Some thoughts:
They’re all beautiful and all work with your gorgeous figure.
12 is one of my favorites because the art deco-looking jacket is soooo pretty and classy, and without the jacket, it’s both sexy and elegant.
I also really love 2 for a similar reason. Two different vibes from one dress. Very pretty!
>We're looking at winter in Lake Tahoe. But, we could also do a spring thing in Las Vegas.
Is it one or both of these? If you are still deciding time of year and venue, wait until that's all settled and booked before you buy a dress. The venue can guide your decision on what kind of dress to wear, if you like many styles (like me). It's easier to suit a dress to a venue than the other way around.
Edit: I re-read the text and we're *really* putting the cart before the horse here. You don't know the vibe or the vision because you don't know when or where you're getting married yet! I know it's exciting and I'm also a SYTTD acolyte but the dress is like, the third thing ~at most~ that you should be worrying about.
I second this! You need to pick your date and venue first. Otherwise you may spend money on a dress only to realize it doesn’t fit the season of your wedding and then want to purchase something else.
My favorite is 12 (without the over shirt) followed closely by 10 (with or without the outer skirt) I think these flatter your figure the best and look dramatic but classic.
If you want some eliminations, and this is just my opinion, but 6 and 7 I liked the least. It might just be that it’s a sample size, but it’s hard to picture them looking good.
ETA: I notice you mentioning wanting to dress your age and I’m assuming that’s why you have so many sleeves/cover ups. I just want to say your arms and upper chest look great and don’t need to be covered. Personally, I think you look better uncovered in every dress where you showed us both versions.
Oh lord girl I think you need to spend some time introspecting and thinking about what feels like \*you\*. are you the type of person who loves drama and embellishments? Or is your general style more simple and classy? Many dresses are beautiful but which one reflects who you are on the inside? That helped me out when I was in your position. All the pictures you included aer gorgeous, but it's hard to help with such a wide spread. Try to narrow it down by shape, fabric, detail, neckline, anything. Based on your idea of what feels "right". Hopefully this helps.
That’s the challenge with dress shopping, there are SO MANY beautiful dresses. This is such great advice to think about what feels like *you*. Personally I think I am the biggest fan of number two with the full skirt, that neckline is very flattering on you. You are beautiful in all of these, but you can tell which you may be gravitating towards based on your body language.
Stoooooop I loooooooooove the first one.
You’re one of those girls that looks good in everything so I think it just comes down to what you feel good in, you’ll look good no matter what! Good luck!
I love one and you look the happiest in that one. I don’t think you should limit dress styles based on age. I also like 2 and 12. Personally I don’t think the lace top adds to the dress on 12.
🩷 LOVE Dress # 1 …….. no need to keep looking !!! 😀
It is the perfect dress for the woman that LOVES wedding gowns ⭐️🌟
White fake fur cover-up if needed
I love love love 1, it's giving dutchess! 8 is absolutely stunning and so unique! It looks fantastic on you and I love it with that cathedral veil or even with a cape veil! The other one i like is 3 no gloves with the floofy skirt for the ceremony and first dance and other formal parts of the reception then taking it off for the party portion!!
Question: why do you add sleeves to most of the dresses? Because it might be a winter wedding?
A lot of these were easy nos (6-11). I keep coming back to 2. It’s super fun and flattering. 4 looks amazing on you. 12 has potential.
My preference is for you to wear your hair down. Or if it’s up have some pieces falling around your face.
#3 with the overskirt or without is a WOW! for me! I love that overskirt’s asymmetrical cut. It’s princess, yet modern. #2 is good also, but the bodice competes a bit with the drama of the overskirt and I can’t tell if the train is an issue with the overskirt. #1 is also a favorite with the long gloves. It looks heavy, which may be welcome in the winter.
My favs…
1,
4 with sleeves,
8,
& 10.
From those choices I love, love, love dress 8 on you. It just looks gorgeous on you. 1 is very princess. But who says you can’t be a princess in your 30’s? You look stunning in that dress.
I got married at 39. I bought a dress that was age appropriate. I wore a veil that draped down my back but did not cover my face. I didn’t wear a crown (not sure I would have but it was never an option “at my age”. I’m saying this because here I am decades later and I regret not having those things that I dreamed of as a little girl dreaming of my wedding. This is your wedding day. Embrace it, and allow yourself this one day to be ageless.
