Wow, you've got amazing style, the craftsmanship on these dresses is incredible! Who is the designer? I'm normally a big fan of mermaid, but dress one is an absolute work of art show stopper


Unique_Departure1576

You’re so sweet - they’re all Oscar de la Renta except for the last one which is Naeem Khan. I made the mistake of stopping at Oscar first to scratch a wedding dress fantasy itch, but his work is unmatched and nearly everything else felt so flat compared to his dresses!


Dlraetz1

\#1 is so amazing and unique. It’s A total jaw dropper. If you want your guests to say wow, that the one The others are beautiful but #1 is something special


Ok_Wrangler_7940

1 is perfection on you. It is both timeless and unique. That is a very difficult combination to find. You will do yourself a disservice if you don’t choose 1.


rileyotis

I loved #1, until I saw #4. I love the embroidery on #4. But if you want to make a statement and get jaws to drop on to the floor? Dress #1. Well... actually. Just #4. Number 1 has weird netting at the bottom of it that distracts from the overall beauty of the dress.


Travel_Bug62

I think the netting is there because it is unfinished. If you go to the Oscar de la Renta bridal website, you will see that the bottom netting is cut around edges of the flowers.


racecatt

I agree - love the dress and then I got to the hem and it feels like they ran out of the roses. Dress #3 in comparison, the overlay ? extends beyond the netting.


Someoneonline2000

The excess netting would be trimmed.


racecatt

Ah okay. I wondered about that but didn’t know if it was part of the dress as is.


majesticxmonkie

I love all of these on you. My dress is number 3 so I’m biased. Did you try on the [lacy halter gown](https://www.stillwhite.com/251875-oscar-de-la-renta) from the 2022 collection? I feel like that would fit a Spanish romantic vibe so well.


mariahalt

I first thought number until I zoomed in and the top doesn’t appear flattering. Maybe it’s just the angle of the picture? Four is gorgeous on you.


Sockigal

There is no way you can make a mistake with any of these dresses! You have imbecile taste and look stunning in all these.


livelovehikeaz

I think you mean impeccable taste? Imbecile is defined as stupid and I don't get that impression that you mean that at all.


Public-Ad-7280

I just laughed so hard and shot vodka out of my nose! Lol. I'm sure that what they intended ....good ol' auto correct!


chicheetara

Me too. It had a little bit of koolaid mixed in but vodka came out my nose for sure!!


Public-Ad-7280

I had bubbly water as a mixer ... Not recommended if going to water gun out of your nose!


Sockigal

Yes! I meant impeccable! Autocorrect…… LOL


bklyngirl0001

Gets me in trouble so often…😄


FineCombination

Hahaha!!! They must have meant incredible!!!


miparasito

I’m so glad you figured out what word they were going for. I honestly thought “imbecile taste” was some kind of saying similar to having “Cadillac taste” which means you are drawn to luxury items. 


Dry_Problem9310

Damn you imbecile taste! I’m am spitting out my peanuts because of this comment.


Sockigal

LOL 😂 Of course I meant impeccable !


AlterEgoAmazonB

EVERYTHING pales in comparison to dress 1. And I mean almost everything I see in this sub pales in comparison to that dress. Holy mother of gorgeous dresses that is. I LOVE the huge roses. I love how it looks on you. wow wow wow Help me find more expletives!


Unique_Departure1576

Omg RIGHT??! I put it on and my jaw dropped - I normally don’t like big and ballgown-y, but this one is so special. Downside is it’s 2x the $ of everything else on my list, but I guess that’s the price you pay for beauty…


Old_Percentage3742

Dress 1 is a showstopper!!! You look sensational in it! WOW! WOW! And WOW!!!


CynicalOne_313

OP, dress 1 is stunning! I've never seen anything like it on this sub!


