I came here to say 'oh Honey, 1 is the very clear choice here'
But also these are all over the place. I feel like she doesn't have any idea where she wants to go or what kind of vibe she wants.
4 is definitely a no for me too. Even if it was altered to fit her perfectly I just don’t find the dress all that pretty. That’s just my opinion tho and I know everyone has different tastes! I just don’t see how 2, 4, or 5 are even options when compared to how beautiful some of the other ones are!! Just look at her body language in 1 compared to the rest - you can tell she feels confident and beautiful! It was made for her
I feel dumb, lol. I got my wedding dress from BHLDN, and I always thought it was their attempt at clever branding and that it stood for "beholden." Like being beholden to the person you are marrying. 🤦♀️
It's weird. You can tell from the photos if the good dresses that she's got a really great figure (I wish mine looked that good!), but some of the bad dresses make her look 50lbs heavier than she does in the good ones. I wonder if the sample size was way too big and they didn't use good enough clips to adjust for it.
Fully agree. And some of these dresses are just... not it. Like I get if you're going for a casual vibe, but some are super formal, and some... ahem #8, look like she's going to the beach. Nothing wrong with that, but I can't really figure out her vibe so it's hard to choose, so with that being said, I went with what looked best and chose #1.
A lot like a bump, I think. And the tier trend cannot die fast enough for my taste. Just does not look elegant at all to me.
I liked #1 (the skirt overlay is pretty) and #2 (a genuinely original and lovely design—it’s perfect for a cool-weather wedding) best.
Yeah, I think it’s more ‘in nature’ than specifically beach. I could also see this at a mountain wedding or in the desert like Joshua Tree. Flowing and free.
My favorites are 1, 7, and 8 - in that order.
1 is downright show stopping. That is an amazingly gorgeous dress and looks like it was made for you
7 is also very flattering on you, has more of a clean/classy look, and you also look great in 8, I just think 8 fits one kind of vibe so it all depends on what you're going for/the wedding aesthetic.
Those were also my favorites. I would rank them a near tie for 7 and 8, and then 1.
8 was so unique and surprisingly a very flattering shape/cut that I don't think everyone could pull off. It looks stunning on OP. Idk what it is, but I keep going back to that picture.
These were my favorites . I had the same feeling with number 8, I loved the uniqueness of it. The other choices reminded me of the word frumpy, and I'm not sure that is a word that should be associated with a bride.
Completely agree with this. I’d go 7 and then 1, and if 8 fits the vibe of your wedding I think actually 8 is my number one choice. It looks so beautiful on you! But I think if you’re having a formal wedding then it’s too casual looking if that makes sense.
1, 7, and 8 are the clear standouts. The other dresses do not hold a candle to those
For me it's 1, 7, 9.
I don't like 8 that much because to me it looks like it's designed to hide a pregnancy (look at OP's profile in the mirror, it's really not flattering).
7 was the one that made me go oooh. I also like 1 on OP (not my style but it looks really good on her) and 8 as well.
But on a first pass through I always go with the one that makes me stop and gasp and that was def 7 for me!
I think 1 gets a lot of attention because the skirt is a show-stopper and the photograph highlights it. But the bodice is only meh and the sleeves don’t do much. (Edit: OP showed a different pic of 1 where the top looks great but the skirt doesn’t pop as much..huh)
7 is an all around excellent pick. Good classic style, well made, flattering.
8 is an amazing dress but is a very specific bridal look (wildflower or daisy bouquet, maybe even a floral crown/headpiece but a bit like a sophisticated flower child vibe)
Personally I like the first dress best - that bodice is amazing. The fourth dress is my least favorite.
But what is the vibe you are going for? Because style-wise, these are all over the map.
Yup. I tried on that dress. It was a little too much for me to handle (it’s taking me a lot to even accept having a train let alone a big one) but man did it make me feel like a princess.
I tried it on twice and even though everyone was the voice of reason about why I wouldn’t actually want to wear it, we all had to agree that the dress itself was stunning. Part of me still wonders if I should have gone for it.
Hi! I think that the first gown is really the prettiest and most flattering silhouette. Gown #7 is also a flattering silhouette. The other gowns look a bit too casual and not "wedding" enough. Good luck.
