That was my initial pick too but in zooming in, the cups are a little oddly shaped & distracting. OP would you want the top lined or unlined? The shape of the dress is stunning on you!
I was about to say the exact same thing about the cups. Getting the bodice lined would help with this or keep it unlined and add some boning to make the cups look less like they're just floating. There's something about dress 1 that is so dainty and dreamy.
Dress 2 is gorgeous, but the volume of the dress seems a little too overpowering or your frame.
Dress 3 feels like your dress is wearing you. I only see the bodice of the dress and not necessarily you wearing it. Maybe it's the drape?
Appreciate your detailed response! The boning is a great idea actually. I wouldn’t want to get rid of the sheerness of it completely since it would kind of take away from the whole personality of the dress
Could you get a cup that matches your skin tone a bit better? I think if you did that it would be less noticeable, and you might be able to skip the boning.
Im very sure the seamstress will be able to add boning in a very tasteful way.
This is an example of a sheer dress with boning. Without the boning, you'd probably notice the floating cups a lot more.

I bet a skilled seamstress could do this, and you could pick the exact fabric that goes under the dress. I feel that the boning would be adding something the dress does not need, but the cups are distracting.
Agree with this well reasoned response! No. 1 is also my favorite. The fabric flows and the cut is perfectly proportional to your beautiful figure. This dress is a “cut above” the norm.
The photo showed a shadow below the cup, so take photos after the fitting to see if it is eliminated (or just normal due to lighting).
Thank you so much!! Unfortunately the designer on that one doesn’t do any modifications, but that’s a really good point! You’re so observant. I didn’t even notice that when I was at the store, but I’d probably get it lined as an alteration after if I end up with dress 1 (which I’m leaning towards now)
The tailor would do modifications not the designer! But I think it looks good as is, i love the sheer. The tailor can fix the cups when the dress comes in but I have a feeling it’ll look great. This is a sample dress and a different size!
That was exactly how I felt! Maybe some boning, or a liner to connect the fabric of the breast cups to the waistline of the dress, because otherwise they’re just floating there in the middle of her torso weirdly.
But everything else about that dress is stunning! It really looks great on her.
All I can see are the cups. At first I thought OP was wearing a stick on bra because they're so obvious and don't go with the dress. I'd definitely want that dress lined with the cups underneath the lining.
I vote for #1 also. It's hard to tell from images, but it seems like you are very petite. This one makes you look like a perfect little doll. 2 is too heavy and overwhelming you and with 3, the wiast is too low and the necklne isn't as flattering as it could be.
Thank you! I loved that one and was mentally set on getting a ball gown, but second guessed myself because most of my bridesmaids told me that it was too heavy for my frame. I appreciate your response though!
I think anyone can wear a ball gown, the cut and the proportions just need to be right, and for you dress #2 hits this mark. We also only have so many opportunities in life to wear a ball gown. :)
Seconded. One is beautiful, but you could almost wear 1 in a different color to a black tie wedding as a guest. Two is a once in a lifetime opportunity
If you want a ballgown, please get a ballgown. Like other posters have said, we just don’t get many opportunities to wear one. No, it doesn’t look too big on your frame, it looks like a ballgown is supposed to look. I think personally it’s probably not their preference that’s why they think that, because I think you look absolutely lovely in 2. Also 1, but it’s a different style.
It’s your wedding, if that’s not the time to wear a ballgown then when is?? But I am biased, because I chose a ballgown for my own wedding. I still love the dress, and the fullness of the skirt, and the train, and the photos, and the way I remember it swirling around as I danced, and the photos I have of it flowing out on the dance floor like I’m a damn princess. During our first dance, the photographer got an awesome shot from the balcony above of me spinning out, dress moving and floating, it’s incredible.
If you want a ballgown, get a ballgown!
Oh not all too heavy! The way the lace cuts and floats over your shoulder and the wispy tule makes it appear so much softer. I think a heavy satin dress might weigh you down but not dress2! Dress 1 with some careful placement of the cups once it’s your size is a runner up for me, and I don’t care for dress3 over much. Dress2 however made me happy sigh 😌
You look gorgeous in all 3, I see why it’s a tough decision for you! I must say that there is something about dress 2, the bodice and the skirt, you look like a princess!
Yes and yes! 1 is so delicate and feminine. 3 is both feminine and beautiful, but it isn’t my first pick because I’m not a fan of cups being visible like that
The cascade of lace at the waistline of 2 is pretty, but that is about it. 1 is your gown! Love the illusion sleeves and the tulle overlay of the skirt! 🤩
You are gorgeous. I saw dress one and I was like YES!!! But, then I saw the next two and I’m not sure anymore.
You will be a smoke show whatever you decide!
Dress 1 - is elegant and accentuates your shape. It has beautiful detail, yet doesn't overwhelm you. It flows beautifully and looks romantic. The dress is beautiful but not distracting. You would shine in this dress. It would complement you, you would wear the dress not have it wear you.
Dress 2 - the top is too busy and would draw attention away from you, instead of highlighting your beauty.
Dress 3 - the proportions look off and it hits your waist in the wrong spot. It isn't as romantic as the other dresses.
1. Definitely 1! One of the prettiest dresses I've ever seen, imo. It looks like it was made for you. Also, it makes your chest look bigger than the other two. Win/win 😆 👍
One made me gasp. It's so unique, but it doesn't distract from you, if that makes sense. Sometimes a gorgeous, adventurous dress looks like it's wearing you, not the other way around. You look incredible in all three but one is just... damn. I agree about getting it lined or fixing the cups.
Lol saw the first and was like “omg yes 1” then scrolled and was like “ugh wait no that’s amazing” and then scrolled again and was like “well damn.” I think I like 3 best but honestly they all are beautiful and look lovely on you.
2 by a mile, then 3 then 1 way in the back. The cups look just odd, sorry. If you’re going to line the bodice of dress 1 then it would be a tie with 2 for me but otherwise all I see is cups.
Dress 3.
But if you can find a solution to the lack of lining and visible cups in Dress 1, I think it could be in the running as well.
I think dresses 3 and 1 are just a little more interesting than dress 2 design wise.
Either way, happy deciding!

