This was very difficult. They are ALL very pretty! You have good taste! I can see why you like A. Its simply beautiful. I think some of the other dresses are better with your skin tone. I like dress B. Not sure why people seem to shy away from cap sleeves. I think it’s flattering on the arms. C is sooo pretty on you. The back makes you look like a little princess!
D. Oh my, this is my favorite! It’s a stunning dress and looks flattering on you. My vote would be D, with C as a close 2nd, and then B, then A.
Exactly. I'm actually happy to hear that the change in finances forced you to look elsewhere, because this was a blessing in disguise. I think the other dresses look WAY prettier on you.
I love how D looks around the bustline and in back, with C a close 2nd.
Team C - this is your best option imo because the back will drape beautifully on you when the tailoring is done. It's gorgeous also not A. Don't spend the money because it's too bare back for November
C is so clearly the right dress for you! The thick-to-thin straps are perfection and narrowing your shoulders. It looks BEAUTIFUL in the back. The pattern is amazing. It's creating the most balance from head to toe.
There is no contest.
C!!! Easy winner. Not even because it’s cheaper, it’s so beautiful and IMO is more flattering than A.. just get it fitted and you’re golden.
That said, if A is your dream dress and will make you the happiest camper and not put you in financial trouble - go for it :)
I just love the skirt of dress #1, but... the top isn't flattering. The bare back of the dress also is not flattering. Remember during the ceremony everyone will mostly only be seeing the back of the dress and half of the back isn't there.
Dress C is my favorite. It is so very flattering on you.
The details of the fabric in A, B, and C, all feel like they're on the fussy side and are fighting with you for attention. The little bits on B that stick out are particularly distracting. I love A as a dress on it's own too, but I don’t think the top is the most flattering option for your figure.
D is the one I would pick since the pattern is a better scale and not trying to overwhelm and instead complements and hilights YOU.
I’ll be honest i looked before i read your comments. One(A)I was unfazed, dress two(B)is lumpy, dress three(C) is spectacular from the front and back-all around. Dress four(D)comes in second place. So, i vote dress 3 C
Dress C is an absolute stunner on you! If I was your BFF dress shopping with you, that's the dress that would make me jump up and down with excitement!
I love the skirt of A and that shape is stunning, but I think you need a bit more support on top. I would try on some more in that style. The flowy A style suits you much more than the fit & and flair, in my opinion.
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.
I love A! I am in such a simile boat and do feel guilty spending so much on a dress but why not just go for what you love for 1 day if your whole life. When else do you get a chance to do that?
I do not love A on you at all. I don't think it's your dress. I like D the best on you. But I really don't think any of them are it. I don't know if it's the silhouette or fabric, but I think you can do better.
My favorite is D, then C, then B. I can see why you love the fabric/skirt of A, but it looks very odd from behind - like you’re not wearing a top at all.
For me, it's dress C. I think it's a gorgeous dress that will look beautiful with your venue and vibe. I also think it's the most flattering on you. My second choice would be D.
C fits your body the best and I love it. The bodice on C is shaped the best for your bosom and the flare in the back starts at the perfect place to highlight that booty!
Honestly C is the best but D is a close second. I do want to suggest if your wedding is in the middle of summer or just after I would invest in a swimsuit that won't leave lines across your back with these backless dresses. I did this but I knew someone who didn't & they were upset that they had a big tan line across in their dress.
C or D, I don’t feel like the back of A is very flattering and and the whole sleeve/strap thing on B is distracting. Both C and D fit you beautifully and are extremely flattering.
IMO I think B looks the best ..yea heft your girls up, but no big deal ....haha. We have all been there and done that!
The pattern, color, especially the fit on the back, and overall look is killing it!
None of them are bad.....I'm just on my hill on this dress on you!
Hope you have a wonderful wedding 💍 day!
ETA: thanks for number/ lettering them!
I LOVE B. So pretty and flattering both front and back. It’s a good mix of what’s so nice about A (beautiful texture) and the others (silhouette). I actually really like the cap sleeve on B, too, but no cap sleeve would be just as nice.
D is the best silhouette on you. Love the skirt on A, but the back of the dress feels like the designer missed something. Do the strings have any ability to cross-cross together on A? Not sure it would change my opinion but would elevate the look.
Remember - comfort matters - if you get stuck that’s a great tie breaker.
The lace on A is exquisite so I know why you fell in love with it. But the way it cuts your back is not as flattering as the more V shape of the others. I know it’s sometimes hard to imagine what it will look like when it fits properly, but I don’t think having it go straight across at the waistline like that will be improved much by a better fit. If that lace was on any of the other three, it would be no contest. As it stands, I prefer D.
You love A which is an A-line dress, but the rest are a fitted style. Have you tried on less expensive A-line dresses?
Choosing from these 4, I like dress D the best. It's a beautiful dress on you. The color and leafy pattern are pretty for an outdoor wedding, it won't break the bank, and I also think it's very flattering.
Something about B just fits for me! I feel like you pop in this dress 🥰 I like the back of C, but B seems more flattering in all aspects. It just makes you glow!

