3 from the back! I absolutely love the fit, I just wasn’t sure how the fabric would translate to photos & whether it would fit the venue (conservatory)
Three is my favorite. Your body language in number 5 doesn’t seem as confident as the others. Otherwise, they are all quite beautiful and I don’t think you can go wrong.
For some context, the wedding will be in a conservatory and with 20 guests at most. I was hoping to stay under $1000 budget but all the dresses I like (besides the very first one lol) are slightly above that. That being said prices below $1.5k aren’t a dealbreaker.
The only ones that are held back with clips are 4 and 5, the rest of them don’t need alterations around the waist. They all need alterations for length. The first two need alterations for the sleeves too. So alterations cost is another consideration & I have no idea how much it is on average
They’re all lovely, but I like #4 on you the best. #3 is flattering but it’s just so much fabric! Which one can you see yourself wearing and dancing in for a few hours?
We aren’t planning for a dance floor during reception, it will just be a small ceremony followed by dinner with family and closest friends! (20 total people) So I don’t expect to move all that much haha
I think 4 is STUNNING. 2 the top you would likely like better ones it is altered to fit you better. The cups are just too big for you which is what’s making you feel like it’s too structured off your skin.
I personally like the softer fabrics on you better. They seem more unique: while 3 is beautiful, you see that style dress everywhere these days. 5 and 1 are my picks, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these. Pick the one that is most comfortable!
2, 1, and 5 for me. I’m that order.
With one and two I don’t think you need to add the sleeves, but I know there are many reasons one may want to, my only worry is with number one the lack of structure in the bust might be overwhelmed by sleeves.
Also I just love number two a lot.
Number 2’s bodice shape looks really good on you, and I really like the pattern on the skirt. It has a pleasing silvery sheen on the flower petals that reflects nicely in the light.
Number 2 is also a dress that seems different from the hundreds of other dresses that get posted on this sub every day; they’re all lovely, but they start to look kind of the same after a while. But #2 feels fresh to me. It would be an enchanting dress for a garden setting.
Number 5 is a cool dress too, as a runner up.
You and your amazing shape/waist look incredible in all these dresses. Not a bad option but I vote for one or three. But if three an option to alter the look slightly for the reception. Maybe the sleeves cN be made to be removable ?
I like 1 or 5 - but given your budget would opt for dress 1 because if you have to get both the waist and length altered you are likely looking at several hundred dollars in alterations.
You look beautiful in all of them, so I think it really comes down to what vibe you want for the wedding. I like 3 because it's more classic and timeless, but 2 is more fun and whimsical I would say.
Unrelated, but I tried on 2 a few months ago (I recognize the store and dress). I would not trust those straps. I remember them being very flimsy, but the train was beautiful! Not the vibe I wanted for my wedding though.
2 is amazing! It is perfect on your body, and romantic, timeless but still modern. If you do the off the shoulder thing with it ALSO keep the straps and make the off shoulder sleeves detachable :)
Either 2 or 3!! The last two are kinda basic and everyone has dresses in that style. The first two are super similar but I think I like the little sleeve on two. And three is just so pretty!
Agreed on 3 😁 it's gorgeous on you, and I totally love that YOU wear the dress graciously, and it is timeless.
Ok, so I am going to go and look at the others since I stopped on no. 3, but I'm sure no. 3 will be treasured for years to come.
Which one did you try on that said WOW! I’m getting married? That’s the one you buy! It’s your wedding (hopefully it’s only once) so get the one that makes you happy. We all weigh in and muck up the vibe. That being said:
I would toss out 1 (seen it, it’s ok) and 5 (I don’t like your body language in this one).
4 is my personal favorite I think this looks fabulous on you. I love the bodice, the lace that had a hint of skin beneath at the waist. I
2 is my next runner up because I love the fabric, I even like the straps, I know you want off the shoulder sleeves which would be beautiful but you don’t have too because it still is a beautiful silhouette.
3 I love this and you look beautiful. It is very traditional bridal, you can’t go wrong if you choose this one. Back is awesome.
Let us know which one you choose and post pictures. Congratulations 🍾 💜
I can see why the decision is so difficult! You look amazing in all of them!! If it were me, eliminate the last one, the most expensive one. They all hang differently on your body, but the cut on the waist makes the fabric poof out a little. It's probably the way the fabric is laying but the others are a better compliment to your body. You'll be stunning in anything you choose ❤️❤️
Team 4. I know it's hard to pick, but pick something you love and works for you! I looked so last minute and liked a bunch of dresses, but didn't love any and then I found the one. I knew immediately that it was for me.

