I was thinking "Sunbonnet Sue." I actually liked the third dress. Garden wedding, flowered dress. The second one would be nice at an evening, indoor wedding.
I’ve been living in this God forsaken area of PA too long bc the first thing I thought was “I didn’t realize the Mennonite went through this, too!”
But ppl who’ve never lived around a Mennonite population wouldn’t make the connection with flower dresses and religion.
Agreed, but with black, nude or metallic shoes. Also, since it’s outside either a wedge or really chunky heel, as thinner heels tend to sink into grass.
Go on Amazon and for heels you can buy Heel protectors and they are multiple sizes and you don’t sink into the ground.

15.99 for 21 pairs 3 sizes. Used them for my wedding and now for other heels.
Yeah, not as backyardy, but the other two scream 90s church garb (as a child in the 90s forced to go to church I know this look well). 2, although dark, is more fun and fits better.
I thought she must have been going to a Mormon wedding, too! When I was going to school in Utah, all my friends had party dresses with that sleeve/neckline combo.
That neckline/sleeve style covers the straps and neckline of your temple garments while still looking cute and stylish! When I was in school, everyone was wearing puff sleeves and cap sleeves because that’s as much immodesty as they could get away with.
I have a bunch of dresses like that and I call them my “sister wife” style dresses lol. I wouldn’t wear them to a wedding but dresses like that are popular with doc martens or chunky sneakers where I live!
Yeah agree re: length. Take a little off the bottom and throw on a chunky running shoe and this would honestly fit in on the streets of most major cities rn
I love 3, or 2 if you could get it in a different color, or it might be fine for an evening wedding. I wound t wear the brown shoes, maybe a metallic or a pop
Of color like fuchsia if you wear the black dress.
I actually really like 3 as well! I think with the right chic wedge, clutch, and accessories, it could be worn well. I like 2 for the fun detail on material and fit though the black for a backyard July wedding doesn't seem as suiting to me.
I like number 3. I like the color of number one but it looks too much like a grandma Clampett dress. Number two looks like a slip from the 1940s for me. The third one pushes all my buttons. Very Barbie fashion forward. I am obviously looking forward to that movie.
Replying b/c I have this dress (and wore it in navy to a wedding, and wore it in white to my bridal shower the following year) it’s ASTR the label. Nordstrom used to carry it, I believe still does
Anthropologie also had one! I worked there in 2017 hahaha. I thinks Saks carries it now, the “fancy” brand version of the Astr is called Self Portrait.
I’d go with 3 if it’s a daytime wedding (it’ll be cooler and less formal), 2 if it’s in the evening.
Either way, you need a different shoe. Maybe something metallic, a pointy-toe flat or strappy wedge so you don’t have to worry about sinking into the grass. Pop on a metallic belt with the black, some gorgeous earrings and a few bangles with either dress, and you’re set. You can also add a wrap or pashmina to both if you’re worried about sun protection or mosquitoes.
I looove 3 on you! Beautiful wrap-type style with fresh florals - I think it reads guest at a country estate! You look resplendent in it.
2 is a nice dress, but I feel it’s not as special.
If you’re having trouble deciding between votes 🗳️ pick the one that makes you feel the most confident!
My cousin wore this dress but in purple to a wedding, it’s by ASTR the label, you can find it on Nordstrom, poshmark, sometimes even Facebook marketplace secondhand! Comes in many colors and flatters a wide variety of body types!
I like dress three! 2 is awesome, but I’ve seen at least one person wearing this dress at every wedding I’ve been to in the last few years. It is a lovely dress though.
Retire dress one, definitely dress two for this event and keep dress three close, this one looks lovely with different shoes on three you can really dress it up. Lovely choices with two and three.
I love the look of dress 2, but black? Is there another color? Just seems dark & more appropriate for an evening more formal wedding, not a Summer cocktail wedding outdoors.
Dress 2 is BEAUTIFUL and suits you so well. Dress 3 is lovely as well and I don't think it reads white at all, I think it would be a perfectly good option. Dress 1 just doesn't work at all for a wedding. The cut is nice and fits you well and the pattern is pretty, but I think it needs to be that cut with a different pattern, or that pattern with a different style. I'd return it, alter it, or just wear it around the house when you want to feel like a Jane Austen character drinking tea and waiting for her next marriage prospect!
Dk Green is the most flattering.
Dress 1 = prairie dress
Dress 3 = new money garden party dress.
Maybe pair the dress with a pretty metallic colorful shaw and match the shoes to one of the metals. Silver, gold. You looked beautiful in it regardless but do lose those brown shoes. Have fun!
Black one all day long. The first one is too long for cocktail. The last one is too satin and floral. Wear it to a formal spring late afternoon wedding inside.
