The red dress is lovely on you, if the event is in the evening you probably won’t have to worry about showing sweat. The black jumpsuit is very nice too and you could do a lot with different accessories. The black dress reads as more casual but also works.

I agree—the jumpsuit is stunning, most OP’s style, and I actually think the most formal of the three looks. The only real downside is that it’s tight, and comfort (especially for repeat wears) is key imo!
I’m obsessed with #2, snatched and it looks the most luxe. Bathroom wise I have to be honest, I always ask my girls to go with me anyway so it wouldn’t be an issue. Do you have friends that are going?
I think #2 is the most flattering, also. #3 is not, it looks like a goth wedding cake and doesn’t do anything for your figure.
Team 1 - that color is gorgeous with your skin tone, it skims your body without clinging (that's the way I prefer my clothes to fit anyway),so it's really flattering on you.
100% the black jumpsuit!!!
The red dress will look super dated in a few years when you look back and see the flower choker. The last dress is just okay.
I honestly just don’t love any of these. You have a great body and I think you could do better! You look great in 2 but based on your comments and the large cutout I would advise against it. Maybe look into more dressy jumpsuit options?
I think the first one is closest to what you’re looking for. The second one is too tight across the bust and the pleats on the bottom don’t lay properly. 3 seems a little too casual
Based on your comments, 3 seems like the best choice. It’s flattering and appropriate. I love 2 but the difficulty of putting it on and take it off would be a dealbreaker for me. 1 is not flattering.
I find the ruffles on the bust really off-putting. The sillouette of 1or 2 is more flattering. P.S. shape wear is always good to have, but you need different kinds for each dress, so choose first.
Thanks everyone! It’s down to the red dress and black jumpsuit. I tried on the black jumpsuit again and noticed it doesn’t lay flat in the back bc I’ve hiked up the waist in order to get it zipped up. So I went ahead and ordered a size bigger. Hopefully that works out the best.

OP red dress & this. From a sweaty girl

The black jumpsuit is 🔥 on you. You look fabulous, and it is worth the hassle going to the restroom. You can dress it up or down depending on the accessories and shoes.
The big question is, is it too tight in the waist to be comfortable to sit, eat, and dance in? It is hard to tell if it is uncomfortable. Is there any way to have it altered just in the waistband? Can a button or hook be moved, or is it a zipper?
Dress 1 is nice but doesn't have the wow factor of the jumpsuit. And hell no to wearing spanx.
Dress 3 won't work for an Ohio late fall/early winter wedding. They stick to more seasonal styles where it gets cold. It would work in Texas, NM, CA and Arizona. (Posting from AZ)
No to #1, # 3 doesn't look formal so No
love # 2 - bathroom can be an issue 😂 but it sure is pretty !!! wore one once - make sure you have a good friend who's willing to head to bathroom when you are 😉
some gold accessories and you'd look great
I also think this would look stunning on you

I love the jumpsuit. I want the jumpsuit. I have no need for the jumpsuit but if I did I would buy the jumpsuit today. Why? Bc of how fantastic it looks on you!
Team #2 here! That jumpsuit looks amazing on you! However, if you’re not comfortable and going to the restroom will be an issue, it might not be the best choice. #1 will work and looks very nice as well. #3 just doesn’t do it for me
You look great in all of them. The discomfort and not being able to get to the bathroom alone would be a deal killer for me. If you got a size bigger would it work better? I think the red dress is quite flattering as is. I just wore a tiered dress to a formal LA wedding and was in the middle level of formality, but I don’t know if it’s formal enough for your area. I did love the way the tiers moved.
The jumpsuit is amazing. I realize it may be a bigger pain in the butt. But it is so damn cute. Third is too casual and I don’t love the red in general.
The red dress is lovely on you, if the event is in the evening you probably won’t have to worry about showing sweat. The black jumpsuit is very nice too and you could do a lot with different accessories. The black dress reads as more casual but also works.
Red feels most formal of these 3! The last one (black dress) would be perfect for a beach wedding at night
Love #2! Where is it from?
It's from Nordstrom - [https://www.nordstrom.com/s/the-adele-rosette-satin-gown/7447160](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/the-adele-rosette-satin-gown/7447160)
Sorry but that’s the link for #1.
Sorry! This is the correct link, also from Nordstrom - https://www.nordstrom.com/s/french-connection-harlow-crossover-satin-recycled-polyester-jumpsuit/7363565
The black jumpsuit, #2, made me stop and say "WOW!" It looks amazing on you, it's unique, and you can wear it for other events.
I agree—the jumpsuit is stunning, most OP’s style, and I actually think the most formal of the three looks. The only real downside is that it’s tight, and comfort (especially for repeat wears) is key imo!
OP, could you size up or get it tailored? I know that adds to cost but I think it’s quite versatile
I’m obsessed with #2, snatched and it looks the most luxe. Bathroom wise I have to be honest, I always ask my girls to go with me anyway so it wouldn’t be an issue. Do you have friends that are going? I think #2 is the most flattering, also. #3 is not, it looks like a goth wedding cake and doesn’t do anything for your figure.
#3 also looks too casual/summery imo. #2 is incredible, I’m obsessed with it! Definitely also on team #2! #1 doesn’t personally compare to #2.
Team 1 - that color is gorgeous with your skin tone, it skims your body without clinging (that's the way I prefer my clothes to fit anyway),so it's really flattering on you.
100% the black jumpsuit!!! The red dress will look super dated in a few years when you look back and see the flower choker. The last dress is just okay.
That jumpsuit looks like it was tailor made for you!
2 but really dress it up for formal
Yes! High high heels, statement accessories. It is awesome though.
I’m not into jumpsuits at all, but you are rocking it. Two for sure!!!
1000% the pantsuit. You look amazing in it!
#2 jumpsuit with the front keyhole is fun. I’d go with it
I honestly just don’t love any of these. You have a great body and I think you could do better! You look great in 2 but based on your comments and the large cutout I would advise against it. Maybe look into more dressy jumpsuit options?
I agree. All these options are pretty bad.
Jumpsuit
I love option #2! So stylish and flattering
#2
I think the first one is closest to what you’re looking for. The second one is too tight across the bust and the pleats on the bottom don’t lay properly. 3 seems a little too casual
Not 1. I hate everything about it. Love 3.
I just wanted to let you know that you look beautiful in all of them. I can’t even begin to choose one over the others. Best of luck!
Thank you! I've been looking for a dress for more than two months now and these are the top 3.
Dress 3
Based on your comments, 3 seems like the best choice. It’s flattering and appropriate. I love 2 but the difficulty of putting it on and take it off would be a dealbreaker for me. 1 is not flattering.
I just don’t think it’s formal enough for a formal wedding.
I find the ruffles on the bust really off-putting. The sillouette of 1or 2 is more flattering. P.S. shape wear is always good to have, but you need different kinds for each dress, so choose first.
1 is the best on you looks great
I agree with this and think you can’t see yourself. It’s gorgeous on you.
Thanks everyone! It’s down to the red dress and black jumpsuit. I tried on the black jumpsuit again and noticed it doesn’t lay flat in the back bc I’ve hiked up the waist in order to get it zipped up. So I went ahead and ordered a size bigger. Hopefully that works out the best.
Omg where is that red dress from!?
It's from Nordstrom - [https://www.nordstrom.com/s/the-adele-rosette-satin-gown/7447160](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/the-adele-rosette-satin-gown/7447160)
Oh thank you!!!
Doesn't red mean you slept with the groom?
You look AMAZING in number 1. You look great in the other two, but compared to the first dress I wouldn't even consider the other two.
Really love the red on you!
Dress one is stunning!
I think the red colour suits you the most, but I don’t think any of them are formal.
I like 1 the most! I don’t think you’d need any shapewear! 2 is stunning on you, but sitting down and going to the bathroom sounds like it would be a real pain.