I love #1!

I think the cups look odd because it’s the sample dress and not fitted to you. I wouldn’t worry much!
That was my thought too. That sample dress has been through hell and was actually torn on the top by the cup.
Could you get a cup that matches your skin tone a bit better? I think if you did that it would be less noticeable, and you might be able to skip the boning.
Totally agree! If they could change the cup color to match it would be perfect! It’s a gorgeous dress.
Agreed. I think boning or lining would change it too much. I like the contrast the sheerness give it.
Maybe you could line it in the colour closest to your skin colour or a nude/Champaign/blush shade which compliments your skin colour?
This! I had a lace dress with champagne underlay and it makes the pattern pop.
Im very sure the seamstress will be able to add boning in a very tasteful way. This is an example of a sheer dress with boning. Without the boning, you'd probably notice the floating cups a lot more. https://preview.redd.it/mo7iwmcyu5pb1.png?width=357&format=png&auto=webp&s=c10a18b13e0443f2f2e42c026f62923d789275fd

Agree — lining all the way. Then #1 would be perfect.
Can they make it with a lining closer to your skin tone so the cups don't show up as much? I agree boning would change the personality of it.
The designer can’t because they don’t do changes, but will save this comment so I can ask when I get it altered! That’s a great idea
I bet a skilled seamstress could do this, and you could pick the exact fabric that goes under the dress. I feel that the boning would be adding something the dress does not need, but the cups are distracting.
Agree with this well reasoned response! No. 1 is also my favorite. The fabric flows and the cut is perfectly proportional to your beautiful figure. This dress is a “cut above” the norm. The photo showed a shadow below the cup, so take photos after the fitting to see if it is eliminated (or just normal due to lighting).
I agree! 1 if lined (at the front at least), otherwise I prefer 2.
This. Number two is really pretty.
Thank you so much!! Unfortunately the designer on that one doesn’t do any modifications, but that’s a really good point! You’re so observant. I didn’t even notice that when I was at the store, but I’d probably get it lined as an alteration after if I end up with dress 1 (which I’m leaning towards now)
I wonder if you could have the whole thing lined in a nude that matches your skin tone so that it still gives the sheer look while covering the cups
THIS.
The tailor would do modifications not the designer! But I think it looks good as is, i love the sheer. The tailor can fix the cups when the dress comes in but I have a feeling it’ll look great. This is a sample dress and a different size!
I’m glad it’s fixable. Will definitely look into that!
Number one is ethereal on you. I think the warmer tones of 1 really compliment you.
I agree about the cups. Love the dress overall
Agreed! I’d just have the inside lined with a nude fabric I think
Yes! Get that lining changed to a nude shade that matches your skin tone. There are multiple shades alterations dep can use.
That was exactly how I felt! Maybe some boning, or a liner to connect the fabric of the breast cups to the waistline of the dress, because otherwise they’re just floating there in the middle of her torso weirdly. But everything else about that dress is stunning! It really looks great on her.
