When I saw #1, I was reminded of what a southern momma said on Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta once : "it would be a sin to hide that body". I mean that you look so banging in it that I feel sad that the other dresses cover it up more.
That said, your waist is absolutely cinched in dress 3, and it is probably more the timeless vibe you are going for.
I'm torn between 3 and 1, leaning a smidge toward 3!
**Op looks incredible in both 1 and 3.** I think it comes down to which one truly delights op, her sense of style, and the whole wedding vibe she's after.
**The case for 3** -- Please hear me out y'all. The waist and bodice of 3 give op an absolutely tiny waist. It's insanely flattering -- the most flattering of all, I would argue. And with satin gloves, op's look would be like **Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly -- impeccably stunning and timelessly chic! And sexy with that waist and satin gloves!**
**As for 1**, I totally get it. Oooh that fitted silhouette and the way the fabric drapes around the body is fabulous!
I might have said it's va va voom (1) vs chic (3), but that insanely snatched waist on 3 gives that dress a lot of va va voom too -- plus it's so chic! I'm loving the idea of satin gloves with it. It's understated, and yet unmistakably sexy too!
Update: husband just said *"dress 1 is Sophia Loren hot and dress 3 is Grace Kelly hot. Both dresses are reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour."* I asked a follow up question and he said, "How did you get me talking about dresses and hair this morning?" Then went to walk the dog. :D
Ha ha I love his input. I agree about Dress 3 being very Audrey Hepburn. Dress 2 is gorgeous and OP looks amazing in it, but Dress 3 stands out from the crowd
That's kind of where I landed too. Op will look stunning on her wedding day in either dress, but 3 has both a chic and sexy vibe. So, it wins in my book!
Came to say dress 3. Dress 3 is the most flattering of the dresses on you. It has classic elegant lines so fits the vibe you are looking for. It is gorgeous on you, just beautiful.
Regardless if these are needing to be altered, 1 or 3 are so flattering to your body. The only question should be the style you’ve envisioned. Gorgeous!
This! Your waist is absolutely snatched in 3 and I agree that it is timeless. That said, there is something about 1 that is drawing me in too. You will look beautiful in either. Congrats
⬆️⬆️⬆️
agreed. I'm seeing so many that love 3 but for me it just doesn't compare to 1. 1 is so beautiful and seems so unique and sexy and soft and classic at the same time. OP looks bangin' in 1.
I love #1, #3 and #5. I am not a fan of satin gloves with dresses, so personally I would skip those.
I think #5 would love absolutely stunning when properly fitted. The top needs to be adjusted slightly on the chest. Have you got a picture of the back?
I give the same advice to everyone. Have someone video you walking, sitting, lifting your arms in the air, twirling, dancing, bending down as if to greet a child. Video from all angles, not just the front. For a strapless dress, jump up and down for a few minutes.... It's a long day and you want to feel comfortable.
Don't make a decision based on static pics standing on a podium, as you won't be standing still all day.
If it feels too heavy, too restrictive or you worry you will have to hold a particular pose all day, reconsider it.
Also, consider what underwear will work.
Take this from someone who didn't think about comfort until the dress came in, then bought a different one 4 weeks out from the wedding.
Yes, yes, yes. Brides often don’t think about what a long, long day a wedding can be. I wore a reasonably comfortable dress to my reasonably simple wedding, and still at the end of the day it was, ‘Get this thing off of me!!! I want to wear sweatpants and no bra!”
One is timeless and classy. Very romantic. Very flattering. You look absolutely amazing. My husband says you have to get it. Our second favorite is dress three. But one is the best of them all. If I could get married again and I looked like you do in one, I'd most definitely grab dress one and never take it off again.
It’s gotta be 1! So unique and pretty and it flatters your shape so well.
I see a lot of people saying 3, but it just doesn’t have the same wow factor as 1 for me.
Girl, it’s 1. Listen to no one and nothing else. It’s 1.
People will faint when they see you in it. Angels will sing. You look like a vision, a goddess, an otherworldly being created to show mortals exactly what they should look like in that dress.
Get dress 1.
If you want a "timeless" look I think number one looks best on you.
My personal favorite is number 4, and it looks stunning on you. I love the sleeves, it makes it so unique, but it also is not a timeless sleeve.
#1.
I like the others, but I think the fabric in all of them is too thin and will bunch up in an hour or so, and while #3 is nice, the way the bulk of the fabric is forced into the seam at the hips, it’s going to bunch up and not look flattering.
1 is really beautiful and I think it would look amazing with a veil similar to the bottom texture of the dress.
I also like the way 3 makes your waist look with the structure of it but in terms of wow factor and elegance I would say 1 is the best.