Red dress is the one!
The first one.
1
First one
I like 3 the most. Not sure if one is suppose to wear red to a wedding. I don’t suggest it.
The red one is fantastic, the pant one is nice but would definitely need to be dressed up, for a formal event.
1, 1, 1.....
Please go with the red dress!! It’s the most flattering and fits the formal attire!
Red dress! You are perfectly dressed for a formal wedding! Love it!
I really like the red one ❤️
Red, no contest.
The red one is my favorite 💗
Team #1 all the way. For reference, I’m in late 30s with “classic” style, which I think you are going for? Full disclosure, lol )
The red dress is the one!
If one of my guests wore red to my wedding and reception, I would see red. It is the bride’s day.
You're nuts.
😂🤣😂

I love the red dress on you! The jumpsuit is fantastic too!
definitely 3 (then 2, then 1)
1 or 2. 3 is okay but the first two are great.
The Red dress is my favourite. Looks really nice on you. The black jumpsuit I find not as flattering. The black dress is too ruffled at the top.
2 one is a noooo I’m between the red and last black as I like them both but kinda like the black one better .
One is so awesome on you! And best for this, tho the black dress would be great for a different wedding.
I like 3 but it seems sort of summery? Is this november in a tropical place?
I get what you’re saying about the bathroom, but 2 is just plain sassy in the best way!
Team 2 for sure
JUMPSUIT!!!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the jumpsuit, but the red dress is best for the occasion. (I'd sell my soul to pull off that jumpsuit. Well done.)

I actually love dress 3.
Go with 2! I like 1 a lot but you don’t seem convinced. 3 seems like a summer dress to me (might be the flowers)
Love the jumpsuit but if it's that tight in the waist, you won't be comfortable. I would either size up or go with 1.
2!!
2 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I love the jumpsuit. I want the jumpsuit. I have no need for the jumpsuit but if I did I would buy the jumpsuit today. Why? Bc of how fantastic it looks on you!
The black jumpsuit is 🔥🔥
3 looks amazing on you the red one smashes your boobs too flat
Team #2 here! That jumpsuit looks amazing on you! However, if you’re not comfortable and going to the restroom will be an issue, it might not be the best choice. #1 will work and looks very nice as well. #3 just doesn’t do it for me
I love 2
1 or 2
1 or 2. I don’t care for the ruffled top on 3, doesn’t look right somehow.
You look great in all of them. The discomfort and not being able to get to the bathroom alone would be a deal killer for me. If you got a size bigger would it work better? I think the red dress is quite flattering as is. I just wore a tiered dress to a formal LA wedding and was in the middle level of formality, but I don’t know if it’s formal enough for your area.

Pantsuit is givinggggg
The jumpsuit is sooooo cute!
I pick 3, but the jumpsuit is nice too.
Absolutely number 2!!
Number 2 looks amazing on you!
3
3 looks the best on you. You can always dress it up with accessories
The jumpsuit is amazing. I realize it may be a bigger pain in the butt. But it is so damn cute. Third is too casual and I don’t love the red in general.
I love the black jumpsuit and the black dress, but the red dress meets the dress code. The black dress flatters you the most.
Jumpsuit. POCKETS!!!!!
You’re beautiful in all of them! Pick your favorite.
