Dress 2. Way more elegant and unusual. Smile

Dress 2, so beautiful

@Jointheteam, its funny because seeing dress 2 on the website I wouldn't have looked twice but its beautiful on you! The Miley dress is also beautiful and you do have the figure to pull it off, but I think if you arent totally convinced by any of them then probably none of them are the one!

How about something like this? The back would look amazing on you

They're both stunning. If I had to pick one, I'd go for number 2

ThAnks @ & @YesQueen

You’re all so kind especially taking time to look for suggestions.

So the fishtail - I’m not a massive fan. I know they are lovely but there’s just something about the dress which to me looks strange.

@Sexnotgender I like you’re second suggestion (and the back detail of the first). I think it’s a fluted dress? (I’m learning)

I prefer to go into the shop and ask for fluted/a line dress with back detail. I get overwhelmed with all the choice so when I learned that I liked the look of the a line I just asked for an a line with back detail.

I’ll hopefully update with some more pics on the weekend of my try on and maybe a decision. The more I look at dress 2 the more I like it. It’s definitely my style and now I can study it in the photos I can imagine myself on the day in that.

I love dress two, once it's been fitted to you. Dress one didn't enhance your figure, it seemed a bit scant, somehow. Dress two is lovely, elegant and opulent.

I'm not keen on the boobage on dress 1.

I would keep looking. You'll look amazing in anything as your figure is great.

I still like dress 2 but not with the crossed straps in the back or the cut out bit.

If you're not totally in love with it keep looking until you find one you love. Whatever you choose, you have an amazing figure and will look fantastic.

Dress 1 is lovely at back but the front is horrible. Dress 2 looks lovely on you but I don't particularly like the style of the dress. It's a bit boring.
I like dress 3 but difficult to say without seeing it on you.

I like dress 4 and 5 too!

I think the train on dress two is too round
If it could be longer (and thin eel it'd suit your body shape and the dress better.

Ok I’ve changed my mind - dress 2.

Dress 1 looks amazing but I agree with a PP that it’s a bit Love Island.

2 is different, stylish, more classy. Less likely to age also I think whereas maybe dress 1 will look very 2019. I personally wouldn’t jazz up the belt and I’d be tempted to remove it all together but I hate diamanté and think it looks pretty tacky.

Dress one looks a teeny bit trashy. Dress two looks more elegant. But keep looking.

Would like the material of dress 1 in the style of dress 2 with straight back.

I don't like the deep plunge on dress one, it's just a bit too much for me.

You look amazing in everything I suspect but option one is a proper wow dress IMO!

You'd walk down the aisle in that and your groom will take a look back and see you and think FUCK ME IVE DONE WELL Smile

I think you should keep looking.

Dress one skirt swamps you and is too low cut.

Dress two is stylish but again v big skirt.

Dress 3 skirt looks like it’d work better for your slim figure, but dislike that has lots of detail on the top half and plain on the skirt.

Shame dress 3 wouldn't let you take pictures, it's stunning.