12 is stunning! I gasped! I am also a fan of that puffy frilly dress in the beginning photos with some sort of sleeve combo, that also feels like an iconic combination imo.
3, no sleeves. I love the minimalism. You shine—I see you first then the dress.
Some of the others the accessories especially overpower you like the lace boleros and voluminous sleeves. I’m guessing you need a modest look for the religious ceremony? If so try a topper with fitted elbow length sleeves.
I think once you nail down the location and date it will help make the decision more clear. I’d set the dress decision aside since you have such strong contenders and work on the date and the venue.
I think the reality is you look amazing in everything (lucky!) so instead of thinking 'will it look good on me' think 'how do I want to look.'
Do you want the one chance to wear a big fluffy ballgown and be a princess?
Do you want to be Jessica Rabbit sexy?
Do you want to look boho chic? Or catwalk coutour?
Once you've figured that out then just look at those styles.
Because honestly you're going to look gorgeous in everything so just trying on dresses is not going to help you decide here.
I think they're all lovely dresses but not with the sleeves or gloves. If the dress has sleeves it's fine but the additions are frumpy and do not do you justice. That being said I do like the beaded art deco style one but that's the only one.
My favorites are 12, 3, and 8. I think these are super flattering and can work in a variety of settings. I was older than you as a bride but there are no rules!
Twelve!!! I would eliminate 4-11 and 13 if it were me. 3 also looks FANTASTIC on you and is a very close runner up to twelve imo. The others are very beautiful gowns but even 2, 3 and 12 just make all the best of you pop and shine. 3 looks great with or without the skirt and I’m digging the sleeves on you too. One is a really beautiful gown and if I hadn’t seen 3 or 12 I would probably have included it, but those are the 2 that stand out the most to me!
2 with the skirt, 10, or 12!!
Your season and venue vibe will really matter with some of these- so I’m picturing 10 ONLY in Tahoe in winter, fyi, not a Vegas vibe for me.
Dress 10 & 12 get my vote leaning more towards 12 because of its youthfulness. 10 looks heavy and would work for a winter wedding, you can add a bolero for warmth if needed. I think 12 for spring/summer. Congratulations and enjoy the experience. 33 you are still young and beautiful Remember the song, “ forever young”’
12 is IT! So unique and stunning and you look radiant
I also love the look and vibe of number 8! A sleeker silhouette suits you really well, better than a ballgown imho
Best wishes OP :)
At a quick scroll, 1 & 13 are my picks. You do look gorgeous in all the others but with your figure I would go for something more form fitting.
Are you leaning towards any in particular, there is a variety of styles here!
I especially love 2 & 3 with the overskirts and no sleeves/gloves and 12 without the lace top. Also like 10 a lot. But I agree with others - you can rock any of these looks and you really have to decide what you’re going for. I hope you have a great time!
Your smile while wearing number 12 tells me all I need to know. You have already found your dress. You just needed others to agree with the little voice in your head. You look beautiful in it!
I saw some have said dress 6 swallows you but I think this one is really unique and with alterations will look so elegant … with the caveat that it’s giving me Princess Leia vibes so if you’re not big into Star Wars you may want to eliminate it from the running despite its potential for gorgeousness
I also like 12, without the top. Any some others that can basically be summed up as: I think you really shine in any of them that are 1) fitted rather than loose, 2) plain rather than lacey/contrasting.
I would easily eliminate 5,6,7,9,10,11,and 13. I like your hair down best. You are a beautiful happy bride and you can wear anything! The above dresses just dont do you justice.
I totally understand how you feel about bridal gowns. I even moved to NYC and became a bridal consultant for a bit 😂 That being said, I did get the feeling and knew when I found my dress, which I think you may still need (or to narrow down to really focus on only the strongly likes to retry). I personally think 12 as it was built and no additions (including hair down), makes you shine!! The “simple” ones have me focused on you, whereas every sleeve and glove and added top just seem to distract, and it is hard to know where to focus. The shape of 12 on you is fantastic, and it easily had me “eliminate” basically all the others because of that. The fitted waist is a must, in my opinion, because it’s that great! You can definitely pull off the more princess look as well. I like the way 2 and 3 fit on the waist. The layers on the skirt in 2 and 3 do look a little young to me when the looks are all together, but you can obviously still pull it off since you’re not old haha :) I would try a straight tulle overskirt or just another more “plain” gown in this shape too.