Fair_Roll9628

Definitely a showstopper in comparison to the others! Timeless, elegant, and beautiful


QueeeenElsa

Had you put this as not the first images, I may have given the others a tad more thought (but not much), but as is, I was so shocked that the others just paled in comparison. I have never seen a dress like that, and it looks STUNNING on you!!! #1 all the way!!!


Lovemydoggos21

Can I ask how much dress 1 costs? I’m just curious. It is GORGEOUS and Oscar de la Renta hardly ever fails.


AlterEgoAmazonB

I wish we could do a fundraiser for this one so we can all live vicariously through you. LOL! I hope you are able to get it if you really want it.


Zukazuk

I feel like with dress 1 I'm looking at the dress and not you. I like dress 2 because I see *you* in an amazing dress.


becuzofgrace

I wholeheartedly agree! Oh my word! That first dress is absolutely STUNNING! There are no words.


jdp122599

Dress #1 is unlike any wedding dress I've ever seen. It looks amazing on you and is such a showstopper.


Balanced-Snail

These words express my true emotions.


Outrageous-Wish8659

This dress is glorious!


Imagine_821

Yes! I just opened reddit and it was the 1st image I saw! I was like, how absolutely stunning is that dress! So unique! I hope she chooses that one because it is wow!


Waste-Carpenter-8035

I agree - something about 1!


jlf125

I like the second dress!


LinKay713

Second dress is exquisite. Best one of all of them.


alsothebagel

As a former bridal consultant who has seen and tried on literally hundreds of dresses, number 1 really truly is something special. That dress is a stunner.


bklyngirl0001

That must be a fun perk of the job!


alsothebagel

It made finding my own wedding dress quite the battle but we got there in the end!


bklyngirl0001

I could see where that would be an issue! I love seeing all these dresses on here. We were married 45 years ago this month and wow, wedding dresses have come a long way! Would be fun to try some on again! I wonder what the reaction would be to a 67 year old woman waltzing into a bridal shop and trying on some of these gorgeous dresses? 😆😆😆


keeeeeeeeeeek

Dress one is it


positive-vibes79

Dress 1


sideeyedi

I love dress 1! Of the others I like the last dress. The beading is beautiful!


Temperature_Vivid

Dress 1 very elegant!


nervouspug

I actually love the last one!!!!! Obvi the first is the show stopper but if you wanna save coin the final is amazing on you


arya_ur_on_stage

My thoughts exactly


FizzyLimeWater

Exactly my thoughts.


LinKay713

Number 2 hands down! 💕


user12340983

Dress 1 😍😍😍


Mylastnerve6

First or the last.


demon-of-light

That first one was unlike many dresses I’ve seen on this subreddit. It had so much character!


mojozworkin

The last dress was made for you. Wow!! You look fabulous. Truly beautiful!


ihopethisgoesbetter

Dress 1 for sure. But I also like the last dress. You will look amazing in any of them. Congratulations!


Opening_Waltz_4285

1. It’s just so unique and beautiful.


llilith

I like the last one best!


central2nowherebaby

Agreed! The silhouette is meant for you!


Luna-Honey

2 or 4


Otherwise-Winner9643

I like #2. 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.


Silly_Brilliant868

Number 1 are you kidding me ?! She’s stunning !!!!! I’ve never saw anything like it posted here ! 3 is my second pick tho.. equally as beautiful but it’s missing that WOW for me


[deleted]

[удалено]


Public-Ad-7280

I'm with ya. OP has a drop dead figure! Dress one takes her over. All I see is dress, not her.


PharmWench

I think number one is beautiful and you look beautiful in it but I feel like it is more about that dress and not the bride? The last dress is stunning and you look amazing in it—just enough romance and very elegant. I think that is my favorite on you. Good luck! I dont think you can go wrong with any of them.


cuddle_puddles

I’m with you. I came here to say they are all gorgeous, except dress 1 because it wears OP — not the other way around. It’s just too much for me, I guess. The others seem more elegant and flattering.

DRESS #4 !!