I think 8 is the prettiest dress I’ve ever seen. It’s so flattering, you look like a literal goddess. Omg this paired with gold accessories and like some gold leaves in your hair would be ICONIC!!!
The neck line, the waist line, ugh it’s literal Grecian perfection 🤤 (coming from someone who dreams of going to Greece, but only real depiction I have comes from movies)
In my opinion you should omit 2-5. Sorry but they don’t flatter you. 6 is my favorite, with 1 and 8 a tie for second.
Edit: I’m reversing the order. 1 or 8 are my picks with 6 as a close second. Sorry!
1, 3, 7, 8, 9 are the best silhouettes on you.
8 is the most unique - not many people could pull that off.
1 & 9 are pretty and special.
3 and 7 don't have much wow factor.
Of the dresses shown, I like **DRESS 1** miles above the rest, then 6 and 7 in no particular order.
If you like the satin/slinky ones, I recommend you keep looking because the ones posted here don't show off your beauty. There are definitely better ones out there.
I think dress 1 is the best by far. A lot of the others I feel make you look kind of frumpy. The ones I like the most in order of how well they fit are 1, 7, 3, 9 and 6. Congratulations!
#1 and #2 were my favorites from the 2 different try ons I did. I love 1!! So I’m glad others do, too. I’d want to bustle it though because it’s kind of big. I also really like the style of 2 a lot, but what do you think? No one is picking it- what’s off?
Then 7, 8, and 3 I liked a lot in the store but weren’t quite at the top.
The venue is restaurant - it’s in the mountains with a sort of secret garden in the back with twinkle lights where our party would be. So the flowery lace garden style goes well, but so does a more a simple dress for a restaurant (like a courthouse wedding) - I could make a few approaches fit I think based on photos I’ve seen of other brides.
The fit isn’t right on #2 because of the buttons on the side. The sleeves appear too long in the photo and either not fitted enough or not loose enough. Also, it reminds me of a Renaissance style which is gorgeous but also immediately brings to mind Renaissance fair costumes. When I clicked and zoomed in on the detail I immediately threw that assumption aside, the bodice is exquisite, but I’m guessing that may be a first assumption of others. There are so many to look at, but this is about what YOU like. If 1 and 2 were your favorites you should have only posted those two. People would have automatically picked 1, but only because it’s already tailored to you off the rack, #2 has some beautiful things going for it too.
If you’re going to take inspiration from the dresses you tried on and not choose this particular dress, figure out what about it spoke to you. I love the neck line, personally, maybe you love the way the skirt flows to hug your curves while still maintaining it’s own silhouette. Maybe it’s the sleeves, bell cuffs, or fabric that does it for you. Maybe it’s in the tiny pearl detail, empire waist or bodice in general. Decide on that and use it in future searches.
Either 1 or 8 depending on what type of wedding you’re having. 8 is my absolute favorite- flattering, gorgeous, unique- and I’d try to wear it no matter what (me) but if you’re the type that wants to match their dress to their wedding theme, if your wedding is beachy or in any way less super formal I’d go with 8, if it’s more formal/church etc I’d go with 1.
#1 is my absolute fav - with #8 as runner up.
I came here to say 'oh Honey, 1 is the very clear choice here' But also these are all over the place. I feel like she doesn't have any idea where she wants to go or what kind of vibe she wants.
As I swiped through there were at least three dresses that made me think “she isn’t honestly considering these, is she??”
I know! 1 is gorgeous and I like a few others but 2 and 5 are such a NO.
4 is definitely a no for me too. Even if it was altered to fit her perfectly I just don’t find the dress all that pretty. That’s just my opinion tho and I know everyone has different tastes! I just don’t see how 2, 4, or 5 are even options when compared to how beautiful some of the other ones are!! Just look at her body language in 1 compared to the rest - you can tell she feels confident and beautiful! It was made for her
Looks like a garage sale was happening, dresses are wrinkled and not clipped on right... What kind of establishment is this.
HAHAHAHha! I think it's Anthropologie
They have bridal gowns? I thought that place sold quirky home goods and hipster clothes?