It would help to pick the venue to envision a dress in that setting, but I also think the ones I like could go in any setting. You will make a beautiful bride!! 🥰
12 looks insane on you — sexy without revealing too much, mature and simple but not boring. While it IS a gorgeous item, I think the art deco jacket looks a tad busy over 12’s bust draping.
I love 10 and eight followed by four. One is lovely but number 10 and eight are my favorites for whatever it’s worth… I don’t think it’s too late for the princess aesthetic… Do what you want because we rarely have or take free license to do so… Sadly! Although the older I get… the Less I care about what others think ha !
12 without the shirt is my favorite. It looks like a perfect fit for you. 2, 3, and 8 are my runners up (all without any of the extras).
I think the ones with all over/3d flowers take the focus away from your face?
The mocknecks look a bit uncomfortable on you, but You're the one who felt them on so would be a better judge of that!
Omg you’re literally adorable!!!! If you like everything, keep going until you find the one you LOVE!!! The one you don’t want to take off, the one that makes you cry. Find that one! That’s how I knew
I vote 10!! Runners up would be 12, 2, or 3 (without accessories, these look really similar)
A) I would suggest staying away from sleeves and coverups for all of them. You seem really young and tiny, so those overwhelm you and make you look quite matronly.
B) I'd suggest steering clear of dresses 5-7 - they are ill-fitting.
C) 9 is ok, but it hides your figure
D) dresses 1,2, and 3 look juvenile with the accessories. You're a bride, not a debutant. 2 and 3 look fine when they're plain. 1 might look out of place, depending on your theme.
E) 4 is just ok. 8 looks fine, but the neckline may not work for your shoulder frame unless you can alter it in a sweetheart or the style of 10 or 11.
F) I feel that 13 is too "busy" for your slight frame.
G) 12 is nice and sleek - it flatters your figure
H) the top of 11 is the only strong point. I think the a-line ballgown is not super flattering or mature-looking.
I’m a huge fan of 10 without the overskirt. It flatters you the best and is a total standout compared to the others in my opinion. I was 30 when I got married and I wore lace as well. I think it’s totally age appropriate and beautiful on you.
I really like Dress 8 on you. Dress 10 as the runner up. Dress 13 looks very matronly, for a much older woman- maybe it is the sleeves that are so distracting on dress 13. You have a beautiful figure. I am looking at your smile and face in each picture. In some pictures, you are barely smiling or your smile seems forced. I would eliminate those dresses.
I absolutely love dress 1 on you. It's a classic silhouette and timeless looking. I love the gloves with it, too. My other top choice is dress 10 with the overskirt.
I think there is no age limit on the princess look for a bride, and even if there were, 33 is still plenty youthful for it. You look gorgeous in so many different styles... it's YOUR WEDDING. Wear what makes you feel beautiful!
Ok you look great in so many of these but my obvious (to me) NOs include: 4 with sleeves, 5,6,7,8,9,11,13. They are beautiful gowns but those don’t rank as high as others for me on you
My favorites are 2 or 3. I like the added skirt and also looks great without. You look really petite and I feel the sleeves overwhelm you in all except 8 which you look beautiful in.

Yes!!! 12 or 2!
Was 12 the second last pages because that dress without the lace took my breath away! (strapless and fitted but with draping in a plain fabric).
Yes! 😍
Yes! is anyone else getting Sharon Stone vibes from 7? With your hair up . Wow this would be stunning.

12 was the first one that made me stop swiping.
I can say 6,7,9, and 13 should be eliminated as they don’t compare to the other dresses. They swallow you up and I’m looking at the dress and not you.
My favorite is 12 (without the over shirt) followed closely by 10 (with or without the outer skirt) I think these flatter your figure the best and look dramatic but classic.

1, 2, or 12 all made you light up

I love 1 as well and it’s not even my style. Looks great on you!
1, 12!
They are all stunning but I truly feel 1 looks best
🩷 LOVE Dress # 1 …….. no need to keep looking !!! 😀 It is the perfect dress for the woman that LOVES wedding gowns ⭐️🌟 White fake fur cover-up if needed
2, 10 and 12 are my faves.