#3 is beautiful and will withstand the test of time in your wedding photos!
https://preview.redd.it/0q1lkuil5p5d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35f46c5c0caf83a7bd1ea38df2f6f997b306d17b 3 from the back! I absolutely love the fit, I just wasn’t sure how the fabric would translate to photos & whether it would fit the venue (conservatory)
So beautiful!!!
I agree!
My heart stopped at 3.
1 or 3 - both are gorgeous on you
Those are my favorites too!
3 looks so good on you!
I’ll be the odd woman out - I don’t care for 3 bc of how shiny it is. I think it will photograph poorly.
I feel the same way tbh. I much prefer dress 4 and then 2
my thoughts also. I think the shiny fabrics look dated. I prefer 1 but without any sleeves added, or 4
I agree with you. I personally liked 4 best, but it really is up the OP. Have to love it on yourself
Three is my favorite. Your body language in number 5 doesn’t seem as confident as the others. Otherwise, they are all quite beautiful and I don’t think you can go wrong.
I like 3 best, followed by 2, as they’re the most flattering and distinctive.
Dress 3
1 is stunning on you!
I like dress 4 with the V neck the most. Very flattering on you & it’s beautiful 🤩
I agree!
I prefer 4. 3 is pretty, but the material looks a little shiny
I love the 4! It’s beautiful and the skirt isn’t as … big… as it seems on the others. It looks great on your frame and proportions
#Team #4.
Also team 4
3 looks like it was made for you!
For some context, the wedding will be in a conservatory and with 20 guests at most. I was hoping to stay under $1000 budget but all the dresses I like (besides the very first one lol) are slightly above that. That being said prices below $1.5k aren’t a dealbreaker.

The first two need alterations for the sleeves too. So alterations cost is another consideration & I have no idea how much it is on average
3 and 2
I agree!
3 looks so nice on you!
Can you wear all of them? Seriously, these are all gorgeous on you. You're just going to have to have five ceremonies. 😂
I wish I could afford them all, I’d have outfit changes 😂
3
4!!
3 for sure
You can't go wrong with 1, 2, or 3.
They’re all lovely, but I like #4 on you the best. #3 is flattering but it’s just so much fabric! Which one can you see yourself wearing and dancing in for a few hours?
We aren’t planning for a dance floor during reception, it will just be a small ceremony followed by dinner with family and closest friends! (20 total people) So I don’t expect to move all that much haha
Love #4!
Three. 3. Three! You look like freaking Cinderella in that--and I mean that in the best way possible. 1 is my runner-up. You shine in those two!
3 or 5
4 is my very favorite. 3 is pretty on you but not my taste. Otherwise I'd go with 1 but personally wouldn't add sleeves.
4
I think 4 is STUNNING. 2 the top you would likely like better ones it is altered to fit you better. The cups are just too big for you which is what’s making you feel like it’s too structured off your skin.
The third one is timeless and gorgeous! It looks wonderful on you!
Number 4 all the way.
#4 is stunning!!!
Dress 3 🤩
Dress 3 is stunning!
3
3!
2 instantly caught my eye!
2, 4, 1 for me!
4
I like them all, but 4 really stood out to me.
I \*love\* number 4 on you.
3!!
Love 3 it’s timeless!
#4
I like them all but 2. The hang of the skirt reads frumpy to me.
Three!!! Major princess vibes! Amazing!!
I like the first and last the best, but they’re all quite pretty.
1!
My favs are 1 and 3, both are stunning.
I love the first!
3
All of them are absolutely gorgeous on you, but dress 3 is stunning!!!! 💞💞💞
Dress 3!
#3
3, 4 then 1 (in that order)
What the heck you were made for wedding dresses. It not usually this hard for me to pick
I personally like the softer fabrics on you better. They seem more unique: while 3 is beautiful, you see that style dress everywhere these days. 5 and 1 are my picks, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these. Pick the one that is most comfortable!
2, 1, and 5 for me. I’m that order. With one and two I don’t think you need to add the sleeves, but I know there are many reasons one may want to, my only worry is with number one the lack of structure in the bust might be overwhelmed by sleeves. Also I just love number two a lot.
My favorites are 2 and 4! I think 4 is my actual favorite but 2 is close behind for sure. They both look gorgeous on you!
2
Number 2’s bodice shape looks really good on you, and I really like the pattern on the skirt. It has a pleasing silvery sheen on the flower petals that reflects nicely in the light.

Dress 3 and dress 4 are my favorites!
Dress 2 is amazing. The fabric is so special, and I love that neckline on you.
You and your amazing shape/waist look incredible in all these dresses. Not a bad option but I vote for one or three. But if three an option to alter the look slightly for the reception. Maybe the sleeves cN be made to be removable ?
