Which dress?? (poll)

Thank you everyone for your honest opinions

If you are torn between 4 dresses, maybe none of them are "the one". The dress is always the hardest part

I like #1 and #4.  I really like 4.  You have the body and I think it looks great on you.  I'm not crazy about the other 2.   

What did you feel most comfortable in?

It's not really all 4 that I'm torn between. It's just the last one, and the first ballgown. I have the picture of the first one because i liked the sash, and it would have been "the one" if it had a little something more to it. To me, it just doesn't look bridal enough. The third dress, looks like the second. I just threw it up on this message board because it looks similar, and just wanted opinions on it :) and yes, i totally agree, this is soo hard, and it's crunch time to find a dress! I wish we had more time.

Is there something in particular about the ballgowns that draw away from it looking good on me? Does it look like it kind of drowns me? (i don't know any other way to describe that lol{)

The first dress kind of constricted me.. the 2nd and the 4th, i am very comfortable in :)

I picked number 1, but i'm biased because that is my dress!! And I too am getting married in the backyard of a private Las Vegas estate! I didn't want anything too over the top for that reason. I think you are right that it is very simple but I don't think people wouldn't think it's a wedding gown. It is so simple, and elegant I love it!! Again I am biased, lol!

CPBride17

#1!

I like 4 with 1 a very close second.

Awe, i think it's gorgeous!  :) I really liked how we were able to do anything with it. It's also good for a backyard wedding. You can make it as dressy or as casual as you want it to be. I think the 4th dress was everything I wanted that 1st one to be though. It hugs my hips, but still has that "pizaz"..so my mother called it. lol

Diamond1031

I like 4 the best. It looks good on your body. I think the form fitting is what I like on you from the pics. :-). The first one does seem restricting but I love 4. 4 4 4. :-)

smokeybailey

I don't care for the pick-ups or whatever they are on 4.  I like 1.

Sin715

Is number 4 a David's Bridal dress?? I tried one on exactly like that there and it was sooo itchy! It is a very pretty dress though!

MeatAuditor

You look really good in #1.  Really.  That's probably why so many like that one.  But I understand it wasn't what you were going for.  Considering the input you included in the OP, I think #4 is the best overall.

OnCloudK9

Gurrrrrrllllllllllllllllllll, you are going to look gorgeous in any dress that you try on so you can't go wrong.  Speaking from personal experience, I just recommend you do not rush into buying a dress or let others sway your opinion when deep down YOU know what YOU really want.  Good luck.

AthenaRick

I'll probably have everyone against me on this one, but by the way you describe them I think YOU like number 2. (And to be honest the dress looks good) Maybe you should listen to AJF give it another chance and try more dresses. BTW any dress you choose is going to  be the right one.

No, It's at "Bridal and Botique" off Decatur and Tropicana.
The Second one is at David's though. I went to the one in Henderson and I was treated HORRIBLY. She just tossed the dresses in the room for me to help myself and many times we had to walk around the store to find her (we were the only customers in the store)

I think #1 is gorgeous, but I want to wear a wedding dress with more poof or something lol. I mean you only get one chance to wear a big white poofy dress with all eyes on you lol. If the weddnig was smaller, or if I were eloping, or if it were our vow renewals, I would totally go with it. It just doesn't match up to that dream dress i've always envisioned. That's why i am so confused :/

Thank you. I feel like if it were the dress, i would know it :/ I thought wedding dress shopping was supposed to be all tears and being in awe that you found it. I feel like i'm just cute in it.. beisdes, my FI said he wants to see my booty in my dress haha! And then I find myself second guessing if I look like someone wrapped me in a bed sheet or something because of the way it sort of drowns me?

Is this normal for everyone else too? how many dresses did you try on until you found the one?

Diamond1031

I didn't cry when I found my dress. My facial expression changed and I knew that was the one. :-). I found mine at the first store and was like the third or so dress. I tried on only a few more after than and knew which dress was The One. I always watch say yes to the dress and women have tried on tons of dresses and are still not finding the one. If you try on too many you might get even more confused or discouraged. I also agree that we have our opinions on what looks good from your pictures but ultimately it's what You feel good in and what Emotion you have once it's on. HTH. :-) GL! Let us know what you decide. :-)

In think i'm just naturally so undesisive. lol'
i take EVERYTHING into consideration. the wedding theme, wedding location, fiance's taste, close friends' opinions, theknot brides opinions, lol. I'm such a people pleaser.  I guess the most important thing is what I like. but i like them both :( I wish i could have both! haha

Did you happen to notice if they carry evening gowns, prom dresses, and/or colored gowns?  My hunt for a purple dress in Vegas didn't go well today.

Yes! It actually has more prom dresses than it does wedding dresses! Definitely go there to check it out. And since it's a family botique, you can definitely negotiate with them on the price ;) don't tell them i said that! haha

I like #4

Thecopelands

number 4 is a winner - it's gorgeous n really suits you....

MizLynn

I personally like the bodice on number 3 on you. I think that sort of saves you from drowning in it. 

But I agree with PPs about maybe doing some more shopping until you find the one that really revs your engine. I had the same problem with my dress shopping at first. I almost bought a cute David's Bridal dress, but it was just...cute to me. I started scouting out oncewed.com and preownedweddingdresses.com just to get a feel of how different dresses looked on actual people (I didn't have time to go to a lot of bridal shope myself). Looking at other brides in their dresses really helped me get a feel of how a dress looks on an actual person in real situations instead of the models with special lighting. I kept coming back to this one style of dress and once I realized that I kept looking and comparing the other dresses to it, I knew that was the one. 

Not exactly a crying, "say yes to the dress" moment, it was more like a lightbulb moment.  I actually bought the dress used from ebay without even trying it on, but I don't regret it one bit. I love my dress! 

Take a look online and see what you can come up with. Maggie Sottero's online collection is pretty extensive and if nothing else, it might help you narrow down some specifics on the types of things you'd like to see in your dress. 

HTH!

Between 1 and 4 for me. I'm partial to the black sash of 4.

Sara191431

I looked at a ton of dresses, and went back and forth on a few just like you, almost got one of them etc., and also was indecisive about things.  As soon as I put my dress on though, there was no question that was it.  I didn't have that OMG tear up moment some do, but I knew right away it was it.

That being said, of the 2 poofier ones being 2 and 3, I think 2 fits your theme more but I think I like 3 better.  I'm not a fan of pic ups so 4 would be my last choice.

Good luck!

davidsbride21

I think they all look nice on you.  I would say my pics are 1 and 3. 
I had a similar experience trying on dresses.  I tried a few trumpet form fitted styles as well as poofy styles and they all looked nice.  My heart was set on a poofy dress though and my fiance prefers a fuller skirt as well so that narrowed it down.  After trying on a few I knew I didn't want anything too plain and kept comparing it to a dress I had seen on a picture at my mother's friend's house before I got engaged.  (So I kind of knew then it was exactly what I wanted).  I managed to track down the woman and figured out the designer, finally, tried it and fell in love! I pick it up on Saturday, so excited

You will know when yu have found "The One".  You will not stop thinking about it!

dizzygoo82

I like 1 and 4!

I wouldn't wear that sash. It'd be the champgane one from the first

I like 1 and 3 the best. I know it is hard to choose but you will look amazing in all of them!!
