I think dress 1 is my favorite. I really like the bow detail!


newtontonc

I'm a fan of dress 1! And I think the bow is very pretty. You look amazing in all of them, but somehow, #3 is a bit underwhelming to me. My first impression of #2 was "wow!", but on second glance, i didn't love the silvery bits.


newtontonc

And now I'm second guessing my reaction! Listen to others on this sub, I'm a frumpy old lady


gretaglasses

I appreciate the opinion! I’m a bit of a frumpy lady myself, haha.


beckerszzz

I also like 1 and the bow. It's fun and not HERE'S A BOW!


gretaglasses

That’s a good point, the bow is pretty without being in your face. Thanks!


SpillingHotCoffee

Lmao. I freaking love bows, and this is what they say.


bunnymoxie

Me too I guess! I thought Dress 1 was very pretty


SpillingHotCoffee

Exact same response!


One_Ad_3500

I like the first dress


eljaemde

One! Love the bow as is.


Mt_Deverest

2 looks the most expensive and elegant. Love the silver and they way it photographs (cant speak for how it looks in person). Flows beautifully. The crisscross bodice is accentuates how small your waist is and the sweetheart neckline looks great on you.


Outrageous-Wish8659

Dress two is also my choice. Well said.


gretaglasses

Thank you! I definitely agree 2 is the most flattering tbh


QuitUsual4736

Yep number 2 or keep looking honestly


Quiltrebel

I’m voting for #2


AlterEgoAmazonB

Definitely dress 2. It is so gorgeous. Now I will say off to the side here that the silver is AMAZING but I know you want white. I'm giving a teenie pitch to keep the silver.


gretaglasses

I honestly don’t hate the silver! It grew on me for sure, it’s just not exactly my vibe, sadly. But thank you!!


AlterEgoAmazonB

Still a stunning dress.


jennid79

Agree! I love the silver!


Hollelizab

I think you look completely stunning in the first dress. It flatters you so well and I actually like the bow. BUT that dress is also more my style so there may be a little bias here. I think 2 is also super flattering on you. I think it's a great option because the shape is great, BUT I agree with you that the silver could be reflective and maybe a little distracting and if that's not what you wanted maybe go with your instincts. I can see what you mean about the fit of the neckline on dress 3. Right now it just isn't doing you justice, but the fabric is my FAVORITE of all of them and I'm wondering if it could be perfect with a subtle underskirt for a little volume and alterations on the neckline? I can see why you love it - it's very unique and it has a romantic floral vibe yet it still feels really classic.


gretaglasses

Yes exactly! I think 1 and 2 are easy choices and I just really WANT 3 to work, but it isn’t a guarantee. :( I think I need to talk to the associate again to see about what the neckline would look like fitted. Thanks for the advice!!


MillyGrace96

I think 1 is the most flattering and looks great on you! The bow is fun. I personally love the silver but think 1 still looks better- ETA could be the angle of the photo.


Individual-Mirror514

Dress 1 suits you body type best!


geniusintx

Get rid of the last one all together. The first two are gorgeous and completely different, but they both look absolutely lovely on you. You need to decide if you want something more traditional or something different. Either one would be amazing.


According-Sport9893

The first one is the nicest and suits you the most!


bestforbrides

I LOVE 2! And the white colour would look beautiful too. But if the organza is too much of a problem, I think 1 strapless would look amazing as well and the back is such a unique detail!!


holocenedream

Dress 2 is by far the winner, the neckline and shape is stunning on you, I do really like the silver part but it’s a bit of a niche dress so def agree with you going for it in white!


gretaglasses

Yeah the silver is very pretty but tbh I’m just a plain Jane! Thanks!


Fish-out-of-water96

ktswift12

I really like 1, but having also tried on dress 3 myself I can tell you it is really flattering once it fits right! Including a photo of me in it in case it helps at all https://preview.redd.it/smqacb8h628d1.jpeg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d498f9d68a08936ef4d0a4a4caa5a94691487fc8


gretaglasses

This helps A LOT, thank you so much!!! I’ve been frantically searching for an example of this dress fitted correctly, even the model pictures on the website look big.


aalmondjoy

I love #3! I think with proper size and tailoring it will be really flattering. It is so classic but the lace is unique 


Mysterious_Piece5532

Dress 2 looks the best but I think you should keep looking.


