How do you finally decide on the dress?

I can't decide on what type of dress to go for or what suits me.
Anyone else switch constantly thinking between styles of dresses?
Currently switching from classy elegant style to unique different dresses and no idea how to narrow down as I like all dresses!
At this rate I will be wearing 3/4 on the day as I can't decide Smile

Does anyone know what style a thin on top and thin waist and bust but bigger on hips and legs style would suit?

Have you tried lots on? I ended up with something I would have never thought of as I had a preconceived idea of what o liked but it turned out it didn’t suit me. Go to lots of dress shops and see what you feel best in.

I do think getting people’s opinions help. They see you how others see you.
I also think that for some reason we invariably end up in dresses that don’t really suit us. Stunning dresses in their own right but wrong for personality and shape. Maybe because wedding dresses are so unique.

As long as you really like the one you end up wearing it won’t matter that you had 8 others you also liked.

I agree with PP have you tried these on or just looked at them?
A massive difference on how you see it then.

You sound pear shaped like me. I went dress shopping a few months ago. I heard there was a sale on in a shop by me and after trying one dress on ( it was gorgeous but too small) I tried a similar style in a bigger size and bought it. It looks amazing on a pear shaped body as you can see the smaller waist and then curves for the bum and thighs.

Tbh it's the detail on the back of the dress that sold me. You need to have an idea in your head first and if you try dresses in like that and don't actually like it. Try something completely different. You may find it's perfect for you

@NetflixCompleted agree with the PPs. You need to take someone you trust out with you abs try lots on.

You'll get a fell for what suits you abs what doesn't and it's not always the dress that you think you'll want that looks the best.