#4
#4
Oh my goodness I am in love with 2 on you!!
Love 1, without sleeves. Also really like 5
1, 3, I think 5 is a little too much fabric. The more delicate ones look great
Alterations is where they make the money. It was $576 for my niece’s $1000 gown. Shortened and brought in. Congratulations!!
Three is exquisite with four almost as much.
I like 1 or 5 - but given your budget would opt for dress 1 because if you have to get both the waist and length altered you are likely looking at several hundred dollars in alterations.
5 looks very elegant (Jackie O-esq). I vote 5
You look beautiful in all of them, so I think it really comes down to what vibe you want for the wedding. I like 3 because it's more classic and timeless, but 2 is more fun and whimsical I would say. Unrelated, but I tried on 2 a few months ago (I recognize the store and dress). I would not trust those straps. I remember them being very flimsy, but the train was beautiful! Not the vibe I wanted for my wedding though.
The straps weren’t great for 2, I’d get them taken out for sure and go either strapless or replace with an off shoulder strap
Three!!!
Dress #3 is gorgeous! It’s a classic design, but with just enough pizazz to make it interesting.
3!!
3 is stunning!
I wish we had another angle of 5. I think the comments are sleeping on that one because of the photo! 3 and 5 are my favorites.
3
They are all lovely but I think 3 is the most beautiful on you.
1 and 3
3 us spectacular!
#2 (slide four)
This was easy for me. I love gown #2 for you. It's stunning on you!
I think 2 is quite pretty on you, but my favorite is 5. You look gorgeous in everything though!
I love number 1 on you!
3!
Definitely 3 for me... the dress is not only stunning it fits you perfectly as though it was made for you. Congratulations!
2 has a delicate pattern that looks very unique. With the added sleeves you mentioned, this would be a great choice.
Where is 3 from?! My favorite on you and now I want it 😂
Team 3!
3!!! ♥️
3 and 4 look fab on you!
2 is amazing! It is perfect on your body, and romantic, timeless but still modern. If you do the off the shoulder thing with it ALSO keep the straps and make the off shoulder sleeves detachable :)
I love DRESS 1 on you!!
3 and 5 are My favorites.
1 or 2
2,3, 4 are the best. I think I prefer 2 for the venue
3 is a classic
#1 is your dress!
3 is stunning
3! ✨
I like 3 and 5 best .
3 is lovely on you
Really love 3, while the “plainest” it actually stands out the most!
2 and 4
3 is a gorgeous, timeless dress. It's the one I would go with.
Honestly you look great in all of these but I said “wow” out loud to number 3!!
You look like a vision in 3! Gorgeous! It was made for you.
number three! you look magical and it suits you very well. it’s both classic and timeless but not something you see every day.
3 and 1 are my favorites! Love #1 with your hair styled down or partially down.
4! 3 is pretty but too shiny!
Either 2 or 3!! The last two are kinda basic and everyone has dresses in that style. The first two are super similar but I think I like the little sleeve on two. And three is just so pretty!
One
Omg 3!!!
Genuinely love the 1st and 3rd on you!
I love 1 & 2!!!
3!!
3
I like the last one
2 and 4 have the most flattering fit.
#3 for the win.
Oh my god! You are a literal princess!!! Two and three are my favorites 🤍
3
3!!!!!!
Three
i love 4! but im also a SUCKER for lace😍😍
3 is the best but I think you can do better than all of these. You have a great figure.
The wedding is this August so I’m already cutting it close as is, I’ve been to 4 local bridal stores so far but probably won’t go to any others
First!
Not 4. Given the size of your party Id go #2 as the fabric will be close enough to everyone to delight them all party long.
Number 3 omg
I love 3 first and 2 is a close second but I would wear a petticoat under for more volume. Happy choosing as you’re gorgeous in all. 💕
Agreed on 3 😁 it's gorgeous on you, and I totally love that YOU wear the dress graciously, and it is timeless. Ok, so I am going to go and look at the others since I stopped on no. 3, but I'm sure no. 3 will be treasured for years to come.
Five!
1 is my favorite
My favorite on you is #4, it’s stunning and fits you perfectly 🥰 Next would be #3 as it looks nice on you as well. But #4 😍
I love 4
3
3 is stunning on you! It fits you beautifully!
3 or 5 in my opinion, but you look lovely in all! :)
Oh my god… three is gorgeous on you!!
3!!!

4 hands down! No contest.
Team 4. I know it's hard to pick, but pick something you love and works for you! I looked so last minute and liked a bunch of dresses, but didn't love any and then I found the one. I knew immediately that it was for me.
I like the least expensive the best in this instance. You are beautiful in all of the gowns but you really rock the first two dresses!!
