    2

     

    To be honest, with the satin fabric on the other two, they look a little dated.  She looks fab in the second one

    But, I also have to say, the blue color in the last pic looks really really good with her skin color.

    Sorry, I didn't vote because I am torn between 2 and 3 :)  Number 2's style really suits her and doesn't age her at all.  But I love the color of number 3 :)

    I'm torn, because I like the style of the second one, but I like the color of the third one... Which would go better with the dresses of the other special women?

    Wait, are the pictures of you or the dress model? I assumed model, but hey, if they are you, rock on -- that's a compliment!

    I actually think that the 2nd will look the most dated because that sort of scallop look has only been really popular for a short time. I voted for 1 because I think it is a very classy, simple design, and I like that color better than the dark blue for a June wedding.

    That's actually me- the groom's mom.  It depends on whether my FDIL wants us to coordinate (or not) with the BMs.  They are wearing deep navy.  I took these without makeup or jewelry, so thanks for all the positive comments.

    I like number 2 because I think it flatters your body the best :)

    And honestly, I wouldn't worry about looking "dated" because I think they all look fabulous on you!

    I too am torn between 2 and 3 - agree that 2 does not age you and looks GREAT on your body and 3 is just such a beautiful color on you!

    They all do look fabulous on you but I really like the deep blue color on you! I think the periwinkle kinda washes you out (but it may be the lighting) and the 2nd one just doesn't do as much for you as the 3rd one does. But any of the three would be good!

    She looks amazing in the 2nd one...the other two make her look older. Which one does she like and is she comfortable in?

    PS I also agree though that the color of number three looks really great on her...so I would say either 2 or 3.

    I feel pretty sassy in the brown- but I wonder if it's just a tad too sassy for the wedding.  These dresses were real bargains- one was about $60 and the other two were less than that.  So, I'm actually very pleased- they compare well to what I've tried on at over $200.

    All of these dresses will get a final nip in May, as I am losing about a pound each week.  My hair will be out to a short bob and I am planning to look okay in those pictures.  BTW, the groom is the young man in the pic of the brown dress- to the right.  That is a high school pic... love him dearly.

    As many others seem to have  said, I like the 2nd dress the best, but the 3rd color (that being said all three look beautiful and any groom would be proud of his mom!)

    I love the second one, it's a fabulous dress and super flattering on you!

    If the bride wants you to coordinate with the bridesmaids, then I would choose the third one.

    But I think the second one is really nice and it's a fun dress. The first dress is very matronly.

    I really like #2...#3 would be my second choice. Not a big fan of #1 as the color isn't as flattering on you as the other 2!

    I really like the cut, etc. of the second one - I don't think it's too sassy for you at all!

    I picked #3 because on my screen it looked black, but if it's brown, then go for #2!  That is an amazingly flattering dress on you!  If you wanted to coordinate a little more, than I pick #3.  That blue is gorgeous with your hair and skin tone.  #1 washed you out too much.

    so i think the style of #1 looks best, but it needs to be in a darker color...she's all washed out in peri.

    the brown COLOR looks best, but i also like the third dress style.

     

    and ps - how cute is she posing? lol and the shoes! so cute.

    Number 3 is gorgeous!!  I love it!  I think #2 is pretty, but my experience with those kinds of pleated dresses is that if you sit wrong or don't get it to lay exactly right, they stick up strangely.

     

    I love the little jeweled empire waste of #3.  What does it look like with the jacket off?

    Those shoes in the pictures are 80's vintage bugle beaded pumps.  At this point they need some TLC but I haven't had the heart to get rid of them because I never see anything like that now in the stores.

    You ladies are so sweet, and thank you for the feedback and compliments.  I will take more pics of the dresses with the jackets off when I get back from California.  Probably will shop out there too... any suggestions?

    i am definitely torn between 2 and 3... i love the different style of the number 2, but number 3 is classic, and a beautiful color!

    so i'm a little behind, but i LOVE number two.

    i agree that number 3 is a beautiful colour (it's the colour i want for my bm dresses too :P), but number two just flatters you so much! plus i can see it being a dress you can rewear (if you wanted to) in the future.

    I like the brown the best, and the deep blue would be my second pick.  I'm not a fan of the periwinkle dress.