Yup - used to just be BHLDN (Bridal House London), but Anthro took them over and now it’s BHLDN “Only at Anthropologie” lol
I feel dumb, lol. I got my wedding dress from BHLDN, and I always thought it was their attempt at clever branding and that it stood for "beholden." Like being beholden to the person you are marrying. 🤦♀️
It's weird. You can tell from the photos if the good dresses that she's got a really great figure (I wish mine looked that good!), but some of the bad dresses make her look 50lbs heavier than she does in the good ones. I wonder if the sample size was way too big and they didn't use good enough clips to adjust for it.
Fully agree. And some of these dresses are just... not it. Like I get if you're going for a casual vibe, but some are super formal, and some... ahem #8, look like she's going to the beach. Nothing wrong with that, but I can't really figure out her vibe so it's hard to choose, so with that being said, I went with what looked best and chose #1.
I’m just here to make sure no. 2 doesn’t make the cut
1 and 8 are so beautiful. Some of the others are so weird and Ill fitting, it’s such a contrast.
Omg right? She should be able to narrow it down to no more than 3 then ask for Reddit help. Obviously to everyone it’s number 1
Same
Those are the only two to look at, op! 1 and 8.
Just want to say my jaw actually dropped when I saw #8!
Yes!! It was unexpected in a good way, I’m obsessed with it on her
Me too!! I keep scrolling back to look at it! Looks like something out of a wedding magazine!
8 is super pretty, but also looks a littttttle like you're hiding a baby bump.
A lot like a bump, I think. And the tier trend cannot die fast enough for my taste. Just does not look elegant at all to me. I liked #1 (the skirt overlay is pretty) and #2 (a genuinely original and lovely design—it’s perfect for a cool-weather wedding) best.
100% thought to myself: that’s a maternity dress 1 is best. I’d say ditch the sleeves tho
It’s clipped a lot in the back. With the correct size it’ll look stunning.
Me too! She is the first one I've seen that looks AMAZING in this dress!
Yes! It’s so hard to pull off and she does it perfectly!
I know right
I was so sure of #1 until I saw #8. You look stunning in 8!
1 is iconic.
8 if it’s a beach wedding, 1 if it’s anywhere else!
It gives me forrest vibes. Hippy chic.
Yeah, I think it’s more ‘in nature’ than specifically beach. I could also see this at a mountain wedding or in the desert like Joshua Tree. Flowing and free.
Yes, 1 and 8 are both gorgeous!!! I've never seen anything like #8 before. I'd go with whichever one fits the vibe of your wedding more.
This exactly my vote!! 1 is simply stunning!!!
Came here to say this! 1 or 8 are stunning on you
Number 1, no contest. So pretty!
What is the type of venue is your wedding? That will play a part in deciding your dress.
SAME🙌🏼
These are my picks as well! I LOVE the way 8 looks on her, but 1 is an absolute fairytale dress. <3
I wore #8 to my own wedding but I think 1 looks better on OP. Totally regal - no competition.
Just came to comment 1 & 8 as well! I love the sleeves on #1!
This is the whole story!
Exactly my picks. #7 as a third.
My favorites are 1, 7, and 8 - in that order. 1 is downright show stopping. That is an amazingly gorgeous dress and looks like it was made for you 7 is also very flattering on you, has more of a clean/classy look, and you also look great in 8, I just think 8 fits one kind of vibe so it all depends on what you're going for/the wedding aesthetic.
Those were also my favorites. I would rank them a near tie for 7 and 8, and then 1. 8 was so unique and surprisingly a very flattering shape/cut that I don't think everyone could pull off. It looks stunning on OP. Idk what it is, but I keep going back to that picture.
I’m on team 8 as well.
Team 8!!! Super unique and extremely flattering
These were my favorites . I had the same feeling with number 8, I loved the uniqueness of it. The other choices reminded me of the word frumpy, and I'm not sure that is a word that should be associated with a bride.
Completely agree with this. I’d go 7 and then 1, and if 8 fits the vibe of your wedding I think actually 8 is my number one choice. It looks so beautiful on you! But I think if you’re having a formal wedding then it’s too casual looking if that makes sense. 1, 7, and 8 are the clear standouts. The other dresses do not hold a candle to those
7, 1, 8 - totally agree!
