in Dress #2 that you have a beautiful figure, and I think that, of all three dresses, the second one is the most figure flattering. However, I am not a fan of the bustline on that dress.  I think Dress #1 cuts your body into thirds, and it does not flatter your figure.  Dress #3 has some gorgeous detailing in those flowers; however, the dress seems to swallow up your body, and I do not like the contrasting-colored V detailing at the neckline.

    I definitely would keep looking at more dresses in the shape of the second one.

    Best wishes on your wedding, whichever dress you select!

    I LOVE your shape in the first. You have the most awesome hourglass figure and the dress complements it perfectly.

    The second is pretty but doesn't have the wow factor, it hides your gorgeous curves! The third swallows you whole and IMO the side detail makes you look wider than you are.

    Thank you soooo very much for all of your detailed comments!!! I really appreciate it! Just to make my life more difficult, I am elimintating dress #2 above and replacing it with this dress (see pic). The fabic is taffeta and feels lighter than the satin one above. Also my sister says this dress has a younger feel. Anyone like this one? I could put whatever bling in the center I want. This sample was a but small, so the "girls" would look better in a fitted dress I'm sure.  THANKS AGAIN!!!

    Dress # 2 Replacement (would be more fitted) and bling would prob be more blingyDesperately need opinions please- DRESS!! :  wedding dress Dress 2 Replacement 2
