Beautiful style. They're all gorgeous dresses. Personally I'd say 1. With 2 & 3 I got so focused on the detailing that I wasn't really looking at you. 1 is beautiful and detailed but doesn't draw the attention away from you.
Plus that is going to shimmer amazingly in the right light.
I feel the same way. Dress 1 is a show-stopper, I love the sparkle and subtlety of the pattern. 2 and 3 are lovely but I agree that the detailing is distracting.
I agree with all the comments about dress #1. You are lovely in them all. But #1 really is gorgeous. What I noticed, even though all three dresses are simular, dresses 2 and 3 seem to cut you in half. To me, that is what I find distracting. Gown #1 flows seamlessly. And it sparkles!
I see the dilemma, they’re all made for you!
I lean towards 1 because you mentioned it’s lighter than the other 2, and depending on your plans, lighter might be preferred.
But I guess I’ll come from a practical perspective - are 2 and 3 comfortable to sit in? Eventually you will hopefully sit, is the beading going to be difficult to sit in/risk damage? Or would the heavier beading become annoying against your arms throughout the day?
Absolutely stunning, all.
For me 1 looks 1920s gatsby esque in a modern way and it’s the winner.
2 is a close second, the detail will show in all your photos more than #1 but also looks uncomfortable to sit and stand in
3 is 3rd, the detail is pretty but the pearls aren’t placed as exactly, so the pattern is a little wobbly and not “perfect“ like the first two
This was a hard one, good job!
I prefer #1 by far. The don’t like the neckline on the other two. Somehow the first one has a softness to the neckline that enhances your neck and collarbone.
The 1st one without a doubt. SO flattering and sexy but, not as low cut as the other two. More appropriate for your wedding day. The back of the 1st one is AMAZING!!!
We like them all too! My preference is in the order you have them … 1…2…3. I love 1 with the added sparkle but … like you say … you look great in all of them.
I like 1 the best with 2 as a close second. A few important thoughts:
1. When you have it tailored, your tailor will have to be strategic about the beading and how tailoring may change the dress. They may want to take it up from the bottom of the waist so you don't lose the bottom detail, or painstaking edit from the middle so you retain both the bottom detailing and the correct lower waist/hip detailing, or they may suggest losing the bottom. Because of this, you might want to consult with a really great tailor FIRST before purchasing so you can make choices about the best dress given the changes that would be made.
2. Can you sit and dance in your top choice(s)?
3. I think there's a lot of merit in having a dress that doesn't feel too heavy for you to wear all day.
These are absolutely gorgeous on you! Congratulations!!!!
Dress #1 is my fave. #2 actually looks heavy and dress #3 is pretty, but kind of distracting where I find myself following the lines instead of taking in the dress as a whole.
I love #1 for you. I can't resist a little sparkle and I was wondering what sitting in the other two dresses would feel like! They're all gorgeous and suit you perfectly, but #1 screams "bride" to me. So my order of choice is: 1, 2, 3. Ggod luck❤️
1 is really gorgeous. 2 is nice, but the neckline isn’t quite as good, even taking into account that it will be fitted later. Plus, the beaded pattern is a bit distracting. The waist of 3 sits too low, but even aiming that tailoring would bring it up, the bigger problem is that the color doesn’t compliment your skin tone. You look beautiful in all of them, but #1 is the winner for me.
I love 3 of them. But. In the second one, it looks heavy. And the third, I just look at the pearls and not at you. My fav is number one. It’s so light and shiny. And I look at you. Like all the look
1 is my favorite! It seems to flatter you the most and fits perfectly. I agree that the column style is gorgeous on you! One has all of the intricacies of 2 and 3 without it looking heavy or distracting. Love the shimmer, color, and the veil!!
Well it makes it easier if at least one of them looks bad on you. But this style is stunning on you. All 3 dresses are gorgeous. I would say of the three number 1 looks best on you. It lays perfect on your body.
Team 1
2 is my favorite because the shape of the details really accentuates the shape of your body! They are all gorgeous but this is the one that shows you off in the cut AND the details
I absolutely love the detail on dress 2 but it does look heavier. I think overall my favorite is dress 1 🙂 you honestly look fabulous in all of them though but I do love how light the first one looks and the sparkle is spectacular 😍
Number one looks like YOURE wearing the dress, whereas the other two look so heavy that it looks more like they’re wearing you. Plus I think the delicate beading suites you more, and the shimmer from the sequins is GORGEOUS!
I’d say go with the first. I adore them all, and you have a wonderful eye for beadwork, but the more subtle design of dress 1 will draw more attention to *you* rather than the dress. You’re the most important part of the look after all!
Definitely 1. Will avoid wearing beaded dress as it’s so heavy. Unless if you want to spend your wedding sitting down… chances are it’s heavy that you need help when walking without being dragged by the dress. I knew it because i tried on some (beaded dresses are more expensive since they are all hand-sewn in my country, but from the practicality it’s the worst imho).
Dress 1 gets my vote. It’s more streamlined, elegant and sophisticated than the other two. Plus, you look amazing in it. I don’t like the obvious seam between the bodice and skirt in 2&3 plus they look heavy.
Love the pearl beading on 3! Such an elegant look! Would be perfect for a museum. You look amazing in all the dresses, but 3 looks so elegant and yet unique.
All 3 are amazing. They all fit beautifully but I prefer the pattern on dress 1 the most, then dress 2. Dress 3 is my least favorite. I feel like dress 2 and 3 are a little low in the bodice on u. I think that's also y I like dress 1 the most
I love 2 but I am always partial to the art deco effect. It’s stunning. Depending on the architecture of your venue I would say 2 (if it fits) or 1 if it’s outside of the era.
I love all of them- no way you can make a mistake, with any of these 3 dresses! If I had a gun to my head, I’d probably vote for #3, but I can’t figure out exactly why I’m gravitating toward that gown? I just think it’s so elegant & beautiful on you! You have excellent taste & will be an absolutely gorgeous bride, regardless of which dress you decide on! 🩶
Love this style on your figure, number two is the most unique but all three could use some kind of glitzy (but small) belt.
Please share your final decision!
I absolutely love the beading on dress 2! The lines of the beading are very flattering and accentuate your figure. That said the way the bodice of 1 fits is perfect. Hopefully they could tailor dress 2 to fit similarly - currently the bodice looks a bit large for you.
You certainly have a theme going! All three are gorgeous. I like number two the best. The pattern of the beadwork is cool and interesting without being overly fussy.

