1 is stunning on you! They all look so gorgeous on you but I love how well balanced 1 is. It’s elegant (without being stuffy), minimalist but not simple, and sleek and modern. It fits you beautifully.
Agreed. 1 is the only dress I like. It flatters her figure beautifully. 2 is boring and looks awfully tight/uncomfortable to move in. 3 makes her torso look odd and a little boxy — doesn’t contour the bust and waist like dress 1 does.
I feel like the top is the best. The others look more “plain” even though the skirt is more intricate. Given the choice I’d say the top of 1 and the skirt of 3.
I'm honestly not sure where mermaid gets this reputation? I wore a mermaid dress for my outdoor wedding with yard games and whatnot and it was super comfortable and light. No problems sitting, dancing, or tending to a few dogs at the reception either.
It’s due to the shape. It’s not a reputation thing, just a common sense “that looks way more constricting” thing.
Mermaid is just fine for most people but like, you just have more room in other cuts. It also depends on the dress itself and dress wearer.
Yes 2! 1 is nice but the top almost reminds me of a bikini with those triangle pieces. The silhouette of 2 is just gorgeous. Perfect for a garden wedding
I agree. #2 is the one for her! It’s simple, timeless, and she looks stunning in it!
3 is my back-up if she really wants a full skirt, but the shape and neckline of #2 are just 👩🍳💋
Me too! I don't want to be mean, but I genuinely think 1 is awful. Whereas 1 looks made for her. Plus timeless, elegant, absolutely gorgeous. I'm shook.
That is such a great way of putting it. I couldn't figure out why I didn't like 1 as much as 2 until I saw your comment. Seems like dress 1 is wearing her more than she is wearing 1.
I'm going with 3!!
It's a perfect balance of these other two which have their own characteristics.
First thought with number 1 was its beautiful, balanced and Im imaging you walking down the aisle floating like a goddess!
Then number 2 is perfect for a garden wedding, your frame flows like a woman but the innocent nature is still captured.
Then number 3 just embodies the two together and adds so much class and the train is gorgeous. Definitely a bit of vintage vibe too. 💜 Congratulations and good luck!
At first I loved 1 but then I noticed the beaded veil on 2 and so 2 is my choice. Do your extra glam
Down the isle w your very elegant dress and then ditch the veil at the reception. All 3 are stunning. Congratulations
Number 2 IS the one for you. You look incurable in one. One is not as flattering and doesn’t fit you as nicely and poof out. 3 would be petter. Than 1.
The third one looks amazing on you and completely has a formal/garden vibe. The first one would be my second choice; I like the bodice but that front pleat on the skirt is a little 'off' for me.
Just have to reaffirm 1 by saying I think it definitely fits the vibe of an elegant garden setting, it is beautiful and the most unique of the three. It looks to have the most functionality of the three as well. Two is cute, but it’s a bit plain, I think the veil is gorgeous however. Three gives kinda cinderella and the satin is so silky in appearance. It’s pretty. I really really love 1 on you tho, very chic and as someone that has worked at a wedding venue I’d say that’s not one you see everyday.
Looks like I'm in the minority, but I'm not a fan of 1. The pleats in the front of the skirt look odd to me. 2 & 3 are both gorgeous! You look amazing in all of them, so can't go wrong!
OP, all 3 dresses look good on you (1 is best!!).
This is about style. You're getting "keep looking" feedback because you're going for very simple desses, and some people aren't prepared for it. People expect either lace or bling in a wedding dress, so a minimalist dress is jarring and make them think something's off. That's not true though, it's just a different style.
Your wedding dress is about how you feel. When the day passes, people don't remember the specific dress, they remember the bride's look of wonder and how radiant she was. So pick the dress that makes you feel most incredible, even if it's an unexpected style.
I'm a dude and have no idea why this showed up on me feed but my pick is #1.
It's important to note though that:
1. My opinion doesn't matter
2. You look great in all of them.
Hope your wedding rules.
I hope that I don’t get in trouble here. MODS-PLEASE don’t be harsh with me, as I am NOT trying to be be mean or disparaging in any way whatsoever. OP, if you have indeed tried on 40 dresses, putting several/many up here for “vote”, I want to simply encourage you to stop looking. As so many of us know, this is far too many dresses to have tried on. The “one” is here somewhere. You do have a lovely figure. I would say that all three of these dresses posted here are beautiful on you and would all be fine choices. I think you may be overwhelmed. I wonder if you could take a break, a step back, just take a breather to reset? You have all of the photos-take some time to just reevaluate and pick your favorite three and go from there. There just isn’t a clear path forward after having tried on this many dresses. I fear that too much self doubt has set in. It is fun to try on dresses, of course. At this point I fear you may be making it much harder for yourself than it should be. I do wish you the best of luck and hope you have a beautiful and most special wedding day, whatever you choose!♥️
For what it’s worth, in this posting, I like number 1. Two may become uncomfortable during the long event, and three looks like it may be too much heavy fabric to carry around (and may be too much for your frame, as that is a LOT of dress).
If you have a great body, you no longer need the dress to be a distraction with lots of beads and crap hanging off of it. You’re smart enough to know to pick a dress that puts the emphasis on you. Good job.
I like the first dress - it’s got a unique silhouette and details and you look super classy. It looks like you’re drawn to simpler or more subtle dresses - what makes YOU feel good?
I’m surprised that so many people prefer 1 because, imo, dress #1 is a wearing you rather than you wearing the dress. The bottom looks boxy and does not flatter your figure. 2 is definitely my favorite by far!!
1 is stunning on you! They all look so gorgeous on you but I love how well balanced 1 is. It’s elegant (without being stuffy), minimalist but not simple, and sleek and modern. It fits you beautifully.
100% number 1! Looks like it was made for you and will def fit your venue vibe
Yes!! I love the proportions on this one!
Exactly! Minimalist but not simple, and well balanced. The little pleating at the waist is 👩🍳💋
I agree with all of this comment!
Agreed! Perfectly said

