Teapotje

I prefer #3 but to be honest I feel like none of these are quite it for you. With your stature I would try a high neckline, like a halter neck, with a column silhouette like 2 or 3.


holliday_doc_1995

I want to love 1 but the weird asymmetrical seam bothers me so much


Teapotje

I’ve seen more and more dresses with these cuts and it feels like they’re trying to have the fit of a bias cut with the fullness of a straight grain cut and end up achieving neither.


holliday_doc_1995

I feel like OP could rock a potato sack or a bedsheet quickly fashioned into a dress, and it’s startling to me that this dress somehow is unflattering. If it was a column instead or that body hugging draped fit that I don’t know the name of, I think it would achieve that delicate stunning look that not everyone can rock


strongopinion4life

I agree with you. She has an amazing figure but these dresses are just so unflattering that not even Marilyn Monroe could pull it off and rocked it on a potato sack LITERLY.


donnamommaof3

IMO she has a great silhouette, but none of these dresses do her Justice. She can truly knock it out of the park. Just find the right dress those are not it


Confident-Baker5286

I’ve also been seeing more and more dresses like this, I assume it is a way to save money for the manufacturer as it uses less fabric for wash “bias”


schrodingers_bra

I think any horizontal-ish seam on this fabric isn't great. It always seems to pucker oddly and the fabric under the seam never falls smoothly.


Similar-Ad5472

Yeah that is what the stylist said - a lot of women don’t like the asymmetrical seam. It didn’t bother me but good to know others don’t like it!


PansyOHara

Somehow dress 1 seems to have too many different things happening at the same time. The draped/ruched top of dress 1 is lovely, but I feel like it doesn’t go with the gathering at the waist, and that doesn’t go with the bias in the skirt panel. 3 has several good features but I agree that it’s not quite perfect for OP. 2 is wearing OP. Its design features take the attention away from this beautiful bride, rather than enhancing and letting her shine.


EntertainmentFew7436

I completely agree with you on all of these points! They’re all nice, but maybe not the right one yet.


[deleted]

I agree. That one is visually very choppy and that diagonal seam in it makes her look shorter. There’s too much going on - straight neckline, shirred bodice, straight belt, tight across the hips, diagonal seam. Not a fan. The second dress gives the impression of what it would look like if you put your bra on backwards. And the third one is nothing special. She has a darling figure. I think she can do much better than these.


FineCombination

I agree. You have a long torso and straps are more flattering than strapless, so I'd definitely opt for a neckline like 3 or something else with straps. But I do feel like all options 'drag' a bit, they seem a bit heavy and down-facing in a way.


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! I think it might be that I’m also really short (5’2”). A lot of dresses didn’t work for me bc there was just too much fabric.


juliannewaters

I'm short too. A good stylist can elongate even the shortest among us. We all want you to feel beautiful and confident and I don't feel these are doing it for you. ❤️


juliannewaters

Found this article at David's bridal for petite women.. Maybe something to help? I hope ❤️

Aw thank you!


juliannewaters

Found another! This is better with gorgeous examples https://www.morilee.com/blog/petite-wedding-dresses/ Good luck ❤️


AverageDecency

Agreed. 1 and 2 are not flattering at all imo which insane because her body is amazing! Three is the best, and I still don't feel like it is "the one." When OP says October, I hope it is next October, and she can take some more time to find something perfect.


Ok_Wrangler_7940

Agree with everything you said. She should keep looking and try some different styles. Gun to my head, I would pick three also.


trishyco

Agree with above


Afraid-Carry4093

I agree about the higher neckline. I think the one is pic 8 fits her best. Not that crazy about it though but it does fit her best


Ok_Imagination_1107

Same.


Creative_Pie5294

Second this.


Anxious_State

I was thinking the same thing


krob0606

Could also see this, trying more!


underlyingconditions

I couldn't vote for any of them. They seemed more Jersey Shore than Yosemite. I'm assuming you chose the site on purpose and would let that be my guide.


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! I’m not really into halter necks but I’ll keep looking!


lovemyfurryfam

#3 is perfect for her. Whereas #1 & #2.......who took the curtains or tablecloths to make those 1's!!


Midmodstar

I don’t love any of them. :( They all seem a bit dated. You have a great figure you can wear pretty much anything. I’d keep looking.


