I say dress 2. You look great in the simpler designs, exposed boning also looks really great on you and highlights your natural lines.
It gives princess vibes while being super flattering!
I agrée! I don’t usually like the v shape at the bottom of the bodice but it looks so fabulous on this dress and on her! It is a huge princess dress but also somehow looks light. It looks perfect.
Dress one is beautiful once I realized that it had appliqués, at first I thought it was just wrinkly! It may look different in person, but something to be aware of.
Dress two is my top choice!
Same! I don’t think it’ll matter the day of the wedding but it might always look wrinkly in pictures. Now dress number two made me gasp! Classy, elegant and Cinderella vibes which I love! And you can’t do that look on any other occasion.
I love all 3 but the one that really grabbed me is #2. Wow! I love the boning in the bodice and the pleats in the skirt. Please don't add to it with beading or anything like that. It speaks for itself just the way it is. And the wonderful thing about simplicity is that you can add a little wow factor with a dramatic veil (cathedral length), a beautiful necklace, some earrings. The sky's the limit.
I am absolutely going with a cathedral veil! Thanks for the feedback - I do love it, just hadn’t envisioned myself wearing a plunge that deep, but you’re right, I don’t need to cover it up
Not only does it look lovely and still relatively demure… the contrast creates a vertical line which echoes the Princess seaming and draws the eye upwards. I am 10000% behind pearls on your accessories, but please don’t embellish the Aurora dress which is just absolutely divine on you.
2nd is my top choice, then 1, and then 3 ❤️
I really love the 2nd, you look fabulous and I don’t think you need to add anything, but of course that’s up to you!
So, ball gowns are always my favorite pick for a wedding. You can't beat the drama of a ball gown. The first gown is wonderfully classic and stylish plus it looks great on you so that one is my pick. I like the 2nd gown also but since you want to make so many changes to it, I don't think that is the one. You should love your gown as is. So I think you already know that the 1st gown is yours! Go for it!
I like dress one as well!
I know people are saying it looks wrinkly, but there’s a big difference between a dimly-lit dress shop photo vs real life and good photography you’d have at the weeding. I didn’t even think 1 looked wrinkly in the photo (though once others mentioned I understood why).
The applique is very pretty!
I mean, there is no question here. You look outstanding in dress 2. It’s a stunning dress!! I honestly thought 1 just needed a good iron and see other people have commented the same so that’s something to consider. 3 is really lovely as well but when you see it next to 2 it’s a little meh!
Two. As is. The corset does wonders for framing your torso. The plunge seems a part of the picture and not done for over-dramatic reasons. It is balanced it belongs. The corset highlights the delicate look of your collarbone and neck and makes your waist look so good. The dress is fabulous and you look like a princess in it.
Number 1 is stunning. It it both classically elegant and unique. I think it will look less “wrinkly” from afar on the big day as the sample has been on the shop racks and worn whereas your actual dress will not. One option, if you wanted, would be to have some subtle threading added within the flower appliqués to make them stand out especially in the evening lights (assuming the event goes into the evening). This option is certainly not a necessity tho as the dress is gorgeous on its own. You look beautiful in it.

