In the shop I preferred dress 1.

Now I’m home I’m thinking dress 2. Just because I have no boobs at all and I worry about the boob area on that one.

What type of wedding is it? I wouldn’t go plunging neckline for a church ceremony.

Nesssie · 18/07/2019 16:52

Is there anyway you could have a more substantial belt on dress 2? To sparkle it up a bit? Otherwise it might be a bit plain at the front.

ReturnofSaturn · 18/07/2019 16:52

Dress 1 as I don't like the back of dress 2.

rubyroot · 18/07/2019 16:52

1 by a mile. I thi k it shows off your figure more and the second one is a bit poofed up and meringuey at the front. Tho I think it's down to personal taste. Which one do you prefer? You must have a slight favourite?!

ContactLight · 18/07/2019 16:52

I like the back of number 1 but the front is a bit too low cut for my taste, I prefer the front of dress 3.

Dress 2 I'm not keen on, sorry.

Dress two is stunning on you!
Not keen on dress one

HelloBrass · 18/07/2019 16:55

Dress 2 is amazing!

barryfromclareisfit · 18/07/2019 16:55

2
But if you can get to the Piece Hall in Halifax, there’s a dress there that’s worth a look.

SleepingStandingUp · 18/07/2019 16:56

You have the advantage of having a stunning figure, so you'll look great in a bin bag!! I think 1 is stunning, and actually your lack of boobs is to your advantage as it makes it look better than if you were popping out

GreenTulips · 18/07/2019 16:56

The dress isn’t Plunging or low - it’s designed to have an illusion piece to cover boobs - so it looks plunging. It’s actually quite covered

Jointheteam · 18/07/2019 16:56

Haha so many opinions.

It’s really difficult with the dresses I couldn’t take photos of as I can’t really remember them too well.

I felt amazing in both but a plunging neckline is something I would never ever wear usually due to the boob situation. My go to style of dress is a halter neck dress which is think dress 2 is similar to. My fiancé actually teases me because every single dress I buy is the same style so I’d also like something different.

Both are really gorgeous! I do slightly prefer dress 2.

SleepingStandingUp · 18/07/2019 16:57

Definately no halter neck then tho

userabcname · 18/07/2019 16:59

I love number 1!

Deadringer · 18/07/2019 17:00

They are both beautiful, but I prefer dress 1. I don't like the third one, it's not as classy imo. You have a fantastic figure.

maddy68 · 18/07/2019 17:00

I think both are stunning but perhaps dress 1 is a bit too low cut at the front. Could it be made a bit more discrete at the front?

Luckingfovely · 18/07/2019 17:01

All are lovely but:

1 is everywhere at the moment

2 is stunning and memorable but does slightly swamp you

3 is slimmer fitting and looks like it would work better on you.

Still shopping to do I'm afraid!

(But you're going to look stunning whatever you choose Smile)

Pieceofpurplesky · 18/07/2019 17:01

Dress 2. I don't like dress one at all.

scrambledeggsandbeans · 18/07/2019 17:02

Dress 2 I love the back
Congratulations

Jointheteam · 18/07/2019 17:02

Dress 2 can also cross at the back.

Dress 2 (altered to fit you) is gorgeous and classy, and as halterneck is your usual style, you’ll feel comfortable and amazing in it.

I think dress 1 looks really cheap and tacky because of the neckline, like a prom dress a 16 year old would choose.

RubertRoo · 18/07/2019 17:03

Dress 2 - it looks beautiful

Jon65 · 18/07/2019 17:03

Both look stunning on you but if its a church I don't think dress 1 is appropriate.

derekmorgan · 18/07/2019 17:05

They both look lovely on you but dress 1 is stunning.