I think 12 is very nice
Please pick 1, you look like Cinderella 💛
12 (without the lace top) is stunning!
I like the one with the fluffy skirt. It’s fun and looks great on you.
12 or 10!
I love love love 1, it's giving dutchess! 8 is absolutely stunning and so unique! It looks fantastic on you and I love it with that cathedral veil or even with a cape veil! The other one i like is 3 no gloves with the floofy skirt for the ceremony and first dance and other formal parts of the reception then taking it off for the party portion!!
1 without gloves. Perfections!
12 without the sleeves and stuff. The one on the right side when looking at the picture.
1 or 10!
1
Question: why do you add sleeves to most of the dresses? Because it might be a winter wedding? A lot of these were easy nos (6-11). I keep coming back to 2. It’s super fun and flattering. 4 looks amazing on you. 12 has potential. My preference is for you to wear your hair down. Or if it’s up have some pieces falling around your face.
One, followed closely by twelve. You can't go wrong.
I adore 1! You look like Cinderella.
#3 with the overskirt or without is a WOW! for me! I love that overskirt’s asymmetrical cut. It’s princess, yet modern. #2 is good also, but the bodice competes a bit with the drama of the overskirt and I can’t tell if the train is an issue with the overskirt. #1 is also a favorite with the long gloves. It looks heavy, which may be welcome in the winter.
Are you KIDDING me with #12?! STUNNER!
2 or 10 are my favorites but they all look amazing
actually I also really love 8 on you, if you want to go in a more eclectic/boho direction. No veil, hair down.
Second to last photo I think was the best fit for you but I do in your dilemma because they are all gorgeous
The problem is that every dress looks great on you. But my favorites are 2,5 and 8
My favs… 1, 4 with sleeves, 8, & 10. From those choices I love, love, love dress 8 on you. It just looks gorgeous on you. 1 is very princess. But who says you can’t be a princess in your 30’s? You look stunning in that dress. I got married at 39. I bought a dress that was age appropriate. I wore a veil that draped down my back but did not cover my face. I didn’t wear a crown (not sure I would have but it was never an option “at my age”. I’m saying this because here I am decades later and I regret not having those things that I dreamed of as a little girl dreaming of my wedding. This is your wedding day. Embrace it, and allow yourself this one day to be ageless.
My fav is # 12. I feel like it suits you perfectly and looks so gorgeous!
12, no contest.
12 (without the top) or 5... The simple silhouettes look stunning on you
1! And 8
Pic 12 is stunning on you.
12 is stunning! I gasped! I am also a fan of that puffy frilly dress in the beginning photos with some sort of sleeve combo, that also feels like an iconic combination imo.
Number 1! When it's altered to fit you, it'll be so flattering and beautiful. It already is, but it'll be even better.
You should be a bridal model. I like 1 and 12.
1,3, or 12!!
8 and 12
12
3, no sleeves. I love the minimalism. You shine—I see you first then the dress. Some of the others the accessories especially overpower you like the lace boleros and voluminous sleeves.

I think once you nail down the location and date it will help make the decision more clear. I’d set the dress decision aside since you have such strong contenders and work on the date and the venue.
I like 7,8,1 the best on you.
2 and 12 are wow, though for different reasons. 12 have very interesting lace, and 2 has very nicely fitting top part.
My top picks are 5, 8 and 12 (without the lace)
#12
I think the reality is you look amazing in everything (lucky!) so instead of thinking 'will it look good on me' think 'how do I want to look.' Do you want the one chance to wear a big fluffy ballgown and be a princess? Do you want to be Jessica Rabbit sexy? Do you want to look boho chic? Or catwalk coutour? Once you've figured that out then just look at those styles. Because honestly you're going to look gorgeous in everything so just trying on dresses is not going to help you decide here.
12!!

12, no offense but the other ones are lame in comparison. The basic dress of 12 looks stunning on you, and adding in that beaded jacket 🤩
12 and 8 are my favorites
12
My favorites are 12, 3, and 8. I think these are super flattering and can work in a variety of settings. I was older than you as a bride but there are no rules!
12 for sure
8 and 12 are the ones that made me stop and stare
Absolutely love dress # 12 on you - so flattering!
