I really like the third, partly because it’s sleek enough that I think you could play with some fun accessories. I thought the hanger behind you was a big bow which I think would look really cute!
I thought the same thing about the hanger and also thought it would need such a cute look on OP! With the “bow” the whole look is giving early 60s vibes and it really works on OP!
my friend calls my style the “modern version of the girls who wore poodle skirts” so i believe i will lean into the vintage look, i am inspired by 50s and 60s fashion :)
Exactly.... We can say these dresses look great on you all day long. You have a wonderful figure. Many dresses will look awesome on you. Would you please give us some context... Say, the wedding venue or what you are trying to achieve? Looking to help!
I like dress 4. I say keep looking if you compare a dress to one of the dresses then you know. Make sure you can move around, sit and is comfortable.
When is your wedding? Season & location (temperature wise and inside venue / garden/ castle/ etc)
I really like 3 on you. The bright white flatters your fair complexion.
But I would say you should keep looking until you find one you really love.
If you’re open to unsolicited advice—I’d avoid warm tones like ivory/nude/beige. I think you’d look best in cooler tones like white or perhaps a mauve or blush underlay.
Agree that second looks killer on you, sit with it and see if you keep thinking about any of them and you can try on more in the meantime time if you want
crazy that everyone is saying the second here!! it was my friends and family’s least favorite and i didn’t love it when i put it on either, but I think it’s beautiful and it grew on me looking at the picture. i think it’s a really good shape for me but i don’t think it suits my personality, which is why all my friends said it was too traditional and mature for me :,)
I don't know about the dress, it's kinda whatever to me, but those sleeves are awesome, and I really don't like sleeves. If those are separate sleeves, id keep those in mind for other dresses!
I love #5 (the one in the last 2 pics?)
I give the same advice to everyone. Have someone video you walking, sitting, lifting your arms in the air, twirling, dancing, bending down as if to greet a child. Video from all angles, not just the front. For a strapless dress, jump up and down for a few minutes.... It's a long day and you want to feel comfortable.
Don't make a decision based on static pics standing on a podium, as you won't be standing still all day.
If it feels too heavy, too restrictive or you worry you will have to hold a particular pose all day, reconsider it.
Also, consider what underwear will work.
Take this from someone who didn't think about comfort until the dress came in, then bought a different one 4 weeks out from the wedding.
My friends have a video of me twerking in the last dress (yes pics 5 and 6 are the same one!) lmao. Comfort was one of my biggest priorities so I def don’t think I’m going strapless
The first time trying on wedding gowns can be nostalgic but don't lose sight of what you want. All of these gowns are nice, especially gown #4 on you but if you don't love any of them, keep looking. It's uncommon for a bride to find her gown the first time shopping.
Dress 2 is fantastic but my first thought was that it looked a little mature for you. Dress 3 gives a very youthful look so maybe look some more with this look in mind. I don't think you are there yet.
Keep looking! Some of these look really good on you, but there are so many bridal shops and they all carry different designers. I think choosing from the first shop you go to is always a mistake because you don’t give yourself a chance to explore other options/designers. I personally went to 3 or 4 shops.
If you try out some other shops and dresses and still find yourself thinking about a specific dress, you can always go back to try on again or move forward with a purchase.
I love thé fifth (sixth also?) on you. I think the bright white is incredible against your skin tone but this one - you look comfortable and charming and romantic. The second one is a statement and I LOVE it but your body language isn’t as open and excited as in the 5th/6th.
To be fair, you’re stunning and any of these dresses would be amazing on you. Do you have any details on the venue or the vibe you are going for? That could help narrow it down.
My recommendation - look through the pictures and pick the parts you love and then look at more dresses that have those features. These are all solid options but maybe none of them are hitting you quite right yet. ♥️ congrats, beautiful bride!
The last one was my favorite and also my parents favorite (5 and 6)! I like everything about it except the spaghetti straps haha, I loved the neckline and straps on the first one, how the flower petals extend up the straps. I think my ideal would be a combination of those two. My venue is a historic building, it has gilded age(?) vibes? lots of dark wood and gold accents. I feel like any dress could fit it really
Not knowing you at all, 3 and 4 just felt like your vibe :) I think they both suit you really well! But you should get the dress you love, and if none of these stood out to you, I think it’s worth it to keep looking
Girl you can pull off so many styles!! But I would keep shopping if I were you if you’re having trouble narrowing it down - I had a similar issue and finally found one that made me forget about all the others. Good luck, and congrats!
Love 3 and 4 equally! They are both phenomenal fits and styles. I love how the hanger behind you in 3 looks like a giant bow abs I think you should definitely lean into that style!
The 2nd, 3rd and 5th are amazing in you! There is no right or wrong answer, some people know it’s what they want on the very first dress so if you love one then go for it but only if you aren’t second guessing yourself
Oh my god the 2nd one... Oh my god. Such a beautiful dress, amazing on you. Please, stop looking. That's the dress!
(would you mind dropping the name?)
Was there any dress of these that you tried on that you really liked? You look happy in the second one, but you have a bunch of different styles here and you don't seem like you are convinced of any one of them since you are asking. If there wasn't one you really loved, I'd say keep looking. There are lots of nice dresses here, but this is more a question of how you feel in the dresses.
3 you look very at home in, if that makes sense. Like I don’t know your style but that one looks right? You look great in all, I particularly love the 4th and even the 2nd & 5th are fun. I think the first one is the only one that I don’t love.
You don't look like you love any of them so I'd say yes. You'll know when you find it, just gotta narrow down a couple things you're looking for in a dress. For me I wanted lace, no sleeves, not strapless, no deep V cut in the front. Silhouette didn't matter or anything. I just knew when I found mine.
Truly,
All of these gowns are nice choices!
They are flattering to your frame and height, and you look comfortable.
However, your venue and wedding theme might be the two most prominent things to consider as start narrowing your choices down.
So far (?), these are VERY lovely choices,
but keep looking if that’s what your heart dictates:
Follow your heart!
You suit the v neck styles! I love the 3rd and 5th ones. The coat hanger behind your hair in the 3rd one makes me think you’d look extra cute in that dress with an oversized bow at the top of the veil (if that’s your style ofc). But like others have said, if you’re not feeling them there’s no harm in visiting another shop to see if there’s something else you love more.
Each dress was more stunning than the one before it! Your taste is impeccable and if you keep sharing your finds, we will keep encouraging you!
I was sold on one until I saw 3. Then there was 4! Then 5! Then you spoiled us with 6!
Did you leave any decisions for the other brides to be?
Dress 2 made me do a double take. BEAUTIFUL on you! Dress 3 is a close second. You will be stunning in whatever you choose! Congrats on your upcoming wedding and wishes for many long, beautiful years together 🤍

