    So i've been dress shopping three times. All three time with different people. I know the general style of dress I want, but I Love all of these dresses for different reasons. I'm having a pretty low key wedding. My only thought when people ask me what I want in a dress is fun and flowers.

    none of these dresses actually fit me. They're all about one size too big, so keep that in mind.

    Why is this so hard!?

    you look so pretty in all of them!!  I like the second one, because it is super fun and the neck line is so beautiful on you!  For me, the first ones neckline i s just a tad too low...  

     

    You look beautiful!

    I think the first one flatters you the best and creates the longest line.  I love the scalloped bottom and how it 's so subtle.  The second dress is interesting but chops up the line a lot.  I think you look a lot shorter.  It's my least favorite of the three.  The third one looks really nice (very filmy and flowy), but I just prefer the first.  I also think the waist embellishment tends to look better pulled over to the side a bit more rather than almost centered.

    You want to know why it's so hard!?  It's because you look fantastic in all three!  Really, you look great!  I have to say the first and second ones were neck and neck but I think the sweetheart on the first looks really good on you and your waist looks great, and I love the lace on the bottom that's kind of subtle.  The lace on the second is goregous but the sweetheart and waist aren't as obvious!

    I'm going to follow the crowd and say the 1st one. I liked it as soon as I scrolled down, 2nd was ok but the more I looked at it the less I liked it, the 3rd did nothing for me.

    What do you like about each one? Or are you leaning more towards one over the other?

    Yep, dress one.

    @hisbunny: I think it may be slightly too low because its not in the right size?

    Wow! I was really leaning toward number three, because of the bottom. I love how it is flowy and playful, but there are are few things I don't like about it. It doesn't have a sweetheart, the back of it is pretty plain, and it doesn't have a train. I really like the structure of the top and the flower detail.

    I thought I would absolutely love the second one when I saw it online, but when I tried it on, there's just something off about the way the top is made. Maybe because it's super big on me and if it fit it would look a lot better. It actually has a ribbon sash that goes around it and accentuates the waistline too, but the ladies didn't want to take it out of the bag at first (i did convince them to let me try it, but i don't have a good pic of it on)

    The first one I ell in love with from the very beginning. It's actually suppose to have spaghetti straps, but i didn't like them so i didn't wear them. The top would need to be taken in, and it wouldnt be so revealing I think, but the fit was absolutely perfect. I loved it, but i wish it was a bit more flowy.

    That's why i can't decide! But it seems like most everyone agrees that the first one looks the best on me.

    Hey...I know you!  I personally would choose 2, then 1, then 3...but I know how much you love the all tulle bottom and #3 has that.  You look great in all 3 though!

    #1!! It looks amazing on you, and it also looks super fun and very expensive. I don't care for the bottom of #2... looks a little stiff. #3 is pretty but not as special as #1 and I feel like its a pretty popular dress.

    the first one!  The thrid one is beautiful on you but the first one just looks better to me.  But you can't go wrong.  My sister told me while I was looking there is no WRONG when it comes to wedding dresses.  Just make yourself happy.

    I first picked #2, then I looked again and I realized I was looking at the dress and thinking it seemed very "fun", but I didn't notice YOU at all, if that makes sense?  It seems to be wearing you and not the other way around.  The skirt is fabulous but almost too distracting.

    So I vote #1.  It's fun and pretty and VERY flattering.  But you are wearing IT, not the other way around.

    If you DO go with number 3, I would definitely have the neck altered to a sweetheart more like #1 because the sweetheart looks much much better on you.

    not sure if it's the lighting or the angle (or the addition of the veil), but #1 is just stunning on you!  Because of the sweetheart neckline that's a bit more pronounced than dress #2, and that sash detail, it also makes your waist look itty bitty ;)

    they are all honestly beautiful dresses, but #1 definetly takes the prize imo!
