Nice choices!
Hands down, #5 Maggie Sottero!! I think it is most flattering to your lovely figure.
My 2nd choice is #6.

What look are you going for would be the question! Traditional and classic, then choose 4 or 6. Elegant and more unique, then 5. How many weddings have you been to where the bride wore something like #5? Like #6? I wanted my dress to be "wow, I''ve never seen a dress like that before, it''s gorgeous" and yet still be classic, and I felt a dress like #5 gave me that. But maybe that''s not the reaction YOU want.

I get so excited about dresses, I have to put a plug in for www.sophiatolli.com. I love love love her line. She used to be the head designer for Maggie Sottero I''m told so that would explain why I love both Maggie and Sophia kind of dresses.


Which dress did you like the best???
 
6,4,7!
 
You look great in all of them but I like 5 and 6 the best!
 
they all look beautiful, but #3 is really something special! i''m sure which ever dress you choose will be wonderful.
 
#5 all the way! It looks gorgeous

#1 and #7 - Very pretty dresses, but I agree with havernell that those styles make you look kind of top heavy (also not saying you are, but those dresses make you seem like you are).

#2 and #3 - Lovely dresses. I''m not totally loving the sweetheart neckline on you. I really like the style of #2, but it looks like there''s too much material on top- like it''s too high on your chest or too big or something. Perhaps alterations would fix that. #3 looks better fitted and is more flattering.

#4 and #6 - I LOVE these on you. The scalloped neckline is very delicate and flattering on you. It''s hard for me to tell in the pictures, but it looks like #4 has vertical lace sections on the skirt? I''m sure alterations would fix the wrinkles at the waist? It also appears the hem has a bit more scalloping? #6 looks like it is completely covered in lace and more of a straight edge hem? I love them both on you, but #6 just a bit more. You look gorgeous in both of these.

#5 - What a stunning dress. It certainly stands out from the rest. It looks fabulous on you, though I wish you had a pic taken at a distance like the other dresses. I think your figure looks great in either 5, 4 or 6, but I do think the scalloped necklines of #4 and #6 are a bit more flattering. Like winston26 mentioned- what look are you going for?

If you want a unique, sexy, bold gown, #5 is my choice.
If you want a classic, flattering, elegant gown, #6 is my choice.
 
I have to copy Robbie and go 7, 3, 1. That''s the order I love as well. I don''t think you look top heavy.

I like #5 the best. The others are very beautiful as well, but something about it stands out from the rest. With a lot of the other dresses, my attention was focused on your bust or hips, but this one didn''t do that for me. Nothing was competing for my attention. It seems very slimming (not that you need something that''s slimming with your figure! but hopefully you get the point) and the bottom of the skirt is so flowy and beautiful.

I looked and couldn''t find it anywhere on the Maggie website. Not in the destinations, regular line, or Sottero and Midgely sections. I''m guessing the dress is either very new, or perhaps being discontinued? Let''s hope it''s not the last option!
 
Without reading any other posts, I love #5.

ETA: Now that I've read everyone's posts, I totally agree with espressa.
 
#5

#3 for sure.

Isn''t it interesting how the only thing we all agree on is that you look amazing?

3,5, and 7. You look fabulous in all of those dresses, so pick the one you love!!
 
I love number 1, 3, and 7. I think they look fab on you. You have an amazing figure!
 
I like 3, 4, 5, 6.

In order, I like 4,6,5,3.

It''s funny- I had the complete opposite reaction as Robbie! I thought the v-neck dresses (1 and 7) made you look kind of top heavy or something (let me clarify- I don''t think you ARE top heavy, but the cut of these dresses just gave that illusion). It could also just be the camera angles as well though...


In all, liked the strapless dresses the best on you. Numbers 2, 4, and 6 are especially lovely. I think you have some good contenders there. But definitely have fun dress shopping and go to more salons to try on more (because when are you ever going to have the chance/excuse to try on a ton of fancy dresses again?!)


Thanks for sharing!

I agree. I like 2 and 4 best, and 1 and 7 the least.
 