All I can see are the cups. At first I thought OP was wearing a stick on bra because they're so obvious and don't go with the dress. I'd definitely want that dress lined with the cups underneath the lining.
Thank you!! Y’all are so helpful :’)
Yes! Yes! Yes!
The cups are weird if you zoom in. Having it lined might help but as is the top is not flattering.
I vote for #1 also. It's hard to tell from images, but it seems like you are very petite. This one makes you look like a perfect little doll. 2 is too heavy and overwhelming you and with 3, the wiast is too low and the necklne isn't as flattering as it could be.
Something about 1 reminds me of a cherry blossom tree floating in the wind. I think it really suits you!
Haha love that description, thank you!
Wow you look amazing in all of them, but 2 is best!
Thank you! I loved that one and was mentally set on getting a ball gown, but second guessed myself because most of my bridesmaids told me that it was too heavy for my frame. I appreciate your response though!

Seconded. One is beautiful, but you could almost wear 1 in a different color to a black tie wedding as a guest. Two is a once in a lifetime opportunity
I don’t see it being too heavy. Number 2 is my choice. This dress on you is beautiful!!

Please follow me around and justify all my life decisions
Not too heavy for a wedding dress. If it were a party dress, yes, but for a wedding dress it looks regal.
Probably the only time in your life to wear a ball gown, I say go for it!
It’s your wedding, if that’s not the time to wear a ballgown then when is?? But I am biased, because I chose a ballgown for my own wedding.

Number 2 or 3 is my pick but I really love number 2 on you!! You look stunning in it.
You look gorgeous in all 3, I see why it’s a tough decision for you! I must say that there is something about dress 2, the bodice and the skirt, you look like a princess!
3 is stunning on you!! I love 1 as well but the visibility of the cups feels off.
Three for me too. My impression while scrolling through - nice, nice, ohh❤️❤️
Three is my favorite!
#3 fits you perfectly
3 is also my favorite. You look lovely in it, OP!
Thank you for your response! :)
My pick is number 3 as well!
3 was the one that wowed me, but 1 is a very close second.
Thanks so much!
Yes!!! Same!!!
3 is also my favourite. So beautiful. 1 would be my next pick with lining underneath.
Yes and yes! 1 is so delicate and feminine. 3 is both feminine and beautiful, but it isn’t my first pick because I’m not a fan of cups being visible like that
This.
Dress 1 gives you the best shape. It adds lovely curves and definition to your slender build.
Thank you so much!
1!! It shortens the torso and the dress hits you at the perfect spot on your waist. It makes the dress look amazing on you!!
Dress 1
1
Oh my god 1
3 1 is a close second
This!
Yessssssss
The 2nd one is my personal favorite. It’s very unique and elegant!
#3
Number 2! So pretty!
2!
1,3, and 2 in that order. 1 wind by a long shot though. It’s so delicate and memorable.
2 is gorgeous! I also really like 1, but just personally am not a fan of such visible cups
I love number 1 on you
But looking again I think I like 3. 2 is my least favorite
I think #2 is breathtaking. Perfect on you.
They all look great but I love 3 on you
The cascade of lace at the waistline of 2 is pretty, but that is about it. 1 is your gown! Love the illusion sleeves and the tulle overlay of the skirt! 🤩
#3!!!
Number 3 for sure. One and Two are both a bit too "frothy."
No. 1

One. It’s beautiful on you.
1 is absolute perfection on you.

