    First, Dress #1 the Milana from Maggie Sottero:

    #2. Shows off your beautiful figure and it's more "youthful" and glam.

    The other two, while gorgeous dresses, look comparitively more "mature" next to #2.

    DEFINITELY the second one!!!!  Gorgeous, gorgeous dress and it does wonders for showing off your figure!  I feel like the first and third one sort of make you look boxy, whereas the second one shows off a defined waist and hourglass figure.

    Thank you SO much for all the input!  It is really great to get some second opinions.  My maid of honor and one of my sisters are currently thousands of miles away in Africa.  Luckily they'll both be back for the wedding.  And my other sister and mom are relatively far away too.  I always have a hard time making decisions on my own so your opinions are much appreciated. :)

    #3 is a breath taking dress! It needs alterations of course to fit you perfectly, but wow. #1 would be my second favorite. I'm not a fan of the mummy dresses (sorry I don't have a better terminology for it, and I don't just mean the fact that it has rouching) so #2 wouldn't be my choice, but it is flattering on you.

    I think out of the samples, #2 looks best on you.  But it just depends on if you're more of a traditional or modern bride, I think #2 is a very modern style but may not be a classic shape forever (especially with the one shoulder strap).  #1 looks great on you, too, and has a classic, romantic feel about it that will probably never go out of style.

    Second one. No contest. It accentuates your figure PERFECTLY. Gives you a comple hourglass!

    I love the Allure... I think the other two are kind of... matronly, almost?  They age you a bit - the Allure makes you look fresh and happy!  Love it.

    I chose the first dress - I think it's beautiful and elegant.  I really liked the second dress from the front, but I hate how skinny the strap is in the back.  However, I think it would be an easy alteration to add more fabric and thicken the strap, and it would look really great.  I think the third dress isn't nearly as flattering to your figure as the first two.

    #2 is the only one that gives you curves.  The belt gives you a defined waist, and that's the only dress you listed that has that.

    I really adore no. 1 on you! I can see what everyone is saying about your figure in the second dress but I feel like it does't have the pizazz that the others have. I would suggest getting it in white though, because I think the ivory does seem to age you a bit.

    I like the first one and the third one, but I'm a sucker for lace everytime. I think .... third one takes it. The bottom half of the Maggie (where it fluffs/starts the lace again) looks a little ... odd

    I love, love, love #3 (I also tried that one on!) but I think #2 is definitely the most flattering on you - you look great!

    I love the first dress the best and the third dress would be my second choice. The ssecond dress is lovely, but I have seen dresses like it so much over the past two years that it seems too oridinary.

    I like #1 and #2 the best but I voted for #1. 

    #1 is more unique and romantic.

    #2 is more modern and glamorous. 

    Which look are you going for?  That should be your deciding factor!  :)

    All 3 look wonderful on you. I can see why you are torn. I love the 1st dress. I've seen it on others and the detail is so beautiful. However, I think you look best in dress # 2 - the Allure. I notice how beautiful you look in the dress.  #1 almost seems to be wearing you.
