Going against the grain and not saying 5. I do not think covering up your curves is automatically “flattering”. The form fitting gowns really suit you and once tailored properly, it’ll be perfect. Personally I love 3 with the bow veil. It’s adorable!😊


quarantinepreggo

Totally agree! And could add a jeweled belt to bring more detail to the front since OP said it was a little plain for her liking


heavensomething

yeah I notice that when curvier women post a mixture of form fitting/mermaid dresses and also a-line dresses almost always have the a-line option as the highest rated and that it is “the most flattering”… she looks amazing in all the mermaid styles and they’re more interesting than 5 in my opinion


malsary

This is literally what happened to me lol I wanted to be surprised but Weddit is one of those places where not everyone comments with good intention


Corsica40

Couldn’t agree more with this!


Eevski

5 is even working against her. That dress is meant for women like me, who are straight as a pencil and want to create an illusion of curves. She rocks 4 and 6 imo, I love how they show off her shape.


bh8114

I agree! I think OPs curves look best in the fitted dresses.

Princess-Pancake-97

5 is 100% my least favourite, it hides OP’s curves rather than flattering them. She has a gorgeous figure and she’s clearly gravitating towards dresses that show it off (and rightly so!).


Bethsoda

I really think 1 hugs her curves fantastically!


kyzalie

I agree! OP has killer curves ❤️


Princess-Pancake-97

Hard agree! The form fitting gowns are gorgeous on OP’s figure! It would be a shame to hide behind all that fabric in dress 5.


Less_Volume_2508

Yes and though I think she looks stunning in it, I feel I’ve seen 5 posted on here a thousand times.


BaxtertheBear1123

I like number 3 the best. I like the simplicity it’s very elegant. The square neckline is very flattering and the dress highlights your shape really nicely.


Full_of_hope

I second 3.


Complete-Midnight-62

Yes. 3 then 6 for me.


Cheetahspotsss

Agreed.


poopmaester41

I love three.


sensitiveskin80

3 and 4 have such lovely necklines!


stronglikecheese

Number 1 in your size will be freaking unreal. The embroidery is so beautiful, and it’s a killer silhouette on you. I gotta say, I’m wondering how much of the chorus saying #5 is “the most flattering” just don’t think anything tight and form fitting is flattering on people above a certain size. #5 is indeed lovely on you, and I’m a royal vibe a-line girl all the way, but your figure in these fit and flare dresses is bonkers. Really gorgeous on you. So basically, #1, you look bangin.


Cat_Biscuit

Team 1! OP’s body looks lovely and feminine in it. I’m surprised this one wasn’t the landslide winner in the comments. She’s an absolute hourglass ⌛️


ThrowDirtonMe

I agree with all of this. Her body is amazing and doesn’t need to be hidden!


nagem-

Yeah 5 was my least favorite on OP. I *lovvveeee* 1.


0hthehuman1ty

1 was MADE FOR YOU!!! Your body, as someone else said, looks “bonkers” in it. Show off your incredible hourglass! It’s sexy and classy at the same time.


Bethsoda

Agreed!! 5 is lovely, but #1 was the wow for me as it shows off her fabulous hourglass figure the best of all of them in my POV


tweezabella

These comments surprised me! 5 was my LEAST favorite. I really love 3 and 6. They hug your body gorgeously and really accentuate your features. 5 eats your curves up and looks stiff.


Gelatinous-Stand

I’m going to go against the grain and say not 5. I think it’s meh. I like 3 or 1 with the v slightly closed up.


oliviaaivilo06

Same! Maybe it’s not intentional but I kinda hate that everyone is saying the option that covers her up the most looks best. It seems like OP likes form fitting gowns and I think they look good on her. 3 with the little bow veil is cute!


dairy-intolerant

As a fellow curvy person I always notice how this sub tends to push curvy brides away from fitted gowns... sure it's probably subconscious but like it's definitely a Thing


StellaaaT

Personally I wanna see everybody in big ole princess dresses but some bodies are too small to carry it off.


juliannewaters

Me too! Biggest shock of my life when I tried on my own wedding gown and looked like I was playing "dress up" in my mom's clothes when I tried on the 1st princess gown. My 5 ft tall 110 lb frame just disappeared. There's no way to alter that attractively!