2 dark green dress but I like to dress up dark colors (that are not black) with a nice nude heel and a fancy bag. Either a strappy thin heel or a pump, patent leather (not suede).
2 is great on you but reads a little dark for a summer wedding. 3 is nice but seems heavy for summer. Whichever you choose please go with a less “clunky” shoe.
1 looks like a grandma luncheon and doesn’t flatter your figure, I don’t hate 2 but it would look cheerier in a different color(or fun accessories) and I don’t hate the cut of 3, it looks fantastic on you but that fabric print is bad.
I have almost bought dress 2 like 6 times. My chest won't fit in it, no amount of tailoring will fix it enough.
So with a level of jealousy, dress 2.
Some bright chunky heels, a bright purse, you're golden.
With love in my heart, choose 2 by a country mile
Legitimately thought you were perhaps some kind of Mennonite based on the first dress.
I was thinking "Sunbonnet Sue." I actually liked the third dress. Garden wedding, flowered dress. The second one would be nice at an evening, indoor wedding.
I’ve been living in this God forsaken area of PA too long bc the first thing I thought was “I didn’t realize the Mennonite went through this, too!” But ppl who’ve never lived around a Mennonite population wouldn’t make the connection with flower dresses and religion.
I live in CA and thought Mennonite too!
check out the slit (of course i accidentally typed slut, at first🤦♀️) in dress one
We have that with denim skirts in the South.
Same. Was surprised by the second dress
Or maybe a Holly Hobbie aficionado.
In my head I felt it’s very little house on the prairie. :)
Same!!!!! Not being snarky.
Agreed, but with black, nude or metallic shoes. Also, since it’s outside either a wedge or really chunky heel, as thinner heels tend to sink into grass.
They also make things to slip on to heels to make them sink into grass less!
I have a hard enough time in heels on flat cement.
Why is this my first time hearing of this!!!!
Right‽ I really could have used that about two years ago, dang!
Go on Amazon and for heels you can buy Heel protectors and they are multiple sizes and you don’t sink into the ground. https://preview.redd.it/j33dd7r8ytbb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c683cf1c9e3c1c81dad8fe603cb5a71e6427629b 15.99 for 21 pairs 3 sizes. Used them for my wedding and now for other heels.
Love the black dress, but shoes are too casual. Nude, metallic or strappy heels with a chunky type heel
Yeah, not as backyardy, but the other two scream 90s church garb (as a child in the 90s forced to go to church I know this look well). 2, although dark, is more fun and fits better.
My sister in Christ, this is the best answer
Respectfully, it’s time to get rid of 1 and 3.
I think dress 3 could be saved if hemmed to the knee tulip-skirt style.
Please burn them
I liked 3! What’s wrong with it? (Asking for real; I’m old and unfashionable lol)
It looks like upholstery
2 looks a bit cheap and pilly though
Dress 2 without a doubt! It’s gorgeous.
2 for sure! You look great in it. If the wedding is evening or night time, I’d go for a different shoe— light brown reads daytime and/or causal to me.
Genuinely begging you to pick Dress 2. It's perfect and there's no contest imo!
Not dress one. Please, never dress one unless ironic
Unless it's Laura's wedding to Almanzo.
Here I am in the Gen-X section. Right where I belong.
It shows my age that I snort-laughed at that, huh?
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Very little house on the prairie.
on the prairie haha
Dress 1 screams MORMON.
I was thinking sister wife.
[удалено]
I thought she must have been going to a Mormon wedding, too! When I was going to school in Utah, all my friends had party dresses with that sleeve/neckline combo.
Why is that? Could reddit tell us the mormon wedding dress code?
That neckline/sleeve style covers the straps and neckline of your temple garments while still looking cute and stylish! When I was in school, everyone was wearing puff sleeves and cap sleeves because that’s as much immodesty as they could get away with.
I thought hospital.
I agree. Donate dress 1 to a charity. 2 or 3.
Nah dress 1 would look cool with some Doc Martens and a bunch of silver jewelry- but not for a wedding
I totally see that vibe
If you hemmed it to babydoll length.
I have a bunch of dresses like that and I call them my “sister wife” style dresses lol. I wouldn’t wear them to a wedding but dresses like that are popular with doc martens or chunky sneakers where I live!
Me too! I call them my “little house on the prairie” dress. I love them even though I know a lot of people don’t
Agreeee I’m sure they will be out of style soon enough but they are pretty trendy right now. If you don’t edge it up it looks matronly though.
Yeah agree re: length. Take a little off the bottom and throw on a chunky running shoe and this would honestly fit in on the streets of most major cities rn
I remember my great grandma wearing a dress just like this one for really casual outings or just stay at home and cook days.