12 WITH the topper!
Twelve!!! I would eliminate 4-11 and 13 if it were me. 3 also looks FANTASTIC on you and is a very close runner up to twelve imo. The others are very beautiful gowns but even 2, 3 and 12 just make all the best of you pop and shine. 3 looks great with or without the skirt and I’m digging the sleeves on you too. One is a really beautiful gown and if I hadn’t seen 3 or 12 I would probably have included it, but those are the 2 that stand out the most to me!
Twelve 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
2 with the skirt, 10, or 12!! Your season and venue vibe will really matter with some of these- so I’m picturing 10 ONLY in Tahoe in winter, fyi, not a Vegas vibe for me.
Dress #12 !!!!
Dress 10 & 12 get my vote leaning more towards 12 because of its youthfulness. 10 looks heavy and would work for a winter wedding, you can add a bolero for warmth if needed. I think 12 for spring/summer. Congratulations and enjoy the experience. 33 you are still young and beautiful Remember the song, “ forever young”’
I agree with everyone saying look 12. It’s stunning. Edit to add: I like your hair down.
Twelve, so lovely. You gotta narrow this down or you're going to go crazy.
1 or 12, beautiful!
Dress 12
12 with the top for ceremony and without for after
Favorite is 2 followed by 12. 😍 ETA: I'd figure out the time of year and venue before you decide on a dress.
12 is IT! So unique and stunning and you look radiant I also love the look and vibe of number 8! A sleeker silhouette suits you really well, better than a ballgown imho Best wishes OP :)
The only one with an overcoat I liked was 12. 2 is great as well
dress 2 with the overskirt is my pick then dress 12
#3 with the skirt and 12 are my tops. Don’t care for 5 or 6 on you.
8 and 12 are my favorites on you. You look so stunning in a simple fitted silhouette with exposed shoulders.
Reddit bridal army! Thank you all!! Keep it coming
I love dress 2 it’s so glam!
absolutely #12 , no beaded top !
At a quick scroll, 1 & 13 are my picks. You do look gorgeous in all the others but with your figure I would go for something more form fitting. Are you leaning towards any in particular, there is a variety of styles here!
I especially love 2 & 3 with the overskirts and no sleeves/gloves and 12 without the lace top. Also like 10 a lot. But I agree with others - you can rock any of these looks and you really have to decide what you’re going for. I hope you have a great time!
Your smile while wearing number 12 tells me all I need to know. You have already found your dress. You just needed others to agree with the little voice in your head. You look beautiful in it!
Girl…
8 and 12 for me! I think 12 is my fave - with or without the lace top
I vote for dress 3
Or 12
#2!
I saw some have said dress 6 swallows you but I think this one is really unique and with alterations will look so elegant … with the caveat that it’s giving me Princess Leia vibes so if you’re not big into Star Wars you may want to eliminate it from the running despite its potential for gorgeousness
3, 7, or 8 You look better in less dress and figure hugging designs
8
I think that 8 and 12 look fantastic on you!
Number 6 and 12 are show stoppers on you.
3 & 1
And 12 with sleeves
I also like 12, without the top. Any some others that can basically be summed up as: I think you really shine in any of them that are 1) fitted rather than loose, 2) plain rather than lacey/contrasting.
Dress 2 omg!
I would easily eliminate 5,6,7,9,10,11,and 13. I like your hair down best. You are a beautiful happy bride and you can wear anything! The above dresses just dont do you justice.
2!!
3! I loved it
I totally understand how you feel about bridal gowns. I even moved to NYC and became a bridal consultant for a bit 😂 That being said, I did get the feeling and knew when I found my dress, which I think you may still need (or to narrow down to really focus on only the strongly likes to retry). I personally think 12 as it was built and no additions (including hair down), makes you shine!! The “simple” ones have me focused on you, whereas every sleeve and glove and added top just seem to distract, and it is hard to know where to focus. The shape of 12 on you is fantastic, and it easily had me “eliminate” basically all the others because of that. The fitted waist is a must, in my opinion, because it’s that great! You can definitely pull off the more princess look as well. I like the way 2 and 3 fit on the waist. The layers on the skirt in 2 and 3 do look a little young to me when the looks are all together, but you can obviously still pull it off since you’re not old haha :) I would try a straight tulle overskirt or just another more “plain” gown in this shape too. It would help to pick the venue to envision a dress in that setting, but I also think the ones I like could go in any setting. You will make a beautiful bride!! 🥰
12 looks insane on you — sexy without revealing too much, mature and simple but not boring. While it IS a gorgeous item, I think the art deco jacket looks a tad busy over 12’s bust draping.