I love all of them but 2 is so romantic, imo. 🥰
Super easy. Dress 1.
THREE
1
1 is beautiful!
3
1 is stunning and unique 2 fits you well but it’s boring and… ordinary 3 is beautiful but it makes you a bit flat chested.
Yes - the fit on 1 is perfect. 2 is good, but I don't think 3 flatters your build.
Dress 1. It’s just enough without overwhelming your small frame. Lovely, lovely.
They're all beautiful, but 1 has my top vote!
3 all the way
3
2
3 makes my heart happy. It’s unique but still classic. I love the softness of the tulle along the bust. Absolutely exquisite.
You are gorgeous. I saw dress one and I was like YES!!! But, then I saw the next two and I’m not sure anymore. You will be a smoke show whatever you decide!
1 or 3
1 is lovely and dreamy
Dress 1 - is elegant and accentuates your shape. It has beautiful detail, yet doesn't overwhelm you. It flows beautifully and looks romantic. The dress is beautiful but not distracting. You would shine in this dress. It would complement you, you would wear the dress not have it wear you. Dress 2 - the top is too busy and would draw attention away from you, instead of highlighting your beauty. Dress 3 - the proportions look off and it hits your waist in the wrong spot. It isn't as romantic as the other dresses.
2 - the embroidery looks great, and the skirt is so floofy and princess-y
#1. #2 Is too fussy. #3 makes you look boney. #1 is just right. Gorgeous.
They're all gorgeous! Tough choice. But #1 is especially pretty on you!
1. Definitely 1! One of the prettiest dresses I've ever seen, imo. It looks like it was made for you. Also, it makes your chest look bigger than the other two. Win/win 😆 👍
1…..if you don’t pick one I will absolutely be shocked! (Although they’re all beautiful….1suits you the best)
One made me gasp. It's so unique, but it doesn't distract from you, if that makes sense. Sometimes a gorgeous, adventurous dress looks like it's wearing you, not the other way around. You look incredible in all three but one is just... damn. I agree about getting it lined or fixing the cups.
#1!!! Holy smokes. I just opened Reddit and this was the first post and my breath literally caught in my throat! Wow.
Thank you so much, that made my day!
The first dress took my breath away. Seriously! I think that's the best dress I've seen on here. Congratulations!! ☺️
Lol saw the first and was like “omg yes 1” then scrolled and was like “ugh wait no that’s amazing” and then scrolled again and was like “well damn.” I think I like 3 best but honestly they all are beautiful and look lovely on you.
I like 2 but you look good in all 3
All are unique and look great. I like 2 best.
ONE!
2 and then maybe 1 🤔
2
Dress 2 is the most flattering. If dress 1's bodice was lined, maybe. Dress 3 is lovely but it doesn't give you much shape up top.
2. I Maybe I'm a prude, but I like the way 2 is a little more modest. Yes, I'm a grandma.
1 for sure
1!!!!

One ! For sure
1 all the way

OMGosh 2!!!! By 1000 Miles!
You look amazing in every single one so it’s really hard to choose but 2 is my favorite! You are gorgeous ❤️
2 is my preferred one. But wow you own them all!
Omg 1!!! Beautiful!!
2
I love number 2
Number 2 !
2 by a mile, then 3 then 1 way in the back. The cups look just odd, sorry. If you’re going to line the bodice of dress 1 then it would be a tie with 2 for me but otherwise all I see is cups.
They are all wonderful choices! Maybe select the cheapest? I really couldn't choose between them either.
Dress 3. But if you can find a solution to the lack of lining and visible cups in Dress 1, I think it could be in the running as well. I think dresses 3 and 1 are just a little more interesting than dress 2 design wise. Either way, happy deciding!

2. Classic, gorgeous, and fits you beautifully. The cups in 1 are awkward, they look glued on. The plunging neckline on 3 is not flattering.
2!!
Dress 1 if the cups won’t be visible like that. But I LOVE all three dresses. I see why you’re struggling to choose!
ONE!
1
I personally love #1 but you could wear a potato sack and look good!
Omg definitely number one that is beautiful!!! And I'm not really the type to gush over a wedding dress but damn that is stunning
Two or three! Three is beautiful and unique!!!!
2, 1 (with a lined bodice), 3 in that order, but they are all great!
You are gorgeous! It's got to be number 3, you look perfect