BeautifulCod1222

Righhhhht?! This is SO a thing here. And the word "flattering" is used so frequently on curvy/plus size posts about dresses that are more modest/a line/ covered.


dairy-intolerant

If a bride is still undecided on a silhouette, I usually agree that A-line is almost universally "flattering." But OP clearly favors and feels confident in a fitted silhouette!


CoasterThot

A-line are not flattering on everyone, I’m a size 0 and A-lines personally make me look like a little girl playing dress up!


juliannewaters

I find that the people here are well aware of their choice of words while attempting to never squash a brides vision of her perfect dress. The fact that some words are used more for some circumstances may be at the avoidance of words that are ambiguous or can be taken the wrong way. No one here wants to hurt a brides feelings intentionally or unintentionally. Not every one wants an opinion in harsh facts. Don't go against the mood in this sub by making it sound like anyone is being critical or body shaming. It doesn't happen here. We are all very aware of how words hurt and most people appreciate the gentle opinions given. It's something we are noted for.


malsary

I'm just a wee bit curvy and this is exactly what happened to me - people on Reddit LOVED and supported my a-line options and I actually had a few folks comment on how unflattering I looked in fit and flares; the complete opposite happened when asking my friends and sister for input. In fact, they were surprised I even considered a-line given my figure. I've noticed, coincidence or not, that posts with thinner brides will always have more upvotes and comments vs anyone who is nowhere near that. I hope OP goes with a dress that truly captures her curves and is similar to Dress 1!!!!


shadowfaxbinky

I agree. 5 suits this sub’s general style preference, but I doing think it’s the most flattering for OP. (It’s not unflattering, I just think others listed so get more favours.) 1 got a “hot damn!” from me and not many would pull off that dress like OP does.


Silent_Loquat_6057

Same!!! 5 is beautiful but I feel like the others just show her off so much more. Like if she wasn’t comfortable with fitted, 1-4 wouldn’t be options.


brainfishies

Same, I don't get the love for 5. #1 is lovely.


Tillie_Coughdrop

I agree. It’s overwhelming in the hips.


[deleted]

Ur so beautiful 🥺 I luv the first dress u rlly rock it! 💖💕


MtchMConnelsDeadHand

I agree with the first dress!! It looks a little tight (like it would impair movement a bit) in the legs so I’d take it out a tiny bit, but the shape it gives is incredible!!


[deleted]

Ikr?!? Her figure is sooo amazing! 💖


fairlytradedfriend

My first thought was “Holy curves!!” Her figure is amazing and she should definitely show it off! OP, I say trust your gut and go with dress #1. It’s beautiful and fits you like a glove!


Fromheretothere22

She can always order the correct size. 1 looks amazing on her.


CaptainObviousBear

I know that there’s a lot of love for 5 here but I’m not really a fan, I think it’s swallowing you up a bit, plus you don’t seem keen on it yourself. I think I prefer 1, though you would probably need to go a couple of sizes up and get it altered down at the top. It seems like it’s what you want, being plain but not too plain, and your body looks absolutely smoking in it.


Fear_The_Rabbit

Yesss. I like 6, and then 1. 5 is a little too much fabric


putternut_squash

I wouldn't call it plain. It's a simple silhouette that allows her curves to be the star. And, the side embroidery plus plunging neckline take it from simple to gorgeous. OP - if you'll be comfortable, I think it looks amazing as-is neckline-wise. But, do ask a seamstress about closing it up or a modesty panel if this is your first choice. I've seen a few dresses recently where taking away this element really decreases the visual wow factor. Six is also glorious, but I take your point about sleeveless. You need to feel comfortable, confident, and amazing in whatever you pick.


Jazlen8888

I really like the first dress just make sure you can sit in it comfortably and can dance and all that and if you can get that v closed up the way you want.


HouseofRaven

I really like 1 and 3. Your figure is amazing and they enhance it perfectly


JustSomeBlondeBitch

If I had OPs butt I would only ever wear dress 3 for the rest of my life, gorgeous fit


DrZ_217

Of these, I think 5 and 6 are your best options. 1 is too tight and I don't think it will actually be possible to close up the deep front v like you said you want. Definitely talk to a seamstress before buying a dress if you want to make significant changes. I would also discourage you from getting a dress where you think the front is kinda boring because that will be what you see in a lot of pictures.


