Hi I'm going to a wedding in late spring and am hoping to buy a dress in the sales. I've narrowed it down to these four but just can't decide which I like best. Which would you chose?

Or

Any advice whatsoever very greatly appreciated xx

Hmmm, number one is nice but would depend on how tall you were/how short it would be. I like number 2. 3is ok. 4is a no as I don't think it looks appropriate for a wedding.
What kind of shape are yoy? What style do you want? What would you be wearing over the top to keep you warm? old lady

I think 1 is too short and 4 is just not appropriate, 2 & 3 are nice.
I think of all 2 is the nicest.

Second one is very classy and elegant. First and third look tarty IMHO and fourth one is totally not appropriate for a wedding (too sexy, black, long length).

Thanks for your advice. I'm not sure what to do! It's going to be a very extravagant wedding (wouldn't normally chose these sort if dresses tbh). I'm only 5'5" so hoping the shorter dress would be longer on me iykwim. I've recently gone from a size 20 to a size 12 so it's also a bit of a treat/pat on the back to myself.

Okay, if you are smaller than the model number 1 would look lovely.
Congratulations on the weight loss, that's fantastic!

I actually don't think number four is appropriate either just three it in in the hope I was wrong because I love it!! Thanks wreight loss a struggle but hopefully ill keep it off. I'd normally pick something like number two but its a really big affair with a few celebs attending so don't know if its a bit too conservative???

No.2 or No.3. Actually no.3 is quite elegant with the shoulder detail.

I don't really love any of them. If I had to choose, it would be no.2.

Well done on the weight loss. I am a size 18 and could only dream of being as slim as you are now. How did you do it?

Honestly I think 2 is lovely, very elegant, very suitable for a wedding.
If the celebrities are Katie Price types then I understand why you'd think it was understated, but better that than trying to upstage the bride. (Not that I'm suggesting you would, but I think a wedding requires a more elegant style than a usual going out dress).

I like no 2 and you would be able to wear it again- it's elegant and versatile.

I think 1 is too arse skimming, 3 looks cocktail ish, 4 looks like a evening dress. Probably 2.

I don't much care for them- and I always think Coast is risky, as someone else may well have been there too...

Do you want it to be that colour? Given how slim you are you have such choice! Wait til. Mywardrobe or Netaporter sales?

I would go for something like these:

Roberta

Prague

Feron

They say more late spring to me. I think the colours you chose look a bit unseasonal. They should show your new lovely figure off too. Fantastic weight loss, well done.