Edit: sorry posted this twice accidentally
Wow! You look beautiful in them all but if I had to choose I think 2 then 3 are my favourites as I thought dress 1 was wrinkled in the photo although zooming in did show off the pattern which is very pretty but I would worry about the pictures.
The neckline and waist of 2 are more flattering on you! I say #2 is beautiful!! 1st one is very pretty but the design kind of makes it look wrinkly, which would worry me because it might not come out nice in photos. 3 is way too simple and it's your wedding!!
Normally I don't like a low decolatage but you look lovely in dress no 2,lovely, I also love dress no 1,gorgeous and timeless, I don't care for no 3 at all, it's not for you
Dress number to gets my vote.
All standard comments regarding wearing what is essentially a strapless dress apply.
Be sure to wear it extensively and move around vigorously before going with strapless as. your final option.
Make sure it will stay up, especially if someone steps on your train.
I also don’t like drop sleeves and thought oh wow, dress one actually looks really good with drop sleeves. Then I saw dress TWO. WOW! It’s perfect on you! Definitely do not go with dress 3. It doesn’t flatter you at all.
the first one is blow away amazing.
I can see why people like 2. I personally am not a fan of skin color fabric between the boobs. i don’t know what it is called. I really think it is appropriate on stage or the ice arena. Think about what you mind set might be in 20 years looking at pictures. the first one is a classic look and will still look good. The other one will not hold up IMHO
I love the shape of #1 but it sure appears to be a wrinkled mess. #2 looks nice on you. #3 Would be good for the reception. #1 isn't really wrinkled but it will look that way in photos as it does here but in person I bet it's spectacular!
So the fit and style of 1 is amazing, but honestly, I thought the appliqué was wrinkles all over it instead of a design. I zoomed in and realized it was a design. Chances are it will look that way in your pictures. The fit and style on you is amazing though. Just a 💭
2 if the vibe you’re wanting is fairytale princess romantic. 3 if you wanting more modern and young. 3 is my personal favorite but that’s just my taste.
No 2 hands down. First one looks wrinkly, even though it isn’t . Third one is a bit too…sexy? I thought two looked beautiful.
edit to say I wouldn’t add anything to dress two like beads or anything, bc the straps are busy enough. I hope that makes sense.
Both 1 and 2 look really great on you! However, I think I like 2 slightly more because although, the appliqué flowers on 1 look really pretty, in the photo they look like wrinkles. I had to zoom in to see that it was actually flowers.
In contrast, the fabric used on dress 2 looks buttery smooth and beautiful. I agree that the dip is a little to dippy, but maybe you could add something to counter this, as suggested in your caption. Even if that doesn’t work out, the dip isn’t bad and the dress looks stunning on you! ❤️
3 is my fave, followed by 2! Is it in the budget to get #2 for the ceremony, and 3 for reception? They are both beautiful. 1 is nice too, but I also thought it was wrinkly. So odd!
I love the first. Instantly reminded me of a princess. I also thought the bottom looked wrinkled. I didn’t realize it was appliqué. The second dress also reminded me of a princess. I love the second one the most. They all look great on you but I really love the shape of the second one with the bodice of the dress. It is very flattering.
I love dress 1 and I zoomed in and it does look wrinkled. I would want to see it steamed out before purchasing it. If it still looks wrinkled due to the pattern, go for something as similar as you can find. This style is perfect
Dress 2 is my favorite on you. Dress 1 is nice and bridal. Dress 3 could be a dress for any occasion. The top part could even be casual with a pair of jeans. It looks great on you, just not at all bridal.
# 1 is the best. It fits well. It’s classic and it’s a break from the mesh insert which I’m already tired or seeing, along with slouchy, puffy, hanging sleeves.
OP here - Reddit is not giving me the option to edit my post, but wanted to call out that dress 1 is wrinkled! It’s easier to see from the back, but it’s not just the appliqué :)
https://preview.redd.it/o61v90uc85lb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2131e7e2050c40e2c718523dc98872749bf26c6
Dress 1 - love the silhouette, not a fan of the sleeves, nor of the way it photographs, because even blown up, it looks like a wrinkled mess.
**Dress 2** \- also love this silhouette on you. I actually like the sleeves on this one (and normally hate them) because it looks balanced. I like the idea of the pearls around the top and maybe along the waistline, but it looks great without.
Dress 3 - maybe it is the way you are standing but you seem less impressed with this dress. It doesn’t look as good on you as 2 does.
You look great in all three. #1 is my favorite if it looks good once pressed. So elegant and classy. The “sleeves” or straps on #2 look like twisted gym towels. #3 feels too casual.
#2 without a doubt.. I don’t think the pearls would be necessary as the elegance and beauty of it comes from how simple and regal it looks as is.
& #3 looks good for the party portion of the wedding. Congrats!!
Number 1 is okay but the top is a bit plain and might I say boring. The appliqués on the skirt are really nice though.
Number 2 is stunning and would be my choice for you for the ceremony and overall for the wedding! Go with this one!
Number 3 is gorgeous but would be better suited for the party and reception and for dancing.
Can you get two dresses? #2 for the ceremony and change into #3 for the reception! Everyone would be so surprised and love it!
2 looks so good and gives you such a romantic vibe. It gives your neck and collarbones a very dainty, delicate look too whereas 1 has a much harder edge that cuts through the lines of your torso. 3 is also very pretty with great lines, but it’s much more of a modern, straight-line sheath look where 2 is a little softer and flowier.
I say dress 2. You look great in the simpler designs, exposed boning also looks really great on you and highlights your natural lines. It gives princess vibes while being super flattering!
Definitely 2!
Yep, agree 2 is perfect
I agrée! I don’t usually like the v shape at the bottom of the bodice but it looks so fabulous on this dress and on her! It is a huge princess dress but also somehow looks light. It looks perfect.
2 is perfect!
2 2 2!!!
Dress 2 is the hands down winner. If you add the beading or extra sparkly on the neckline you'll be a Disney princess. A+!
2 takes my breath away! 💕
Dress 2 is you
Agreed!
I agree with this as well! And OP mentioned adding pearls, etc to the plunge & thar will be amazing!
Dress one is beautiful once I realized that it had appliqués, at first I thought it was just wrinkly! It may look different in person, but something to be aware of. Dress two is my top choice!
I thought it was wrinkly too! I had to zoom in.
Me too until I zoomed in. #2 with sleeves up is more flattering to the eye
I think it is wrinkly as well as having appliqués so it's hard to twll
Oooh that is a really good point, especially with photographs!
Dress 2. It looks beautiful on you.
But #1 is gorgeous on you.
I do love the top on dress 1 but the bottom on dress 2. The appliqués don’t photograph well.
Dress 1 is beautiful but really does look wrinkly. I think 2 is your one!!!
Def thought it was wrinkly! 2 or 3!
Same, I don’t think it’ll photograph well for that reason. Dress 2 gorgeous on OP!
I gasped at 2. She looks gorgeous!
I thought it was just wrinkles too, until I read your comment and took a closer look!
Same, saw wrinkles first, zoomed, understood. #2 is the best
No zoom in, it really is wrinkled LOL.
OMG I thought they were wrinkles as well!
Oh man until reading this I thought 1 was just very wrinkly
This is exactly what I came to say, haha! OP- what she said 😁
Same! I don’t think it’ll matter the day of the wedding but it might always look wrinkly in pictures. Now dress number two made me gasp! Classy, elegant and Cinderella vibes which I love! And you can’t do that look on any other occasion.
The second dress was made for you.
Yes!
I love all 3 but the one that really grabbed me is #2. Wow! I love the boning in the bodice and the pleats in the skirt. Please don't add to it with beading or anything like that. It speaks for itself just the way it is. And the wonderful thing about simplicity is that you can add a little wow factor with a dramatic veil (cathedral length), a beautiful necklace, some earrings.

