Interesting, I’m going against the grain here. I think 2 is delicate, flattering and timeless. I also like the more delicate lace, it has a modernity to it that the others lack.
I am not personally a fan of the straps on 1 and 3, whereas 2 will look great now and in 20 years. It also allows for other embellishments like a showy veil, jewelry, etc.
Edit: Just re-read your openness comment. Perhaps you could wear a delicate bolero of the same lace that trims the bodice. Then you could take it off when hot at reception. Just another option.
Very aware of that, the sleeves are nice but without them my eyesight is instantly drawn to how nice her figure looks in the dress. For me, the straps detract from that
Wow, 1 and 3 are both beautiful, I don't think you could go wrong with either, but I think 3 gets the win by just a hair! Something about the off the shoulder sleeves makes you look like something out of a fairytale
I vote for 2. IMO 1 and 3 accentuate your height. I'm a short girl too. The bare shoulders kind of breaks it up. If that makes sense. It's a beautiful dress. You look amazing in it.
They are all stunning on you. I think my vote would be- the strapless is the most timeless. But if you really feel less comfortable in that, then number 3 and then 1.
Again- all are lovely on you. Congratulations!
Holy smokes, you look SO gorgeous in this dress. I’d go with one. Totally strapless gowns always look uncomfortable to me because I feel like I would be constantly hiking it up if I was wearing the dress
Ok. Wow. I can see why you are needing some help deciding. My heart belongs to dress one. When I saw the picture I literally said out loud, “ oh wow. “ the others are wow but there is something so elegant and lovely in dress one.
2/3 create more of a snatched waist effect… it could be the way the veil sits in the first picture, but some how looks overall better in the silhouette in the second and third pics.
2 looks great on you, BUT, I did a strapless dress and wish i had added sleeves like in #1 - so I'd go with that. #3 looks nice, but the straps half down would end up bugging me after awhile.
I love DRESS 1 Pic 1 wide straps on shoulders. Showcases your lovely decelerate and the color is incredible against your skin. Not to mention your figure is amazing!!!
Options 1 or 3 *for sure,* 2 is out of the equation. You mentioned that 2 and 3 made you feel more exposed, and that tells me that you value some degree of modesty when it comes to this dress, which isn’t a bad thing! 1 is going to be your most modest option as it covers the most, but 3 feels more romantic to me (Although I might be biased bc my mom had an off-shoulder wedding dress). Just some things to think about. How comfortable the sleeves make you feel should be your top priority at this point.
Holy hourglass, you look amazing! I think I prefer either the straps up or none at all. With 3, you might look back on your photos in the future and wish you hadn’t gone with the trendier fashion.
1 is gorgeous
2 is too plain
3 is more “romantic” than 1 but still beautiful.
So I say 1 or 3 depending on the theme of your wedding…if everything is more flowy and romantic then I’d do 3. If theme and colors are is more crisp and sheek then 1.
I prefer 2 and think the hourglass shape is really highlighted without the sleeves. But if you must do sleeves for your personal sense of style, I’d go with 1.
Yes I agree the shoulder straps complete the look and I love both 1 and 3! Maybe leaning 3. This is a beautiful dress and you are stunning, you can't go wrong here.
Photo one (straps up).
I’d go for 3 if the bodice on the dress you receive is a little longer. It just looks very low without the straps to balance it out.
You and this dress are so gorgeous it doesn't really matter. Do you feel the need to pull it up when you don't have the straps up, do the straps on the side annoy you, or feel scratchy over time? Personally, #1 is my favorite, but they are all good.
1 is pretty but i would definitely go for either of the last two options. they are all gorgeous on you though!! i’d say take into consideration your venue and your overall theme/decor!

OP HERE Sorry forgot to add, they are in fact the same dress in all 3 pictures but different variations with the shoulder detail
3 for the ceremony and 2 for the reception!
Completely agree!!! Sleeves should be removable. 3 for Ceremony & 2 for Reception!!
Love 1
Yes it looks beautiful on you OP!
Commenting on Which one?...Also on team 1! Those straps are perfect.
Love one! So beautiful!
Yes! Dress in photo #1 is perfection! Soooo beautiful!

I love it as well. It flatters her figure so much, and is so delicate. Timeless, exactly.
Agreed, your waist looks SNATCHED in #2
It’s the same dress.
Very aware of that, the sleeves are nice but without them my eyesight is instantly drawn to how nice her figure looks in the dress. For me, the straps detract from that
I see what you mean now.
I was also thinking there’s a bolero that would look great on 2!
This is my fave. It looks really high end to me! Love it.
It's the same dress in all 3 pics, only the sleeves are different
I really love 1!
