    I tried on three dresses and I've got my opinions but I want to get yours too. The first dress is by Modern Trousseau and the second is by Venus. I can't remember who the third is by. Please help by sharing your opinions!

    Dress 1

    Dress 2

    Dress 3

    Please keep in mind that the first dress was a bit big in the boobs and tight in the hips and the third I couldn't get zipped in the back. I would have to get them fitted for me obviously.

    I see the pictures! I think of this batch I like the first picture (labeled dress #3) the best.  I would sweetheart the neckline though.  How many dresses have you tried on total?  If this is the beginning of your search, I'd cast a wide net.  Trying on wedding dresses is SO much fun!

    I like the 3rd one the best since it gives you a lovely hourglass figure that is hidden in a dress the style of the first one. The second one is also a good choice.

    I voted for dress 3 because I think in your picture you look the most happy/comfortable.  Also, that dress makes you have a GREAT hourglass figure.  Go for dress 3 I say!!!

    I think I like 1 and 2 best (I voted for 1). 1 is unusual and romantic and looks like it will be amazing on when you get it in the right size or with the proper alterations, and 2 is a little plain but very flattering. I don't like 3, but that may just be because of the fit. I really don't like how low on the hip that flower sits.

    Dress 3 is GORGEOUS on you!  The first one hides your shape, I think its too busy.  The second is nice but you really pop in the mermaid gown.  who are the designers?

    That's tough. I like dress 1 as a dress the best. But I voted for dress 3 because it is more flattering. I think the only issue with the first one is the sweetheart neckline is hitting you a little high on the chest, so that is an easy fix.

    Are you leaning towards one in particular?

    Brasty2010: I think I agree with you that Dress 1 may be too busy, however that's sort of what appealing about it.

    sjbee: I think I'm leaning towards dress 2. It's very flattering and simple which I like. I think I had a hard time with dress 3 because I couldn't even get the dress zipped so it was kind of hard for me to picture myself wearing it.

    @miscake I think that if your gut tells you number 2, then that's the right one! It is a really beautiful dress. I usually go for more frilly wedding dresses (since I never do in real life). But it you want simple and classic then 2 is perfect. Have you given any thought to the kinds of accessories you want? A veil, jewelry, hair flowers? I think that might make a difference a well. Dress 1 would probably overwhelming if you wanted a long veil. What I liked about dress three was it shows your nice hour glass figure. Dress 2 makes you look taller though, if that makes a difference.

    Right now I'm thinking a small birdcage veil for the ceremony, hair flower for the reception and simple silver jewelry. Ohh and colored shoes!

    I think 2 is the best, though you are lovely in all three.  I might be biased because it's similar to my dress (straight across top, strapless, rouching, side overlay/draping) but I just love how you look carefree and happy in it =)

    If you're leaning towards 2, then I change my vote from 1. ;) I was pretty torn between them, anyway! Sometimes simple is best. ;)

    I wanted to vote 1 and 3 also! I love 1 the best though-- much more interesting than the typical dresses you see these days. I love how unique it is.

    Ooo, I like #2.  Dress #1 is unique but a little too busy for me.  As you said, there's something about the simplicity of dress #2 that is easy on the eyes...

    dress 3! dress 1 overwhelms you. dress 2 is gorgeous too but i think i've seen similar styles a lot. dress 3 is gorgeous, hugs you and i like the subtle gathers / pleats.

    Dresses 2 and 3 look great! They both make your waist look super tiny. But I think I prefer Dress 2.

    Of all the dresses, I definitely like #3 the most on you.  I think it really flatters your figure and gives you curves.  I would definitely go with #3 for your wedding.  Let us know what you end up deciding!

    I really like dress 3 on your - it's so, so flattering, especially in comparison to the pictures of dress 1 and 2. They're lovely dresses, but seem to be wearing you more than you're wearing them. And you look so happy in no. 3 too!!

    Dress 3 shows off your figures; Dress 2 is also very flattering (and the most safe choice); but I love the dress 1's uniqueness!  

    I vote Dress 3 for you.  BTW, who's dress/style is Dress 1?  Do you mind sharing?

    I voted number one because it is so unique and beautiful, number two is a close second - I feel like I have seen a lot of brides in a similar dress though.....def. not number 3 I think the first two are way more flattering