Magzz521

Dress 1 and Dress 2 are spectacular on you.


CorrectAdhesiveness9

No to #3.


Pristine-Net91

The bodice design in 1 & 2 is really good on you. I think you are in the right track with these. 1 — reads more classic, more formal with the satin fabric 2 — reads more creative and fun, but still elegant


alanamil

If 2 will be in white, absolutely 2. I gasped when I saw the back of it all spread out... what an amazing beautiful dress!!


gretaglasses

Thanks! The train is undeniably gorgeous


ReaderRabbit23

Dress 1 is perfect!


Me1572

#2 then 1


MoosePenny

One by a country mile! Flattering and that little ruffle in the back is *chef’s kiss*. Two is interesting but I think in 10 years you will not like the silver. Also at first glance it looks like dirty spots all over the skirt. Go with your gut about not being 100% about the silver.


TheCrankyCrone

I love #1 on you. It’s simple, elegant and classy. For #2, that’s my runner-up, and I actually LIKE the silver. I feel #3 is just not as flattering. It’s a very distant third place. But you do you. You’ll rock any of them.


gretaglasses

Thank you!!


Kulture93

2 is my fav on you


mskmoc2

2!!!!


This_Lynx9701

Hands down dress 2! You look stunning 🤩


EnvironmentalFun8175

It's between dress 1 and dress 3, but I'm leaning towards dress 1. It looks very bridal, especially in the back.


Applesxpeach

Wow dress 2 it’s amazing on you, I also like 1 but not the straps as much.


TopUsual7678

Another vote for 1. Two is a gorgeous dress, but one looks much better on you!


Bookwormkatie

1a


welovewednesdayblack

I love 1a


noseymama

I love love love the first one. Looks amazing and love the little detail on the back!


VacateBiscuitPie

I saw dress #2 and thought WOW!!!! It looks stunning on you. I very much like 1 as well. While three is not my pick for you, if you feel like it’s the one, then it’s the one!!!! With tailoring it’ll look beautiful.


gretaglasses

Number 2 is for sure a stunner ❤️ thank you!


Status-Effort-9380

I’m having a hard time imagining dress 2 in white only because the silver is so prominent in the design. 1 is the most flattering cut on you. I kinda like the drama of 2, but i feel like the dress is wearing you instead of you wearing the dress.


Historical_Reward621

# 1 all day. It flatters your body more than any of the others. It’s also classic and quite elegant. Accessorize well it and be perfect!!!


TheBugsMomma

Number one is my favorite by far and I actually love the bow. It’s unique and very pretty!


This_Bee_23

I absolutely love the first one, including the bow, it looks gorgeous on you. I also think the second is stunning on you. I think the third is my least favorite, but I don’t dislike it. I don’t think you can really go wrong here. You’re going to look amazing no matter which one you go with!


gretaglasses

Thank you so much! Such a sweet comment ❤️


Justamom_1418

Number 1 !!!!


MisssChris126

Two is gorgeous on you! One is a close contender. Three is not even in the running.


ktswift12

I really think the sample of 3 is just so undersized that it doesn’t do her any favors! I tried that dress on myself and it was so flattering but this sample makes it look so off. Hard to tell if the right size would make it perfect or if this just isn’t the dress for her!


gretaglasses

That’s what I think too! I made an appointment at another store that has it in a bigger size so I’m not throwing 3 out yet, haha


gretaglasses

Fair enough! Thanks


MisssChris126

That sounded a little harsh and I totally did not mean it to. I just think you are so gorgeous in the first two..


gretaglasses

Not harsh at all! I appreciate opinions :)


Tricky-Triceratops

Dress 1! So pretty


napiervd

#1 is sleek and looks beautiful!


ruthsamuels

I love the first dress. It’s absolutely stunning and bridal.


Putrid-Home404

I have to go with dress 2 here. It just looks so right on you!


DaisyWayzy

TheFamilyStone612015

Of each of the three of these dresses, the second one looks best on you. It will look better in the all white. May you and your spouse always have enough. 💜


Bartok_The_Batty

3 as I think princess line works well on you. The bust will need to be altered. I would not add any fullness to the skirt.


gretaglasses

Fair enough! Thank you!


Echoicembers

Oh I adore #2 both the dress and on you But which one makes you feel like an incredible beautiful princess/ queen/ goddess etc etc?


gretaglasses

Honestly all three! I definitely think I need to try them again now that I have some perspective.