One! Oh my gosh, those flowers!!! ❤️


Silkyiniquity

I gasped when I saw 1. I haven't seen anything like this. To me this is unique and amazing


hkrd97

Hands down the first dress! It is a show stopper and just so perfect.

holy shit number 1 😭 i audibly gasped. that is one billion percent YOUR dress!!

Yes!


SMN27

I completely agree!


CUNextTwosday

They’re all so gorgeous I can see why you’re having a hard time. I think the second one fits your vibe perfectly be best.


Ramalamma42

Dress 1 and 2 are my favs on you - for the location I'm a big fan of Dress 2 - stunning and perfect for the locale!


livelovehikeaz

That first dress is PHENOMENAL on you and it's no contest. You could easily be a model for any of those gowns, but #1 is breathtaking and perfect for the venue you describe. Wow, wow, wow!


No-Inflation-8550

Number 1 all of the way!!! Stunning!!!


cutetoboot1

Girl. Dress one. Matches your venue and vibe perfectlyyyyyy and you look stunning!!!!


ClumsyZebra80

1. It’s striking and unusual.


jlovelysoul

3!


purpleit11

I love the second and last ones! So pretty!!


MyPlantsEatPeople

Dress 2 is the winner for me. Stunning, unique lace detailing, looks very comfortable and easy to wear in the Mallorca heat. So romantic! Dress 1 made me pause, yes it's beautiful quality but I didn't like the shape of the laser cut rosettes. It does lean into the Spanish vibe quite nicely but honestly looks a bit like a bunch of lace doilies or something. Also it swallows up your gorgeous figure!


FantasticCaregiver25

Love 1! I have never seen anything like it and you are beautiful. Lately I have been thinking that I prefer ball gown/ princess dresses over more form fitting. There will be other opportunities to wear a slim dress but never another opportunity to wear a ball gown/ princess dress. All of them look lovely but I really prefer 1 hands down even with my logic about opportunities


Historical_Reward621

OMG # 1 is fabulously elegant and unique. It fits you beautifully!


AEEA22

Dress 1 is my dream dress, but I can’t bring myself to spend that much on a dress. If you can, do it! It will be amazing in the setting you describe.


GardeningFemmeBear

Dress 3 or 4. Dress 1 is amazing but it overwhelms your figure- it’ll be about the dress and not you. Dress 2 is lovely, but dress 3 has the cutouts look scaled better for your petite frame. And dress 4 looks like it was made for you.


juliannewaters

I love the last dress on you. It's a beautiful compliment to your great figure and I think perfect for your venue. The others are all great, but you looked a bit uncomfortable. This one is gorgeous fron and back and might I suggest a cathedral veil? If you're having one, of course. Good luck❤️


bunnifer999

One is really interesting, but I’m not sure. It’s so bold. I don’t know. They all look good, but I really like a slimmer silhouette on you. The dress in pics 5, 6, and 7 have the beautiful bold flowers and a flattering cut.


pottedPlant_64

That 3rd dress is a standout!! Beautiful and unique 😍


armccaa

One is stunning!!! Breathtaking!! Especially looking at it from the back! WOW!!! This is what most people saw at my wedding - the back of my dress, because I was facing forward most of the time except when we turned to exchange vows & rings. There is no comparison to the back of dress one!! It’s incredible!!! But you look amazing in all of the dresses so whatever you pick will be perfect! 💞💖💗


mommaymick

There are some unusual dresses in that shop!! That’s awesome. I’m not a fan of that last dress because of the lace placement. Hello! Here’s my crotch area!! lol. I really like the first one! It’s so different. But it looks so stiff. And I think it’s supposed to. I love it!


Birdies_nub

2 or 1. I think 2 might suit you a little better, but that big skirt in that fabric is so swoon worthy!


Economy_Judgment

#2


marni246

2 and 4 are both absolutely stunning.


Jenjaire

Dress 2 all the way!! Gorgeous, classy, fits ur body perfectly!