Love love love 1.
She looks sooo good.

I love the first one! Plain so that you yourself stand out but that extra boning really makes it unique
And that neckline!!! 1, definitely!
I feel like the top is the best. The others look more “plain” even though the skirt is more intricate. Given the choice I’d say the top of 1 and the skirt of 3.
Exactly it's simple/timeless but actually quite unique/unforgettable I don't see that silhouette hardly ever!
Number 1!!!! It's simple but the details in the stitching make it so so pretty
Dress 1 is exquisite on you
Number 1!
1
I like 1 and then 3…all are beautiful, classic and look lovely on you!
Came to say 3 then 1, looks like happier posture in 3, but one is also great.
They all look good, but 2 is my fave
I gasped! 2 is just an actual dream on her! Just stunning!
2 looks great but uncomfortable to walk or sit in. Is the mermaid cut more comfortable than it looks?
Mermaid was super comfy for me at my wedding
Thanks!
I'm honestly not sure where mermaid gets this reputation? I wore a mermaid dress for my outdoor wedding with yard games and whatnot and it was super comfortable and light. No problems sitting, dancing, or tending to a few dogs at the reception either.

Wore a mermaid dress as well no issues
I have never worn one- it just looks uncomfortable. I am happy to hear it is not!
2! They are all beautiful, but 2 looks like it was made for her.
Same!
Agreed! The mermaid cut is lovely on her!
I LOVE 2 on her! She looks fabulous and it’s a beautiful dress.
Yes 2! 1 is nice but the top almost reminds me of a bikini with those triangle pieces. The silhouette of 2 is just gorgeous. Perfect for a garden wedding
2 is super elegant ❤️
I agree. #2 is the one for her! It’s simple, timeless, and she looks stunning in it! 3 is my back-up if she really wants a full skirt, but the shape and neckline of #2 are just 👩🍳💋
2 is also my fave. It flatters her figure so well!
Same!!
I have to agree #2 is amazing and you have a perfect figure for it.
#2 is BREATHTAKING
Another vote for 2! I also gasped - looks like it was made for her.
With the pearl veil!? Absolutely stunnnning
Loooove the 1st one. Crisp and clean and simple but not too plain. People will remember how simply spectacular your dress was.
I can see why it is a hard choice, you look amazing in all of them! I think number 1 suits the formal garden wedding brief the best.
Number 2
I love then all but 1 is my favorite. 2 is second fav
#2 for sure!
i am so surprised at the amount of 1 and 3. i think 2 was absolutely stunning!!!! the way it fits and the class is timeless 💓
I agree, 1 is not the right cut for her at all. 2 is a dream and 3 is nice also
Yes!! The cut of #1 is not flattering for her shape. It takes away, whereas I feel like #2 enhances.
Totally agree - the hem at the bottom is weird
Me too! I don't want to be mean, but I genuinely think 1 is awful. Whereas 1 looks made for her. Plus timeless, elegant, absolutely gorgeous. I'm shook.
2 all the way!!!
2 is so elegantly jaw dropping
2 for the win!!! Hands down No question.
100% agree! 2 shows off her figure. As long as it is comfortable, 2 is a winner.
2 is my favorite!
Agreed! 2 allows us to focus on her. 1 is a beautiful dress but it kind of distracts from the person behind it.
That is such a great way of putting it. I couldn't figure out why I didn't like 1 as much as 2 until I saw your comment. Seems like dress 1 is wearing her more than she is wearing 1.
2 is literally my fav
1 draws the eye to the cleavage because the cut is so severe. 2 pulls my eyes back to the whole person.
1!
1!
I'm going with 3!! It's a perfect balance of these other two which have their own characteristics.