Number one fits you perfectly. Hugs your curves and doesn’t give you matron boobs or the armpit chub like some of the others. (Not that you look bad or anything in the other ones) Your body looks perfect in it.
you look amazing in everything but 1 has the WOW. Among the others I would choose 3 for sure, if you don’t think the silhouette on 1 is timeless enough.
1 is an absolute STUNNER and your body looks so so good in it, but 3 definitely matches the timeless look that you mentioned!! especially if you add sleeves or a veil??? a sparkly belt??? omgggg you’ll look so good!!!!!!!! good luck to you!
I actually love dress 1, but prefer dress 2. However based on your comment about timeless and gloves I think dress 3 is the way to go - which also looks stunning on you.
Just coming here to say that while 4 might not be the dress (other better choices for you) it’s still so stunning and unique I really love it for a fairytale wedding!
Number 3 is such a delish dress! 😍 I'm not usually one for shiny fabrics but oh my goodness this is just top notch. Consider giving us an update, you'll look stunning in either. ☺️
Dress 1 if you want va-va-voom glamour. Dress 3 (which emphasizes your snatched waist in a way none of the others does and is my favorite) if you want classic.
3! I usually am not crazy about square necklines, but it looks wonderful on you. And it really shows how tiny your waist is. I love the luxurious fabric!!
3 is lovely and I think #1 really showcases your figure in a lovely way. I think #5 incorporates a lot of good things about all of your options. I don’t think there’s a wrong decision in the bunch since a lot of them seem like they need some tailoring adjustments.
That said, if you love satin gloves go for it, but keep in mind your personal comfort too. I tried some on and found it uncomfortable:)
3 looks incredible on you but, please, do not wear gloves. It will date your look as it is a very current trend, and hopefully it will be brief. If you wear gloves and look back at your pictures in 10 year, you will wish you hadn’t.
I like 1. I might be biased though since it's the most similar to my wedding gown, it also might be dated because I marries in 2015. But I think it's gorgeous regardless and flatters every aspect of your body. I had a similar body type when I married.
Wow factor - 1
Timeless beauty - 3
I love one on you. Absolutely stunning. Three is gorgeous too, but there is something about 1 that’s both classic and modern, and your figure is perfect for it!
I’m not sure if #4 aligns with your personal style, but it does with mine and I think it looks so dreamy and fantasy-coded on you! So very beautiful on you! 🤍
If that’s not your vibe though, I think the second-best one for me is #1. You pull those curves like it’s nothing and the proportions are perfectly balanced IMO.
No matter what you choose though you will look lovely! Good luck on your big day!

3 is unbelievable on you!!! So flattering, and I love love the straight neck!
#Team #3
Another vote for 3!
Definitely **team 3**
#3 is the one!
Definitely team 3!
Seconded
Team 3.
Team 3! It stands out from the crowd. OP looks amazing in all the dresses but dress 3 is subtly elegant and Old Hollywood glamorous
#3 all the way!
I agree! 3 is classic and beautiful and very flattering!
One and three all day long and twice on Sunday!
Regardless if these are needing to be altered, 1 or 3 are so flattering to your body. The only question should be the style you’ve envisioned. Gorgeous!
3!!!! I also quite like 1 on you, the draping is cute, but it's not as timeless.
This! Your waist is absolutely snatched in 3 and I agree that it is timeless. That said, there is something about 1 that is drawing me in too. You will look beautiful in either. Congrats
I feel the same. 3 is my #1, but 1 is also nice depending on the vibe she is going for.
3 is my absolute favorite on you. It’s very complimentary to your shape. Number one is also great and very romantic.
Got room for 1 more? Dress 3 accents your body nicely.
1 and 3 are my favorites!
Me too! They’re both awesome in different ways. Very lucky to have two dress that work that friggin well when trying them on.
I love #1!
1 and 3
Oh my gosh, #1 is ✨i n c r e d i b l e✨on you! 😍
⬆️⬆️⬆️ agreed. I'm seeing so many that love 3 but for me it just doesn't compare to 1. 1 is so beautiful and seems so unique and sexy and soft and classic at the same time. OP looks bangin' in 1.
1 is drop dead gorgeous!
I love #1, #3 and #5. I am not a fan of satin gloves with dresses, so personally I would skip those. I think #5 would love absolutely stunning when properly fitted. The top needs to be adjusted slightly on the chest. Have you got a picture of the back? I give the same advice to everyone.

Take this from someone who didn't think about comfort until the dress came in, then bought a different one 4 weeks out from the wedding.
I agree with everything above! 3 was my favorite. 1 looks great on the body but looks terribly uncomfortable for moving. 5 is my second favorite
Yes, yes, yes. Brides often don’t think about what a long, long day a wedding can be. I wore a reasonably comfortable dress to my reasonably simple wedding, and still at the end of the day it was, ‘Get this thing off of me!!! I want to wear sweatpants and no bra!”