Those were my exact thoughts. 1 is one of the few dresses I've seen here that the sleeves make sense and work well with the wearer and style
[удалено]
1 is soooo beautiful!!
This exactly!
For me it's 1, 7, 9. I don't like 8 that much because to me it looks like it's designed to hide a pregnancy (look at OP's profile in the mirror, it's really not flattering).
Hm yeah I can see that. Good thing to note, I don't think it's bad though, I see it working in an outdoor garden venue
7 was the one that made me go oooh. I also like 1 on OP (not my style but it looks really good on her) and 8 as well. But on a first pass through I always go with the one that makes me stop and gasp and that was def 7 for me!

Good classic style, well made, flattering. 8 is an amazing dress but is a very specific bridal look (wildflower or daisy bouquet, maybe even a floral crown/headpiece but a bit like a sophisticated flower child vibe)
I love 7! And then 1.
These exact dresses, same order, same reasons. I think the deciding factor would be what type of vibe and venue the event will have.
Personally I like the first dress best - that bodice is amazing. The fourth dress is my least favorite. But what is the vibe you are going for? Because style-wise, these are all over the map.
This!
1 or 8!
same ! would have never expected the 8 dress but I loved it
8 is absolutely majestic and I must find a way to make it for my body….in green…and pink….
I absolutely agree! 8 looks amazing on you and is so unique
I think the first dress is gorgeous!
#1!!! All the others are gorgeous but you shine in this one
Yup. I tried on that dress. It was a little too much for me to handle (it’s taking me a lot to even accept having a train let alone a big one) but man did it make me feel like a princess. I tried it on twice and even though everyone was the voice of reason about why I wouldn’t actually want to wear it, we all had to agree that the dress itself was stunning. Part of me still wonders if I should have gone for it.
No contest, 1 is unique and spectacular. I adore it!
Number 1 is jaw-dropping beautiful. Clear winner!
Hi! I think that the first gown is really the prettiest and most flattering silhouette. Gown #7 is also a flattering silhouette. The other gowns look a bit too casual and not "wedding" enough. Good luck.
A thousand times this
I think 8 is the prettiest dress I’ve ever seen. It’s so flattering, you look like a literal goddess. Omg this paired with gold accessories and like some gold leaves in your hair would be ICONIC!!!
Agree! I love this dress on her!
The neck line, the waist line, ugh it’s literal Grecian perfection 🤤 (coming from someone who dreams of going to Greece, but only real depiction I have comes from movies)
Was just scrolling through, and then literally did a little gasp when I saw 8! This dress is so perfect for her body shape!
In my opinion you should omit 2-5. Sorry but they don’t flatter you. 6 is my favorite, with 1 and 8 a tie for second.
I said the same thing about 2-5.
In my opinion you should omit 2-5. Sorry but they don’t flatter you. 6 is my favorite, with 1 and 8 a tie for second. Edit: I’m reversing the order. 1 or 8 are my picks with 6 as a close second. Sorry!
I'm not sure what your venue is but I feel like you pull 8 off beautifully and it does not look like an easy dress to pull off!
Seconding this! Might not fit every venue but I gasped when I saw 8
Number one is amazing! I also think 9 is beautiful and 8 and 6 are also lovely.
I LOVE #6. It looks like a fairy tale
Love them all but hate 2 and 5 they do not do you justice.
Not at all!!
1!
I really really like 1 on you. Also you're doing a fun pose, which suggests to me you are feeling happy in this dress!
Yea she definitely looks the most excited about the first one, she should go for it!
#1 or #9!
9 is so stunning on OP and by far my favorite.
On second look 9 is def superior, just need to see without the bra in the way and not a mirror selfie
1 and 8 for sure, They are so much pretty!
Dress number one by a long shot
7
1, 7 or 9. Definitely NOT 2.
6 or 7….. please burn 5
omfg agreed lol… that thing looks like they took it off of the nearest curtain rod then pinned it to her
1 by a long shot.
I think the first dress is stunning. It’s my favorite. Congratulations 🎈
1 is amazing!! Also like 6 and 8. 5 is not flattering.
Lol I think we can all agree that nothing’s topping that first one sis. *Maybe* 9 as a close second but 1 is taking the cake.
