    I tried on dresses at David's Bridal today.  It's funny, but styles I thought I would love, I wound up hating!  I am not going to say which is my favorite yet because I want honest opinions.  It was so nice to be able to try on so many dresses.  I was worried because my street size is a 20.  Here are the dresses I tried on.  What do you think???First time trying on dresses.

    I love the second dress and the last dress.  They really show off your waist!

    #7 (The second to last) is my absolute favorite! It's look BEAUTIFUL on you! I love the lace shoulders! Personally 3 and 5 are my least favorites!

    I had a great experience at DB's and got my dress from there! I was the same exact way, the styles I loved online I hated on me.

    Good Luck :) :) Can't wait to know which one is your favorite. As I've seen a Poster on another dress thread say, the best accessory is YOU. Whatever you feel best in, will be the most beautiful one:)

    I like #'s 1, 2 and 8.  I think the last one is really flattering, I tried it on, too, and loved it, so maybe I'm biased?!  lol... and I like 1 & 2 because they're sweet, and have a little sparkle on them.  I think it depends on the look you're going for, you definitely have great options!!

    Nice choices, I love #2. And, my friend wore the last one and it's so pretty!

    PS, I did the same thing! I had a dress picked out online, and then tried it on and hated it. The one I chose I hadn't even looked at online! I've actually never seen anyone wear the first one I chose, so maybe others had the same experience.

    I like 4, 6, and 8.  I think 6 is my favorite.  The dresses with either a V-neck or sweetheart necklines are the most flattering.  I think the ones with the straight-across strapless or sleeves (5, 7) make you look broader across the shoulders.  I would also like #2 if it was modified to a sweetheart.

    Since you have over a year and this was your first trip, I would recommend looking around a little more. Mori Lee and Allure have plus-size lines that are beautiful and in the same price range.

    Two is stunning on you, I also kind of like the tea length but not near as much as the second one.

    My favorite on you is #3, then the last dress. The dreses with straps give you a much longer line, and feature your waist. The strapless dresses cut you off and make your shoulders look broader.

    The one with the lace bolero is the least flattering.

    #2 looks absolutely perfect on you!  The silouhette is very flattering and I love the detailing on the gown.  So, which do you love?

    EDIT:  If you choose 2, maybe you could consider changing the neckline to sweetheart to soften it a bit.

    My little brother and I are sitting here, and we think the 2nd one and the bottom one look great on you! Excited for you that you can try on dresses--looking forward to hearing which one was the winner!

    Add a poll so you don't have to tally all the votes manually :)

    I love #1, somewhat #2 and the last one.

    However, I think #2 is not as flattering as #1 is due to the straight neckline. The sweetheart neckline is very flattering on you and is prettier/more feminine.

    I also really like the last one for is neckline. The shaping on the torso gives you a nicely defined waist and I think the train gives the illusion that your taller than simply a floor length dress such as #1.

    Ok so overall I think the last one accentuates your body best and is an elegant and timeless dress!

    Number 2 takes little pieces from all the dresses and puts them together in a beautiful way. 2!

    8 (the last one) is my absolute favorite!  It is beautiful and very flattering.

    BTW, you should number them and add a poll.  It would make it easier to give our opinion(s) plus many bees might not comment but they would vote.
