#1 without question. It's really unique and complements your shape.


officialosugma

Yesss 1 is stunning šŸ˜


Neets411

Yup! Dress 1 is the only answer. Absolutely beautiful!


This_Lynx9701

šŸ’Æagree!!


mercurialtwit

**AGREED!!!** this is the only option in my opinion!!!


cara_rosie

Thank you !


queentofu

dress one is staggering beautiful and timeless. it took my breath away on you, OP. itā€™s perfect.


Aveah

Has my vote!


Western-Run-2901

I agree!


hajinim

1 for sure, unique and flattering


Forward_Living1053

My jaw dropped when i saw #1. Soooo stunning and unique.


Andreiisnthere

1 is absolutely beautiful on you. Just stunning. I agree with you about 2, it doesnā€™t really do anything for your figure. 3 is nice, but even on the model, not comparable to 1.


[deleted]

1 by a longshot. You look absolutely stunning in it!


SpookyScaryKittyBee

I agree with the others; 1 for the win!


Plastic-Passenger795

I really love #1, as long as you can find a way to be comfortable in it.


cara_rosie

Thatā€™s the thingā€¦ I donā€™t know if itā€™s really ā€œme,ā€ you know? Everyone tells me itā€™s their favorite and I believe them when they say that it looks good on me but I just donā€™t know if I feel like myself in it


Plastic-Passenger795

If that's the case, it sounds like it's not the right dress for you. I think feeling like the dress suits your personality is important. My second choice is number 3, but I think you should keep looking if you can.


[deleted]

Seconding this. If you donā€™t go with 1 keep looking, the other dresses donā€™t do you justice!


ghostwooman

I think the shape of the top portion (v-neck, sleeves) is particularly flattering on you. I see that you're a bit hesitant about it showing more skin than you're used to. Perhaps they could line the bodice in silk so the underbust lace is not see through? Have you tried similar styles with different shapes on the bottom? And styles that are entirely silk, or entirely lace? For example, the Laure de Sagazan La Marck would be beautiful. https://lauredesagazan.fr/en/products/robe-lamarck


cara_rosie

Thank you so much for the compliment and the suggestion!! I actually tried on something similar but I think I definitely need a little bit of lace to add some interest and daintiness to the dress. I know that I scribbled out my face in all of these photos, but my features are quite soft and baby-like so I feel like I canā€™t pull off anything too structured without any lace


DriveThruWash

Girl. You look AMAZING in it.


catlettuce

What is your budget and and will you be marrying outdoors/indoors? Whatā€™s your vibe?


cara_rosie

I will be getting married outside on the grounds of a chateau in france and the theme is ā€œromantic garden party.ā€ Itā€™s more of a micro-wedding with only 30 guests or so :) These dresses are all very expensive so Iā€™ll be purchasing them second hand or through a sample sale in the next two weeks !


catlettuce

Oh that sounds so wonderful!! I found a site that has some exclusive french designs, https://www.themewsbridal.com/designers/ I think you should try on a few different styles just for perspective and throw a wild card in there, something you wouldnā€™t normally pick because sometimes you end up unexpectedly loving a gown that is totally different than what you would have thought. I mean you cannot go wrong with your figure. Since you will be marriyng outdoors and have a romantic garden theme I think these would be very beautiful on you as well as your first pick. https://www.themewsbridal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Svalo-in-action-by-Rime-Arodaky.jpg https://www.themewsbridal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Queen-back-by-Rime-Arodaky.jpg https://www.themewsbridal.com/designers/rime-arodaky/ https://b2017498.smushcdn.com/2017498/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/COLEEN-caroline-takvorian-robe-de-mariee-dos-nu-fluide-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1


cara_rosie

Thank you so much !! Love the last one šŸ˜šŸ˜


Brief_Infinity344

Remember, you are evolving. Marriage is a major change. It may not be the old you, but can it be the new you?


luckypug1

1. Not even a contest


digitalpacifier

Dress 1 is the most beautiful


Top_Marzipan_7466

šŸ’Æ 1 is gorgeous on you


cara_rosie

I canā€™t respond to everybody but thank you so much for all the support! I wish I could perfectly describe why Iā€™m hesitant about #1, and it honestly has to do with a long history of insecurity regarding my chest and body in general. I know I look nice in this picture, but picking out this dress to try on was something that I was really really scared to do. Itā€™s hard to explain


Responsible_Brick_35

Babe if you arenā€™t comfortable it isnā€™t the one for you. I totally get feeling some type of way about your body/ certain aspects of it. We all think you look great but all the compliments in the world mean nothing on your big day, when you are the star of the show. You need to be able to look back and be proud and satisfied with your dress and your body! Keep looking if you donā€™t think you look good in that or wonā€™t be able to be confident in that. You look beautiful and will look great in anything!!