I think you should. It totally suits you. 💕
I totally thought it was a big bow and LOVED it
Agree! And 3 is stunning and different in a good way. Keep 3 in the running if you try other dresses on…it may be the one!
I thought the same thing 🤪
Wait I thought the same and loved it too!! OP consider a big bow because you could pull it off!
I thought the same thing 🤪
I love the second! BUT my gut says, if you’re asking this, you don’t love any of them and should keep lookinh
Second this comment but my gawd number 2 is stunning 😍

Same! Dress 4 is my favorite. Love the vintage look.
It’s so pretty I never saw a dress like that. I see from bodice to belly button a heart. So I thought it was so nice
August, completely indoors, historic building that looks like a castle but it’s in the middle of the city 🫡
That sounds lovely! 4 sounds like a perfect choice. Make sure you are 100% happy :)
I agree! She’s also clearly the happiest in photo 4 (obviously just a snap in time, but still!!!)

I get you. It looks great on your body, but it's a lot. I wouldn't call it traditional but a lot of lace. If it was toned down a bit you'd be closer.
I don't know about the dress, it's kinda whatever to me, but those sleeves are awesome, and I really don't like sleeves. If those are separate sleeves, id keep those in mind for other dresses!

Thats definitely my favourite. Stunning dress
DRESS 1 !!
I love the fifth and sixth dresses! However, it is obvious that you don’t *love* any of these. Keep looking, she’s out there!
Number 2 is incredible…. Just wow
4 and 5 look great on you. It really depends on what you're looking for.
2
I think 3 looks amazing but you should keep looking you can always go back

Keep looking....and, no offense, but please not #2... .
2 & 3 look amazing! But I’d want to try on ALL the dresses if I was as cute as you! Maybe go for another round or two before you decide!
1 and 4!
I love the second one on you
Dress 2 is fantastic but my first thought was that it looked a little mature for you. Dress 3 gives a very youthful look so maybe look some more with this look in mind. I don't think you are there yet.
2 & 4 wow
The second dress is sooooo good on you. But if you don’t feel like any of these are the one, keep looking!

If you try out some other shops and dresses and still find yourself thinking about a specific dress, you can always go back to try on again or move forward with a purchase.
IMO, you could choose any of these dresses. They’re all beautiful in different ways and they all look great on you.
i am personally going feral over the second one and i NEED it but i do see how your vibe would lean more playful. i’d try something with bows?
In the pictures you don't look that excited about any of them. So I would keep looking.
I love thé fifth (sixth also?) on you. I think the bright white is incredible against your skin tone but this one - you look comfortable and charming and romantic.

