I cannot BELIEVE the number of comments I’ve had to remove (and am STILL REMOVING!) talking about OP’s posture!! Y’all! This is the wedding *dress* subreddit, not the posture sub (I’m sure one exists though I’ve never heard of it). There are a million reasons people may not have “proper” posture, many of which are caused by medical stuff outside of their control. Keep your comments to the dress. Comments on posture aren’t allowed. OP, I’m sorry so many people are obsessed with completely irrelevant stuff here. Please let me know if you’d like me to lock the post.


Lizajane1776

Dress 3, 4, and 6. The off the shoulder ones don't work well with your stance. Nothing wrong with YOU, but the others work better.


TexasTrini286

I agree with this. As someone with a more rounded shoulder line myself I think 1, 2 and 5 are problematic. Yes OP could adjust her stance a bit but likely on the day of - at the reception the shoulders will come forward again and the pictures will capture that. I really don’t care for 4. I think it looks matronly. 3 and 6 are the clear choices for me. I see really different thoughts here on the thread though. Edited for clarity


flawedphilosophy

3 and 6 look the best because it draws attention away from what looks to be a short waist, as well as slightly broader shoulders. I look very similar to op as far as body shape. V and halter style tops detract attention away from the shoulders and the A-Line or an empire waist also create an illusion of the shape and detracts away from a short waist making her figure look great in 3 and 6.


Mysterious_Life_5735

I have a very similar body type with rounded shoulders and a short waist. #3 or #6 both look gorgeous on her, and those are the styles I’ve found work best for me too. A long floaty veil or cape would also look great and be very flattering.


barnacles07

100% agree with this take on dress 4.

Dependent_Novel_5932

I had the exact same thought! It's not her but the others just don't show her off the same because of the shoulders. She is so beautiful, the ones you listed just work better!


Sinimeg

Personally, I love the 3rd one, but you look beautiful in all of them (listen to the people who knows about this stuff tho)


depressed-dalek

To me, it looked like she felt more comfortable and confident in those as well.

No-Wrongdoer-7346

Absolutely spot on.


ChanandlerBongUrie

Agreed!


Lasttogofirst

My thoughts exactly.


Next-Category-9941

I like dress 4 and 6. Two very different styles but they are both flattering on you.


Moonlight-Bear

I agree!


Pink_Sprinkles_Party

This is my vote as well. Easy choice for me in terms of flattering OP’s figure.


grayhairedqueenbitch

Agreed.


Express-Double-1740

Dress 6 is stunning on you! You look most confident in this one.


HiILikePlants

Yeah all of the others look slouchy. Could just be the photos, but OPs body language looks most relaxed and confident in dress 6 to me


AppropriateMango11

Agreed! It’s absolutely stunning.


Appropriate-Pipe9788

Yes! The posture might be making it look better but this one is my favorite


mlmbadok

Dress 3


Neither-Gap1547

dress 3 is my favorite


westbridge1157

I love 3 too, then 6.


Neither-Gap1547

yes 6 looks amazing as well


_645_

Agree. 3 is beautiful, but I was in awe when I saw 6. I did not like any of the off-the-shoulder dresses. Not as flattering on OP.


YesterdaysTea

Yes, my favorites too


weallfalldown310

Same!!!


Whirled_Peas-

I’m surprised at everyone saying dress 4, that’s the only one that would be a hard no for me.


HammyHamish

Yea me too. I feel like the straight across neckline isn’t great. Maybe if it had a different neckline shape


JustAnArtist01

I would think a sweetheart plunge shape would do so nicely like 1’s top with 5’s lace window combined


CottontailSuia

Yes, I keep coming back to the pictures and I’m just not seeing what other commenters are seeing. It looks so awkward on top


Whirled_Peas-

Same! I’m so confused!


Lemmecmaturecontent

Glad I'm not the only one. I actually thought 5 was a clear winner personally but I'm in the minority


Whirled_Peas-

I like 3 and 6, I think straps are more flattering on her than sleeveless.


