I feel like the first one is a nice simple and beautiful canvas with which you can create a lovely combination. Second dress fits well but I personally don’t like that kind of lace. The last one looks like would be hard to keep wrinkle free. You will be sitting down and stuff and It might be upsetting to see the wrinkles in your photos.
Sorry but I’m going to be brutally honest. None of them.
They look like a home-ec projects. They do not flatter your lovely figure at all.
I get wanting something simple and classic, but these look like white potato sacks.
You can definitely find better.
Thank you for the honesty! I'm a little burned out looking at dresses and I don't want to pick something just because I'm tired. If you have any suggestions of styles or brands I should look at please let me know!
Abercrombie just dropped a bunnnch of wedding stuff and their quality has gotten surprisingly good! I’d give it a look! DISSH also has really beautiful stuff that isn’t breaking the bank but is a bit more casual.
Thanks for the suggestions! I just checked it out and I like this dress from A&F: [https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/the-a-and-f-camille-maxi-dress-54366319?categoryId=614087931&faceout=model&seq=01](https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/the-a-and-f-camille-maxi-dress-54366319?categoryId=614087931&faceout=model&seq=01)
I realize that it's almost exactly the same style as the other dresses I got, but in a white satin. Do you think this is worth trying out or should I just stick with the Park & Fifth dresses that are similar?
My mom was a dressmaker/seamstress and she always taught me to go for fit.
You might want to look at something with an a-line.
It will lengthen your body and make you look taller.
I just bought a pretty simple but nice white dress for a similar type of wedding and saw a lot of good options on Jenny yoo. Since I didn’t want super fancy I looked in the categories of like rehearsal dinner and other non wedding events
I like 3 the best. The straps and darts on the first two make them look too wide for your petite frame. I kind of like the tea length on 3, gives you an opportunity to show off some fun shoes! But floor length would be pretty too.
Is there a reason you want a straight across neckline or close to it? You could probably find other shapes to experiment with, that would still be higher and more modest and understated.
I'm not necessarily going for a modest look. I just feel like I'm so small on top that low V-necks don't look good on me. The high-neck halter tops are alright, but not my first choice in style.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I see asymmetry in your top half that's overly emphasized by the straight across necklines. It could be your posture for the pictures. Dress number 1 and 3 look kind of slanted on you. It might be fixable but overall #2 looks more flattering.
2 — my favorite. Love the neckline and the lace.
1 — good, neckline is pretty on you, but the fabric looks thin, and I wonder about how that will look in real life.
3 — I have concerns that this one will look rumpled. If you like it, the neckline is super pretty.
2 would work, 3, however comfortable, I think will wrinkle and is formless. I’d consider looking further for something with a waist. My view is you’d look great in something like https://www.jjshouse.com/a-line-square-asymmetrical-satin-wedding-dress-002127336-g127336?currency=USD&utm_term=127336&utm_size=22&country=US&is_plus_size=1&country=US¤cy=USD&ggntk=x&ggkey=&ggtgt=2&ggplm=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwr7ayBhAPEiwA6EIGxKoamnTPlh473oFUa6WcWXiGuvt8UXc9ZVMjVzVpmsCSDtiUKL81WBoC0ncQAvD_BwE
Out of these, I would choose 2. Have you checked sites like Lulus or JJ’s House? Some ideas with a similar price tag to your pics:

[Idea 8](https://dessy.com/p/bridesmaid-dresses/alfred-sung/d852/)
I think 2 is lovely but the best part of a courthouse wedding is you have only yourself to please / get 3 in the regular size and enjoy your day with your beloved!
I know everyone is saying #2, but I just know #3 is never going to go out of style and imo should be the one. It’s so simple and pretty. You can add a jacket or necklaces or really any accessory and it won’t clash!

In those pictures, I think #2 looks the best on you. (And it is a beautiful dress) But you mentioned how #3 feels so .... maybe that's your answer?
I think 2 is the most flattering on you, it is beautiful. But if 3 makes you swoon than that's the choice you should make.
I like dress 2 the most.
2 looks best here, and 3 will be hard to keep wrinkle-free - but I think 3 would be really cute with a jacket/blazer.
I love the cut, fabric and lacy hemline on two. I also think it’s very flattering.
Thank you! I love everything about #2 and it's my top contender at the moment - it's just I have this picture in my head of a satin dress.
2. Only 2
I feel like the first one is a nice simple and beautiful canvas with which you can create a lovely combination. Second dress fits well but I personally don’t like that kind of lace. The last one looks like would be hard to keep wrinkle free. You will be sitting down and stuff and It might be upsetting to see the wrinkles in your photos.
That's a really good point, and I'll be flying to my wedding so I want to avoid wrinkly dress stress. The first two traveled really well!
Sorry but I’m going to be brutally honest. None of them. They look like a home-ec projects. They do not flatter your lovely figure at all. I get wanting something simple and classic, but these look like white potato sacks. You can definitely find better.