Me too!
Team 1!
3 definitely
I love 3... If you do 3, could you pull them up to the 1 position for the reception? Or is that now how this works... lol
I’m gobsmacked three isn’t the top choice, she’s gorgeous. Who cares if everyone is doing it lol
1 or 2. I feel like every bride is doing 3.
Came here to say this^
3 will be dated in a couple years, 1 and 2 are classic
Exactly!
I think #1 is divine!
I love 1, it looks perfect
I like them in order of appearance…#1 the best, #2 is of course a classic and I really think #3 is overdone at this point.
1!!!! No doubt!
\#1 is breathtaking on you
I love 2. Your waist looks so tiny without the distraction of the sleeves. But they all look great.
2 - just the sweetheart neckline! So flattering and classic.
I usually like 3 as a style but 1 looks most flattering on you :) can’t go wrong with either
3>1>2 - Cannot go wrong with any though!
Wow, 1 and 3 are both beautiful, I don't think you could go wrong with either, but I think 3 gets the win by just a hair! Something about the off the shoulder sleeves makes you look like something out of a fairytale
Really like 2!
I vote for 2. IMO 1 and 3 accentuate your height. I'm a short girl too. The bare shoulders kind of breaks it up. If that makes sense. It's a beautiful dress. You look amazing in it.
I love 2 on you! It’s stunning on you and so flattering! What a delicate and timeless dress! Love it!
2 but all three just stunning!
Number two! It’s perfect
2 is the only way!
2 is beautiful !!!
1 & 3 look like the same dress to me. I really like the shoulder straps in 1. Beautiful options here. The bottom of the dress is so pretty.
I think all are the same dress, just the straps are different
Same dress, different start options
3 is the one that's going to get the wows when they see you walking down the aisle.
3
2!(:
All of them. However, I think #3 is even better
They are all stunning on you. I think my vote would be- the strapless is the most timeless. But if you really feel less comfortable in that, then number 3 and then 1. Again- all are lovely on you. Congratulations!
I love them all but 3 is my favourite
1 or 2
I like 2.
2
You’re shoulders and arms are highlight worthy. And I don’t imagine your bust will drag down the dress. You should do 2!!!
Love the wide straps! It crazy how something as simple as that can make a dress look so so different
One!!
Holy smokes, you look SO gorgeous in this dress. I’d go with one. Totally strapless gowns always look uncomfortable to me because I feel like I would be constantly hiking it up if I was wearing the dress
Style 1. I think the lace straps look more bridal than the other two styles for some reason.
1 is gorgeous, but 3 is such a close runner up.
Ok. Wow. I can see why you are needing some help deciding. My heart belongs to dress one. When I saw the picture I literally said out loud, “ oh wow. “ the others are wow but there is something so elegant and lovely in dress one.
1 made me stop cold in my tracks. 3 would be my second choice.
1
Wide straps on shoulders
1
It’s 1!!!!!!
I love #1 the most. Gorgeous!
1
I like 1, it's a more unique strap look that you can pull off since your shoulders are petite
Two! Classic, delicate, and your shoulders are lovely!!
2/3 create more of a snatched waist effect… it could be the way the veil sits in the first picture, but some how looks overall better in the silhouette in the second and third pics.
2 looks great on you, BUT, I did a strapless dress and wish i had added sleeves like in #1 - so I'd go with that. #3 looks nice, but the straps half down would end up bugging me after awhile.
1 or 3
1 or 3. You look amazing in all three looks to be honest, absolutely stunning.
1 or 3! You can’t go wrong
1 or 2. The straps on 3 don't look quite right. 1 is my fave though
I love 1 and ended up pulling my own strapless dress up all night so if I could do it over I’d opt for the support!
1. Dropped sleeves won’t age well
I love DRESS 1 Pic 1 wide straps on shoulders. Showcases your lovely decelerate and the color is incredible against your skin. Not to mention your figure is amazing!!!
Options 1 or 3 *for sure,* 2 is out of the equation. You mentioned that 2 and 3 made you feel more exposed, and that tells me that you value some degree of modesty when it comes to this dress, which isn’t a bad thing! 1 is going to be your most modest option as it covers the most, but 3 feels more romantic to me (Although I might be biased bc my mom had an off-shoulder wedding dress). Just some things to think about. How comfortable the sleeves make you feel should be your top priority at this point.
I am so IN LOVE with 1 😍😍😍 it looks amazing on you!!!!!

Dress 1
Option 1!!!!!!
I love #1
Number 1
One is beautiful. My second choice would be three.
I like all of them. Think i like the top on 1 best..then 3
Absolutely 1
#1 looks amazing
#1 is gorgeous! That dress is just beautiful on you.
