    I like the third one with no lace, just beautifully draped fabric. It would be stunning! (Although they're all very nice dresses!)

    Ok so i like the lace, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the third one. A friend of mine got one like that. She says it feels like melted butter and is so luxurious to wear. I just love the silouette on that.

    Go take some pictures of YOU in the dresses, then come back and ask us for our opinions again. I know that third one would look so silly on ME but i just love that look with the ruching and the mermaid...*sigh* gorgeous. 

    My MOH's sister had one like that. She could BARELY sit in it. SUPER TIGHT all night b/c it was so extreme. Make sure it works for the wedding you're having!

    i'm a lace girl, and I actually like the straps. Does the dress have enough structure to take them off? if not i vote 3 if you must have strapless

    I love the first dress.  It is so elegant and graceful looking.  I love the lace.  It is gorgeous.

    Ok, I'm going to be different and go for #2 - I'm a simple girl and I like the contrast of the band and the details on it.  However, if you feel yourself more comfortable with #3 then I say that one - just because it seems so elegant.

    I love the third one!  I like the structure that the rouching provides, but I think the lines flowing enough that it doesn't look like a big ole mess.  (Or, as my fiance would say, "it looks like that dress needs to be ironed!")  It's a little different and it's absolutely stunning.

    I also like the first one with the straps, but if you're taking those off, it just doesn't seem to have the oomph anymore.

    I would leave the straps on #1 and do that one. It's so pretty and I'm totally not a lace girl!

    Hi everyone!

    Okay! I think i made my decision!!! Although the lace dress was not the most popular on the poll, i think i'm gonna go with the lace and KEEP the straps!!!

    I originally wanted a dress that was trumpet/sheath, with straps, no rusching, simple, and with a train.

    the first dress meets all that requirement, although the simple part might be debateable...would want a v-neck with a v-backing but will have to do without...

    the third dress, although most popular, has ALL rusching...and i originally didn't want that...so gonna have not get that one.

    thanks for all the input and will post a picture once i go get it!!!

    hi everyone! thanks for all the comments! i've been so wishy-washy but i think i found a dress that combined ALL three dresses! the shape, the texture, and the look! i think that's why all three dresses were so dif't because i liked one or two elements from each dress! now i've really found the one!trying to decide between three dresses! please help me decide! :  wedding F157 Primary

     it's simple, trumpet,  little beading, slimming, and within budget!!! with a chapel train! classic!

    have you tried any of these on?  I don't think you should base your decision on what anyone thinks of the dresses on a model, they could all be totally different on you.

    yes, i've tried on ALL these dresses...which contributes to the problem because after awhile, i couldn't decide on any because they were all so beautiful! but went to try this dress on today and it's EVERYTHING i wanted (well minus the beading on the front, but hey, i'm on a budget!) :) 

    i actually really don't like the way the dress looks on the model! will take a pic and post soon!

    I would think for a church wedding and evening reception that the first or second dresses would be best.  I personally like the last dress in the color that it is currently.  It's simplicity makes a statement, and I love the color (I'm not much of a white dress fan).

    Definetly the first one..very classy. All the others are dresses that are pretty but that I have seen before. The first one has more movement and enchantment...

    I love the 3rd dress, but I am biased because that's the dress I am wearing! It hasn't come in yet but I'm excited to see it again. From what I remember, the rusching is not as extreme as it looks in the photo... would you agree sjpaek?

    They are ALL beautiful dresses and the one you chose is a nice fusion of the best parts of each.  You have great taste!
