    I went to a bridal boutique that was going out of business, and tried on like twelve different dresses. I narrowed it down to three fun but very different options, and then picked The One. It was a thousand-dollar dress that I got for hundreds less. But please tell me if you think I picked the right one! I'm pretty sure I did, but I was all by myself and really would love some reassurance and/or honesty!

    I know what I think is most important, but I still want YOUR opinons!

    Thank you so much!

    Good pick.

    I thought the 1st picture was the best on you even before I read your poll choices, so that didn't even influence me.

    They are all very beautiful! At first glance, I liked #2 slightly better than the #1. At second look, I think that #2 is more my personal style preference, and #1 is the most flattering for your figure. I think you definitely made the right choice Congrats on getting your dress! :D

    Yes, you absolutely chose the right one!  It looks amazing on you.  I actually don't like the second one at all and don't think it's anywhere near as flattering as the others.  And the first one definitely looks more 'fun' than the third.

    The first one is by far the best!! It is so beautiful and romantic looking and flatters your body very well. GOod choice!

    You made the right choice. The others don't even begin to compare.

    You made the absolute right choice. I love the first one, if not that one, the third one. The first one is ahead by loads. BTW, how do you ladies know when boutiques are going out of business?

    I think the first one looks very lovely on you.  I liked #2 also, but number one definitely looks more fun!  :)  BTW- 3 was also very pretty, but it doesn't do anything for your lovely figure!

    Thank you all so much for this reassurance! I can't even tell you how much it helps to hear you say that, now that the deed is done (I did end up buying the top one). It was an impulse buy (to the degree any major purchase like that can be), so THANK YOU a million times!

    @ bRooklyn Rocks: I just happened to see a sign in the window of the store! And sometimes they will post it on their website -- I had been lurking on the websites of the bridal boutiques nearest me. Good luck with your dress hunt, I'm excited to see what you pick!

    I picked yes on your poll... but I wasn't sure if that was the dress in the first picture. I def like the dress in the first picture best by far!

    You did great!  In my opnion the ball gown is too much dress and the bottom lace one is missing a little somehting. The one you chose is a perfect combo of the two! Great choice.

    Yep - the one you picked is the same one I would have picked for you. I'm not a fan of the "pickup" - it is too trendy, and the last (lacy) one doesn't really do anything for you. Congrats on getting a great deal! If you ask me, that's just more money you can put toward something else that would have gone to a one-time wearing! Woo Hoo! Now go get some shoes! Wink