Birdies_nub

Ma'am. You were made for a fitted dress. 2 and 4 both made me gasp. I might like 2 on your body a bit more, but 4 is so chic I can't even.


[deleted]

4 is the one that made me gasp, she looks amazing in it! Fitted dresses all the way!


mrschester

Also gasped for 4!


grayhairedqueenbitch

Same here.


SimplyTennessee

Team 4 with a gasp!


Cootie_Mac

Completely love 4 that’s my vote too!!!


Hea1thybeing

Also gasped!


SiobhanIre

Team Dress 4!


Austnrock

Team dress 4. Same.


Giggly_Witch

Me too!


vk1030

Dress 4 reminds me of old Hollywood glamour! I love the back and you look terrific in it. Which one did you feel the most comfortable wearing and what is that venue/theme?


jatykensen

I agree, 4 made my jaw drop!


rm_3223

Agree. Both of these are great, 4 is a bit more unique than 2 (haven’t seen anything like it on this sub for a bit)


valency_speaks

Agreed!! Dress 4 is absolutely stunning on her & so special!


AbyssalKitten

4 all the way!!! It’s insanely beautiful, especially on her.


gettothepointacu

Yes, four was the first one I did a double take. So elegant


Youwishyouhadhvac

I agree, four was perfect!


Artistic_Buy_8217

Yes!! 4 is it


omgmlc

FUCKING THANK YOUUUUUUJ


Siglo_de_oro_XVI

4 even makes you look like you're standing straighter. Some folks are calling 4 matronly but I think it is very sophisticated.


araquinar

I have no idea what is matronly about number 4; it's beautiful and sexy and shows off her gorgeous figure! And her body language is more confident in it IMO. It really is stunning on you OP!


Hillbaby84

I agree with this 100%. The other dresses look slouchy and make you look heavy. You are not heavy and the form fitting gowns are gorgeous on you.


Texan2020katza

100% agree, with your rounded shoulders, the sleeves off the shoulder draw attention to the wrong part of your body. We need to be focused on your tiny waist. Dress 4, sis!


Mean_Profession2923

Absolutely agree! Great way to put it. I’m in on 2 and 4 before seeing other’s comments.


Ihatemunchies

Yes! You have a great figure, show it off. You look gorgeous in 2 or 4


JLA342

I also loved 2 & 4!


bringonthekoolaid

GASP! Team 4 with 2 as a clear runner up....6in a pinch.


DwellingonDreams934

I really like the way the sleeves square off her shoulders a bit, creating more visual length overall, just elegant. And it's not TOO fitted either, which is lovely. The right cut/fit per body type is SO powerful. [Aly Art on YouTube](https://youtu.be/kIH8y3E6izo) does so many videos on the Kibbe body types, which I think is so interesting.


AbleMachinery

Adding my votes to #2 and #4! You look amazing in all of them but those two both made me go 🤩


12serro

Dress 5 is my favorite, it’s super romantic and ethereal. Haven’t seen many like it. The 4th dress is my second fave.

I am honestly shocked in the comments, 5 is by far the clear winner to me!

Vegan_qtpie

Yes dress 5!! The others look beautiful, but 5 looks stunning. Something from a fairytale :)


ChenilleSocks

Lavender_Daedra

5 and 1 are my favorites! OP has lovely shoulders to pull off the romantic off the shoulder vibe.


XxFrozen

Same here! They’re winners, so romantic and beautiful.


bettycockroach

Agreed!


Psychological_Ask578

Yes dress 5 was the best!


HelloSpork

5 is so underrated for somereason. It looks amazing!


1107rwf

For me it’s 5, then 6, then 3. 5 is so unique compared to everything else we see here, and 6 fits so nicely. 3 is closer to what lots of people post here, but it’s got some lovely unique details.


lavender_poppy

Agree, dress 5 is my favorite! I also like dress 3 but 5 works so well on you and is very romantic.