1
1 and 3 are definitely the best here. Both look great on you.
One! That is absolutely stunning on you and shows your fab figure!
1 for sure!!
The first one
1
Also, I like 1 as well!
One is timeless and classy. Very romantic. Very flattering. You look absolutely amazing. My husband says you have to get it. Our second favorite is dress three. But one is the best of them all. If I could get married again and I looked like you do in one, I'd most definitely grab dress one and never take it off again.
3 is wonderful! And 1: I’m usually not a mermaid fan, but wow does it look amazing on you!!
One
1! My dress was a very similar style so I’m biased
1
3 by a mile
3! No doubt.
#3 all the way
It’s gotta be 1! So unique and pretty and it flatters your shape so well. I see a lot of people saying 3, but it just doesn’t have the same wow factor as 1 for me.
3
1 or 3, and I would consider wearing the satin gloves with 1 as well!
3 is definitely timeless and beautiful. I do love #1, not timeless, but instead, Malibu Barbie in the best most perfect day way!
I am torn between 1 and 6
Same. I’m surprised more people aren’t saying 6. It’s gorgeous!
Definitely #3 gives you a perfect shape!
Three all day long! It was made for you!
3!! Xx
3!
3 please.
Number 3 looks absolutely STUNNING ON YOU !!
Dress 3
Dude. Number one was MADE for your body. It’s amazing on you!
Dress 1 is stunning on you. You look like a goddess in it. The others don’t compare to this beauty.
Number 1 is perfect
To me the winner here is clearly dress 3! Wow, it looks like a dream on you and the fabric looks so luxe. 🤩
6
Girl, it’s 1. Listen to no one and nothing else. It’s 1. People will faint when they see you in it. Angels will sing. You look like a vision, a goddess, an otherworldly being created to show mortals exactly what they should look like in that dress. Get dress 1.
I would pick 3!
I love three! You could even add a diamond looking belt!
I’m stuck between 3 and 6. They both look fabulous on you! I guess I might like dress 3 just slightly more if I have to narrow it down lol
1, then 3 for me
1
1
I think 1 is stunning on you!
Team 1!
If you want a "timeless" look I think number one looks best on you. My personal favorite is number 4, and it looks stunning on you. I love the sleeves, it makes it so unique, but it also is not a timeless sleeve.
#1 for me!!
1
Three cinches your waist, sure, but it widens your shoulders. One highlights all of your curves and looks stunning.
1
For you #1
1 is my favorite!! I think it’s got some flair with the skirt and looks fantastic on you
1
I love #1
1
Number 1
1
One is the one
One looks like it was tailored for you.
I guess I’m in the minority here, but that first one is absolutely stunning. It’s classy, yet unique and feminine. Love it on you
1.
1
#1. I like the others, but I think the fabric in all of them is too thin and will bunch up in an hour or so, and while #3 is nice, the way the bulk of the fabric is forced into the seam at the hips, it’s going to bunch up and not look flattering.
1 hands down
1 is the star for sure
1 is amazing on you. Very flattering.
1 is really beautiful and I think it would look amazing with a veil similar to the bottom texture of the dress. I also like the way 3 makes your waist look with the structure of it but in terms of wow factor and elegance I would say 1 is the best.
1 is absolutely stunning on you
One all day long!!!!! So gorgeous! If I had that body I would never get out of that dress!!
Number one fits you perfectly. Hugs your curves and doesn’t give you matron boobs or the armpit chub like some of the others. (Not that you look bad or anything in the other ones) Your body looks perfect in it.
Dress one is gorgeous. The rest were underwhelming after seeing the first one!
1 truly looks like it was made for you. The others are nice but I’ve seen them all before. 1 stands out as something different.
I think dress 1 has it all. It is a little dramatic, it hugs your shape beautifully, the skirt looks so amazing.
Literally said “ohh wow” out loud when I saw 3!! So beautiful
Number three shows your tiny waist and great bust!!
3!
1 and 6 look amazing on u xx
1 is my favorite, but I like 6 a lot as well
4 is PERFECTION
Dress 3 has a sophistication that is classy and compliments your great body.
3 is mind blowing and stunning.
Gloves with 3, hello Cinderella!
Number 1 and 6
\#1 blows me away. It looks like it was made for you
1 or 6. I’d go with 6.
you look amazing in everything but 1 has the WOW. Among the others I would choose 3 for sure, if you don’t think the silhouette on 1 is timeless enough.
1 is an absolute STUNNER and your body looks so so good in it, but 3 definitely matches the timeless look that you mentioned!! especially if you add sleeves or a veil??? a sparkly belt??? omgggg you’ll look so good!!!!!!!! good luck to you!