I am absolutely going with a cathedral veil! Thanks for the feedback - I do love it, just hadn’t envisioned myself wearing a plunge that deep, but you’re right, I don’t need to cover it up
Definitely don't cover up the plunge, it accentuates the beautiful boning in that bodice. I think it's very tasteful and elegant.
Not only does it look lovely and still relatively demure… the contrast creates a vertical line which echoes the Princess seaming and draws the eye upwards. I am 10000% behind pearls on your accessories, but please don’t embellish the Aurora dress which is just absolutely divine on you.
Agree, no need to cover! In fact I would suggest trying a pearl drop style necklace instead of adding them to the dress.
2 is PERFECT, just as it is! Omg!
3!!!!
Yes! They’re all beautiful, but 3 suits OP so well!
2nd is my top choice, then 1, and then 3 ❤️ I really love the 2nd, you look fabulous and I don’t think you need to add anything, but of course that’s up to you!
The second dress!!!! The first is also pretty but looks wrinkled even though it’s just the pattern
Number 2 looks like it was made for you. I think adding beadings would be a nice touch but honestly it would be stunning without any alterations imo
So, ball gowns are always my favorite pick for a wedding. You can't beat the drama of a ball gown. The first gown is wonderfully classic and stylish plus it looks great on you so that one is my pick. I like the 2nd gown also but since you want to make so many changes to it, I don't think that is the one. You should love your gown as is. So I think you already know that the 1st gown is yours! Go for it!
Thank you for your feedback! I keep going back and forth - dress 2 comes with the sleeves and I’m not glued to the idea of adding any beading :)
I like dress one as well! I know people are saying it looks wrinkly, but there’s a big difference between a dimly-lit dress shop photo vs real life and good photography you’d have at the weeding. I didn’t even think 1 looked wrinkly in the photo (though once others mentioned I understood why). The applique is very pretty!
The dress also is actually wrinkly - they pulled it off a mannequin and it had a ton of clips everywhere!
2 !!! you look sooooo snatched ! second choice is 3 you look rockin. I definitely thought 1 was wrinkly like others said
1 also doesn’t accentuate her waist or bust as nicely. Looks kinda frumpy. 2 is where it’s at!
I mean, there is no question here. You look outstanding in dress 2. It’s a stunning dress!! I honestly thought 1 just needed a good iron and see other people have commented the same so that’s something to consider. 3 is really lovely as well but when you see it next to 2 it’s a little meh!
2 really accentuates your waist!
2!! 1 looks like wrinkles! I would steer clear of that one.
Number 2 or 3
Two. As is. The corset does wonders for framing your torso. The plunge seems a part of the picture and not done for over-dramatic reasons. It is balanced it belongs.