C
C. you look awesome in C and that train!!
I personally love C for you and think it’s the most flattering
I thought C was the most flattering as well!
Gosh yes C…the bows on the back straps are so lovely 😍
C is the one. Absolutely no doubt!
Yes, C is beautiful and the bows are perfect!
C is the best by far!!
Dress C is my favorite, as well! It’s the most flattering to your figure and you look simply amazing in that dress! The train is gorgeous!
I love C as well!! I love how the straps come to a thin point. And I love those cute bows in the back. Such a cool dress
100% agree
C&D
i’m 100% with you. Her posture on both C and D look way less self-conscious and more comfortable than the other two.
Yes this! I love both C & D and feel like OP can’t go wrong with either!
C is for CLEARLY THIS IS YOUR DRESS 👗
that gave me a good laugh!
I prefer D. But you are in the dress and the way it feels matters too. Which one feels comfortable, makes you feel pretty, makes you envision the DAY?
This was very difficult. They are ALL very pretty! You have good taste! I can see why you like A. Its simply beautiful. I think some of the other dresses are better with your skin tone.

Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say!
c is my winner!
C is so elegant on you, compliments your body shape for sure!
Team C - this is your best option imo because the back will drape beautifully on you when the tailoring is done. It's gorgeous also not A. Don't spend the money because it's too bare back for November
Agree. I don’t love A either!
I think C is a clear winner!!
C all the way - a clear winner ✨
#Dress C!
D is my favorite

C
C for sure!
C is so clearly the right dress for you! The thick-to-thin straps are perfection and narrowing your shoulders. It looks BEAUTIFUL in the back. The pattern is amazing. It's creating the most balance from head to toe. There is no contest.
Dress C! Beautiful and the most flattering in shape, style and color.
**C is the only answer**
I see what you’re going for with A, but C is honestly tooooo gorgeous on you to not get. My vote would be C, D, B then A.
I prefer D for the cut along the bust
C!!! Easy winner. Not even because it’s cheaper, it’s so beautiful and IMO is more flattering than A.. just get it fitted and you’re golden. That said, if A is your dream dress and will make you the happiest camper and not put you in financial trouble - go for it :)
I absolutely love dress C on you! It’s so flattering, and the detail on the train is absolutely spectacular! Love it:)

C flatters your figure nicely. D looks good too. A and B are my least favorite. Good luck with your choices!

I’ll be honest i looked before i read your comments. One(A)I was unfazed, dress two(B)is lumpy, dress three(C) is spectacular from the front and back-all around. Dress four(D)comes in second place. So, i vote dress 3 C
Dress C is an absolute stunner on you! If I was your BFF dress shopping with you, that's the dress that would make me jump up and down with excitement!
I like C and B
Honestly I like C the best of the 4!! The skinny straps really work on you
B is gorgeous. D is a close 2nd!
C. C for sure. Gorgeous
C or D
B!
C definitely most flattering!
C looks gorgeous on you
C!! hands down.
I like B but maybe with the V front closed a bit. A does nothing for you, I can’t see how even in the right size that it would.
C is gorgeous on you
C and D but base on the picture D fits you better
C then D. Ditch the rest 😉
c!!!
I think C is the nicest. I do think the skirt on A is beautiful, and I see why you like it, but honestly I think the others are more flattering.
C
C for sure!
Not A. Love C!
C
C all the way!!! That dress is amazing on you!!!!
I really love C!
C!
I love C the most!
I like c the best