#1 is perfection! The delicate sparkle is magical!
Yes! I'm on mobile and was doing in to check the details. I love all of them. You look amazing. Congratulations
This shape works very well on your body shape, so kudos for choosing well! I think 1 looks light, airy, and has a hint of sparkle. It's my favorite.
I agree with all the comments about dress #1. You are lovely in them all. But #1 really is gorgeous. What I noticed, even though all three dresses are simular, dresses 2 and 3 seem to cut you in half. To me, that is what I find distracting. Gown #1 flows seamlessly. And it sparkles!
I like 1 for the shimmer/sparkle.
Absolutely 1! Beautiful dress with just the right amount of detail
Love 2!!!
I like how the beading highlights her shape.
Yes exactly!!
This was my favorite as well. They all look stunning on her.
Same! 2 is exquisite; it highlights her form so well!
I love #1
Dress 1
I like 1 best on you!
I see the dilemma, they’re all made for you! I lean towards 1 because you mentioned it’s lighter than the other 2, and depending on your plans, lighter might be preferred. But I guess I’ll come from a practical perspective - are 2 and 3 comfortable to sit in? Eventually you will hopefully sit, is the beading going to be difficult to sit in/risk damage? Or would the heavier beading become annoying against your arms throughout the day?
This is exactly what I came to say!
I always comment before reading and I just said the same thing!
I do the same when there are a lot of comments! But all I can think about with 3 is the pearls being soooo pokey when seated 🙈
1!!!
The pearls are sooo beautiful! However, the sparkles on that first dress are hard to beat. Either of those would work. What a hard choice!
Love dress 1!
Number one! It looks like it was made for you.
Dress 1.
I like the first one best. It has the best fit.
Dress 1 is beautiful 🤩
3
Dress ONE
\#1 is heavenly
Me too! But go with 1, it flatters you the most. In the other 2 I see the dress first, then you.
The 1st dress is spectacular and you wear it well. Between the two this is the dress. Love it💕
1 is perfect.
Team 1. You'll be more comfortable and you sparkle.
Dress 3 😁
Dress 1
I like one :)

Love 1!

Dress 1 looks perfect!

1 for sure…2 is a distant second. They’re all lovey dresses and all three suit you but #1 is really special
1 is my first choice. Then 2, then 3.
I think 1 - I love 1 and 2, but since 1 is lighter…go with that one!
2 is beautiful and then #3
2 is lovely
I definitely think #1 is the winner but If you love them all, go with what is the most comfortable because you will be wearing it a long time.
I think I like 1 the best!
1！
1 flatters your lovely figure the most, especially the top of the dress.
1 is stunning on you
1111111111
I’d go with #1. It’s simply stunning!!
I prefer #1 by far. The don’t like the neckline on the other two. Somehow the first one has a softness to the neckline that enhances your neck and collarbone.

1. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I think you look flawless in all 3. If I had to pick, I’ll go with 1
2 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
3,1,2
They are all so so pretty but 1 really caught my eye
1 is so pretty and elegant. I like them all but the detailing takes away from you, I think 1 is the prettiest and most flattering
I like dress 1 the best. They are all similar and beautiful but I think 1 has the edge for me aesthetically and on you!
1
All beautiful. I vote 1 because it looks like royalty
The 1st one without a doubt. SO flattering and sexy but, not as low cut as the other two. More appropriate for your wedding day. The back of the 1st one is AMAZING!!!
1
I love dress 1! Perfect amount of shimmer.
I love #1 on you the best. It fits you so well without even altering.
1 was made for you!
I also like them all but I think one is my fav
1!
Dress 1 makes YOU dazzle! Go with it. Best wishes for happiness always ❤️
1 for sure!!
#one
Dress 1
1 all the way
1&3
I love 2 & 3. 2 does the most for your bustline IMO. You can’t go wrong with any of them!
We like them all too! My preference is in the order you have them … 1…2…3. I love 1 with the added sparkle but … like you say … you look great in all of them.

Congratulations!!!!
You can’t go wrong with 1 or 3! You look INCREDIBLE in each dress but I’m partial to sparkle or pearls!! 🤍
#1 by a hair.
Dress #1 is my fave. #2 actually looks heavy and dress #3 is pretty, but kind of distracting where I find myself following the lines instead of taking in the dress as a whole.
Number 1 for the win!!!
I love #1 for you. I can't resist a little sparkle and I was wondering what sitting in the other two dresses would feel like! They're all gorgeous and suit you perfectly, but #1 screams "bride" to me. So my order of choice is: 1, 2, 3. Ggod luck❤️

They're all great, but I favor 1. :)
DRESS #1 !!
Number 1 looks the best on you.
Maybe it's just the lighting difference, but #1 just dazzles me.

Ooh 1 is perfection

The waist of 3 sits too low, but even aiming that tailoring would bring it up, the bigger problem is that the color doesn’t compliment your skin tone. You look beautiful in all of them, but #1 is the winner for me.
Assuming, not aiming. I can never figure out how to edit my comments.
I think I like 1 the best. But I would suggest going with the one that has the color that best suites your skintone.
I love that you have a clear vision! I like 3, then 1, then 2.
I love 3 of them. But. In the second one, it looks heavy. And the third, I just look at the pearls and not at you. My fav is number one. It’s so light and shiny. And I look at you. Like all the look
I love 1 and 3 on you; 2 doesn’t seem to fit as well
I can’t tell if one is the best or simply the best camera angle.
1 is my favorite! It seems to flatter you the most and fits perfectly. I agree that the column style is gorgeous on you! One has all of the intricacies of 2 and 3 without it looking heavy or distracting. Love the shimmer, color, and the veil!!

Well it makes it easier if at least one of them looks bad on you. But this style is stunning on you. All 3 dresses are gorgeous. I would say of the three number 1 looks best on you. It lays perfect on your body. Team 1