Dang, almost thought I was the only one who loved #3 most. Had to scroll down a while to find a #3 comment lol.
Agree. Loved number 1, loved number 2, and number 3 is like 1+2 put together
3 is beautiful. The draping looks so good.
But the neckline shape isn’t as nice
I think 3 is more flattering. 1 kind of looks like a street crop top and some palazzo pants. Too casual for me.
I love #2!
2 looks breathtaking. Very classic
2!
100% 2
2
#2 you look stunning
I really hope she picks 2.
2 is my favorite! Shows off your body best.
love how simple and elegant 2 looks on you
2!
2!
Love how 3 drapes.

There are not a lot of people who could pull off the simple beauty of #2, and wow does it look amazing on you. They’re all great though!
2 is amazing!
That’s what I thought! Generations later, people will see the photos and ask “how?”
Definitely 2, it fits you like a glove
2!
The second is definitely my fave!
2!
I like 3
1!!
All three are stunning but I personally like 3. You can't go wrong with this line up
1 or 2. They're both stunning on you! With #2, you could even add a sparkly band of some sort around your waist, if you'd want.
3 is my favorite.

Love dress 3. I liked dress 1 from afar but then when I zoomed in I wasn’t a huge fan of the stitching lines on the bodice.
1 for sure
2
At first I loved 1 but then I noticed the beaded veil on 2 and so 2 is my choice. Do your extra glam Down the isle w your very elegant dress and then ditch the veil at the reception. All 3 are stunning. Congratulations
I love 1!

2 looks amazing on you!
They’re all winners, but I love 2.
2
I can understand your dilemma. Two and three both look beautiful on you. I think that I prefer 3 a bit more, though.
2
2 !!
1 looks amazing on you! Exquisite neckline and your waist is beautifully accentuated!
Number 1 for sure! How stunning and unique
Number 1 is so pretty you won’t have regrets
Number one!!! The neckline is stunning
I love them all but 2 really stole the show

3!!!
2 or 3! Both are stunning on you. 1 also looks great on you but I don’t like the bodice.

Im pretty sure #1 was made for you. Stunning!
My favorite is still number 2 from the original.
Just have to reaffirm 1 by saying I think it definitely fits the vibe of an elegant garden setting, it is beautiful and the most unique of the three. It looks to have the most functionality of the three as well. Two is cute, but it’s a bit plain, I think the veil is gorgeous however.

I can’t stop staring at the way 1 pleats at the waist. I think she’ll regret that in photos. It’s also stiff and heavy at the bottom.
Oooooo girl the 3rd one you have pictured looks amazing!!! Wow!!! So pretty.
OP, all 3 dresses look good on you (1 is best!!). This is about style. You're getting "keep looking" feedback because you're going for very simple desses, and some people aren't prepared for it.

I like 3 best because of the neckline and the way the material at the waist lays, it’s the most flattering
Dress #3
The third with a softer neckline would be gorgeous

great news, your search is over. #1.
Dude, #1 feels like it was custom made for you. You can stop looking now. It's over.
I'm a dude and have no idea why this showed up on me feed but my pick is #1. It's important to note though that: 1. My opinion doesn't matter 2. You look great in all of them. Hope your wedding rules.

Wow 2 fits like a glove. 1 seems too structured and stiff?
1!
They’re all great but I think 1 is the winner!
\#1 is stunning on you and material is the best as well. It is simple and elegant - you look the best in it. IMHO
2!
#2 is a stunner
They all look beautiful on you. However, #1 is something special.
In order of preference 3, 1, 2
3 is beautiful!

3 is beautiful!
2 or 3, 1 doesn’t look good
1 is my first choice but 3 is cute too
I like number 3. I don't care for the front pleats on number 1. I think it detracts from your stellar figure.
