    So Here are some picture of dresses that I tried. The last picture (5th dress) is the one I really liked. You can't really tell by looking at my face, but i liked it. I'm still thinking about trying on more dresses. But I like this one.

    The other bride there (that you see in the back ground trying on dresses) was really nice and helpful about trying on dresses. She was buying a dress for her 2nd wedding. But she was still nice.

     

    And the poofy dresses that I tried on, I didn't like, but another girl came in behind me, who was a tad bigger, and they looked BEAUTIFUL on her!

    YAY!!! Oh my goodness!! I *LOVE* this stuff!!! Dress fittings are so much fun!! {{Squeeel!! Claps hands!!}} My Dress try out.... :  wedding Icon Razz

     Ok... so in all honesty-

    #1 (019) is VERY, VERY, VERY becoming on you!! Super slimming waistline, not "over done", and your chest looks very perky! {{Va-voom}} My Dress try out.... :  wedding Icon Wink

    #2 (011) draws too much attention to your arms/shoulders, and covers up your great assets (those curves I mentioned in #1! haha).

    #3 (005) definitely looks like a "princess dress", but (it's hard to tell from that angle), doesn't really do anything "for you"... if you know what I mean. No shape!

    #4 (003) OMG, you look *FABULOUS*, Darling! My Dress try out.... :  wedding Icon Wink "Good curves", very becoming, "princess-y" yet still "classic"... And the sweetheart neckline, and dropped "V" waistline are extremely complimentary to your body style!!

     If I had to pick a *Favorite* (although, they're all lovely), I would say #4! It's stunning on you, girl!!! Either way, let us know what you go with!!! YAY!!! Congrats!!!!

    ....Ok... so I just went back and forth like 6 times... and yeah, the 5th dress is very becoming, and I think it's my new fav on you! HAHA! My Dress try out.... :  wedding Icon Biggrin

    I love the fifth dress!!!! I think you are absolutely right - you look great in it :)

    I also think you should go try on some more dresses like you suggested - that way when you decide to purchase your dress you will feel much more comfortable knowing that you tried out several dresses and this was THE ONE!!

    Congratulations and happy planning!

    You should do a poll for this question...I like the fifth one the best tooo...A broach on one of the corners of your neckline would look amazing too...Just an idea!

    5th is my favorite too.  I say go with your gut feeling and if you like #5 the best, then it's just all the more confirmation that so many of us like it too!

    I have to say both the 4th and 5th are my favorite. Make sure the dress you pick is the one you truly want. Don't pick a dress for the sake of picking a dress.

    Good luck!

    I like 1 and 5! I think we have similar body types, I also tried on 3 (it looksl like your are at David's but if not I tried one similar) and felt like it made me so wide I couldn't walk back into the fitting room nevermind down the isle!

    I like the 5th one, It just made me feel a lot slimmer than the other dresses did. I'm going to try on more dresses just to see if there might be one out there that would make me go "This is it!!"

    I'm not the type of girl that gets excited about nothing. You should have seen me when FI took me to pick out my engagment & wedding rings. lol. I'm sure the salesman had never seen a girl like me. So cool and calm. Not the tinest bit excited. lol But inside I was jumping up and down.

     

    And slicy19, I was at Davids Bridal. Some of you girls mentioned that the 2nd dress made me look slimming. It did...BUT, but, the sales lady and my mom had to force the zipper closed. Yah...I had a HARD time breathing.

    Thanks for the compliments! :D I'm going to make another appoinment to try on more dresses, including #5 again. I might just go ahead and make the appointment the same time that I make the appointment for the girls to try on dresses. (I'm thinking about the seperates for them; latte/champange)

    No, I haven't fully decided yet. I'm going to go back to David's Bridal next month to hopefully purchase one. I think a new line of dress comes out next month too.

    I did find another dress in their book that I liked. I'm going to try it on to see how it looks. And I'm going to try the #5 dress back on too.

    I'm very partial to dress #3 because I LOVE princess dresses.  But I like #5 because it's very classy and I think it fits you best. I think you should definitely go back and try on the dress and take additional pics.

    Oh I plan too. I'm actually kinda excited. I'm going to take my bridesmaids with me so they can get their dresses too. That's 4 bridesmaids, me, my mother, and his aunt (my "FMIL"). Do you think it would be too crowded? lol

    Have you tried other wedding boutiques or is David's Bridal your bridal store of choice?  The only reason I ask is because a co-worker of mine got her dress at David's bridal and had a horrible experience.  Even though she got a great deal on her dress, her alterations altogether cost her almost more than the dress before.

    For David's Bridal I dont think thats too many people to bring. I brought my MOH and my two bridesmaids to my dress search and it was a small bridal shop but it worked out fine.

    I definitely like #5 best, too, though the others are nice, I don't think they compare with that one.
