Can I have your opinions on these potential dresses-to-get-married-in, please?

I'm 5'7", a size 12 but planning to knock a few more pounds off, fairly straight-up-and-down. I want a simple shape and sleeves of some sort but (to my surprise) have also fallen in love with sequinny/beady/embroidered-type frocks whilst searching.

What do you think? And has anyone ever ordered from Adrienna Papell for the US to the UK?

No 4 and 5

I quite fancy a dark blue or green...what do you think? I tend to wear darker colours usually.

I like the first & second. No help on any thing else though sorry. I think they all look as if they'd be a good shape for you.

They really are, aren't they? I should probably say, I'm 43 if that would influence your choice at all Grin

I love all of them. Have also been looking at Needle and Thread but the dresses I really live from them are all backless and I think that might be a step too far (especially in Glasgow in the autumn!)

Love not live!

I think no 4 might be my fave too, just about, but I love the dark blue too...

I love the style and shape of number 2. I love number 5, except the neckline. But all lovely

Number 1 & 3 are my favourites, but they're all lovely. I'd steer clear of the darker colours, think the lighter ones are more weddingy, and will look better to look back on in the future. Lighter colours nicer for a summer wedding too.

they are all beautiful! I love Adrienna Papell dresses - they are even more lovely than the pictures show. They wear well too, and are well made. I'm sure you shall be fine with having them shipped!

They are lovely!

If it helps OP, Monsoon and Phase Eight do very similar styles of dress for around £500. You could order from there to see how they fit before paying US postage prices.

What kind of "feel" will the wedding have?

1,2 and 4 are beautiful and romantic.

3 and 5 are also beautiful and more sophisticated.

All beautiful! I can also recommend Frock and Frill for embellished dresses too.

I'm not sure if you know but Needle and Thread also have quite a lot of dresses on TheOutnet.com. They are usually heavily discounted.
