    People kept telling me that once I wear "The DRESS" - I would have a moment with it, I would feel this rush of emotional high with palpitations and fast breathing.  But a few bridal shops later, I think I am never going to ever feel THAT emotional about a piece o clothing.  Don't get me wrong - I definitely find something that I will look gorgeous in.  However, I have tried on many dresses that are pretty, but I really do not know which pretty dress to pick!

    Here are the final few candidates.  Please help me out: first first two pics are from dress 1, pics 3 and 4 are from dress 2, and the final pic from dress 3

    They all look great, but #3 is my fave on you. I like that cut on you the best. Good luck with your choosing :)

    I really love the first one on you!!! My second choice would be number 3! I don't think that you have to get all emotional about your dress. It's something that is exciting (buying a wedding dress), but I definitely didn't cry or anything when I tried on dresses. Good luck!

    Definitely #3 its great!!

    I didn't think I would get some "feeling" about a dress either, because I just don't really care about clothes and shoes and all that very much. But the third dress I tried on was just... special. It fit my body and my personality perfectly, and even though I tried on about 30 dresses after that, I found that all I was doing was comparing them to that third one I had tried.

    Maybe you should give it a few more tries? In any case, that third one looks gorgeous in my opinion! Good luck!

    I didn't think I would get "the feeling" either and even said so at the salon! But I did finally KNOW. I think you should try some more on if you can!

    My fave of these three is definitely 1, though. It's gorgeous!

    DEFINITELY #3. But I think #1 still looks GoRGEOUS on you and if that's more "you" then go for that one. #3 is my fave on you though. Great idea to post and ask!

    I like #3 too!

    I never had that "feeling" either, my dress is simply the one that I loved the best. I couldn't stop smiling when I put it on, but there were no heavenly angels singing in the background. Go with what makes you feel the most beautiful!

    I like #3 the best, followed closely by #1. #3 is sort of in the vein of what I'm looking for actually - what designer is that?

    #2 or #3. I prefer #3 on you. It enhances your body style. Very nice. Good luck!

    Without a doubt, #3. I think #2 cuts off the line of your body too much, too much fabric...and #1 is actually also very pretty as a second choice for me! I just love the lace of #3, and the back is very pretty...it looks very flattering on you!

    I didn't have a "moment" with my dress either...don't worry about it! My grandma and mom definitely did have the moment with it, but I wasn't getting teary at all...my mind is really really practical and I was busy analyzing numbers and details, etc etc, and I probably forgot to be in the moment...but I know I picked the right dress!

    I like #2.  Have you also considered a dress where it's not a sweetheart cut and is a strapless that goes straight across.  For me, I found that the sweetheart cut didn't really go with me because according to the bridal consultant I went to, it's made for people that are bigger on top.

    I like the first dress because of the detailing and it shows off your figure beautifully!

    I like #1 and #3.  Very pretty.  I didn't get the feeling either when I tried on my dress for the first time.  I think it is an experience that is different for everyone.

    I really like dress #1 and dress #3.  So far I haven't liked strapless when trying them on, but the design on the dress makes you look great!  I really like the back of dress #3 too........Final vote.....dress #1.  Good luck!

    I love #1 on you (and #3 if you're having a garden wedding).

    But I hear you on the whole "the one" thing. I don't buy it. I hate clothes shopping, and dress shopping will be no different. Plus, I'll only be trying on dresses to confirm what size I need and what looks best on me, since I'll most likely be making mine myself/with my MOH (or having it made by a Chinese company).

    I love #3 on you!  Beautiful!

    FWIW, I never got "The Feeling" but I still found a dress that I loved.