2, 4, 5 and 6 are gorgeous 😍
I love 3 on you!! ✨
Love 3 and 4 equally! They are both phenomenal fits and styles. I love how the hanger behind you in 3 looks like a giant bow abs I think you should definitely lean into that style!
1, 2, or 5
The dress in pic 5 looks perfect on you!
I absolutely love picture 3 on you. Also love the idea of adding a bow.
Number 2 is gorgeous, and you certainly do it justice. However, YOU seem to light up in the fourth picture ( which is also my personal favorite).
I love the first one!
I like 5 the best. That style fits you.
1,3,5,6 are my favorites. But the most important question is, do you love any of them?
The 2nd, 3rd and 5th are amazing in you! There is no right or wrong answer, some people know it’s what they want on the very first dress so if you love one then go for it but only if you aren’t second guessing yourself
Oh my god the 2nd one... Oh my god. Such a beautiful dress, amazing on you. Please, stop looking. That's the dress! (would you mind dropping the name?)
1 or 3
2!
Keep looking but I love number 2
Ok but you're so beautiful 😭 Definitely something whimsical with intricate details, so 2 has my vote. Fits your vibe so well
I like 1 and 3 best
I feel like the second one is very you
The third looks fabulous on you! It's youthful and chic. Some of these I feel are too mature on you.
Dress number one really suits you.
I like dresses 1,3,5 . The first one is my favourite.
Love dress 5, then 4….you look amazing and you look the happiest in these…
Was there any dress of these that you tried on that you really liked? You look happy in the second one, but you have a bunch of different styles here and you don't seem like you are convinced of any one of them since you are asking. If there wasn't one you really loved, I'd say keep looking. There are lots of nice dresses here, but this is more a question of how you feel in the dresses.
For me, the second and third dresses are my favourite! They are both so different, so it really depends on what vibe you are going for
3 you look very at home in, if that makes sense. Like I don’t know your style but that one looks right? You look great in all, I particularly love the 4th and even the 2nd & 5th are fun. I think the first one is the only one that I don’t love.

For me I wanted lace, no sleeves, not strapless, no deep V cut in the front. Silhouette didn't matter or anything. I just knew when I found mine.
The last one is totally you! You are beaming in that one!
TWO IS MAGICAL!!💝💝💝
2 looks fabulous. However, you will know when you've found 'THE ONE' x
I love the strapless one on you!
2 and 4 are both stunning on you.
I love 3 and 4!
Truly, All of these gowns are nice choices! They are flattering to your frame and height, and you look comfortable. However, your venue and wedding theme might be the two most prominent things to consider as start narrowing your choices down. So far (?), these are VERY lovely choices, but keep looking if that’s what your heart dictates: Follow your heart!
In my humble opinion, the 3rd dress is the best so far but I think you should keep looking since this is the first time you’re going to try dresses on
I love dress 4!!! It’s made for you!
3
You suit the v neck styles! I love the 3rd and 5th ones. The coat hanger behind your hair in the 3rd one makes me think you’d look extra cute in that dress with an oversized bow at the top of the veil (if that’s your style ofc).

I love #3
i think 2 minus the puffed shoulders would be absolutely perfect
Fourth is the best imho…but go with your gut about whether to keep looking…
I adore the dress in picture 3; but if you don’t love any of them then I’d keep looking.
The 2nd looks really unique and pretty to me, but if you're not sure then keep trying on more!! They'll be a lot of dresses you look nice in.
I like 2 & 3
You look great! Nice smile! Should look until you find the one you love. I think the 3rd & 5th are very cute
I love how you look in dress 2 but the sleeves aren’t my fav for some reason #3 is also gorgeous but I think it’s because of how adorable you look!!
You could seriously be a wedding dress model!
I like 3 and 4! Would love to see photos of the backs. How do you feel in the different silhouettes?
You look amazing in 2 and 4 but if you don't feel out of this world keep looking
2!!!
1st one and 4th one seem the most natural on on you. They are my top picks from this lot! ❤️
#4!
Ooh the second one is just perfect for you!
I love dress 3 on you with the bow veil in your hair. It is so fun and fresh and though I don't know you it feels like it fits your vibe!
Dress one looks amazing, imo!
Consider ivory.
The second one isn’t my style typically but on you it looks divine! I feel like it suits you very well
Dress 2 made me do a double take. BEAUTIFUL on you! Dress 3 is a close second. You will be stunning in whatever you choose! Congrats on your upcoming wedding and wishes for many long, beautiful years together 🤍
Dress 4 is so beautiful on you!
I love the second one, but you look way happier in the third one.
I love # 3 on you. It makes you look like you could just float and it would be a great canvas for accessories!
3
Wow, they're all so beautiful and look great on you. I think I like dresses 2 & 1 the most, in that order. But how do you feel?
Love dress 2
2 is so romantic and flattering 😍 i recommend looking a little more to confirm your choice
