    So they say you just know its the dress when you put it on, but what if I have that feeling with THREE dress! I thought I had a clear idea of what I wanted but when I went back for my second dress shopping adventure, I found a completely different style that I feel in love with and now I'm torn - PLEASE HELP! I can't decide between the three dresses. I love them all - but each one is different enough that I don't know which to choose.

    If it helps - our wedding will be in an restored historic ballroom on September 28th.

     

    (This picture is a little distorted and I would add crinoline for a fuller skirt)

    Without doubt, #1!! It looks beautiful on you and would work well with your venue :)

    Gosh, all three look lovely on you - but I love the second dress the most. It accentuates your tiny waist and is the most flattering.

    Can you remove the tulle strap, or at least the detail that's sort of sticking out of it? It's kind of distracting. The rest of the gown is beautiful, it would look amazing strapless too.

    I love #3 but I think it would look better with a crinoline just to give it a little poof. The beading is just gorgeous on the dress!

    I love Dress 2.  I think Dress 1 makes you look older.

    #1 is sooo dreamy!!!  It looks amazing on you!  The last one looks good with it hugging you but it is no where near as stunning as #1

    Dress 2 without the strap; I think dress 1 is doing weird things to your bustline, and while dress 3 is gorgeous, it looks more like an evening gown style.

    @MsNewton:  Number 1 all the way!!  It is so much more original than number 2 (I've seen it on a lot of brides) and number 1 is classier with the lace top!  Number 3 is pretty but I think number 1 is stunning!

    I LOVE dress #1, but can I ask if it was the wrong size in the shop? It seems like it's not really hugging your waist/not doing as much for your nice figure as it could. That dress would be flawless on you as long as it fits right :) You need to make sure to do your figure some justice! Gorgeous!

    Oh man, they are all three really great!  I can see why you have the problem you do.  I voted #2 - it's so flattering and gorgeous.  The first one has a little too much going on up top, and the third one is really pretty but doesn't quite compare to the others.

    You look beautiful in all three, but after I saw you in the first dress - the other two didn't even compare.  Definitely the 1st dress! :)

    When I saw #1, I thought "WOW"...and the other two dresses, while still lovely, just can't compete!  The first one is unique, gorgeous and suits your venue in my opinion.

    Hands down, my vote is for #1. You look gorgeous in it. Like it was made for you.

     

    Let us know what you decide. Any one will be lovely on you. And just think- no one at your wedding will know what dress you didn't pick. So choose whichever one you feel greatest in. I made a poll on here once about three dresses- i've since deleted the photos- but I asked the "which dress" question. I ended up choosing one that went against the voters! I just loved it. So choose what makes YOU feel the best :)

    I love #2- I find #1 a little busy at the top and midsection. I find myself being drawn to those areas rather than looking at your face? just imho

    If 2 didn't have that strap, I think it would be perfect. I'm not crazy about the one strap, so I voted for 1 which also looks great. You really do look wonderful in any of them!

    In dress 1 I looked at the dress....and then at you. In dress 2 I looked at you in the dress. I vote for dress 2, it's very flattering and you look beautiful in it.

    #2 is so romantic and flatters your figure beautifully. The one-shoulder effect is different and very lovely. That one wins my vote!

    #1 just looks a little overly busy on top - but it's pretty - and #3, meh.

    I like dress 2 but as PP have said with both straps or no straps. Just the one draws attention in a funny way :)

    #1

    Especially for your venue. It is very detailed, but I like the way the details are arranged on the dress in a balanced way, with a detailed top and a simple skirt. That helps draw the eye up to your beautiful face, and when it's adjusted properly it will show off that tiny waist even more. What sort of back does it have?

    #2 on the other hand looks more disjointed with one lot of appliqué on the skirt, another on the bodice, the one shoulder strap and the two layers and insert bit of the skirt. To me, all that detail makes the dress look a bit dated as well.

    I liked #3 as well, but I've seen the look so many times before. I have never seen a dress like #1 before (not on here anyway),

    1 or 3 for sure!  1 is very unique, 3 is gorgeous with that beading and looks stunning on you!
