Oh it’s not a church, just a hotel but also don’t want to look too sexy or anything.

Better with straight straps at the back imo, as it flatters your amazingly toned, slim back.

As a recent bride I totally feel your pain. Dress shopping can feel very pressurised. I do think that when you know you know though, I feel in love with mine and nothing else would have done.

Personally I’m not keen on the first one- it’s ‘on trend’ and to me is a bit ‘love island/prom’

The second dress is lovely and very classic/unique ‘50’s filmstar’

But you have a lovely figure so can pull both off! Personally I feel like your wedding day isn’t a time to flash your cleavage...but that’s just me

Dress 2, looks very elegant on you. The lacy one is a bit dated imo and doesn't hang well at the front (although you can probably adjust it)

Or lack of cleavage in my case Wink but yeah I agree I think. I loved it in the mirror but when I looked down I just felt like “hmm” because I’m not used to dress 1 style.

I like the third dress the best.

Also op if you're this undecided I think it just means you haven't found the right dress

Can i be really cheeky and ask which designer the second dress is? 😂🙊

Definitely 2. You look fab in both but if I were wearing one I'd be paranoid having such a low cut front even though I have no boobs!

I prefer dress two, it’s beautiful. I don’t like the boob panels on front of dress one, they’re too long or something, too high maybe.

Also I prefer the straight straps at the back of dress two rather than the cross over.

Dress 1 but if have a mesh insert sewn in near the bottom of the deep V. The colour suits you.

Dress 2 doesn't look like its the right fit for your chesticles.


You've an amazing figure like a model so pick what makes you feel the most amazing.

Dress 2 suits you better. Both beautiful but I think that 2 is more flattering. I do love lace though but not keen on the front of that dress.

The back of dress one is gorgeous but the front is awful!

I’m not sure either of those are for you. You have a stunning figure-keep looking!

Oh my good god you look amazing in both of the first two, I love love love them both. I bet you look lovely in the third one also but i prefer the style of the first two.

The first one is probably more predictable but it is beautiful. The second one is more unique and I adore the full skirt. I usually hate that sort of neckline but that dress is gorgeous and it looks perfect on you.

Dress 2 would be my choice.

Dress 2.

Or dress 1 without the plunging neckline.

Jointheteam · 18/07/2019 17:47

Dress 2 can also have the little middle triangle removed. I thought no, prefer it with it in?

@MissRabbitNeedsAHoliday sorry I have no idea what the designer is. I could ask if you really wanted to know?

Much more classic looking with the middle triangle in, it actually totally changes the dress completely without it and its no where near as nice! Ahh no worries, thanks anyway Smile ive told myself not to start dress shopping too early but just really liked that when i saw it!

Dress 1 is pretty but dress 2 is stunning very classy and elegant 😀

Dress 2 is stunning and different. with dress 1 you'll be worrying about flashing your breasts in the low neckline.

100% keep the triangle insert in, otherwise the dress loses its classy vibe. Not sure why anybody would want to flash their midriff on their wedding day?

Dress two with insert and straight (not crossed straps).

Other posters have said 2 swamps you and I'd disagree if it were fitted properly..except for the straps. They are too wide for your frame. To be in proportion they need to be smaller.

Unfortunately for you you'll probably not find a dress that actually looks bad on you so it's really down to what you feel comfortable in (would the deep front of the first make you check where it's lying all day, even though you know you don't need to because it's correctly fitted?).

It isn’t a low neckline - it’s fully covered