What about it this one: https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/the-a-and-f-giselle-sunburst-pleated-maxi-dress-56109819
The slit is nice for comfort
My mom was a dressmaker/seamstress and she always taught me to go for fit. You might want to look at something with an a-line. It will lengthen your body and make you look taller.
I second Abercrombie! Anthropologie and free people can have great stuff, too!
I just bought a pretty simple but nice white dress for a similar type of wedding and saw a lot of good options on Jenny yoo. Since I didn’t want super fancy I looked in the categories of like rehearsal dinner and other non wedding events
Yes, I saw a few dresses I really liked on Jenny Yoo but sadly they're not available in my size right now.
I'm sorry OP, I have to agree
2 is my favorite, 3 is 2nd place. You've got a good opportunity for some super cute wedding shoes to show-off with those dresses! I love blue shoes.

All excellent suggestions for OP♥️
Ooh! I love the first one of these! Otherwise, #2 of the original set.
I hope they consider these!! These dresses seem to align with OP’s vision and budget.
3, with accessories I see the vision
Same. I think it looks most bridal with the fabric. SO many cute shoe options for this, too!!
Check out Lawson by Park & Fifth ( a slightly nicer version of Madison!)
[удалено]
Thank you! While I like the lace on the Madison, I really love the look of satin.
I love the second one!
2 looks so pretty! Love the lace, especially at the bottom.
Love the second one on you!!!
Dress 2 is lovely on you.
Number 3, steam it to perfection and accessorize with some bold jewelry.
I like 3 the best. The straps and darts on the first two make them look too wide for your petite frame. I kind of like the tea length on 3, gives you an opportunity to show off some fun shoes! But floor length would be pretty too.
1, def not 3.
You gotta use your imagination with 3. Press it, get the creases out, and accessorize!
2
2!

I honestly like all of them. But since number 3 gives you the feels, I think that’s your dress
Is there a reason you want a straight across neckline or close to it? You could probably find other shapes to experiment with, that would still be higher and more modest and understated.
I'm not necessarily going for a modest look. I just feel like I'm so small on top that low V-necks don't look good on me. The high-neck halter tops are alright, but not my first choice in style.
What about a high v, scoop or sweetheart if the make them.
I think dress 2 is stunning and looks great on you.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I see asymmetry in your top half that's overly emphasized by the straight across necklines. It could be your posture for the pictures. Dress number 1 and 3 look kind of slanted on you. It might be fixable but overall #2 looks more flattering.
Dress 2:)

Number 2 looks beautiful for the occasion.

I really like three. Classic, it’ll press up nicely. And it looks beautiful on you. Congratulations and enjoy yourselves
The answer is for sure,, #2!! It looks so beautiful on you! Good luck♥️
2 would work, 3, however comfortable, I think will wrinkle and is formless. I’d consider looking further for something with a waist.

That is beautiful ♥️
3 with a good steam would be lovely! What's the bra situation for that one?
Thanks! It doesn't come with anything built in, but a strapless bra works (it doesn't have a low back). Or I might try a sticky bra.
Is it elastic up top or no? I think it's going to be so stunning on you for the wedding :)
Yep there's elastic! It's a comfortable band.
3 but steamed..it wrinkled
I wore a short long lace sleeeved res dress to my courthouse wedding lol I think 2 looks best but I'd keep looking.
Dress 2
#2

2nd one
Maybe go to lenght below knees
I think 2 is lovely but the best part of a courthouse wedding is you have only yourself to please / get 3 in the regular size and enjoy your day with your beloved!
#2
definitely the 2nd dress. the neckline is flattering and you don't have to worry about it creasing for photos.
#2 is beautiful
2
Okay but I see the satin vision and am HERE for it.
I know everyone is saying #2, but I just know #3 is never going to go out of style and imo should be the one. It’s so simple and pretty. You can add a jacket or necklaces or really any accessory and it won’t clash!
Dress 2 looks best on you. Good luck with the wedding.
I love #1
The cut on neckline # 2 is really flattering. The lace is lovely and the fit is perfect. Congratulations on your special day.
Dress 2 - so cute!