I agree with havernell. In my opinion, the V-necks aren''t as flattering on you as the strapless dresses. I think I like #3 the best, but all the strapless dresses look great on you!
 
You are stunning!

I like #s 3, 5, and 6.

#3 is very sexy. The only thing I''d worry about is comfort in terms of making sure the girls stay in their place all night, if ya know what I mean. But man oh man is that a gorgeous silhouette.

#5 is unique and stylish and just plain brilliant in my opinion. It''s still bridey but it has a flair to it that you don''t often see in wedding gowns. And you look fabulous in it. I love the very bottom of the skirt.

#6 is precious and extremely flattering. It is a classic bridal style and it has an understated elegance that I really appreciate.

Honey, you cannot go wrong, though. You look smashing in every single dress. Honestly.
 
3,6,5... with my top votes going to 3 and 6. I like 5 but I assume you were photographed on some sort of a platform. There''s a lot going on with that dress and I''m concerned that it might overwhelm you without the extra length in the skirt.
 
3,4&6. All are similar with slight differences and that style looks great on you.
 
GOSH you are gorgeous!! You are going to look incredible in anything you choose.

I like 6 the best, followed by 7, 4, and 3.
 
I actually think the strapless make yo look more top heavy. I like 1 and 7, but nothing competes with 5. The others are nice, but kind of generic, but when I saw you in 5 you looked like you belonged in that dress. A figure as perfect as yours should not be in anything less and the back is so sexy.
 

Let me preface by saying that you have a gorgeous hourglass figure! I am envious

I''ll give my opinion based on what the dresses do for your figure, since I do not know what style or look you are hoping to accomplish.


#1 I really liked this one, but preferred others once I saw them. I love halter dresses, and while this does make your waist look tiny, I think it might make your shoulders appear broad.


#2 and #3 seem to make you appear short-waisted.


#4 Beautiful dress and I really like the lace scallops. I think the strapless straight across is the most flattering on your figure. That''s kind of funny since I prefer a halter dress for me! The only problem is the wrinkly fabric just under the bust. I assume it is because it is not your size.

#5 It''s a unique dress and the back is really pretty, but I don''t think you are getting maximum figure flattery. Choose this dress if you are looking for originality because you can definitely pull it off, lucky. I would pick others based on flattery though.

#6This is my favorite for your figure. You look hourglass and perfectly preportioned. You have a graceful neckline, and the details on the edges are lovely.

#7 This also seems to make you appear broad on top. It''s not so much "top- heavy" as it is a general shape, if that makes any sense.

Just remember that no one at your wedding is going to know what the dresses in the shop looked like, so whichever gown you choose will be the most perfect gown in their eyes!! You can''t go wrong:)
 
Freaking gawd! You have such a great body that everything looks great on you.... how would you even choose??

I like all of them. Ha. Seriously, not a single one looked drab on you.
 
#2!!!!

After that, #6.

You do have a beautiful figure!
 
#4 and #6!!!!
 

My my my, you all are so sweet and helpful. Let''s keep in mind that I am having a formal garden wedding in Tx, so I am worried about appropriateness (size of train, foofooness etc).


My favorites are 2, 4, 5, and 6.


2- this dress is stunning and stunningly expensive @ $2575. It is a size 14 and so is clamped in the back and definitely too big.
4- this dress fits great and I adore it, with some adjustments around my rib cage it would be perfect. It is romantic, comfortable and the delicateness it lovely.
5- funnily enough I tried this one on as a joke between be and my FI as he had seen something very similar in a magazine and had commented that it would make my a$$ looked great, but when I put it on, I actually felt kinda fab! Lol My friend said it wasn’t me and it looked “beachy” because of the fabric. I thought it was sassy and fun! Again this was a size twelve (I run an 8 in wedding dresses)
6- This fit like a GLOVE, and was amazing. I am concerned that the train maybe a little much for a wedding out on a garden deck.
 
here is number six from other angles.

4 is so similar to 6 but half the price
