    Bees, I am totally stressing out about my dress. At first I was stressed because I thought everything was ugly. Now I just don't know what to pick (but at least I finally have options!). Any help at all is appreciated.

     

    Here are the silhouettes of my top 4 dresses.

    In terms of shape, what do you think gives me the best silhouette?

     

    Thanks, bees, for all your help!  

    Edit: tried to fix the picture... now both are loaded, how do i delete the first one and get the second one to show up in the thread without clicking on it?

    Looking at just shape I voted for the Anne Barge.  A more detailed photo might help. :)

    I'm going to be the odd one and pick the first dress. It is hard to tell (I know you can't help it). I've never heard of the designer though.

    Edit: saw the new pic, much better! And I'm still voting number one!

    i like the first one (trumpet) the most. i think it really flatters your body.

    I'd choose #3. It's a very flattering dress on you. I like the silouette because it's form fitting before it gently draws away from the body -- much like #2. Apart from liking the silouette, I like the white and the bit of lace, which makes it photograph really well

     They'd all work nicely though, so go with whichever one feels better to you!

    I loove number 3 on you! It's gorgeous!! Number 1 is also pretty nice, the other 2 I don't care for at all. It was kind of hard to tell from those pictures though.  Do you have bigger/clearer pictures you can post?

    1 and 4 are the best.

    I don't like the way 2 fits on you. It could be that it needs better alterations to fit though.

    The first and the third look beautiful on you.  I think you couldn't go wrong with either.

    I voted for 1 and 3 would be my second choice.  I think 1 is the most flattering to your figure.  It looks AMAZING!

    I'm really confused which dress is which, but I vote for the true trumpet-style dress in the lower left-hand corner of the image you posted.  Runner up would be the one in the bottom row, second from the right.

    @EsqBride5810:The top row is the 4 dresses from the back, the bottom row is the same 4 dresses from the front, so each "column" of photos is the same dress (only 4 dresses). Or is that not what was confusing.

     

    @sulaii211: The time of year is summer, the venue is likely a ballroom, but until my man comes home from war, we're not choosing (i want him to be able to actually see the places). He will be wearing his dress blues, so even if the event isn't formal, we both will be formal.

     

    Everyone, thanks for all the comments and votes, this is very helpful!

    I liked #3 in the distorted pic, and now that I can see I love it even more! #4 would be my second choice. Not crazy about the other two, but that's just my personal preference.

    Absolutely 100% number 1. It fits you the best. It compliments your shape well and i think that one really shows off your frame the best. 

    I'm def. a fan of number 1. I think your new hubby to be will be like wow for number 1 =)

    I'm sure w/e you pick it will be great