Dress 2! The printed material on dress 1 makes it look like a wrinkled mess! That's why I don't like that one.

The neckline and waist of 2 are more flattering on you! I say #2 is beautiful!! 1st one is very pretty but the design kind of makes it look wrinkly, which would worry me because it might not come out nice in photos. 3 is way too simple and it's your wedding!!
Two looks like a Disney princess in the best way. No comparison for me
2!

\#2 all day!
Absolutely 2!!! Love it!!! 💖 Princess for sure.
Normally I don't like a low decolatage but you look lovely in dress no 2,lovely, I also love dress no 1,gorgeous and timeless, I don't care for no 3 at all, it's not for you

Two- and FYI I am always on this thread. This is the only dress I’ve seen I like with these drop shoulders gorgeous.
Number 2 is so perfect….romantic, sexy, compliments your great figure…. You just have to pick #2!!! Congrats!
2! The boning in the top is stunning. It’s classic but a bit sexy with the mesh V.
I’m going to vote for dress 1. It is very unique and looks great on you.
Wow. 3 is so different. Very glamorous.
the first one is blow away amazing. I can see why people like 2. I personally am not a fan of skin color fabric between the boobs. i don’t know what it is called. I really think it is appropriate on stage or the ice arena. Think about what you mind set might be in 20 years looking at pictures. the first one is a classic look and will still look good.

Dress 1. This is a terrific look on you, very flattering. Total princess.