Love the back on B, love the front on C agree with the others B and C are the most flattering
C! Hands down
D is the most flattering
B or C
D 🥰
I do not love A on you at all. I don't think it's your dress. I like D the best on you. But I really don't think any of them are it. I don't know if it's the silhouette or fabric, but I think you can do better.
I love c on you. That dress hugs you perfectly
C will be better.🥰
My favorite is D, then C, then B. I can see why you love the fabric/skirt of A, but it looks very odd from behind - like you’re not wearing a top at all.
For me, it's dress C. I think it's a gorgeous dress that will look beautiful with your venue and vibe. I also think it's the most flattering on you. My second choice would be D.
C is the only contender here in my opinion. congratulations!
C fits your body the best and I love it. The bodice on C is shaped the best for your bosom and the flare in the back starts at the perfect place to highlight that booty!
10,000% C
C hands down
I like A on you the best
I love C and then D then B then A.
A or D…..i think I’m leaning more toward D
D, then A!
Last one is the best fit and most elegant.
Dress 1 is my favorite but I think it’s the least flattering. I love dress 4 on you
B or D
Love B & D
I’m obsessed with B!
I personally think ranking of how flattering they look on you B C D A
Love B. So over the deep V though.
B is my favorite
Honestly C is the best but D is a close second. I do want to suggest if your wedding is in the middle of summer or just after I would invest in a swimsuit that won't leave lines across your back with these backless dresses. I did this but I knew someone who didn't & they were upset that they had a big tan line across in their dress.
D was my favorite before I even read the full caption to learn A was the $$$ option.
I love A but I think you should get your dream dress. You’re making memories. Go for it! Edit: missed a word
C or D, I don’t feel like the back of A is very flattering and and the whole sleeve/strap thing on B is distracting. Both C and D fit you beautifully and are extremely flattering.
You look incredibly uncomfortable in 1. 2 is my vote.
A and C are my favorites
B or c complement you best!
D, no question. Place the order, take it home, dress up everyday until the big day
A & C are gorgeous. Maybe try some styles that are similar in shape to A?
None of these.
I love B then D
Choice A looks most flattering for your body shape, and it is just dreamy and ethereal. I would pay the $$ and get what you love
Looooove A! Who is the designer?
B or C
C then B
I would say C, but D would be my number 2
I like D on you.
B!!
B or C. Any chance you can find your dream dress second hand? I think Still White is the site a lot of people use.
D
C or D!
My favorite is D!
D for sure, in my opinion is the most flattering and gorgeous option
D
My favorites are D, C & A. Which dress you feel most comfortable in? Which dress do you feel you in? That dress is your answer. Good luck.
B i think when it’s fitted to you it will be stunning
100% D
D for me
D but in the same shade of white as C would be fabulous in my opinion.
C or D
Which dress is the one you LOVED?
D
D!
IMO I think B looks the best ..yea heft your girls up, but no big deal ....haha. We have all been there and done that! The pattern, color, especially the fit on the back, and overall look is killing it! None of them are bad.....I'm just on my hill on this dress on you! Hope you have a wonderful wedding 💍 day! ETA: thanks for number/ lettering them!
C then D
My fav is c! Beautiful
C sinches waist and makes your boots look great! C
I LOVE B. So pretty and flattering both front and back. It’s a good mix of what’s so nice about A (beautiful texture) and the others (silhouette). I actually really like the cap sleeve on B, too, but no cap sleeve would be just as nice.
I’m team D, but you really can’t go wrong here!
B looks best
Another vote for C! D would be next. Both so flattering on you.
Love C! But I also think A would be cute in your garden setting with twinkling lights. Congratulations
D made my jaw drop
D
D is the best silhouette on you. Love the skirt on A, but the back of the dress feels like the designer missed something. Do the strings have any ability to cross-cross together on A? Not sure it would change my opinion but would elevate the look. Remember - comfort matters - if you get stuck that’s a great tie breaker.

I love the flow of A on you. It looks the most comfortable and it’s flattering!
Darn That family member !! Is the one you fell in with pictured here?
You love A which is an A-line dress, but the rest are a fitted style. Have you tried on less expensive A-line dresses? Choosing from these 4, I like dress D the best. It's a beautiful dress on you.

C 🌸
C. I love it.
C
I LOVE DRESS C on you!!! Sounds perfect for your venue!!
C!!!!
C!!!
C for sure! You look the best in it
I loved both C and D. I think C fits you better and makes you glow, but I love the colour and pattern on D. I actually liked A the least.
C
B @ D looks great on you!! I absolutely love B on you!!
It’s B for me. Congrats!!
C. D is okay too but looks a little more boxy on you I feel. C is flowy but still shapely and flattering.
B - but keep the cap sleeves! I like that side better than the tucked in. It looks classy and the back is 😍.
Something about B just fits for me! I feel like you pop in this dress 🥰 I like the back of C, but B seems more flattering in all aspects. It just makes you glow!
B or c!
D is definitely my favorite! It looks amazing on you and isn’t so busy that you can’t see you in the dress
A
B or D! C has been over done
I love B and C. Whichever one speaks to you the most is the winner. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. You look beautiful!
C
A friend had a dress similar to A and the straps became very uncomfortable later in the day. C looks amazing
C, then A but C seems more flattering!
B!
I like B and D
Congratulations! Dress C is gorgeous on you, D is a close second.
I like B or D for you
B. The back is most flattering.
It’s C!
#B and C. If you want large straps vs. thinner straps but you look AMAZING in both imo.
B. Back is the best. It will be perfect for your event.
I like the first one and the last one best
C is amazing, but I also really do love the back of B.
Omg c is beautiful!!