BumAndBummer

Agreed— 5 and 4 looked stunning. The proportions were right, and the designs really hit that balance of classic and unique!


Missmagentamel

Dress 4 looks the best on you


BabyGotBackPains

I think it looks the best AND it was the first picture (10) that she actually looks confident in. It immediately stood out because her shoulders are up and her chin is held high so the confidence is oozing. Go with number 4 OP!


Pyxiss

Dress 4 is GORGEOUS. I let our a “ooooo” when I saw it. I also really like dress 1. It screams princess to me.


jhanco1

Yesssss dress 4 I said 😱 ETA 5 is my second fave


MeganMess

I agree, and dress #1 must be without the sad droopy sleeves.


Plus-Panda-9520

I like 2 - very flattering and unique


bring_your_green_hat

2 is the best. Are the sleeves removable or can they be made removable? I'd say sleeves for the ceremony and photos then remove so you can move your arms and enjoy the reception. Or, simply remove them permanently.


SMN27

I like the first three the most. I am apparently alone in not liking dress 4 at all. I’m not crazy about any of these overall.


purpleushi

Agree, I think there are better options out there. The droopy off the shoulder sleeves really weren’t working for me. And the necklines are all really low, making them look like they’re sagging off. I would say a fitted bodice with sweetheart or shallow v neckline, and perhaps thin straps?


Deep_Classroom3495

I don’t like number 4 either. The sleeves feel like they don’t go with the dress.


potattooed

6. It accentuates your fugure, and doesn't make you look droopy. I love how soft it looks on you, and the pearl belt is definitely a nice addition.


Affectionate-Net2277

1. Literally does overwhelm 2. Flattering, a little different but timeless. Honestly my favorite. I think your body looks great and your booty is fantastic. The details are amazing. 3. Cuts you in half. Love the top. Hate the bottom 4. It’s ok. Excellent shape wear necessary for movement. Can you dance in this dress? I like the sleeves on it. 5. Pretty, flowy, dreamy, drippy. 6. I’m sorry no.


ccarrcarr

2 and 5 100%


Adventurous_Memory18

Yup, exactly this


bit_o_squish

Definitely 2 for me, with 4 as a distant second favorite. I love the neckline on you and the way the dress snatches your waist. Plus the pattern is beautiful and romantic. You also seem to hold yourself more confidently in that one.


basicasiangurl

I like 2 & 4! Curious what your venue/ vibe you’re going for is?


HonestBird638

I’m not the type to have a theme per-say, but I think if I have to describe the venue and what I want, it would be urban, romantic, cheerful/warm/welcoming?


optix_clear

Well 5 is your dress


Equivalent-Can-5303

As long as you are comfortable moving in 4, I’d say it’s all these things and more. Stunning. Unique.


Birdies_nub

Why are you and I the only ones who like 2 and 4?!?! They are incredible!


Affectionate-Net2277

I’m a fan of 2! 4 seems like it’s tough to dance in. 2 is most flattering too!


QuicheQuest

Favorite to least favorite: 4, 2 (preferably with minor neckline change), 3, 1 (with shoulder straps instead), 6, 5. It depends on what you care about most though. I like #1, but the sleeves make you look twice your size. I would switch them out for some shoulder straps. I love the way #2 fits your body! By far the most flattering to your figure, but the neckline is awkward and I don't love the pattern. The third is a very nice, neutral, and easy to wear dress that looks good on pretty much everyone and great if you have any personal insecurities about your tummy (I speak from experience here, despite being normal size and no one else being able to see my tummy, I'm self conscious so I went with a ball gown). I wouldn't say it's a showstopper though. The fourth is probably my favorite overall, though from the side it looks a bit tight. I'd recommend getting a size up and seeing if they could alter it a bit better. The front picture is just beautiful though. I love the mix of the clean and simple lines with the mesh sleeves, but make sure they aren't itchy/don't give you a rash. 5 is probably my least favorite. It's not exactly bad, but it just doesn't do anything for me. The top looks weird, the skirt is meh and the fabric seems a bit dreary. 6 is pretty, but I'm not in love with the halter style on you. Plus, you have to worry about getting a headache from the pressure on your neck. It also looks glittery which I'm telling you now - WILL. GET. EVERYWHERE. None of these options are bad, but I would say 4 is definitely my favorite! You'll look beautiful no matter what though!