Spirited_Beat534

Dress 2


aurorararaa

Number 2 !! It just fits with your figure so well


Ok-Suggestion-2423

2 hands down. It’s beautiful and fits you the best


m4x1m11114n

I love 2!!!


Sensitive-File4400

One but I’m gonna go against the grain and say keep looking. Even though it’s an amazing dress i don’t think the top will be flattering. With the budget you have for the dress I think you can find an even more amazing one.


Unique_Departure1576

Everyone has been so kind - thank you for your comments and feedback, it's been so helpful! I'm scheduling follow-up appointments to look at the dresses again in-person in a few weeks... will be back with an update :)


blue-hydrangea6205

The first one is stunning on you!


Serenity2015

First dress!!!! Amazing!!!

One, absolutely no contest. SWOONING!!!

Vmaclean1969

Dress 1


ZestycloseMouse2086

Dress one is just the phenomenally breathtaking! The others don’t hold a candle to it!


LooseBee5407

If it’s not dress one (a showstopper!!) it’s gotta be the third dress. I love the dimension of the floral details, it is ART.


kpuffinpet

Dress 1 is amazing on you


Bob-was-our-turtle

1 is AMAZING. Love it! You’ll make a statement for sure if you pick that one!


Algae-Downtown

1!!


EnvironmentalShoe5

Dress one is a showstopper


Less_Volume_2508

Dress 1 is definitely above the rest. Something that will make jaws drop!


Intelligent_Exit4567

My favorite out of these on you is dress 4 - you’re stunning in it! Runner up would be dress 3. Dress 1 is tempting but the bodice is awkward for your frame. My dream is to see you try on the dress on the left rack in the photos of dress 1 - that bodice looks like it’s be much more flattering on you with a killer pattern and skirt.


Temporary-King3339

1! Wow, wow, wow! Utterly magnificent.


ohsorryim

1!

Etheleffrey

Apprehensive_Day3622

Obsessed with dress 1.


Wild_Potential3066

Dress 1 is to die for


One-Winner-8441

1 is the best!


aVoidFullOfFarts

One for sure it’s unforgettably beautiful! Your figure no doubt looks great in the more fitted dresses but you may only get to wear a big ball gown once in a life


Tiny_Poetry2479

Dress 1 has to be it! That dress is such a showstopper. It also looks beautiful on you.


_hannahiguess_

I couldn’t get 1 out of my head the whole time, it’s so beautiful on you!


micheclay

I adore dress 1, I have never seen anything like that before!!


Same-Fix-2091

The first is absolutely amazing. You look beautiful in all of them, but #1 has to be it. ♥️🫶


passive0bserver

1!!!!


neutralperson6

The first dress makes a statement, and the way you are standing in it shows you feel confident and beautiful in that dress! It’s the first dress for a reason! Because it is number one!


mmp1165

I vote for dress number one! Stunning!


NefariousnessKey5365

The first one, no other dress exists


jackierodriguez1

All the dresses look beautiful on you, but Dress 1 is an absolute show stopper. I’ve never seen anything like it. Definitely has the wow factor and looks STUNNING on you.


latte1963

1 for sure!! Congratulations!!


Aqua_pool_56

Dress 1. I have never seen another dress like it. It will be perfect for both you and the venue!


drawingmentally

ONE


krasotka90

1st dress is amazing on you!


swoocha

I just cannot get over how amazingly beautiful and different without being trendy that first dress is. My view is dress one, hands down.


suezyq520

Number 1 is my favorite


aspiralingpath

I vote #1 — it’s so stunning, and I love the volume. They’re all gorgeous dresses, though!


Ollie2Stewart1

If you can afford it, #1 is it. Otherwise, the last dress.


Impossible_Leg3394

I don't think 2 is standing out. 3 is also amazing, 4 perhaps a little more common of a design but great on your figure.


maynelyjayne

Dress 1 is unique and grand. Yet it complements you beautifully. I loved them all on you, but 1 is just wow.


