Hi Everyone -
I went dress shopping and am torn between three dresses. I've attached photos of all three and would love opinions!

i choose #2. i like the ribbon around your waist, drawing your waist in and the fabric as it falls to the ground (dont know the techincal term for it)
you seem to be smiling more in #3... is that your fav?
I think the one with the gold ribbon is the most flattering on you...you're a beautiful girl and I think that one makes your body look great.
Dress #1 Definitely! It gives you such a flattering shape. The detail looks so beautiful on you. My least favorite is dress #3. Remember though...you need to be happy.

I like dress 3... lol sorry xD They are all nice though! I see why you're having a hard time choosing lol

I should have clarified that my facial expression has nothing to do with what I think of it - I think I was smiling in the last picture b/c my girlfriend finally arrived to watch me try them on!
I am torn between the first one and the one with the gold ribbon. The gold ribbon one is $225 more. The first one was my # 1 choice until I tried on the gold ribbon one...sigh.
If you're going to keep the champagne color in #2 then thats definitly my vote. It makes your skin look really good, and it brings out your highlights.
You look like the type of person who looks really in golds and browns like that.
Of the 3, I like the 1st one the best, with the 3rd in 2nd place. I'm not a huge fan of the basque waist, but I know a lot of people still love it!
I really love the detail on the skirt of the 1st dress!
If you think the 2nd dress is the one for you, I might suggest that you consider creating a more sweethearted neckline.
Now that I hear that you love the one with the gold ribbon...I say go for it!! My dress was a little over my budget...but I knew it was the one. Good luck!

I adore the gold ribbon one - though I hate to buy one of the most expensive dresses at David's Bridal! I would be torn on ordering it in the existing color (champagne) or having them custom make it in ivory.
We've already bought the bridesmaids dresses and I'm scared they'll look bad next to that color!
Here is a pic of the BM dress:

I think the first one is the most flattering on you by a mile! The sweetheart neckline plus dropped waist are an really play up your figure!
Your BM dress(es) are fabulous!!! GAH!!! Why can't my friends pick dresses like that when I'm a BM?! Dress #2 is super flattering on you, if you decide on that one I think it would look great with your BM dresses!
No no no my color is Clover to! lol Champagne looks really good with Clover! :D
I'd keep the 2nd dress as is because it looks really good on you as is.
I love the 2nd one on you! It cinches your waist and makes you look beautiful! Thats my vote!

I vote for number one. Looks so lovely on you and accentuates your figure juuust right! Lovely!

The third one is way to shiny for my preferences, and will probably not photograph well on the day.
And I'm going to be blunt. The first one in my opinion draws way to much attention to your bust.
You just look beautiful in the 2nd one.
I like blunt! And I agree about # 3 being too shiny - it is pretty much out of the running now!
I just spent an hour reading all of Mrs. Pineapple's threads - so much fun to see my dress in action and she has awesome advice too!
I didn't think about # 1 calling too much attention to my chest - that is definitely something to think about, I am a bit busty and I would hate for people to be focusing on that at the wedding. They had said they could alter it so it would be a little bit more fitted but I don't think that is going to help.
The only problem I have now - I sent my mother these pictures along with a few others I had already ruled out - she hates the one with the sash! Now, I know it is my wedding, I know I'm paying for it, and I know I'm the one who needs to be happy with it. But it sure would be nice for her to like my dress!

Definitely the first dress! The sweetheart neckline is very flattering on you!
i like #2

The first. It's lovely, very flattering.
I'm not a fan of the meringue folds and so and sos in the 2nd one.
The third is very shiny and....shines far too much

I can't decide whether I like #2 or #3 more. I don't like #1 because it's wrinkled. Will it also wrinkle on the day of the wedding with the material being used?
I think #1 looks best. The detail on the neckline is beautiful & draws the attention to your beaming smile!
I love #2 on you. I think it is so flattering. Maybe if your mom saw it in person? Keep us posted!
The colors of dress #2 look best against your skin tone.
They are all flattering on you, but I think the one with the gold band looks the best on you!
Thanks! # 2 is totally where I am leaning - though at $850 the price has me gasping a bit (I am very very frugal-or I was before wedding planning!). I am taking my mom to see it in person later this week - though I'll be instructing the sales person not to mention the price!

Even though I don't like pickups, I love #2 on you. And I think it will look great with your bridesmaid dresses.

DEFINITELY the ribbon around the waist, pickup skirt

I think #3 by far! I'm kind of shocked that no one else has said 3.

Even though I'm not a fan of pick ups, I like #2 the best on you. I do agree with whoever else said that you should alter it into a slight sweetheart though. The neckline on #1 is perfect for you.
I love #2 on your the ribbon waistband looks great and i think it would go well withyour BM's dresses
Love love #2. It added a classy color and, I agree with eloping above, your waist look tiny.

I guess, I too am in the minority, but I actually like #3 best on you. I think it is the most classically elegant dress and very flattering on you.
Clearly, you see with all of our varied responses, you can't go wrong with any dress. 
I just like the third the most--it makes you look like such a beautiful bride! The satin sheen may just be from the lighting in the room, but either way, I don't think it's too much and it compliments the satin sash on your bridesmaids dresses perfectly