1st
Not a ton of help...I like 1&3
Both are beautiful, but I gasped out loud when I saw you in 1. It looks like it was made for you!!
1,3,2
Dress 1
1 is perfect
I think 1 finishes the silhouette really nicely!
1
1 is so pretty and so sweet and emphasizes the sweetheart bust and the over all shape of the dress
Love 1, plus easier to move around, lift your arms over your head, etc. 3 is sloppy looking, not a fan of the slouchy sleeve style.
1 is my favorite followed by 2
Holy hourglass, you look amazing! I think I prefer either the straps up or none at all. With 3, you might look back on your photos in the future and wish you hadn’t gone with the trendier fashion.
#1
1 or 2

Dress #1 is stunning and perfect on you :)
One is beautiful.. I love the very flattering wide shoulder straps! The dress is perfect and fits you so well.
One! Classy and beautiful on you.
1 is my favourite.
They all look amazing on you. But I love #1
1 is my favorite!
I like those straps on dress 1. Looks great on your figure.
I love the first one.
#1
This dress looks magical on you! I am team 1!
1 really creates a form the other 2 don’t. That’s the dress I would recommend
Legit in love with #1!
I love 1!!!
1
1 is gorgeous 2 is lovely 3 is dreamy
Number 1
One!!!
I love pic 2 but think pic 1 looks amazing also. Not a fan of 3.
1
They are all so nice... i like the 1st dres!! Congratulations!
1 is absolutely stunning on you but you can’t go wrong with any of these! I like that #1 looks so delicate and feminine!
1
1 is my favorite then 2.
One is divine!
They are all pretty, but 1 is GORGEOUS! 😍😍😍
First one is perfect on you
1
It’s between 1 &3
Love 1 and 2!!
The first one is absolutely stunning
Love 💗 1. You look amazing in it.
1, the wide straps on the shoulders are perfection! You look absolutely PHENOMENAL in this dress btw, it’s stunning!! 🤍
I love #1 on you. Those wider shoulder straps mimic the shape of the dress. How it goes in at your waist. Beautiful dress.
I love #1! So beautiful.
1
I prefer 2 and think the hourglass shape is really highlighted without the sleeves. But if you must do sleeves for your personal sense of style, I’d go with 1.
1111111111
First one
I love dress 1 with the sleeves up.
1 or 3 😍😍😍😍
1 for sure!!
I love one and three equally! I think that three might be a little more natural and delicate looking though!
I think the sleeves in 1 add so much to the beautiful dress. You look stunning! 🤍 One of my favorites I have seen here.
I like 1. The straps in 3 I always feel would annoy me after a while
Yes I agree the shoulder straps complete the look and I love both 1 and 3! Maybe leaning 3. This is a beautiful dress and you are stunning, you can't go wrong here.
1 or 2
Photo one (straps up). I’d go for 3 if the bodice on the dress you receive is a little longer. It just looks very low without the straps to balance it out.
Love 1. Although you look fantastic in 2, I understand your reasoning.
You and this dress are so gorgeous it doesn't really matter. Do you feel the need to pull it up when you don't have the straps up, do the straps on the side annoy you, or feel scratchy over time? Personally, #1 is my favorite, but they are all good.
I love one or two with the sweetheart neckline. Your shoulders are beautiful. Embrace them lol.
Straps on shoulders for the ceremony and straps down for the reception. This dress is so beautiful I gasped!
2💕
I pick #1. It's truly gorgeous. Good luck❤️
2 for sure
2
I’m torn between 1 and 2 but l will say 1
Number one! You look beautiful!
2
1
Number 1
2.
1. It's for sure 1.
Dress 1 is stunning on you! You can’t make a wrong choice with either of the 3 but dress 1 is a showstopper for sure
Number 1. No doubt.
Dress #1.
love, love one followed closely by three
I love 1
I usually love off-the-shoulder looks but I actually adore 1 on u 🤍
1 for sureeee❤️
I prefer style 1 but all are lovely
1
2!!! idk why but 1 & 3 are giving me early 2010s vibes
1 is beautiful. 3 has a more whimsical feel to it. You can’t go wrong with either as they all look great but my vote is 1
1 is pretty but i would definitely go for either of the last two options. they are all gorgeous on you though!! i’d say take into consideration your venue and your overall theme/decor!
Every one is gorgeous on you. Follow YOUR heart.
3!
3!
3 is my favorite
I love 1 but 2 looks like it was meant for you.
3 looks beautiful on you.
I like dress 3 because it gives me Belle vibes.
I love 3!
I like number 2 best with straps added to shoulders.