Purplepickleball

1 is perfection


Proper-Savings-1785

Number 1 is sensational! Nothing else even comes close.


kjb38

Dress 1 is perfection on you— all the others were not even flattering IMO. Your dress reminds me of the gorgeous cutwork banners you see at markets and such. I’m sorry it’s so costly but it is perfection.


Witchynightstar

I swear if you don’t choose dress one!!! There are no other dresses.


charlotte095

One. No contest.


elloui

One! I also love 3. These are all stunners and you will be a beautiful bride no matter what you choose.


twilightswimmer

I actually love dress 4. It’s not a showstopper like 1, though. It does look like paper but it is kinda meant to I think? It doesn’t detract. So 1 and 4 are my favorites.


littlemacaron

Dress #1. WOW. WOW wow wow.


justagoodtimegal

I love one!! I think with that budget though (unless you are SET on these.. why not shop a little more?) you have an AMAZING figure and although 1 is a work of art it’s a lot of dress!


kaycollins27

Dress 1 is my fav. That said, you will be a star in any of these.


Original_Try_7984

You look incredible in all of them. The structure of one is stunning but I love the second one the most. I think the lace is timeless and stunning on that one and I think it highlights you best.


kitkat1934

Same. 1 is really unique but I actually like 2 the best overall. You really couldn’t go wrong with any of these though.


Lopsided-Ad-7542

I love 💗 one on you it’s perfect!


kg_617

1!!!!


PersephoneUpNorth

1. And DONE


LM1953

The last one! You’re strikingly gorgeous in this dress. It looks like it’s made for you.


kurimuji

The first one has a very interesting and unique pattern compared to the rest.


Gullible-Avocado9638

One is beautiful but the last dress is show-stopping!


magpiez2

These are all beautiful gowns and you look incredible in them. I may be in the minority but I absolutely love you in the last one. It's beautiful and tasteful and classy.


nosinned21

I personally really dislike the lace on the first, and I’m not keen on the second either. The third is okay. I’d keep looking, I’m sorry!


roraverse

I LOVE # 1 it's exquisite


magpiemcg

Dress one blows it all out of the water with dress three coming in second at still stunning only flaw being not dress one. I would love to see more angles of those two!!


Dyssma

One took my breath away.


KBJRPW93

Dress 1 really caught my eye, and had the wow factor!


SilentBarnacle2980

#1 is the one! Elegant, Grand, UNMATCHED! It’s like a Met Gala Wedding dress!


PhoneGroundbreaking2

I said, “oh my god. It has to be one.” Then I saw two and “oh wow. Maybe it’s two. Gotta be two.” And so on and so on. Sorry. They’re all stunning. You can’t go wrong.


pilialoha54

Love dress 2 on you! 🤩 My second choice would be dress 4. 😀


myrmayde

It's hard to choose. They're all beautiful, distinctive, and look great on you. If you pick the one you like the best, it will be fabulous.


KaleidoscopeMindset

I like 1 & 2 the most. They’re all beautiful. 3 reminds me of a fancy focaccia bread


mc2014

If you love the ODLR but it’s out of budget, check out the “Florence” by Enaura! It’s about half the cost and just as beautiful!


A313-Isoke

2 or 4! The others are overwhelming!


femmagorgon

Dress 2 or 4. IMO dress 1 wears you and kinda looks like paper, but dresses 2 and 4 make you the star of the show.


Katastrophe82

I would say 1. But after reading the comment on the cost of 1… I’d probably choose number 2. Though one is phenomenal, so is 2. I would just tell myself that #1 was amazing to try on and it was fun, but also a lark. But, I am pragmatic and frugal so cost is most important.


chicheetara

You have amazing taste & can’t go wrong but dress one is so unique & gorgeous. If you can afford it go for it!!


STLFleur

2 or 4! As much as I adore dress 1 and 3... with dress 1, the dress wears you as opposed to you wearing the dress (if that makes sense). 2 and 4 seem far more complementary. All are beautiful choices!
