Help! Which dress do you prefer?

acvollmar

Hi! I am new to the message boards, but I really need some help and some unbiased opinions. I have four different wedding dresses that I have tried on and absolutely love. I get that "feeling" that everyone talks about when I put any four of these on. I can truly see myself getting married in any four of these dresses. I always have been, and always will be extremely indecisive, and I need help! I figured I could get a good sampling of unbiased opinions here. And please, comments on why you like the dress is most appreciated!Dress 1: http://i33.tinypic.com/2ikqtxj.jpgDress 2: http://i34.tinypic.com/33ommtv.jpgDress 3: http://i34.tinypic.com/w00sxw.jpgDress 4: http://i38.tinypic.com/ouozmp.jpgThanks so much!

I like dress 3. I think it is the most flattering on you and it's not too plain. Plus I think you look the most at ease in that dress. Dress 3 is my vote.

I like #3 also.  I'm not a fan of lace (#1 and #2), #4 looks a bit plain, and I'm bias towards pick-ups!!  I think there is something so enchanting about them!

I'd vote for 1 or 2 (can't see 1 straight on in the picture). I think the long straight lace makes you look nice and thin all the way down...

I agree with pp, I think dress 3 is the most flattering but I also like dress 4 on you. I did not like 1 or 2 for you.

I think you cut the cleanest figure in #4. I'm biased because I tried on #2 (MS Jorie Ann, right? Or is it something else?) and lace clearly wasn't working for me at all. I think you look good in lace, but I think the "cleaner" dresses look better on you. Plus it was hard for me to get a real feeling for #1 since the photo is a side-view. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, though.

In my order of preference, 3, 4, 1, 2.   I think #3 is by far the best one on you.  It's very flattering and you look the most beautiful in it.

Thank you all so much for your opinions! They really are helping! I really appreciate all the feedback and so fast, too! Keep 'em coming! : )

mbcdefg.... Close, it was a Maggie Sottero dress, but I think the style name is Addie Lynn. My bridesmaids tend to like this dress. I really like this one too, because I've always thought that I wanted an all-lace dress and something more "vintage" looking, but the other day I tried on the simpler, more modern dresses and I really like those, too!

Hm..this thread is so interesting! So funny how people all see different things in the same photo or dress. I actually prefer #1, but like everyone else said, it's tough without the frontal view. It just looks beautiful and romantic and classic to me. I also like 3 (that seems like the most popular) in terms of it being very flattering, but I'm just not a fan of pickups at all. I definitely don't want to offend anyone who has a pickup skirt on their dress, but I just prefer the clean lines of more classic skirts. For 2, I think the corset back doesn't quite look delicate enough to be bridal (though it looks great on you) and for 4, it's a little too simple and I'm not sure how much I like the seams down the front. Good luck with your choice! You look awesome in all of these.

I'd say 1 or 4, I'm a big fan of classic dresses. I've looked back at the dresses from the 70's and 80's and the "in" dresses now look HORRIBLE and I don't want to be the bride in the dress that people will think is ridiculous in 10 or 15 years. I think pick-ups are going to be the pouffy sleeves of the 2000's! But thats jut my w2 cents.

I also prefer #1, love the cap sleeves and lace, very flattering! #3 would be my runner up.There has got to be one that you are leaning towards, right??!!!!

krisdi78

I like #1 and #4 best on you - #3 really isn't my style so maybe thats why I am biased and don't like it - I also don't really like #2 on you - the way the ribbon cuts on you just doesn't look right to me - don't know why - so I say, if you want lace I say do #1 and if you want something more modern #4

nrskrs

I like 1 and 3, I think they look the most flattering on you!  Good luck!

rouhas

I vote #3 or #4 with #3 winning by a tiny bit.  very flattering!!!

Lalanav

I like 3 the best, AND I think your smile looks the most genuine and happy in the third one.

Hi acvollmar! First off you look gorgeous in all of them so no matter what one you choose it will be the "right dress".  That being said, from what I can see in the pictures I like number 1 the best.  I loved the way the lace looks on you!  I also really like number 3, it is very similar to my dress!  I have the pickups too, but I wouldn't be afraid of being dated in the future.  Of Course we will be!  I think every wedding out there will be dated 20yrs down the road, even the ones with classic looking bridal dresses.  So don't let that be a deciding factor for you, pick whatever one you feel the best in!

moebride102409

#3 is my fav...followed by 1, 4, then 2   Best of luck! remember only you know how you feel in the dresses!

desertmomnm

I like #3 best followed by 1, 4, 2. #2 is the only one I don't much care for on you.

strobby

I love 4 on you! My second favorite is 3.

smarttj

They are all beautiful, but my vote is for #3.

deborah2121

I like #3 the best.  The side ruching is fantastic!  I also like #1, but I would like to see it from the front because I'm not sure how the cap sleeves look.  #4 is also very nice.  I'm not a fan of #2 but I could just be distracted by the crease in the fabric. 

a2crane

My favorites are number 1 and then number 3!!! They are all so beautiful on you...I can see that this will be a tough decision!

mayzie021

# 3 by far is the most flattering on you and you look beautiful in it.  As far as the pick-ups being dated I wouldn't worry about it.  My dress has a much more dramatic pick ups than yours does and I love it.  My advice to you is don't worry about your dress being dated.  Yes pick-ups are in "right now" but so are the dresses with the corset backs and the buttons down the back - that's why I chose one with a zipper - I wanted it to different.  Just about every dress I've looked at has had buttons/a corset back -  and these are both a fad right now.  You want to be able to look at the photos in 20 years and still like the dress, if you pick the right one you will   My second choice would be the one with the ribbon - my dress has this also and sets it apart from everyone elses.

I vote for number 3!! By far!!

misskris927

I think that # 3 looks the best on you and #4 would be my second pic. I'm not really crazy about 1 and 2.

meredithl618

I love the style of dresses 1 and 2... but I don't think that they are right for you. I like # 3 on you the best. It has a really flattering shape that is proportioned just right. My second choice would be #4, but I really like the detail on the bottom of the third dress.

Based on the angles you gave us to look at, #3 looks best on your figure and looks the most flattering.  All the other one's just lay blah on you.... Definitely would go with 3 all the way.
