    Hello everyone. I am getting married next year and am starting my dress hunt. I have narrowed it down to 3 dresses that I love so much I can't choose. My wedding is going to be very formal with a vintage theme. All of my centerpieces are going to be made of white ostrich feathers. So, I am wanting a dress that goes with this theme but I do not want to be too over the top. What do you guys think?

    Hmm -- they're all similar (flowy skirts with fitted bodices) but I think I like the second one the best.  Have you tried them all on yet?  How does each one make you feel?

    Thanks for the help. I do not have pictures of me wearing the dresses. However, I like 2nd one because it has a dropped waist so it is more slimming. But the third one goes with my theme perfectly. And I just havnet found it possible to reject the first one completely yet.

    I like the second one best with your theme.  Have you tried dresses on yet?  Do you know what works best on you?

    I'd go try some dresses on in a variety of different styles to see what really pops on you... but I definitely like your style choices so far! Also check out August15th's thread on what dresses we thought we'd get compared to what we did get.  Many of us surprised ourselves with what we chose!

    Wow - they are all beautiful and very dramatic! I love number 3 - I've never seen anything like it. I'd say go with #3 if you can pull off that look (I wish I could pull off a look like that!), but number 2 is my 2nd favorite - that one is a bit less extreme.

    thecolorteale    June 5, 2010 ...yeah we changed it a 3rd & final time.   Chattanooga, TN

    My vote is the first one. The bodice and the big flower on the hip just scream vintage elegance to me.

    I know you said you don't want to go over the top and the bottom 2, they're pretty but they might push you're "over the top" button lol.

    I like the skirt of #2 with the bodice of #3. Depends on how busty you are...#3 would look skankalicious on me, but i still like it =].

    The big quesiton is, how do they look on YOU? They look great on the models, but you're right, the dropped waist is usually more flattering. All gorgeous though!

    I like the third one - I definitely feel it carries into your ostrich feather centerpieces and is extremely avant-garde. My second favorite is the first one. :)

    #1 is my favorite but I agree that #3 probably fits your theme best.
