I like #3 the best! It shows off your figure the best. You look so pretty!

I like the look of #1 the best, but I think #3 is the most flattering to your figure.

ETA: I just went back and looked at your first round of pics and my favorites are definitely the Mori Lee from the last trip and # 3 from this trip!

Lulu, I think the shape/silhouette of #3 is the most flattering on your figure, but I don''t actually love the dress. I think you can do a lot better. Are you open to shopping around some more, or will you be deciding between these dresses?

I love #2, but agree it isn''t the most flattering shape on you. #3 makes you look incredible, but is obviously not as detailed. I think I simply have to say #2 looks the absolute best, and I like them all more than the first round IMHO.

Sounds like a fun day of dress shopping with your favorite girls!

Personally, the high empire waists on gowns 1 and 2 don't do much for you (I know all about that- they don't do much for me either!) The natural waists and more tapered skirts on gowns 3 and 4 slim you. Gown 5 is also better than 1 and 2 in this regard, but perhaps not quite as slimming as 3 and 4 (it's a bit hard to tell since the photo of you in #5 is more from the side than from the front like the others).

From there, it's more personal taste. Gown #4 may be my favorite of this bunch- it looks like the nicest fabric to me (in the photos at least)- I know nice fabric was something I really wanted in my wedding gown, so that's my own idiosyncratic thing. It also has a certain drama that the other gowns don't- a little bit of a red carpet feel. I like the idea of gown #3 but don't love that one in particular. I think you could find a similar style gown that's even better. To me, gown #5 is nice, but perhaps a bit traditional (for my taste, but your taste could be different!)

Have fun on your next shopping trip!

ETA: I just looked at your thread about your first dress shopping trip, and I do like the Mori Lee (gown #1) that you were leaning towards after that trip. That one might be my favorite on you.

my favourite is dress #1 from your dress shopping round 1!
I do love #3 of this thread but the neckline does seem to sit a bit high.
Good luck with finding a dress!

Your shape looks fantastic in number 3!

I also like number 4 a lot... the others, I don''t think do your awesome figure justice at all!

i kinda agree. !00% on the flattering your figure, but there are a lot of dresses out there with that style, so have fun with it :)

#3 looks the best on you (IMHO)! #1 and #2 make you look bigger than you are and dont really do much for your
shape. I also like #4. #5 is ok but sort of ho-hum.

LuLu! you look awesome in pretty much all of those dresses! lucky you ;-)

OK, from this shopping trip, there is no contest whatsoever - Dress #3 is absolutely amazing on you!!!!! it''s just lovely and so figure flattering. Who makes it, if you don''t mind my asking? After that, i like dress #4 very very much too.

Now, having said that, #3 is far more my taste than 1 and 2 are. If the full skirt is more your thing, then out of those 2, i like dress #2. Of those styles, however, I really like dress #1 from the first trip with the sweet little belt.

What did you like?????

p.s. When I was looking, i was looking for a specific style, more than i was looking to find the MOST flattering (read: thin) dress i could find. Somehow, I knew the A-line full skirts would be the most slimming, but i just realized that i wanted a more fitted sillouhette and something simple. What style are you partial to, when you look at your pics?

i''m not too sure i like the a-line as much on you, but #3 and #4 from this trip are my favorites of this group. i still like #1 from your first trip the best. you have such a little waist- show it off!

I like #3 and #4 best. I think the styles of #1 and #2 do you no justice. It shortens you and makes you look wide when you aren't.

ETA: #1 from your first trip is

#3 from this trip, and #1 and #4 from your last trip - all look gorgeous on you, but #3 from round 2 is my fave!