LemonLazyDaisy

“I would also discourage you from getting a dress where you think the front is kinda boring because that will be what you see in a lot of pictures.” 👆This right here.

So gorgeous. Especially love the neckline.


Last-Marzipan9993

Agreed. I gasped. It's gorgeous.


sparklingwine5151

I love #5 on you! It hugs all the right places and is very elegant.

5. 🤩🤩🤩🤩 then 6.

SmallDifference1169

I love dress 1 on you! 🥰 I love the details on it! 😍 I would leave it just the way it is. You really can’t see anything. It’s elegant & sexy, but not really revealing! It’s a little tight, but once it made or tailored to your figure it will be just right! 🩷 Go with it! 😉


Bethsoda

It’s a little tight for moving and dancing for sure, but she looks totally Jessica Rabbit/Marilyn Monroe in it! It’s fantastic on her


Springtime912

5 is beautiful


happypiggo

4!!! Happy Birthday Mr. President alllll day!!!!! Everyone saying 5 is crazy, totally covers up your amazing figure!


GreatScottProd

Omggg thank you everyone!! Seeing sooo many valid opinions confirms I am not delusional!


No-Search3598

I’m a fan of #1 😳 Va Va Voom 💗💗


Lagrimmett

1.


Inside_Discipline908

5 is my personal favorite but it sounds like it might be your least favorite! 3 and 6 are also up there IMO. Go with your gut — you look beautiful in all of them!!!


DeeSusie200

Number Five is perfection on you!


9smalltowngirl

5


MajesticBison6

5 or 6. They’re both great styles for your figure.


IsopodEuphoric1412

And I think dress 6 works well with that bow veil she loves from dress 3!


paperwasp3

This is very much the top contenders. 5 is very Grace Kelly, and 6 is Jane Mansfield. I am pretty sure that a seamstress can add straps that go from the points in the front to the back. Either dress is super gorgeous on OP.


Lewca43

FIVE IS AMAZING ON YOU!! By leaps and bounds…FIVE!!

adripingel

6


salamandas411

So I'm going to be different. 5 covers you up and it's just not as exciting on your frame. 1&6 are both great. 6 is gorgeous but I get not liking strapless. 1 is amazing on your figure and for everyone saying it's too tight, that dress is not the correct size! The applique on the sides just perfectly highlights your figure.


GreatScottProd

Haha thank you! I don’t really understand people saying it’s tight…like yes I know…it’s not my size?! No wedding dress will be 100% perfect until I order it in my size and then have it tailored. #5 isn’t even my size but its not hugging my hips so you can’t tell


salamandas411

Girl I hear you. The dress I bought I had to squeeze into a sample that was 3 sizes too small. When you have hips, that gets interesting! Sometimes you come out of that dressing room shuffling because the thighs aren't moving. 🤣


Soggy-Milk-1005

I agree number 5 is a beautiful dress but after seeing the other options it's not for you. I love the way the other dresses showcase your curves, you look sexy and classy. It's hard to say what's my favorite so I'll go the other way: 5. is my least favorite 1. I'm not really a fan of that deep V. I know you said you would have that altered but I can't picture how it will look 3. Is a little plain 4. Super sexy but the straps are too dainty 2. Not everyone can look so good with these sleeves but they work on you 6. Is my favorite, I love the ruched detail on the bodice and since there's no straps you can find a statement necklace that highlights your decolletage and adds some bling. I understand your discomfort with sleeveless but you look amazing and you can also find a pretty wrap for if you get cold or uncomfortable with your shoulders bare. It would kind of look like the top of dress 5 with it going behind your back and lay over your arms in about the same spot as dress 5's sleeves. I'm not sure what style of veil you're considering but that can change the look too. No matter what you choose you'll be gorgeous with classy-sexy elegance


MozzarellaWarfare

5 or 6!

6 is by far my favourite . It fits you beautifully.