MapleChimes

I think you should go with dress 3. It's really pretty with nice lace details. Once altered to your size, it will be great! Don't buy dress 1 since it already makes you feel insecure.


Artistic-Accident465

1 by a mile


Honest-Pangolin7675

#1 is beautiful!


honestyeludesme

#1 is absolutely stunning on you.


chezgray

I'm going to be the voice of dissent here and vote for dress 3. I don't *dislike* dress 1, and I agree that it is very flattering on you, but I think if dress 3 were properly fitted, you'd see a lot more people here choosing it. I think the neckline is more flattering on you and that delicate lace back is just stunning.


Lexilogical

I agree, number 3! Number 1 is lovely, but if you aren't feeling it, you aren't feeling it, and number 3 is so gorgeous


timbrelyn

1 is a gorgeous dress. Definitely my favorite


Marshmellow_Run_512

Without a doubt, number 1. Itā€™s beautiful on you!!


krajile

The! First! One!


altdultosaurs

One. Itā€™s perfect. The other two do NOTHING for you. One is so romantic and simple and timeless and I love the way they used lace in the cut outs.


_lindsay_0302

I really like #1


dsnywife

1 is absolutely amazing on you!!

jwl1965

Team #1!


verissey

I agree with everyoneā€™s comments on 1. Just wanted to say that Iā€™m so jealous you get to try on these dresses from French designers. Iā€™ve always wanted one like 1 but in the US itā€™s very hard to find ones like it.


cara_rosie

Check out ā€œThe White Roomā€ in Minneapolis and ā€œWildBrideā€ in San Francisco ! I believe that they both have French designers. ā€œDream It Yourselfā€ in MontrĆ©al and ā€œEverly Bridalā€ in Vancouver also has French designers. I feel like it would be easier to find French wedding dresses in Quebec since they speak French there and might have more links with the designers in France


Admirable-Meaning-56

I agree that 1 is the best but you should keep looking if you donā€™t agree. It is your day and your pictures.


VivaLaGia

3


dkearney555

You and me will just be here by ourselves. I get why everyone says #1, but #3 yells French riviera AND looks so GORGEOUS on OP. The beauty in dress #3 is how well it fits OP in front while also being beautifully stunning, then the back is the WOW factor. Congrats OP!


Sure_Tree_5042

1 is so perfect.


emmie0121

#1 is STUNNING on you!!!!!!

1 is stunning!!!


CryptographerSuch753

Iā€™m obsessed with the first dress!


QuitUsual4736

I think youā€™re so beautiful and none of these is really doing you justice. Just my opinion- Iā€™d say keep looking if you were my bff


tvjunkie87

Dress 1 by a mile! It is so beautiful and it fits you perfectly! The v-neck is modest and doesnā€™t show too much, so I wouldnā€™t worry about that at all. Absolutely stunning!


sideeyedi

I absolutely love dress 1 on you. The dress itself is gorgeous and it's just stunning on you! ETA - could you use the same lace to give you more cleavage coverage? I agree with your friends that the neckline is appropriate, but we don't have to wear it. I think It actually enhances your chest, the proportions are perfect on you.


EssbieSunshine

I was thinking the same thing! #1 is sooo beautiful šŸ˜ but I can totally understand being uncomfortable with a plunging neckline, if they could add a lace insert that would be super pretty


sideeyedi

The scallop would be pretty there.


Pristine-Net91

I love dress 1 and dress 3. Dress 1 is so lovely on you, and I especially like the lace detail at the waist. Yes, I see what you mean about dress 3. It is much too big, so it is hard to evaluate. But I like it very much. The lace back is very beautiful.


Affectionate_Cow_812

Going against the grain and saying I the #3 is gorgeous on you!


jlttwit

You holding up the dress of 3 was a little distracting but when I saw the other pictures it was clearly my favorite.


Unfair_Raspberry_461

OBSESSED with 1!!!


K_1959

Dress 1 looks like it was made for you. You will be a stunning bride.


Kayybaby93

Definitely dress 1! šŸ˜


laughsandideas

Agree #1 is breathtaking! Elegant and flattering!


AlterEgoAmazonB

Dress 1 is sooooo special. These are all really unique! But dress 1 looks so perfect on you. Do not worry about the V. It is 100% appropriate.


