wedding dress poll

Okay, I need some opinions. I think I am now changing bridal stores (again). I lost more weight and the dresses now look much different then they did before. So please give me your opinion on which ones you like/dislike. I know some of these dresses may not be your cup of tea, but just an objective opinion would be helpful. My family and friends are driving me a little nutso. Thanks!

Dress A:

My favourite is number two but this is such a personal choice - only you will know which is the right dress for you.

I think at first all you can do is maybe eliminate styles that will not suit you - for example, if you are short, dress number one is probably not going to do you any favours with the layering of the skirt

I am only 5'2, but I can get it in a petite size so the skirt will be made shorter.

I def. know this is a personal choice: it's interesting to here what other's think though.

Thanks for your opinion! I like #2 as well.

Dress B.

Dress A...would not look good on anybody, plus you'd have to be reeeeeeeeally tall to not look stubbly.

Dress C doesn't offer a view on the bodice, so no comment there.

How are you going to wear your hair and what type of veil will you have?

I'm going to wear it half up, curly, with an elbow length veil and tiara.

For dress C if you scroll down the past and read the reviews, some of the girls posted pics of themself in the dress so that you can see the front.

My vote is #2 as well. I know you are only 5'2 ( as am I) and I have the same feeling that #1 is too much, and #3 has a dropped waist which isn't usually that flattering on petites either.

Good luck and thanks for sharing, this was fun !

Thanks guys!!!

All three look great on me, #1 like everyone said, does look a little odd because of my shortness.

I lost a lot of weight in my stomach and waist (I am a size 4 now!) so the top of the dress on #2 is extremely slimming.

I’d have to go with “C”. It’s classy without being overdone. I think you’re plenty slender enough that you could pull off a mermaid or trumpet design beautifully. I like the sweetheart necklines too, just not all the “poofy” crap. It reminds me of those horrible wedding dresses from the 80’s. You want to make sure you wear the dress and the dress doesn’t wear you.

By the way, my daughter has already tried on about thirty of them... and still hasn’t made up her mind! And I haven’t been much help picking my favorite on her, either. I like them all!!

If you can, take a camera with you when you try them on, and let us see what they look like "on" you.

With that in mind, 100000000000000000% Dress C (From DB). I love how simple, elegant, and classy the front is. Coming down the aisle won't be all busy and fussy looking like the others, and then when you pass, there will be this flair of drama. Love it.

EDIT... just saw other links, will go look at those now.

Thanks for the opinion!

The only reason why I am leaning towards a dress like A or C is because it is a VERY fancy, formal wedding.

Nothing with a sleeve or anything over your shoulders? Will your church let you get married in strapless?

What do you think is wrong with dress A?

I'm just curious, as it seems nobody likes that one...(I'm not offended though or upset)