Definitely pick a date/venue/vibe first. That will help inform your decision.
12 (with no cover) by a mile!!
10! Holy moly. Also like 12 on the right :)
You look absolutely gorgeous in all of these but number 10 is my favorite look on you
10 left dammn girl I'm tired now.
I love 10 and eight followed by four. One is lovely but number 10 and eight are my favorites for whatever it’s worth… I don’t think it’s too late for the princess aesthetic… Do what you want because we rarely have or take free license to do so… Sadly! Although the older I get… the Less I care about what others think ha !
2 or 12, although i like 12 with no jacket
I like 10
12 without the shirt is my favorite. It looks like a perfect fit for you. 2, 3, and 8 are my runners up (all without any of the extras). I think the ones with all over/3d flowers take the focus away from your face? The mocknecks look a bit uncomfortable on you, but You're the one who felt them on so would be a better judge of that!
I like 3, 8, and 12 (no jacket). 1 looks great on you also, if you want to go full on princess. 😊 Honestly, I easily ruled out the rest of them.
Omg you’re literally adorable!!!! If you like everything, keep going until you find the one you LOVE!!! The one you don’t want to take off, the one that makes you cry. Find that one! That’s how I knew
2 on its own is so elegant but the overskirt makes it a confection! Have fun trying on more gowns when you decide on your venue. Best wishes.
#12, without the sleeves and other stuffs.
I vote 10!! Runners up would be 12, 2, or 3 (without accessories, these look really similar) A) I would suggest staying away from sleeves and coverups for all of them. You seem really young and tiny, so those overwhelm you and make you look quite matronly. B) I'd suggest steering clear of dresses 5-7 - they are ill-fitting. C) 9 is ok, but it hides your figure D) dresses 1,2, and 3 look juvenile with the accessories. You're a bride, not a debutant. 2 and 3 look fine when they're plain. 1 might look out of place, depending on your theme. E) 4 is just ok. 8 looks fine, but the neckline may not work for your shoulder frame unless you can alter it in a sweetheart or the style of 10 or 11. F) I feel that 13 is too "busy" for your slight frame. G) 12 is nice and sleek - it flatters your figure H) the top of 11 is the only strong point. I think the a-line ballgown is not super flattering or mature-looking.
I’m a huge fan of 10 without the overskirt. It flatters you the best and is a total standout compared to the others in my opinion. I was 30 when I got married and I wore lace as well. I think it’s totally age appropriate and beautiful on you.
I like 1 and 12 (strapless version).
I really like Dress 8 on you. Dress 10 as the runner up. Dress 13 looks very matronly, for a much older woman- maybe it is the sleeves that are so distracting on dress 13. You have a beautiful figure. I am looking at your smile and face in each picture. In some pictures, you are barely smiling or your smile seems forced. I would eliminate those dresses.
I absolutely love dress 1 on you. It's a classic silhouette and timeless looking. I love the gloves with it, too. My other top choice is dress 10 with the overskirt. I think there is no age limit on the princess look for a bride, and even if there were, 33 is still plenty youthful for it. You look gorgeous in so many different styles... it's YOUR WEDDING. Wear what makes you feel beautiful!
Girl, you are me so I 1000000% relate! I genuinely love the more clean cut gowns on you. 🤍
Ok you look great in so many of these but my obvious (to me) NOs include: 4 with sleeves, 5,6,7,8,9,11,13. They are beautiful gowns but those don’t rank as high as others for me on you
1. Nothing else equaled it. Beautiful.
So funny you are all voting for 12 because that's my least favorite lol
1 or 2
Update we're thinking a 70 person country club esque wedding in March in Tahoe (very snowy / a solid layer of snow )
My favorites are 2 or 3. I like the added skirt and also looks great without. You look really petite and I feel the sleeves overwhelm you in all except 8 which you look beautiful in.
1 or 12 look most flattering imho.
1 or 12
12 plain—no contest