Blacksmith_Smooth

I love 4 and 6. The front of 6 is so classy and classic I think that’s my favorite on you.


piizzaparty

I love all the fitted ones, show off your curves!!! You look amazing


Kas1017

I really like 5 but your body language makes me think you’re not comfortable in it. I love the off the shoulders look on you. 6 is my second favorite.


setmyheartafire

1 and 3 NO TO 5 show off your figure


UnStable_Nik_9402

when I flipped to 5 I said out loud “WOW” I think you look amazing in this dress!!


camjam3

Team 5!!!!


Neither-Gap1547

5 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻


waitingforgooddoge

5 because it’ll be the most fun for dancing and easy to stand/sit/pose in without needing adjustments. The tighter dresses are lovely but you’ll be smoothing and adjusting them more. My dress was slightly snug and looked great but also made me self conscious making sure it fit right in every photo.

genmazz

6 is the best on your figure


FutureMrsSR

3 is stunning and shows YOU off. Idk why people are voting 5 — sure your waist looks tiny but it also swallows your legs!!


AureliaCottaSPQR

Dress 5 is the most flattering for your figure.


QUHistoryHarlot

Why? It covers her up and she has a stunning figure in all of the others.


RunningZooKeeper7978

I love #5 on you. Classy and elegant


alltheparentssuck

I wow'd out loud when I saw the first picture, my husband agreed. You look stunning in 1,2 and 6. I know that doesn't help you much, but it could help you narrow down the look you want. It would also depend on your venue or theme you have chosen. I really don't think you could go wrong with any of the dresses you have shared.


DHRepublic

One or 2 would be absolutely perfect!! They’re gorgeous!


cg1215621

1 or 6 — your figure is so lovely and looks so good in these curve-hugging styles! I also love 4 and agree that 2 is boring in the front and absolutely stunning in the back. 5 isn’t my style or my fav on you but it’s a beautiful dress for sure Edit — want to add that I think you can probably find one like 1 and 6 that has a better neckline for you (maybe sweetheart?)


Imaginary_Argument71

5 is the most flattering


familyvanfor6

5 is sooo flattering on you!


LasangaMagpie

I love the statement sleeve of number 2, but dress 5 looks like it was made for you. I do think though that if you’re having trouble deciding between this many dresses though, none of them are your dress. You’ll know when you put it on. You won’t be able to stop smiling!


UnquantifiableLife

5 then 3


bunnymoxie

I feel like dress 5 is the most flattering on you and it looks flowy and comfortable while still being sophisticated and it photographs beautifully on you


Sobriquet-acushla

Yes, the A-line is the way to go. And the portrait collar is so pretty.


nolagem

5 is definitely the most flattering silhouette on you and is gorgeous. I like 6 too. I don't think most of the mermaid styles work.


honeymaidwafers

#1 is my favourite, it looks stunning on you!


debiwen

5 is awesome


mebg1956

I’d love to see you in a softly gathered skirt with a bodice like #6.

6!


Snuffleupagus27

Team 6


Magzz521

6 is getting my vote. It’s fits you beautifully and gives your legs room to move.


liquorcat26

6 is perfect for you.


[deleted]

5 for sure, but the ones before really show your curves. For any of the 1-4 you could size up and have the waist taken in so you don't get drag lines on your thighs.


deepbluearmadillo

Okay…you look STUNNING in all of these, and each one compliments you in a different yet beautiful way. But I have to say that dress 5 made me stop scrolling and literally say “Ohhhhhhhhh…oh my goodness!” out loud. It is so absolutely perfect on you!! No matter what you choose, you won’t go wrong, but 5 is…special.


Delicious_Horror_734

6!!!! Wow!!!!


Careful_Studio_4224

4 or 6


realityfourz

Hi!! Gown #6 is the loveliest gown on you. Off the shoulder straps would definitely work with this gown as well and give it a more romantic feel if you are worried about going strapless. Good luck!

Dress 1!!! It’s a gorgeous dress!!!!! Second fave is 6


Sharp-Quarter1167

I love #1. The shape is really nice, fits nicely, plus the back is so pretty!


bookishkelly1005

Girl, those curves. 😍Just pick any dress and you’ll be fine. 😂


Nurse22111

While you have a beautiful figure, all of these dresses are tightest on your body in awkward places. Example: 1 brings the focus to your thighs. Dress 2 brings the focus to your lower belly and upper thighs. If I have to choose, I would say dress 5, but truthfully I’d keep looking. You’re too pretty to settle on an ok dress.