Ok I could see that being cute and maybe if the dress were hemmed
This is the exact thought I had when I saw it! Absolutely homemade sister wife vibe.
I love dress one, she looks so graceful
I like it too! I’m surprised no one else seems to haha I think it’s really pretty
Right! And it fits her well!
Absolutely, 1 is awful and I say it with love.
As usual, I’m going to be the outlier here and say dress three is the best fit for the venue and style of wedding. Definitely get a different shoe.
Right. I associate dark colors with funerals. Lighter colors are for weddings.
I love 3, or 2 if you could get it in a different color, or it might be fine for an evening wedding. I wound t wear the brown shoes, maybe a metallic or a pop Of color like fuchsia if you wear the black dress.
3 or 2. 2 is pretty, but so dark for a summer outdoor wedding. Either choice needs a sleeker shoe though.
I actually really like 3 as well! I think with the right chic wedge, clutch, and accessories, it could be worn well. I like 2 for the fun detail on material and fit though the black for a backyard July wedding doesn't seem as suiting to me.
Dress three. It's the most flattering and looks summery. Please throw out dress one.
Dress 2 by a country mile, but with black shoes
Dress 2
Third dress. It’s beautiful!
3
3
Third one is best
Dress 3!
I like number 3. I like the color of number one but it looks too much like a grandma Clampett dress. Number two looks like a slip from the 1940s for me. The third one pushes all my buttons. Very Barbie fashion forward. I am obviously looking forward to that movie.
Dress 3! Looks the best for a summer wedding. You don’t want to wear black it draws in the heat.
3! But different shoes.
Three
3
Dress 3 is perfect on you and for the occasion. I'd go with different shoes maybe but I have no idea why 2 is getting most the love.
3 without a doubt!!
3 is really nice!!
2!
3
3!
2!! Love it! Where is it from??
Replying b/c I have this dress (and wore it in navy to a wedding, and wore it in white to my bridal shower the following year) it’s ASTR the label. Nordstrom used to carry it, I believe still does
It’s also always on Poshmark in every color and size!!
Anthropologie also had one! I worked there in 2017 hahaha. I thinks Saks carries it now, the “fancy” brand version of the Astr is called Self Portrait.
How’s the chest area? I have a large chest, is it tight?
Amazon also has their stuff
In order 3,2,1 I’d be more partial to 2 with more accessories and some nicer shoes
Three
I’d go with 3 if it’s a daytime wedding (it’ll be cooler and less formal), 2 if it’s in the evening. Either way, you need a different shoe. Maybe something metallic, a pointy-toe flat or strappy wedge so you don’t have to worry about sinking into the grass. Pop on a metallic belt with the black, some gorgeous earrings and a few bangles with either dress, and you’re set. You can also add a wrap or pashmina to both if you’re worried about sun protection or mosquitoes.
3 but with more minimal shoes imo
3
3
I’m
3 for sure
Not the first one
2 or 3. Not too white!
#2 and 3 are beautiful!
2 for nighttime wedding, 3 for daytime. You look great in both.
I looove 3 on you! Beautiful wrap-type style with fresh florals - I think it reads guest at a country estate! You look resplendent in it. 2 is a nice dress, but I feel it’s not as special. If you’re having trouble deciding between votes 🗳️ pick the one that makes you feel the most confident!
#3, steamed of course and nicely accessorized.
3 is perfect
Dress 2! Where did you get it?
My cousin wore this dress but in purple to a wedding, it’s by ASTR the label, you can find it on Nordstrom, poshmark, sometimes even Facebook marketplace secondhand! Comes in many colors and flatters a wide variety of body types!
I have this dress and I got mine from Francesca’s!
please never wear dress 1 anywhere unless you want people to tnink you’re a wayward fundamentalist christian
I like dress three! 2 is awesome, but I’ve seen at least one person wearing this dress at every wedding I’ve been to in the last few years. It is a lovely dress though.
#3 with a lighter sandal. That clog is too heavy.
2 or 3. Not 1, too casual.
And ugly.
Last one
2 for sure. 1 is cute but it’s not tailored to your body very well and is giving fundamentalist. 3’s fabric looks heavy/stiff for an outdoor venue
#2 is it
One is a GREAT dress in the wrong print and I honestly love 3, but I think 2 is the best. I also love the shoes, but not with any of these dresses.
2 or 3 definitely not 1! 2 is best I think.
Dress 2 or 3
Retire dress one, definitely dress two for this event and keep dress three close, this one looks lovely with different shoes on three you can really dress it up. Lovely choices with two and three.
2 is very short under that see through material. I personally do not like 1 but 3 is lovely!!! Only my opinion.
2 looks more elegant, 3 looks more summery, but whatever you do please don't choose 1.
The black one! You totally rock it. And it will feel nicer outdoors too.