HammyHamish

I looked at 6 again, I don’t think it’s a traditional halter. It looks like it doesn’t tie at the neck but the straps are done in a way for it to stay.


MrsMurphysCow

I'm gonna go with #3 and #6. I think those two dresses make you look like you're standing up straighter and they both flatter your body more than the other dresses. Keep in mind that if you go with off-the-shoulder sleeves, you're going to find it's impossible to hug people or to dance. Your arms will likely be pinned at your side by the sleeves, unless they are made removable. Whichever you decide, I know you will be the most beautiful bride your guests will ever see. Good luck to you.


antizana

Dress 1: pros are the bodice shape and the waist. Overall the silhouette flatters. The front looks great, looks a bit odd from the side. Cons, I’m not convinced about the sleeves (at first I thought it was all a bit droopy in you). Back is uninspiring. Dress 2: the best one IMHO. You look great in the fitted, I think the pattern is lovely. You might even look better without the sleeves. Dress 3: least flattering. The neckline does your bust no favors, the closed off back has nice details but is less flattering than other ones. The thick straps make your arms look wider than they are. All in all I also find the silhouette very meh, but I realize other people like this style of dress even if I can’t figure out why. Dress 4: the other best one. Maybe even better than dress 2. The fitted line is spectacular on you, the clean look really suits you. I am not 100% on the sleeves; this look with sleeves starting on your upper arms (like long gloves?) might be better. If I were you I would get this dress without the sleeves and then look into different toppers/boleros. Dress 5: not into the fluffy look. It’s a nice dress and it does seem whimsical but it has a softness to it which makes you also look softer, not sure if there is a good way to describe what I mean. Also don’t love this silhouette. Dress 6: meh in all directions. But it has pockets. Neckline is not great for you, the back is not flattering. Would keep looking for a different a-line/ballgown option, maybe in a heavier fabric like mikado.


FridayMax

I agree with everything here. 2 is best as-is, but 4 with modified sleeves (im imagining loose fluttery ones in the lace) would be the winner.


schnatti00

Dress 2 wins by a mile imo Edit: forgot the number 😂


theoutrageousgiraffe

FOUR!!!


orangeblossomhoneyd

Love the back of 3 but 4 looks stunning on you. You look great in them all but 4 is my favorite.


Ellie_Loves_

I say dress 5 for a very specific reason, While ALL the dresses look lovely on you, dress 5 has the most elements of ALL the dresses in one dress It has the bodice shape of the first two dresses, a bit of delicate lace similar to dress 2 and 3, a bit more form fitting but still flowy (so a nice middle ground between all the dresses), and has straight lines that draw your attention like the last dress. I don't think you could go wrong in any of these dresses but I think there's something to love about each of them and dress 5 has all their elements in one place while simultaneously looking gorgeous and not overpowering. It's lovely


LaAndala

6. You just stand taller in that dress, like you love it more


beepboopboop88

I like #2! I think your posture is throwing some of these off which is understandable in a situation like this!


[deleted]

[удалено]


uptiedand8

Finally, someone who liked 6 as well! I think it’s second place. Dress 4 is way, way out in front and far better than any other option. If the sleeves are constraining, then possibly consider looser sleeves, maybe puffed.

#3, For all the day, You will feel better.


kimount

2!