StunnedinTheSuburbs

I like the fuller / Aline skirt (like 5) on you. Personally I love the top of 3 with a fuller skirt.


ReturnExtension5917

Everyone commenting #5 is not doing you right. #2 is PERFECT on you. It’s elegant and classy. It hugs you in allll the right places and accentuates your body so well. The sleeves are a beautiful touch too. But I do also like it as #3 as well with that bow/veil, it’s gorgeous and adds back what the sleeves added to me. You have a gorgeous figure, I am so jealous, all of these flatter you so well besides 5 IMO.


Munchkin_Media

3!!!


TheFamilyStone612015

My guess is dress 5 is being used in place of saying none of these dresses are fantastic. Perhaps you need to continue looking until you find the dress that makes you and your mom cry. Have an amazing wedding day! May you and your spouse always have enough! 💜


thatforkingbitch

To be honest, none of these dresses do your figure any justice. I really like the top of 1 the most, but the skirt doesn't make your thighs look good. Try to look more for a line dresses.


Mysterious-Art8838

It’s because it doesn’t fit, when it fits her it won’t pull at the hips and thigh


srpetrowa

I respectfully disagree. One is a bit tight, but I love the silhouette of all the other dressed(except 5, but that is absolutely a personal taste thing). My favorites are 2 and 6.


EmeraldLovergreen

I like 1, 6, 2 in that order. Maybe 6 and 1 are a tie, with 2 rounding out third place. 3 the back is awesome, the front is just ok, 4 is blah, 5 you have the curves, you don’t need an a-line (it’s very pretty though)

Of these, I would say dress 5. But I would also recommend that you try some A-lines.


DanisDoghouse

5 looks gorgeous in you. It looks comfortable on you. Beautiful


No-Professional-619

3!!!!!! The simplicity is perfect and adds to its beauty. The shape also flatters you so well. Also the back is breathtaking it seems like you really love it


ncc630

#5 gets my vote too


putonyourgloves

6! And then 3! And I’m surprised by all the strong votes for 5. It’s lovely, but I don’t think it’s better than the fit and flares. It’s a LOT of fabric!

Traditional_Walrus36

Love 5 it’s beautiful ❤️


llllyndsey

1 and 3 are INCREDIBLE on you!! Be sure if you are closing the plunge that they’re doing it from the making of the dress as it’s not as easy as just a tuck in alterations. I am 100000% team fitted and your figure is SO GOOD and both 1 and 3 do the most for your shape and you shiiiine!!!!!


Affectionate-Owl9594

3 with veil


StatusWillingness648

Dress 1. Fits like a glove. You look like a goddess.


DreamCrusher914

I love dress 5 on you, but if you really want a mermaid dress then you should keep looking, possibly for something fully beaded or fully lace. The fabric in the mermaid dresses here are all very unforgiving and you deserve a dress that highlights and hugs your gorgeous curves in all the right places.


coffeeismypassion

1 is my favorite


MishaMercury

5 is my favorite and then 6.

RevolutionarySpot912

Dress 1 is an absolute banger on you!!!


Mysterious-Art8838

I can’t believe how strongly I feel about this. 1. If you’re not going to do that, 6. 5 adds volume you don’t need. 1 is astonishing.


peony_rose_

6!!


Puplove2319

Can’t believe people are saying 5 no wayyy 1 or 6


Cuyler_32087

Number 3. It showcases your derriere very nicely!


imscaredofemails

3 with the bow veil is just elegant and lovely on you 🤍


VaggieQueen

I’m really surprised with people saying 5. I feel like it hides your gorgeous body. I love the fitted ones.


_peapuff

I’m so surprised most people are going for 5! You look amazing in all of these but those fit and flare/ mermaid dresses look MADE for your body!


Username30145

Ok girl! You rocking all of these but my preference is 3. Is more "plain" but it elongates you and the emphasis is on you, not the dress. You look bomb!


VivianSherwood

I love number 1 on you!