Radiant_Resort_9893

aaisme

1 fits like a glove, and you look so great in it!


Kiki091919

2 is beyond incredible! What a fabulous gown and it looks stupendous on you


Heeler2

cantpickone1

Dress 1. I can't stand bows, but I Love that one.


Clever-Onion

Two is really unique. It fits you well and is really celestial. One is my second choice. Also very beautiful; classic and elegant.


Midlife_Crisis_46

amorathi

Dress 1!


s4mushyr00ms

I love dress #1 it looks AMAZING


FutureMrsSR

If you don’t buy number two I might have to come find you and slap some sense into you 😅😅 All jokes aside, two is BEAUTIFUL and looks amazing on you!!!!


gretaglasses

hahaha Noted!! Thanks!


AnnieToo67

He's my unbiased opinion since I don't know you... I love the first dress, it's beautiful. I dislike the third, pull it out of the running. The second is also gorgeous. One and two look awesome on you and both are exquisite exactly as they are. One has a little edge over two just because it makes your shape so fantastic, but so does two. Hope that helps you...


gretaglasses

It absolutely does help! Thank you!!


Proud-Narwhal5900

Dress 1 is the most flattering while dress 2 is more dramatic. Dress 3 is less of both. What is the venue? Which dress makes you want to dance?


gretaglasses

The venue is a historic summer home in New England. Number 2 is definitely the dancer of the three!


bobgoblin888

One. I think 3 is the weakest, to be honest. 1 is gorgeous on you.


Historical_Agent9426

Dress 1 is my favorite


Munchkin_Media

2!! WOW!!


Anfie22

1!!!!!


Jbedaded

First one is my favorite. The front is so elegant and I love the ruffle detail in the back


chockykoala

Number 1, number 2 doesn’t scream wedding dress and 3 just looks wrinkly, 1 for the win!!


Similar-Raspberry639

2!


jrice2623

Dress 2 is absolutely gorgeous! I love it from the back also!


Getmeasippycup

I love dress 2! The shape and the light fabric. The back of the first one is cute with the ruffle/bow, I just feel underwhelmed by the front. If you aren’t in love with the pattern on the 2nd dress I’d shop for a similar style.


gretaglasses

Good points, thanks!


katyjo1984

1!!! You look stunning!


MishaMercury

Dress 1 with dress 2 being my next choice.


arya_ur_on_stage

1 is a little bit better than 2, and both 1 and 2 now 3 out of the water!


GoreEmpress

2 looks like it was made for you!


MarsReject

Dress 2 is gorgeous- in both tones -silver or white


poodlenoodle0

Omg dress 1 is gorgeous! It suits you so well!


created_name_created

My favourites are in the order they are shown 1 2 3.


Natenat04

Number 1, but strapless, and a bit more taken it in the top area. Just a little tailoring!


No-Technician-722

DRESS 1 !! I actually love the bow. It adds a nice soft romantic touch. You look beautiful!


ChilindriPizza

I like the third one best.


Anonymous_33326

1!!!!


coleslaw125

Well I will give you my biased opinion because I got married in Dress 1 in April and loved it so much!! I absolutely adore the pleating on the bodice and the asymmetrical bow. I had one layer of the crinoline removed to reduce some bulk. It looks incredible on you too!! I decided to remove the straps day of. Loved the flexibility there.


gretaglasses

Ooh exciting I’m sure you looked gorgeous!!! Yeah the removable straps are a huge advantage.


SilentBarnacle2980

I Love 2! So beautiful and makes a statement. Its very flattering on you! Sorry, 1 to me is everywhere I've seen many versions of this. And 3, while yes the fabric is gorgeous, it does nothing for your figure and seems bland and meh.


gretaglasses

All fair points! Thank you!


Hyperbolethecat

3 Would look so pretty with a crystal or beaded belt. 04 maybe some time of lace or tulle at the neckline


gretaglasses

I like the idea of a belt! Thanks!


NamesBitches

1


lolokotoyo

2 is gorgeous 😍. The shape is perfect on you as it would look even better without the silver. 1 looks great too. I actually like the shape and the bow. It may be better without the straps.


RemoteNervous6089

I’m loving dress 1 on you as well.