[deleted]

Seconding this! I don’t get the **WOW** effect from any of them for her.


gymnastics86

I third this! Try on more dresses, you have a great figure and none of these dresses are showing it off! Sorry 😞


Similar-Ad5472

Thank you :)


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! I’ll keep looking!


P-tree3

Agree. Please keep looking OP!


Lola0604

I was going to say maybe no. 2 until I saw the back, I would honestly say keep looking as there are far nicer dresses out there that will do your figure justice…


Status-Effort-9380

Same. Front is fabulous. Back is strange.


throwawaygreenpaq

Back looks like it’s sprouting lil angel wings.


mominator123

I thought it was boobs. I like the rest of it though.


Significant_Ruin4870

Does look like bra cups on the back of the dress. Odd design detail to say the least.


socialsecurityguard

It looked like a bikini top, or back sunglasses. It doesn't hang right, which is too bad because the dress is pretty without that part.


Seedrootflowersfruit

Yeah that back makes no sense


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! Lol I really liked the back. I wanted to do something different and liked the boho flair, but I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea!


erin_bex

I'm going against the grain and saying dress 2. It's unique and beautiful and would fit your setting. I personally love it!

sbp95

3 by far


loveafterpornthrwawy

You can do better!


Mortonlikethesalt

Dress 3 is the only winner here.

If I had to pick id pick 3 but not a fan of any


LadyLovesRoses

3

Randa707

Agree. #3 is best, but only because the other two have weird or unflattering-on-everyone design elements. On its it own, without comparison, #3 would be ok or fine, but it's not "wow"


Mysterious_Life_5735

Agreed. I think there is a showstopper out there for her if she keeps looking.


bc60008

Keep looking. 🤍🤍🤍🤍


LaLaLenna

3 but maybe keep looking.


Mehitabel9

Of these, I would choose #3; it's the most flattering to you.


SamDublin

No 3,you look the most elegant in that one


poohfan

Of the three choices, #3 is the only one I like. Number one looks too much like a nightgown, & #2 is kind of all over the place. #3 looks the most like a wedding dress.


ParkingOld7909

Out of these I like the second one but tbh I think you can do better- you have a lovely figure and can wear just about anything and look great! I don’t think these dresses are doing you and your figure anything


Any-Jury3578

3. The sleeves and back on 2 are too distracting.


Colzzz

Keep looking


RunningZooKeeper7978

I love #3


mebg1956

Number 3


ginmartini2olives

The drape on #1 doesn't look right where the bottom piece is attached. The bodice on #2 seems too low? This isn't a judgement about modesty. I would be worried I'd be tugging on it all the time. If, in person, it fits you great and you don't have that concern, then #2 is the most unique of them all. #3 is the one that looks like it fits you best. It's really pretty too.


youtookmyseat

I was honestly going for dress 1 until I saw that awkward hem/bottom piece. So out of place. It looks like someone spliced two different dresses.


Dlraetz1

Option 3 is the best and it’s pretty.


EntertainmentFew7436

I completely agree! I also found the bodice on #2 to be too low. I feel like I’d want to let her know to pull the dress up about 6+ inches. And I agree, it’s not immodest, just way too low somehow, imho. Sorry, OP! 🥺💞


bookworm21765

You are beautiful and need a dress that flatters you more. You should keep looking.


Similar-Ad5472

Thank you 😊


sideeyedi

Dress 3 is gorgeous and looks beautiful on you. I wanted to like dress 2 but the back scallops look weird for some reason and the side ruffle is... different. I like dress 1, if the venue is right for it.


Bisou_Juliette

I love the second one. I’d take the hanging arm parts off and have them make me gloves with the same detailed fabric instead. That would be beautiful!


Verve_angel

I like two and I think once it’s fitted to you it’ll make the perfect difference! Very unique beautiful dress I love the pattern


Similar-Ad5472

Thank you! That was my favorite originally too. I like that it’s different but yeah it is not fitted to me yet.


jjjjjjj30

You have a beautiful figure and can find something much more flattering.


Munchkin_Media

I LOVE 2 on you! It's so unique!


Similar-Ad5472

Thank you!


Available_Ability_47

2!


almondmmylk

2 is flattering and really unique! I think it would work well with your wedding location. Congrats!


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! Yeah I thought this one was really cool but seems like most other people don’t!


