Long story short, I purchased a dress in 2008 and have since had 2 boys. Needless to say, the dress doesn't fit now, but I'm sure it would if I tried hard enough. It's not out of the question. My dilemma is that I have had the dress for so long and seen so many other gorgeous dresses that I'm not sure if it's the best choice anymore.
My FI is supportive of whatever I want and doesn't have a big opinion on the gown, and my closest friends all have differing opinions, so I figured I would see what the majority of strangers opinions are!

If it helps any, we're having a darker wedding theme (think kitschy skulls and red roses with lots of black and ivory,) I have tattoos to showcase, and (while beautiful in their own right) big beaded princess gowns usually aren't my thing.
Dress #1 (that I already own):

Dress #2 (FI's face lit up like a fool when I tried this one on):

Dress #3 (in ivory with the black flower accents, I'm thinking this would be the more...elegant (?) of the 3?):
