Hello bees,
I didn't think it was possible, but I believe that I have reached wedding dress saturation. I have tried on SO. MANY. DRESSES. I'm almost ashamed at how much time I have spent obsessing over this.
So, I am asking the hive for your wisdom in the final ultimatum: which of the following dresses do you like best?
I would like to keep this a purely objective "which dress is better" poll... so those of you who remember that I have already ordered a dress, please try to ignore that. :) I'm feeling bold and I might make a switch. But I'm giving myself a week to let the decision marinate.
Please comment! Your comments help. Many thanks and love to all my fellow bees. :)
Dress #1
Dress #2
Dress #3
Dress #4
@chateau2013: honestly because your have small chest, you should steer away from such a dramatic sweetheartnek...I chose 4..the neckline accentuates your chest and doesn't appear like you are trying soo hard.
It's hard because you look great in everything! I like the first two a lot but I think the second is best.
@vasfinest: i wasn't expecting anyone to like #4, so i'm pleased that you do! :)
The first dress is my favourite then the third one.
good luck deciding
@ifheaven: i definitely don't want to look like i'm 'trying too hard' but i do like the sweetheart neckline a lot. but i realize that i don't have much to fill out that neckline! :)
I really like the first one. You look fabulous in it. I think I accidentally voted for the second one though, so just subtract a vote from 2 and think of it on dress one. =)
@allyfally: LOL. i will make a note of it. :) perhaps your one vote might be the one to swing the whole thing! :) thank you for the sweet compliment!
I love #1. It's a true fit & flare with the lace. #1 and #3 are very similiar except that #1 is all lace.
#1 is very romantic and I think it look amazing on you. #2 is no good and I think #4 is just too much. All the other dresses seem more simple and I don't like the "peplum" style.
So I would narrow it down to #1 and #3 and decide if you want lace or not.
Love following your dress journey, good to know there are brides out there as fussy as I am!
I like the first and third dresses. The first fits you beautifully, looks gorgeous with the sash. The third is just very romantic and so pretty.
The second dress doesn't fit right, and I also don't like the way the organza layers fall at the skirt. It just doesn't do much for me. The seams of the last dress bother me a little, it makes it look unfinished and a bit awkward. I also think the peplum isn't quite right, it needs to be more structured or full I think. Right now it's kind of limps.
@harperlynn: thank you! just out of curiosity, why do you not like #2? it doesn't fit as well as #1 (the sample was too big and the consultant used pins instead of clamps which don't really hold well) but i thought the two dresses were quite similar. would love your thoughts!
@peonyinparis: i've been following yours as well! i feel like we have very similar tastes and fall for the same dresses. :) thanks for the compliments on #1. i am so surprised that the ML seems to pull through every time. despite all my searching, it could have been the right one all along! (?)
I voted #3, but to be honest it didn't blow me away. I'm not really a fan of the sweetheart neckline on you - I think it just makes your boobs look smaller than they are.
Maybe try a sweetheart with an illusion neckline over the top, as that will take some of the attention away from your boobs. Or just a streight neckline instead.
I hate to even say this, but I'm not really a fan of any of them on you. I'm not even sure what to suggest, but none of them are all that flattering...but maybe its just the lighting.
Asking and getting so many opinions is always difficut, and may cause you to be even more confused and doubtful. Do any of them make you feel like you just didn't want to take it off? Have you tried all different styles and shapes?
I just think there's something else out there for you.
I just looked at your last dress poll, and the third one is the best of what I've seen on you so far,IMO.
@ItWasntMe: I'm with you. None of the dresses really have the wow factor but I kinda think it might be the fit of the dresses more than anything.
OP if i had to choose, I'd go with 1 with the sparkly belt and a deeper neckline (i think its the bust area that looks a bit odd but would look great when fixed.)
ETA: just wanted to add that an underskirt / crimoline will make all the dresses look heaps better
@chateau2013: Not surprised at all by the poll results! Good luck on choosing a dress. :)
i voted for #2...BUT the problem with this poll is that all the dresses look AMAZING on you!!! I think that is why you are having such a hard time choosing! u have a great figure that can pull off pretty much anything!
I really like #1, 2 and 4.
3- i dont like the gathering on the skirt as it makes it look messy and slightly cheapens the rest of the dress.
1 & 2 - both stunning and classic look, but i like the lace on #2 slightly more than #1
4 - is fab!! peplum is on trend, but my only worry if it will look dated in 10/20 yrs time if this trend goes sour ...u might look back and regret. It looks AMAZING on you tho.
this probably isnt much help because they honestly all look great.
I think you could easily wear any of them but #1 is my definitely my favorite!
I think 1 looks the best on you personally, but 3 is my favorite as far as style
#1, to me, is the most flattering and elegant up there! #3 is a really close second, but I just always prefer lace :) number 2 is Ok and #4 just didn't seem to flatter you as much as the others. Good luck choosing! You have such a great body for the fit and flare dress.
I accidentally voted for dress 2, I meant 1 with a belt/sash!!
In love the bottom of dress 2. I love htop I of dress 3. Those are my two choices!
#1 with a belt or #3. #3 looks a bit less formal to me, but still pretty! With your amazing figure, you could really pull off a super fitted mermaid imho, but I guess you don't want to keep shopping:)
Thank you both for being honest. Maybe that's why I feel such unrest and feel compelled to keep searching: I haven't tried anything that really wows me.
Then again, I might not be the type of bride who gets wowed. :)
@Khlobee: I'm also not a huge fan of the pickups on dress 3 but i've tried on two other dresses (which I didn't post pictures of - a nouvelle amsale and jim hjelm 8153, i think) that look almost identical to that one, minus the pickups. so if i go with this dress, i'll probably go with a version that doesn't have the pickups.
and i have the same concern regarding the peplum: i don't want to look back and say, what was i thinking?!? :) but then again, i'm fairly certain that in 20 years, styles will be so different that everything on this board will seem totally dated.
@love108: they definitely don't let you take pictures at kleinfeld... that is the dress that i ordered so i took the pictures after i made the commitment - which i have been questioning ever since! but it seems that every time i ask the question, the dress wins. so maybe i did say yes to the right dress?
@Honu: the bottom of dress 2 is precisely why i really really like it. and why i'm a little deflated that more bees don't seem to like it as much as i do!
@little_d: i really am close to shopped out! :) i did try a couple of tara keely mermaid gowns and i think the look is a little severe for me. i felt like the trumpet/fit-and-flare silhouette was a nice compromise - a way to show my figure a little without the hard line of the mermaid style.
I have no idea what YOUR dress is...but I vote #1. The second picture of it is just stunning! So romantic.
I love #2. I think it's different and I love how it seems flowy. I also like #3, it's pretty as we'll and would be my second choice. All of them look fantastic.
I love #3. There's something about the way the skirts fall on number 1 and 2 that I don't like.