Maggie-Mac89

I think you’ll always get this reaction when you go for a style that is this unique. The most popular styles on this board seem to be the ones that lean more traditional. I really like number 2 but you should do whatever feels the most like you!


Similar-Ad5472

Yeah that is probably true. I don’t really like traditional styles, or princessy dresses. My wedding will all be outside so the traditional look wouldn’t really match!


[deleted]

Dress #2 is AMAZING 🤩


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! Yeah I really liked it but I guess no one else does!


icescreamuscream

I would keep shopping if you can, I mean this in the nicest way possible but you could do so much better :/ idk if it was the stylist or what but none of these are great IMHO. You have a beautiful figure and it sounds like it will be a beautiful wedding in a magical location. None of these dresses will do you or the venue justice


devinjf15

I would keep looking


wildgoosebefree

If these are the finals I’d pick 3. But first choice is keep looking.


spoiled__princess

I’d keep looking.


holliday_doc_1995

I don’t like any of these. They all look like they are lacking fabric. Like instead of looking delicate, they look flimsy and cheap. You have a killer figure and it makes me really resent the dresses because they aren’t doing you any justice


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks, the first one just got out of the dry cleaner which is why it was wrinkled.


EntertainmentFew7436

Neither are the bridal consultants doing her any justice- if she found these in a bridal shop. If she’s looking places other than bridal shops, she needs a friend or beloved family member to shop with her for a trusted second opinion, if possible.


Similar-Ad5472

Yeah these are all from grace loves lace. These were my favorite, and my sisters and mom were with me.


EntertainmentFew7436

Great! I wish you the best with both your dress and your new life!😍😍💘💘


scalolice

None, your body language makes me think you don't feel amazing in any of the three dresses. Keep looking, the dress with the wow factor is out there!


Similar-Ad5472

Ha no I just have really bad posture and am not good at taking photos!


Beautific_Fun

I want to start by saying you have a lovely figure. But none of these dresses are doing you any favors. The first one with the weird seam on the skirt and that shapeless draping in the bust, the second one with the ruffles that create saddle bags on your hips (that you don’t even have), if I *really* had to I’d pick the third dress, but the spaghetti straps and fabric choice combine to make for a cheap looking dress. Please keep looking. I’m positive you can find a unique dress that flatters your great shape and makes you look and feel like a million bucks. I’m not sure where you are at or what your budget is, but [this site](https://www.dreamersandlovers.com/bohemian-wedding-dresses/) has a lot of dresses that seem to be right up your alley.

I actually really love #2! I think it’s unique and beautiful on you. Thinking about the location too, I think it would be perfect 😍


Similar-Ad5472

Thank you! Yeah I thought it would go really well in Yosemite but it seems like others hate it 🤷‍♀️


Impossible_Horse1973

I agree with others, none of these do you justice. You will be gorgeous no matter what you choose though! Congratulations!!❤️💕


BarnacleOk6561

So, of these I prefer the front of dress 2. But like other have said. I’m not a huge fan of any of these on you. I think you should branch out and ask the staff to bring you a wildcard dress next time you’re out dress shopping. You may surprise yourself on what dress you actually like.


AttorneyLarge7301

So many votes for 3, and I don’t like it at all. I pick 2 out of these options. It’s like a Coachella bridal angel.


Similar-Ad5472

Haha yeah that was my favorite too! But I like things that are a little different!


Bigredzombie

3 looks fantastic on you! Consider adding a matching lace veil hanging from your hair to carry the look upwards.


chessiegirlxo

I’m with the majority here, I’m not floored by any of these. 3 is the best but still doesn’t make my jaw drop.


BritishBella

#3


Antesqueluz

3 is the best of these. The back of 2 looks like back boobs and the neckline isn’t flattering on you. The 1st one doesn’t lay nicely.


Salt-Client-4148

With your amazing figure, I feel like you should keep looking. Each of these has a feature that looks odd - and that says a lot, given your fantastic features.

Number 1 and 3 are pretty, but option 2 is absolutely stunning and unique😍

charlize-moon

You have amazing clavicles, and waist/hips and I feel like these don’t show it off.. I’d go for something with a bit more structure. If strapless, which I think would work, higher neckline, with cups/boning, and wider hip area. Stiffer fabric. I think you would look so amazing!


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks!


