Do you have a pic of #1 from the front? Given these pictures, I voted for #1 since I favor that style dres a little more, but I think #1 and #3 look great one you. The top of #2 looks like its a little small for your chest. #4 and #5 look nice on you too, but I think #1/#3 is just a bit more flattering on you.
@pinkshoes: Sadly no picture of #1 from the front :( I wish I did, that would really help me. I tried it on in my home state, so I can't just go back to the place and take another picture. I've tried it on again where I live, but that salon wouldn't allow pictures.
I really like #3 and #4. I like the shape of #3 on you and I think that with the proper fit, the bust would look and fit better. As for #4...I'm a total sucker for lace and I love Casablanca. I also like the way it fits your body.
@pinkshoes:I agree. I feel like the angle of the picture in dress 1 holds me back from saying I like it best...
I know I like either #1 or #3 best, I think they really suit your body perfectly! But I think I like the detail at the top of #1 better, but it's hard to tell.... Do you have a picture of that dress straight on?
Honestly, when I keep looking back I think I like #3 the best!
Dress #1 is more my personal style however I think dress #4 looks AMAZING on you!, it's definetely my favorite. Just go with what YOU feel is most you and you can't go wrong
I completely understand how you feel. I'm trying to choose a dress too, and every time I think I've found "the one", I keep thinking about others ones I liked or thinking that there might be something better out there. So I get it :)
I think that 1 and 4 look the best on you and flatter you the most. Funny though, they're completely different :P That said, all these dress look great on you and no matter what you choose you're going to look wonderful :)
ETA: If you didn't feel as excited about wearing one as much as the others, eliminate it. I found a dress I liked but for some reason it just wasn't working. The consultant asked me what I didn't like, and I couldn't find much to say. But I realized I just wasn't feeling it so I eliminated it.
3 and 4 are definitely the best.
3 is very elegant and simple. It looks very chic on you and I think when it's fitted in the bust it will be awesome.
4 is very pretty and romantic and formal. It fits your body type very well.
I think I would decide based on your wedding. Is your wedding more simple and classic and sleek and elegant or is it more pretty and romantic and girly and formal?
#4 looks amazing on you! It looks like it was made for you. You are so stunning in it!
I like #2 and #4 best. I would have gone with #4 because I love that particular dress, but since you don't feel like the lace is "you," I voted for #2.
Oh, and I would eliminate #5 based on your comments. Plus, I really don't like the shape of the neckline and I think it looks sort of dated.
My wedding will be an afternoon wedding on the top deck (outside) of a large dinner cruise ship in a major city with the skyline as the backdrop. The reception will be right afterwards in the dining room below. We expect about 120 guests.
Don't know if that helps anyone or changes anyone's mind about the dress they voted for.
I love #3 and 4 on you, but I might be slightly towards #4. The lace is so beautiful!!
I think number 4 fits you soo well..really shows off your figure and really beautiful!
1 & 3 are my favorites, they are very romantic dresses and look like they fit you great. #2 is beautiful too but looks too small in the chest.. and the others look like very formal dresses, so it depends on what look you're going for.
I tried on literally around 70 dresses before I found the one, so try not to feel overwhelmed, you'll find it! and when you do, you'll definitely know. When I found my dress I could feel my heart beating and I just started glowing lol Good Luck!
@flutterbi: Dress #4 is perfection on you! It's soft and elegant and makes your waist look tiny! ...plus it makes your girls look awesome, but not to the point of vulgarity, it's classy AND sexy! 
I think 3 is the most flattering. The way the bust works really makes your waist look small. I did also like 1 and 4 as well, but 3 was my favorite. I think it looks awesome!
1 and 4 are my favorites. I wish I could see 1 from the front, but the fact that you feel that inner voice wanting to defend it is a very good sign for you. Thats what I did with the dress I ended up with. I knew deep down that that was the one I loved the most, it just took a while for me to realize it.
That being said, I think your body looks KILLER in dress number 4. Its very flattering on you, but if you're unsure about the lace, I would go with number 1. Just remember, just beauce you didn't originally envision yourself in lace, doesn't mean that you don't love it now. I ended up with a lace-like dress and had never considered lace until right before going shopping. Originally I had envisioned myself in much cleaner, more modern lines.
Give yourself some time, and then go back and JUST try on your top dresses. As you start to narrow it down, it really helps to see just your top picks without all the other dresses in between. It helps clear the mind. Then don't feel like you have to decide right away.
I called my mom and used her as a sounding board, saying what things I liked most and what I felt usure about. She didn't say a word about her opinion one way or another, but hearing myself talk outloud,I had already made the decision, I just didn't know it. It helps to say these things outloud to someone.
@flutterbi: Ooops!! I was reading them wrong! I meant to vote for #3!!
Love #3 on you. It's simple but still stunning.
And unless you fit in a sample perfectly you have to envision how a dress will truley fit you in all areas.
THREEEEEE!!!!
I like #4 on the dress, although I think you should try on different shapes. What do you think of mermaid, trumpet or fit and flare dresses?
I voted for dress 4 because it's very pretty and very flattering on you and is slimming. Dress 3 is another great pick, but makes you look a little fuller, particularly in the bust area- but it still looks fabulous. You can't go wrong with either, in my opinion.