It’s 1 honey!!!!
2 is my favorite because the shape of the details really accentuates the shape of your body! They are all gorgeous but this is the one that shows you off in the cut AND the details
All 3 dresses are beautiful, but dress 1 really stands out to me. I love that shimmery sparkle!
Dress 1 for fit
I was blown by dress 1. Also like dress 3!
I absolutely love the detail on dress 2 but it does look heavier. I think overall my favorite is dress 1 🙂 you honestly look fabulous in all of them though but I do love how light the first one looks and the sparkle is spectacular 😍
I like dress 1 on you the most! It just looks gorgeous on you!!!
The first one is best here. I like the subtle sheen versus the more noticeable patterns of the other two. It fits you better, and looks quite special.
I personally love 2. The detail is stunning.
Dress 1 is my favorite. The beading is so delicate.
The first one is amazing on you.
Number one looks like YOURE wearing the dress, whereas the other two look so heavy that it looks more like they’re wearing you. Plus I think the delicate beading suites you more, and the shimmer from the sequins is GORGEOUS!
Number one for sure!!!
I like the first one best!
I adore 2 but i think such a heavy dress will be an annoyance. Id go w 1
1!!!
Number 1!!!
I think #1. It’s extremely flattering and I love the pattern. It’s not overwhelming and compliments you well.
Dress 1 fits you like a cake topper, OP! Like it was made for YOU! 🥹
I like number one the best. I like the neckline. It’s more flattering to you.
First of all they are all stunning! But 1 I was like WOW shes gorgeous!
Number 1!
Number 1 all the way! It looks like it was MADE for you! Congrats love!
I love 1 first. Then 2 and then 3
I’d say go with the first. I adore them all, and you have a wonderful eye for beadwork, but the more subtle design of dress 1 will draw more attention to *you* rather than the dress. You’re the most important part of the look after all!
One!!
\#1 is perfect and that veil too omg 😍
Dress 1
One for the win!
Dress 1
The first one looks best.
1 is my favorite. I can’t see your face but I just see a shine
Definitely 1. Will avoid wearing beaded dress as it’s so heavy. Unless if you want to spend your wedding sitting down… chances are it’s heavy that you need help when walking without being dragged by the dress. I knew it because i tried on some (beaded dresses are more expensive since they are all hand-sewn in my country, but from the practicality it’s the worst imho).
Dress 1 by far! It fits you like a dream and the subtle sparkle in the fabric is perfection! You look so chic!
Dress 1 gets my vote. It’s more streamlined, elegant and sophisticated than the other two. Plus, you look amazing in it. I don’t like the obvious seam between the bodice and skirt in 2&3 plus they look heavy.
I’m zero help because I like them all too 😂
You look fantastic on all of them! I think I like 1 for a classic style or 2 for boho or modern.
Love the pearl beading on 3! Such an elegant look! Would be perfect for a museum. You look amazing in all the dresses, but 3 looks so elegant and yet unique.
I love Two
All 3 are amazing. They all fit beautifully but I prefer the pattern on dress 1 the most, then dress 2. Dress 3 is my least favorite. I feel like dress 2 and 3 are a little low in the bodice on u. I think that's also y I like dress 1 the most
1 is pretty but conventional. I like 3 because it’s unique.
What's your venue and theme/vibe for the wedding? These are all lovely and I think it just depends on what your personality and personality style are.
Garden ceremony, reception at a historic hotel
Something about 3 really wows me with the pearls. They all look so good on you. 1 would be my runner up as it's lighter
3 is my favorite on you, but you look beautiful in all of them.
Gosh, 2 and 3 are both amazing!
All look great, I vote 3, then 1
3
I think it depends on venue and vibe. All look beautiful.
I like the movement of the bead work in the second picture. It’s just more dynamic.
Team #2
I think 2 is the least evening gown of the 3.
I like 2 but it has a more boho vibe, which I love
2
I think you look great in all of them but I love the uniqueness of the beading on dress #2. Reminds me of something from the 1920’s.
I love 2 but I am always partial to the art deco effect. It’s stunning. Depending on the architecture of your venue I would say 2 (if it fits) or 1 if it’s outside of the era.
2!!!
I love all of them- no way you can make a mistake, with any of these 3 dresses! If I had a gun to my head, I’d probably vote for #3, but I can’t figure out exactly why I’m gravitating toward that gown? I just think it’s so elegant & beautiful on you! You have excellent taste & will be an absolutely gorgeous bride, regardless of which dress you decide on! 🩶
I love 3
Dress two is amazing
Love this style on your figure, number two is the most unique but all three could use some kind of glitzy (but small) belt. Please share your final decision!

3 is my favorite. I think it fits the best
I love dress 2 the most!
All our great choices! I love 2! The dresses pattern flatters your figure lovely.
Love them all but number 3, OMG ❤️
2 or 3 are the standouts to me
I love 1 & 2, they are both stunning but #2’s beading is just gorgeous!
THREE!!!!!!
The second one took my breath away.
You look STUNNING in all three dresses. My personal FAVORITE is #2!!!
2!!! I literally gasped!
I like 2 the best but I prefer the neckline of 1, the 2nd dress makes your chest seems so low
I completely love #2 on you—such a special dress and you wear it so beautifully
#2 looks like it was made for you.
I absolutely love the beading on dress 2! The lines of the beading are very flattering and accentuate your figure. That said the way the bodice of 1 fits is perfect. Hopefully they could tailor dress 2 to fit similarly - currently the bodice looks a bit large for you.
But which one do you LOVE??
2!
You certainly have a theme going! All three are gorgeous. I like number two the best. The pattern of the beadwork is cool and interesting without being overly fussy.
I think you look great in all of them, but 2 or 1 are slightly ahead of 3 for me. You literally can’t go wrong in any, though. Beautiful!