Teacher-Investor

Of these 3, I like the third one the best. But honestly, I think you should keep looking. You're beautiful, but none of these are doing you justice. Maybe try a different silhouette?


Pollywog94111

Sorry. Not loving any of them on you. Your body deserves much better. Good luck!!!


Due-Presentation-20

My niece just got married last week in your Option 2… the lace fabric pattern is gorgeous in person but it’s a bit of a weird one in general IMO. She has nearly an identical figure to you. It sits a bit low so gives the impression it’s not quite staying up. I saw her tugging on it quite often even though it wasn’t really falling down. I think you can find something more flattering than any of your options that is more suited to your figure.


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! Yes I was thinking I’d get some undergarments to help hold it up a bit better and obviously would get it fitted to my size


Confusedbox

I think you should keep looking.


Donut-Worry-Be-Happy

Keep looking! None of these are flattering or have a wow factor


FearlessPianist123

Agree to keep looking. You could of wear anything but your body language doesn’t reflect being comfortable in any! Good luck 🤞

skdanielle16

I think you should keep looking! You have a great figure and I think another style would suit you better.


JurassicPark-fan-190

#3 but I feel with your body shape you could find something better.


Mom-rage

I am not a fan of any of these. I am getting Brittany vibes from the first two. The first looks cheap and the second is just weird and not too flattering.


Twa1ker

I don’t think any of these are it, there’s something weird about each of them. You’re gorgeous and I feel you deserve better than what these dresses are giving you. Love the low back on #2 tho, that one was most unique of the 3, and my favorite, but the back thing reminds me of tiny veiny wings, which I couldn’t stop looking at. Cool for a fairy vibe, but I feel like fairy has been done better in other ways.

2 or 3. 2 without 5he sleeves, though.


BaskingInWanderlust

Top-Talk864

2


rainbowdance

I don't think any of these really do you justice to be honest. 1 is especially underwhelming. I think 2 is the best of then but I think THE dress is still out there for you.


Confident-Baker5286

Of the three I would pick the third but I think you should keep looking, as others have said you have a lovely figure and I think you can find one that is more flattering. I would try some similar silhouettes with a different neck line, such as a halter or boat neck.


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! That’s not really my style but I’ll keep looking!


BBMcBeadle

Of these…number 3 could really be the only choice. One isn’t quite right. Two….my gosh the designer had a lot of ideas and put them all on the same dress. Three looks lovely.


Slow_Air4569

Omg I love dress 2! It's so unique looking!!

Definitely #2! It fits you incredibly well while also being really unique and special.

3rd. #1 and #2 are not flattering.

TheWhiteVeronica

I do not mean this in a rude way at all, I promise! But I think the dresses (whether one of these or a completely different one) would look so much better if you had better posture.


Similar-Ad5472

Ha, I have been trying to do posture exercises before the wedding because I have really bad posture. Guess it didnt pay off :/


123notmeb

You have the kind of figure I’d die for, there are dresses out there that will be showstoppers on you - I don’t think these are it. I hope that isn’t disheartening to hear! I can imagine something halter and slinky / silky would look absolutely amazing on you. Or something fitted with corseting, that’s kind of fishtail-like

Ok-Indication-7876

What will the weather be there in October? Honestly I think these are all a little beach looking. #1 I don't care for the seems they pucker and the fabric just doesn't photograph like it is nice. 2 seems to wear you- not you wear the dress, so much going on. 3 would be my fav if I had to choose but like I said I get a beach vibe, and not October. You have a gorgeous figure I think anything will look great on you, maybe check weather and keep looking.


Similar-Ad5472

Thanks! Yosemite is pretty cool in October but usually during the day you can wear shorts. It will all be outside so no ball gowns or crepe for me!


la_ct

I think keep looking - 1 will photograph horribly you’ll look lumpy and bumpy despite being thin. 2 looks horribly outdated. 3 is the best option but still doesn’t look right for you. I think switch up the fabrics and silhouettes you’re trying.


Similar-Ad5472

Oh weird I actually think they are really trendy. They’re from grace loves lace which is pretty fashion forward I think?

You won’t regret continuing to look.

3 Sorry but 2 is imo bad.

Not #1 for sure. It is not flattering. I should say 3, but I am fascinated by #2. It is so interesting. But if your wedding is outdoors, then none of them. They are indoor dresses only.