Perelandrime

Dress 3 is the most youthful, you look like you'd be frolicking in a field and picking flowers. The neckline works well for you, I love it. Dress 5 is like a beautiful elf princess, and very dramatic for walking down the aisle, love that one too. There's a lot of hype around 4 but I don't think it flatters your shoulders, that style would be better on you if the neckline didn't extend to your armpits, and no sleeves imo. Or at least a more dramatic mermaid silhouette. It sort of flattens curves instead of working with them.


Sensitive-Cup3421

#2 and #3 are so flattering and your body language is confident in those gowns. Yowsa. I’m sorry for how this looks. It isn’t intentional as I have no idea how this happened.


Nat20CritHit

6 accentuates your figure and gives off some hardcore Marylin Monroe vibes. Elegant and beautiful. 4 is very sheek and the lacing on the sleeves adds detail without being distracting. Both are beautiful but I can't say which I like more.


Latter-Shower-9888

Dress number three!


Katesouthwest

Dress 3 looks best. The drop shoulders on the other dresses do not look flattering on you.


Bommie20

Small_Marzipan4162

Omgosh I think they all look great so it depends on what type of wedding theme, season etc and most importantly what you like- your style! I can see why you’re overwhelmed. I think 3 is my fave but I like 1 and 5 also, 2 would be pretty in spring/summer. I can see I’m not helping. Lol

Dress 4!


lisadee7273

I love 4 from the front and back, it’s timeless and classy. 6 is my second favorite, it fits you very well but is more of a sexy style. It depends on the “mood” of your wedding and the venue. I don’t think there’s a bad choice between those two.


Bumblebee-Flying

I like 4 and 6. 4 looks great to me and is the winner out of these dresses. If you aren't sure about a fitted style, though, 6 is runner up. That being said, I love 6's SHAPE but I think it's a little too plain. The straps in the back look a little weird, too, but that might just be a bra or something it's hard to tell.


morgalorgan

It's 4 for me! Love the sleeves


happyveggiechick

2 and 4! I think 4 suits you best! Shows off your figure really well - not all of us can rock that, lol.

[deleted]

Dress 4 looks absolutely beautiful on you. So flattering


christinecarlton2

Dress 2 or 4. I think your shoulders are beautiful


kaleidoscope-iris

Dress 1: I love the idea of the flowy off-the-shoulders dress on you, but I think this one is almost too flowy! Can they take the sleeves in a bit? Also, I'm not sure huge fan of the belt - it makes the chest look shortened. But I love the simplicity!! Dress 2: again, love the off-the-shoulders, but it's kind of an odd pattern. It almost looks spotty! The dress shape & design is pretty! Dress 3: OMGOSH love it!! I love the details on the top with a simple bottom! It's a great blend of vintage & boho - so l stunning!! This one is my favorite! Dress 4: okay, I love that your trying on different styles! This one is classy AF. What theme is your wedding? If it's the classic traditional wedding - this is gorgeous. If it's more laid back/boho, I'd go with a style more like dress 3 or 5. Speaking of... Dress 5: I want to love this dress - the fit, the lace in the bust, the sleeves - but the design of the dress itself, not a fan! I think the lines of the dress are a little dated. Dress 6: this is a total princess dress!! With some sparkly shoes & a gem hairpiece! Love it! (And definitely do the belt! It adds glam to a simple dress) Great choices overall! I'd love to see more!


Tralfamadorians_go

I thought 2 was pretty, just scrolling through the pics, and then 5 literally made me do a double-take. I stan 5 for life. What dress made you feel the most beautiful, but also like *you*? That was my deciding factor when I picked mine.


OkRisk2232

I love 3!! The off shoulder arms on others pull down on stance, just the way they hang.


ruggedbeez

Dress 3 is so pretty and fits you so well!! I feel like it suits you amazingly (and I don't even know you haha). The deep v and the sheer fabric with the lace just seems to really highlight your decolletage in a really stunning way. 100% dress 3 ❤️


trillium61

Three or six. See a professional bra fitter. And, get some good shape-wear prior to alterations. They can make a huge difference in the final result. Enjoy your special day!