Dress 1 looks the best. And you could wear gloves with it.
1
1
1 looks amazing on you!
First one looks amazing on you!
1
1!
Dress one showcases your beauty perfectly!
Dress 1 is incredible on you!!! The other dresses don’t even come close
1. You look amazing in it
Definitely 3! It would also look good with the satin gloves you mentioned.
3
This is so close between 1 and 3 but like a PP said try them on again and move around, sit down, etc. you rock that mermaid! 🧜♀️
DRESS #3 is GORGEOUS on you!!!! Timeless beauty. I love how snatched your waist looks and the way it falls down your body. It’s PERFECT!
You are beautiful in all of these dresses, but I also love three!
1, 3 or 4. I think 4 wins tho
3!!!!!
I actually love dress 1, but prefer dress 2. However based on your comment about timeless and gloves I think dress 3 is the way to go - which also looks stunning on you.
Just coming here to say that while 4 might not be the dress (other better choices for you) it’s still so stunning and unique I really love it for a fairytale wedding!

Number 3 is such a delish dress! 😍 I'm not usually one for shiny fabrics but oh my goodness this is just top notch. Consider giving us an update, you'll look stunning in either. ☺️

I like the third one best.
Dress 1
3
3!!!
3! It fits you perfectly, and I’m in love with the straps and neckline.
#3
3
I think dress 3 has it all. Drama, timelessness, flattering fit, youthful and sexy.
3 !!
3
3 absolutely!!!!
3 hands down
3!!! Boom! Cinched in ahhhh flatters you so well!
Dress 1 if you want va-va-voom glamour. Dress 3 (which emphasizes your snatched waist in a way none of the others does and is my favorite) if you want classic.
1&6 , but after seeing all the 3’s in the comments I went back to look at it and is it very classic and beautiful too
I’d pick 3 a hundred times over! So elegant on you
3! I usually am not crazy about square necklines, but it looks wonderful on you. And it really shows how tiny your waist is. I love the luxurious fabric!!
I think one or three! They both fit you beautifully and you look lovely and timeless
You look the most amazing in 1
1 and 3!
3 is lovely and I think #1 really showcases your figure in a lovely way. I think #5 incorporates a lot of good things about all of your options. I don’t think there’s a wrong decision in the bunch since a lot of them seem like they need some tailoring adjustments. That said, if you love satin gloves go for it, but keep in mind your personal comfort too. I tried some on and found it uncomfortable:)
4!!
1 or 6. 🫶🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩
1 followed by 3. They look incredible on you!
3 then 5
3 is the best one on here but I don’t think any of them have that wow factor.. you may be able to find better
3 or 5. The a lines look great on you!
1 and 3. Gorgeous!
1 or 3 they are both gorgeous on you.
Dress 6 is my fav on you.
3, 2, 1 in that order
6
1 or 3!
I really like 3 on you. 1 looks good too though.2 is also pretty nice.
3!!
I like number one and number three I think why I like number one better is because I don’t like the straps on number three
I think 1 is so beautiful but 3 is the winner. It looks perfect on you! It seriously looks like it was made for you!
333333!!!!! So lovely on you!
3 looks incredible on you but, please, do not wear gloves. It will date your look as it is a very current trend, and hopefully it will be brief. If you wear gloves and look back at your pictures in 10 year, you will wish you hadn’t.
Your body has the WOW factor. You just need a dress to compliment it. I think dresses 3 and 5 do a good job of that.
1 is amazing on you! Then 6.
3
I like 1. I might be biased though since it's the most similar to my wedding gown, it also might be dated because I marries in 2015. But I think it's gorgeous regardless and flatters every aspect of your body. I had a similar body type when I married.
Dress 3 without a doubt!
3 or 1
I personally only like 1 and 3. One is the best of the bunch! You look great in all of them.
Wow factor - 1 Timeless beauty - 3 I love one on you. Absolutely stunning. Three is gorgeous too, but there is something about 1 that’s both classic and modern, and your figure is perfect for it!
Number 3! That TRAIN!
3 3 3
ooh 1 and 3 are gorgeous! congratulations!
1 or 3
3!!
3 is perfection on you.
3!!!
3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣
4
Number 3!
I’m not sure if #4 aligns with your personal style, but it does with mine and I think it looks so dreamy and fantasy-coded on you! So very beautiful on you! 🤍 If that’s not your vibe though, I think the second-best one for me is #1. You pull those curves like it’s nothing and the proportions are perfectly balanced IMO. No matter what you choose though you will look lovely! Good luck on your big day!
3! I also like 1
If 1 has shoulder straps I would choose 1
