    Hello!

    I need some help--I've gone dress shopping a few times and am going again this weekend! I haven't found "the one" yet. I'm hoping you ladies can help me with a few things.

    First, which dress do you like best on me? Why?

    Second, do you have any other suggestions for other dresses?

    p.s. Please ignore the stuff in my hair, I don't know what I want to do with that yet, the sales lady just kept handing me stuff!

    I appreciate your help. I really want to find a dress soon! =)

    I think dress 1 and 2 look great on you.  What kind of wedding are you having?  Location/theme?

    I voted for dress #2. it makes your waist look so tiny. The the style of it is so romantic, I love it.

    We're having a church wedding with our reception at a golf club. We're trying to go for a very festive feel. Nothing too formal. I definitely want something that I will be able to dance around in all night!

    I liked #2, with #1 being the second choice. Which one do you like?

    I voted dress #2.  Dress #1 is too bulky for me and isn't really flattering.

    Are the first two pictures (short dress) the same dress?

    First, I LOVE the short dress on you, it is too cute! But if you want a long dress, I think that 4th dress is really lovely, the shape & sweetheart neckline really flatters your figure & gives you a great hourglass shape!

    I also like 2 and 3 the best. Can't decide between those two. Do you prefer straps or strapless? Or do you have a preference?

    @honeybun--I've been thinking straps just because I don't want to keep tugging at the dress all night but I realized that I really like the sweatheart neckline too. So I guess I'd prefer straps but I'm not 100% against strapless!

    3 - maybe not that exact dress, though.  But that deep V was lovely!

    I like the idea of #4 but I think the bottom is a funny length and is a bit too flared.  My favorite is #2, it flatters you really well.  #3 - It looks good but for some reason didn't really scream wedding dress to me.

    I like that #1 isn't strapless

    I like that #2 flatters your waist

    I like the v-neck on #3

    I like the flirtiness of #4

     

    Maybe you just look good in all sorts of wedding dresses!

    I LOVE the V-Neck dress (3rd Picture). That's my Favorite. My Second Favorite is probably the strapless sweetheart. However I may be biased because I tried that one on & Loved it too :) I VOTE V NECK!!

    Love that v-neck dress on you (I think it's dress #3?).  It think it's the most flattering on you and makes you look super slendar.

    I liked 2 or 3 the best.  A slight edge to 3 because it was not strapless.

    I voted for 3, it's the most flattering IMO - although they all look good :) I also think you look great in the tea-length dress.

    They're all cute, but I think I like #3 best on you.  I like the neckline on you.

    #1 accentuates your chest too much, but this you may like, who knows... lol.

    #2 Is my fave, but thats probably b/c its strapless

    #3 looks great too!

    #4 the length does nothing for you

    I like #1 and #2. They both look great on you. #2 is super sexy (you have a great body for this sillhouette!), but #1 is really nice too... although mandalee might be right; it may emphasize your chest too much.

    I say go with #2. It's fantastic on you.

    I think that #1 and #2 are the same unless I'm seeing wrong.  They're cute but I'm not really sure if they're really appropriate for a church wedding.  I think they would be better suited for the rehearsal dinner.  I'm not sure if I really like the V shape in #3 and I'm not fond of the last dress, which seems a bit too informal.  #4 I think is the best.  Can you try on dresses that are more A-lined?  They are supposed to flatter every figure and I hear that dresses with rouching are also great for most figures as well.