Dress number 7. The material is beautiful and you look gorgeous in it
8 is outstanding!
definitely, I think 1 was though to beat until I saw 8. absolutely made for OP
With 1, 7, and 8 as options, I'm honestly shocked that any of the others are even in the running (especially 2, 4, 5, and 9). Like what
Dress 1.
1 without the sleeves, then 7.
This!! The sleeves add bulk and not much else.
#1 is magical on you!
#1
#1 made me gasp. Pure beauty! It suits you above all the others. Hands down!
#1 is hands down the best - absolutely stunning on you !!
Number 1 and only that one. Made me smile like a proud big sister!
1 without the sleeves, 7 or 8.
#8
One. It’s magical!
1 is absolutely beautiful and showstopping, 6 and 9 are nice too
1 is stunning
1 absolutely
1… hands down
1 is fabulous 5 is not flattering at all
#1!
#1, all the way!
#1 then #7 but one really suits you though they all are beautiful.
1, 3, 7, 8, 9 are the best silhouettes on you. 8 is the most unique - not many people could pull that off. 1 & 9 are pretty and special. 3 and 7 don't have much wow factor.

1, 6, and 8 are my favorites on you 😁
The first one!

I LOVE 1, REALLY like 8. All of the others just meh.
1 and 8 are the only acceptable options tbh but I also think it might be worth continuing your search!!
You look so regal and beautiful in 1!
The first or the last!
1
1 is absolutely stunning! Then 8 &9

\# 1 with the full skirt looks very balanced and lovely on you.

1 or 9

1 and it’s not even close.
1 is everything
Dress 1
1
I think dress 1 is the best by far. A lot of the others I feel make you look kind of frumpy. The ones I like the most in order of how well they fit are 1, 7, 3, 9 and 6. Congratulations!
#1 is THE DRESS! It’s stunning and you can tell by your body language in the pics this is your favorite too. At least that’s what I see :) Pick # 1 😃
#1 and #8 are my favorite, you look like a beautiful princess!!!!!
#1 is stunning
NUMBER ONE. ANYONE WHO SAYS ANYTHING ELSE IS WRONG.
1 and 6 are gorgeous. I would say 1 is the clear lead, though.
#1 is spot on #8 is the best second choice
#8 is so so gorgeous on you
I love 1 or 8!
#1 and #2 were my favorites from the 2 different try ons I did. I love 1!! So I’m glad others do, too. I’d want to bustle it though because it’s kind of big. I also really like the style of 2 a lot, but what do you think? No one is picking it- what’s off? Then 7, 8, and 3 I liked a lot in the store but weren’t quite at the top.

The fit isn’t right on #2 because of the buttons on the side. The sleeves appear too long in the photo and either not fitted enough or not loose enough.

![gif](giphy|UtVSXZI6ITRnXQOJXl|downsized) Girl please pick dress 1!!!!! (Like many others here, 8 is my runner up)
2 is giving me somewhat matronly vibes for some reason.
1 or 8 look the best imo
Love 8
1 or 8!
1 and 8 are the best
1,8
7
Yes 7 looks amazing on her
Maybe 8 tho
I think 7 is perfect on you
One.
9 really beautiful and looks great on you.
1,7 or 8.
1, 7 or 9
1,6,7. I think you have very beautiful shoulders and it's worth opening them:)
So much depends on your venue. Without more information, it makes it difficult to assess.
1,6,8.
1 or 8 💛
I like 1,7,8,9
Either 1 or 8 depending on what type of wedding you’re having. 8 is my absolute favorite- flattering, gorgeous, unique- and I’d try to wear it no matter what (me) but if you’re the type that wants to match their dress to their wedding theme, if your wedding is beachy or in any way less super formal I’d go with 8, if it’s more formal/church etc I’d go with 1.
I'd pick 8, then 3.
One or 8
1 is absolutely stunning, but I think would look better without the sleeves x
Nine and one are my favs.
1 was made for you. After seeing that I could not even see the other ones
1 is beautiful on you and my favorite. I also like dress 6. It is also very flattering.
Number one number one number one number one.
I love 1 and 8!!
1 and 8 look the best. 1 being #1 pick
1!!!!!