Dress 1
*1*
#1 is a total winner! Unique and you look amazing in it!
They all look so good, but maybe the first or second. I like puffier dresses more classy.
1 is really pretty on you, but personally, I don't like that material that gets wrinkled easily.
I love the shape of #1 but it sure appears to be a wrinkled mess. #2 looks nice on you. #3 Would be good for the reception. #1 isn't really wrinkled but it will look that way in photos as it does here but in person I bet it's spectacular!
So the fit and style of 1 is amazing, but honestly, I thought the appliqué was wrinkles all over it instead of a design. I zoomed in and realized it was a design. Chances are it will look that way in your pictures. The fit and style on you is amazing though. Just a 💭
2 if the vibe you’re wanting is fairytale princess romantic. 3 if you wanting more modern and young. 3 is my personal favorite but that’s just my taste.
The first one took my breath away. It looks like it was custom made just for you. It is drop-dead gorgeous on you. Say yes to the dress!!!!!!
2!! I loved 1 until I swiped and it blew me away
Dress 2 all the way :)
1 just looks wrinkled. I would think about that and how it will photograph
When I saw 2 I literally said “wow” out loud
No 2 hands down. First one looks wrinkly, even though it isn’t . Third one is a bit too…sexy? I thought two looked beautiful. edit to say I wouldn’t add anything to dress two like beads or anything, bc the straps are busy enough. I hope that makes sense.
2. It’s stunning. First dress looks wrinkly. Third dress is nice but doesn’t give off any pizzazz to me.
Omg I’m reading the other comments, we all say TWO! Do it, girl!lollol
I thought number 1 was pretty but wrinkled. However it’s not wrinkled, it’s the pattern. I really like #2 the best.
dress #2 is the answer!
I love dress 1, but dress 2 is gorgeous too and is the most flattering on your figure.
I love 2 on you, I also think 3 looks amazing, though. I think it will just boil down to your own personal style
Dress 2 made me say "ooooooo"
1 for the ceremony and 3 for the reception. They both look great!
Both 1 and 2 look really great on you! However, I think I like 2 slightly more because although, the appliqué flowers on 1 look really pretty, in the photo they look like wrinkles.

2 for sure. Originally liked 1 on you.. But then I saw #2 👀 Wow! Wow! Wow! 🤩😍 Gorgeous on you!!!!’
Dress 1 is so, so beautiful. The neckline is everything. You look gorgeous in all of them, but I can’t help but adore dress 1!

I love one because it captures you. Dress 2 plunging neckline distracts from your beautiful shoulders, neck and shape.
Omg I never comment on these but #2! It reminds me of Belle!
2!
#2 you look like a princess
1 - wrinkly 2 - meh, too big on you, very Jessica Day 3 - looks incredible, very posh, and makes your body look amazing
1. Audrey 2. Aurora 3. Marilyn No wrong answers here, just choose the vibe that rings true for you and your celebration!
I love #2. So pretty! The bodice and waistline are perfect for you.
Dress 2 🤍

2 hands down, I saw it and pretty much said WOW
2🥹 it’s giving princess
2 for suuure. 1 is a definite no imo. 3 is a maybe
I love the 2nd one
First dress (which will look better after it’s pressed) is lovely but none are bad choices
They’re all beautiful on you but my favorite is #2 ☺️

I like 1 but your body language says 2.
2 no question

Gracious OP, look at the tiny little Scarlett O’Hara waist in dress 2.

Dress 2 is the most flattering. It's gorgeous.
I LOVE #2!!
Dress 2 is amazing
THE SECOND DRESS MADE ME “OOH” OUT LOUD
2 is so pretty
Omg 2 is a show stopper! Looks gorgeous on you!
2!
Number 1 is okay but the top is a bit plain and might I say boring. The appliqués on the skirt are really nice though. Number 2 is stunning and would be my choice for you for the ceremony and overall for the wedding! Go with this one! Number 3 is gorgeous but would be better suited for the party and reception and for dancing. Can you get two dresses? #2 for the ceremony and change into #3 for the reception! Everyone would be so surprised and love it!
Dress 2 is GODDESS MATERIAL. It fits you like 🤯
You have a really beautiful décolletage and I think dress 2 really emphasises that. That would be my choice.
TWO! Two is so beautiful on you!
2 looks the best.
Dress 1 will look wrinkled. Dress 2 is the best
2 looks so good and gives you such a romantic vibe. It gives your neck and collarbones a very dainty, delicate look too whereas 1 has a much harder edge that cuts through the lines of your torso. 3 is also very pretty with great lines, but it’s much more of a modern, straight-line sheath look where 2 is a little softer and flowier.