I really love dress 4 on you! The lace is so classic and beautiful.
I like dress 1 and 4 on you. I voted for 4 because I love the sparkle and lace all over like that. I wish I could see 1 straight on to get a better view.
Wow! All of these are lovely dresses....I can definitely see why it's so hard for you to chose! Personally, I love #3. I like the shape of the sweetheart and how it really defines your waist. I think my second choice would be #4 because the sparkle is fun!
I'm going against the grain here, but I think dress #5 looks stunning on you! The beadwork is beautiful and I love the train and neckline! I think the whole thing is beautiful and I think you look wonderful in it :o)
I love 3 and 4 on you. 4 gives you a killer waist, but if you're worried 4 isn't really your style, I would go with 3. They are all beautiful though so you can't make a bad choice!
#3 absolutely! I saw that and I had your "THAT'S THE DRESS!" moment.
It looks amazing on you!
#4 - WOW! Love it on you, it's so flattering and just so classic!
4 and 5 I think are too old for you. You said it and I agree, even if I don't know your age or style, I think if you personally like nº 1 or 3 the best, you have a much "fun" style than 4 and 5.
I say go with 3. It seems that the top is a little big on you (I can tell on the sides) and when properly fitted will make you look smaller. Also, you said 2 made you look quite small at the waist but I think 3 does even more, having that waistline!
GO WITH 3!!!
I think #2 and #4 look the best in terms of shape/style. They seem to fit you the best. I personally like the rouching on #2, but the rest of the dress is very plain.
Aside from the fact that it is lace, you seem to like eerything about #4....so i say go with that one!
The dress i picked is nothing that i thought i wanted, but i absolutely love it...you wont be happy if you look back on it and find something you dont like about the dress, you should love everything about it!
Hope that helps

Hi Bees,
I posted a dress poll last week and I still need more help. I tried on two today that I really like (different style from the others) and now I'm totally confused! I feel like no matter what dress I choose I will have regret that I didn't choose the others, if that makes sense. But I love them all, and could see wearing any of them on my wedding day. I sent pictures to my mom/MOH tonight of the last two dresses (from today). No one lives in the same state as me so I dress shop alone :( which is why I so appreciate the help from all you bees :)
So, here are my new top 5 favorites in no particular order. I also included the designer and style number (if I know it). Unlike the last poll, I added what I like about each dress and what the downside is. Sorry if it's a long post - feel free to skip to the pictures and not read the pros/cons.
Look forward to your votes and comments.
Dress #1 (Essance of Australia)
Likes: Love the beading at the top and how it goes down the back. Love that it's a corset back. Love the small details of beading throughout and on the train. Haven't seen it very much. Nice satin material but not to heavy.
Downside: My mom/aunt/family friends don't think this one looks the best on me. I think it's the angle of the picture. They think it is to sweetearted for my larger chest. It's also the most expensive on here (really not trying to spend to much on the dress)
Dress 2: Anjolique #1058
Like: Love the beading at the top. Love the way I look in this picture - it seem to me (feel free to correct me) that I look very small at the waste. Would add buttons all the way down the back.
Downside: Kind of plain on the skirt. Would need to wear a petticoat under it as it laid to flat (it is pictured with the petticoat). No beading on the train. Liked but didn't love the material
Dress 3 - Alferd Angelo 2119
Likes: Love the shape, very romantic and somewhat big while still being very elegant. That's the big thing I love about this dress is how elegant I think it looks. Pockets - fun, but totally not necessary. Would add buttons all the way down the back. Like the sparkly details. Got the most votes in my last poll
Downside: My mom thinks it makes my chest look to big, although I'm not sure if it's fitted to my bust or not, I would have to try it on again. No detailing on the train. Very little detailing/beading (but again, that is probably what makes it so elegant). A little heavy.
Dress #4 Casablanca 1827
Likes: Lace - who knew? Lace totally isn't me, but I loved the lace on this dress. Very classic and romantic. Has some sparkle and will sparkle nicely in my day time outdoor ceremony. Feels like it fits perfect (although I plan to loose some weight) and is lightweight. Love the beading at the neckline and that beading/lace carries through the entire dress. Would add buttons to the back. Love the lace overlay over the train. Very lightweight.
Downside: Never saw myself in lace as it's not usually me - not sure if this is really a downside, or just a fear. Not as big as I pictured a dress to be, might consider wearing a petticoat, but would have to see how that looks. Older style of dress.
Detail of the top
Dress 5 (last dress) Casablanca 2032
Likes: Beautiful satin, but not heavy. Darker beading (bridal consultant thought this was the way to go with my dark brown hair and eye color). From a new collection but the same price as 1827. Same flattering shape as 1827 (although this was a size to small). Slightly sweethearted interesting scalloped neckline. Beautiful train.
Downside: Same as 1827 - not as poofy as I thought I would wear. No buttons or corset would work on this one. Didn't feel as excited when I put it on as I did in the other ones - although I can't find very much to not like about it.
Detail of the top
Thanks for looking. I really appreciate all the help/advice/direction I can get.