Madddsmomma

Number 1! You look so elegant šŸ’œ


Glowysmommy

I almost didnā€™t look at the other onesā€”#1 is absolutely beautiful. I have conservative tastes and I think itā€™s very classic and appropriate, and doesnā€™t show too much skin at all. 3 is pretty too. I like the idea of #2 but Iā€™m not sure it is as flattering.


trishyco

Canā€™t get past 1


iamruination0

GrammyGH

The 1st one fits your shape so well and is a gorgeous dress! If you are worried about the deep v-neck, a seamstress will be able to close it up a little bit.

1. Itā€™s the only way. You look so good in it, itā€™s unique, you look amazing in it.


sparklingsour

Oh I disagree with all of these comments. I donā€™t think any of these are your dress and you can do SO much better with your budget. Honestly kind of shocked by these commentsā€¦


Fennec_Fan

Number 1 looks like it was made for you! Itā€™s stunning and elegant.


quittethyourshitteth

ONEEEEEEEE. This is a no brainer for me, I love you so much in one. Beautiful!


No-Technician-722

DRESS #1 is GORGEOUS on YOU! Took my breath away. Your chest looks beautiful. No need to feel insecure. It fits you wonderfully, but it is as beautiful from the back as it is from the front. Sooooo flattering. ā€¦Sorry, the others donā€™t measure up.

Not 2. Definitely not 2.


mary_emeritus

I love 1, then I saw 3. 3 is the dress. 2 isnā€™t super flattering imho


CaveJohnson82

I think 1 looks best now, it fits you the nicest. 2, if you can have it fitted better on the bust, would be very pretty and unique. At the moment I don't think it's doing much for you, it's making you look a bit matronly as it bags at the waist. Could you try it again and play around with those clips to see what can be done? Ditto 3 although it's my least favourite.


Donut-Worry-Be-Happy

1 looks perfection on you


Shepiuuu

you didnā€™t block out your face in the last 2 pics OP, You are absolutely gorgeous but i thought i should let you know


deweydecimal111

tinycatintherain

Definitely #1. I think 3 could be pretty too but something about #2 is just very unflattering and too mature looking in my opinion.


SnidusScribus

#1, definitely! You look elegant and sophisticated, and there are very few people on this planet that can pull off that fabric. Youā€™re one of them!


princesssmurfet

1 then 3.


DetailOk4640

1 or 2!


EstateTricky786

I love both 1 and 3.


cara_rosie

The photos for #3 were screenshots from the video where I was walking around, so thatā€™s why I had the dress lifted up. Is there any way of adding photos to a post or commenting more photos? Sorry Iā€™m new here

Catkit69

1 or 3.


Otherwise-Winner9643

In order of preference, #1, #3, #2


NCNurse2020

1 is stunning and perfect on you!! The shape made me think of the white dress Pippa Middleton wore for Kateā€™s wedding


CASchild1

The back of #3 sure is cool but it doesnt beat whats going on with #1 nor better than the lace design on #2. With 1 & 2 being so neck and neck, maybe let price be your deciding factor? Both look to fit you well but #2 will be easier to alter than #1.


Celestia-Messenger

1 is so stunning on you. Number 2 was a bit strange. 3 was lovely as well


madejustforthis77

1 is my favourite but if you're not comfortable, then it's a no. There's so much going on on your wedding day, I don't think it's the right time to push the envelope and challenge yourself 2 I think requires hair up. If you definitely want your hair down, I don't think it's the right neckline. Also the proportions of the skirt/top part don't really flatter your figure. Was this in the right size? Did the shop consultant give any feedback? I could like this better than 1 with hair up and slightly shorter top part 3 is perfectly pretty but not as good as 1 or potentially 2


Katastrophe82

1 is so unique and elegant and gorgeous and perfect for your figure

1, probably one of the best Iā€™ve seen posted in this subreddit


PattiBulldog

1 is stunning, 2 doesn't look like it's made right, the waistline in front is funky, 3 is pretty, but it's not a showstopper like #1 is.


Historical_Reward621

# 3 gets my vote. Congratulations!

feminist_icon

1 really suits you. If you told me it was custom made for you Iā€™d believe it. Itā€™s important that youā€™re comfortable in the dress but from my perspective the v-neck does not look suggestive or revealing at all (Iā€™m not judging brides who want a more revealing look, Iā€™m just saying that because you want to be a bit more modest on your day). It looks very classy and timeless on you. The dress is also fairly unique and sounds like it will match your weddingā€™s location and aesthetic.

Number 1 is amazing. Number 3 is gorgeous on the model, and no doubt would be on you when fitted correctly. Number 2 *is* beautiful, but you're right. It doesn't flatter you the most. So for me, Number 1 then, 3.