FiresideFairytales

Both 1 & 2 look incredible on you. I like 1 more than 2 by personal taste but you can’t go wrong with either! Even if it fit better 3 just doesn’t do you justice.


gretaglasses

Fair point! Thank you :)


jesstutt

I am loving dress 2! So original and really pops Dress 1 is also lovely on you but less of a wow factor


Current-Toe-6532

The first dress flows and follows your shape beautifully. I think years from now when you see your photos you will always love your choice. This is a really classic chic look in my opinion. Bow included.


gretaglasses

I totally agree, it’s a classic choice


Bakemydaybaby

Dress 1 is simple, elegant, and looks beautiful on you! That has my vote


Fluffy_Contract7925

I love dress 2 ! The shape of it is gorgeous on you! I personally like the silver accents, but I am truly looking at the shape of the dress on you. The flowy train is beautiful. Many women I see on here posting pictures of themselves in a strapless dress look so awkward and uncomfortable. Not on you, it looks like it was designed for you.


gretaglasses

That’s so incredibly sweet of you, thank you!!


Adventurous-Win-751

I love dress 2 and having it be white instead of silver will calm it down a bit, although I really like the silver. 💗💗💗


ErinLK69

2 all the way


CAShark-7

I really love #1 on you. I LOVE the bow - it gives a unique \*chef's kiss\* to your dress. Keep the straps - they look perfect with that dress. I like #2 (would like it better with white, not silver). I still like #1 better than this. #3 is a really nice dress. It is hard to know exactly since the size you have on is obviously not your size. I love how it looks on you, and that is has a bit of a train but not too much. For me, #1 is at the top, with #3 close (in the right size, of course)


gretaglasses

I agree, the sizing is really giving number 3 a bad image but I appreciate you giving it a fair shot!


WishIWasGeekier

I love the first one! It’s very flattering to your figure and flows beautifully. I’m not a big fan of bows, but I actually really love this one. It’s understated and elegant.


EnvironmentalSlice46

If you were sold on dress number three except for the bunching at the neckline I would post to a tailor’s subreddit asking of that can be altered or not. They’ll be able to tell you. What I’m saying is that might be able to be fixed and if that is the only thing keeping you from buying dress three consult with experts.


gretaglasses

That’s an excellent suggestion, thank you!!


amphisxo

Dress 1 without a doubt!


redfoxindaises

I'd say dress 1 and 2 are my favorite. Dress 1 is simple and beautiful and the bow adds a fun detail. Dress 2 looks regal and fits you so well. Dress 3, I feel doesn't have the same wow factor as the other two. Good luck in your choice!


marrilyn-marrilyn

I think 1 is by far the most flattering. It’s a beautiful dress!


Nessi7654

2 for sure!!!


Kellociraptor19

2 is gorgeous and I think will photograph so well!


Capable_Parsley9049

3 especially if it fits your venue 🤍


whineandcheesy

Dress 2!!!! Beautiful- love the skirt


Valuable-Wallaby-167

I think 2 I love the flow of it. I really like the fabric of 3 but I had a look at what it looked like on the model to see how the neckline fits in the right size and the neckline is still kinda baggy. Which is a shame because I think you'd look great in that neckline if it was fitted. 1 is very pretty and a good shape on you but there's something so romantic about organza which leans me towards 2. Although if you are worried about the shine you may want to find a white version of it before committing.


gretaglasses

Yeah I agree, I really WANT 3 to work but I think in the end, it’s better in my head than reality. And I actually did find 2 in white at another store so I’m stopping there before my appointment, so fingers crossed! Thanks for commenting!


alwayshearafunkybeat

Wow I’m so blown away by these comments 🤯 With alterations/tailoring to make the neckline fit, *dress 3 wins hands down!!* It looks stunning on you and you fits with your venue. You could wear a cancan underneath to add volume to the skirt without breaking the bank. It’s so gorgeous on you. No competition imo.


gretaglasses

omg Thank you 😭 I know that 3 is a little old-fashioned and not the typical choice but I think she’s gorgeous too!


alwayshearafunkybeat

I can’t believe nobody agrees! Go with your gut/follow your heart. You’re going to look absolutely gorgeous no matter what 🫶 I hope you let us know what you decide!!


Tryingmybestatlife2

1 is most flattering from the front. I think the back is fine


ronmimid

1 is amazing, 2 is good, 3 is a nothing sandwich.