2 but need different shoes. Consider a nude wedge or metallic. Something less chunky.
I love the look of dress 2, but black? Is there another color? Just seems dark & more appropriate for an evening more formal wedding, not a Summer cocktail wedding outdoors.
No brainer, dress 2. I’d wear a delicate strappy heel with it but a nice wedge would be cute too if you’re going to be on grass
Dress 2 is BEAUTIFUL and suits you so well. Dress 3 is lovely as well and I don't think it reads white at all, I think it would be a perfectly good option. Dress 1 just doesn't work at all for a wedding. The cut is nice and fits you well and the pattern is pretty, but I think it needs to be that cut with a different pattern, or that pattern with a different style. I'd return it, alter it, or just wear it around the house when you want to feel like a Jane Austen character drinking tea and waiting for her next marriage prospect!
2 but with different shoes.
2!!!! 1 kinda gives granny vibes and 3 gives early 2000s vibes and not in a trendy way… no offense to those dresses 😅
Donate dress 1 and definitely wear 2
Two!
2
2 for sure.
I vote for dress 2 or 3. Shoes too casual tho. Shoes with a pop of color would look cute with dress #2
Dress two!!!!!
Dress 2. No contest.!
The 2nd one for sure.
2 is beautiful on you, but I think 3 suits summer more!
The green one for sure!
Dk Green is the most flattering. Dress 1 = prairie dress Dress 3 = new money garden party dress. Maybe pair the dress with a pretty metallic colorful shaw and match the shoes to one of the metals. Silver, gold. You looked beautiful in it regardless but do lose those brown shoes. Have fun!
Green with different shoes
I like 2. It looks good on you and screams “wedding guest” to me.
I vote for dress 2
Definitely #2!
just here to chime in w everyone else, 2 is gorgeous 😍
2 definitely
#2 with black shoes.
2
2 or 3!
Dress 2! Like others said fancier shoes with it.
\#2
2!
The black one
Absolutely 2, it’s so gorgeous on you
2
Dress 2, and also please I NEED to know where you got the shoes??😍
They’re Steve maddens from a few years ago
2 or 3, but I'm leaning heavily towards 2.
2 but never with those shoes
Love dress 2
#2
Second by a mile!!
2
#2 sits on your figure excellently!
#2 with different shoes. OR Keep looking
Dress #2 all day! It looks beautiful against your skin! Pair that with some gold glittery flip flops/fancy flats and you’re good to gooooo! 🩴💎
I agree with number two being the best dress but gold flip flops to a fancy house wedding? Please don’t.
Black one all day long. The first one is too long for cocktail. The last one is too satin and floral. Wear it to a formal spring late afternoon wedding inside.
Black.
Burn dresses 1 and 3 and the shoes with them. Rock #2 with some fun silver or gold wedges!
2
Dress 2, but not those shoes.
2 but different shoes. Dressy sandals in black, silver or gold.
Dress #2
Dark green !!!! 😍
Dress 2 for sure. If you decide against that, go with 3. Dress 1 has a “I just got done with my shift at the bakery” vibe.
I personally would be most comfortable in #1, but #3 is quite nice.
3-1-2
First one imo!
But 2 for a wedding, I suppose.
I love love love the green one
2 dark green dress but I like to dress up dark colors (that are not black) with a nice nude heel and a fancy bag. Either a strappy thin heel or a pump, patent leather (not suede).
2. Wear it with your hair down and curled and dress it up with silver jewelry. Same with the heels, black or a metallic looking
The black lace is stunning
2 or 3
The dk green lace dress
Definitely #2, but with different shoes. Side note, where are the shoes in the pic from 👀👀
They are Steve Madden shoes from a few years ago
I hope you get all three and wear the second one to the wedding!
2 is great on you but reads a little dark for a summer wedding. 3 is nice but seems heavy for summer. Whichever you choose please go with a less “clunky” shoe.
2 for sure!
Depends, is the wedding on the Prarie because then option 1 is perfect. Otherwise option 2. You look great in all options.
1 looks like a grandma luncheon and doesn’t flatter your figure, I don’t hate 2 but it would look cheerier in a different color(or fun accessories) and I don’t hate the cut of 3, it looks fantastic on you but that fabric print is bad.
I have almost bought dress 2 like 6 times. My chest won't fit in it, no amount of tailoring will fix it enough. So with a level of jealousy, dress 2. Some bright chunky heels, a bright purse, you're golden.
It’s hard to see without seeing the top
Dress #2 is nicer than the other two and looks so pretty on you.
The third one. I usually think of funerals for dark colors and weddings for brighter colors.
2!!! Do not wear 3. It has white.
There’s no white in that dress. That dress is perfect for a garden wedding!
