    Here we are. I'd like to stick with white or ivory because it's h2bs first (and last!) wedding and i want to look every inch the bride he deserves, not someone thats being careful because they've done it before.

    Right, the floral one i'm not as keen on. I think it's too long, too fussy and in this case, too small!

    these are the other two:

  • Twirly, I seem to be following you round the threads, LOL!

    The first one is absolutely the best shape for you - it defines your waist and enhances your bust without being too revealing. Lose the flowers, shorten the skirt (or find another dress like that but simpler - there are loads cos it's a very flattering shape on a lot of people) and it will be gorgeous (it is already, but even more so).

    Personally I love the flowers, but that's just me! :D

    The second one could also look stunning, but the dress is the wrong size so it doesn't look as good as it could.

    The third one has the same bust-related issues as the first one you showed us on this thread, but it does make your waist look smaller, I think because of the lower waistband and simpler skirt.

    We (me and my mum) prefer the top one with the flowers :D

    It flatters you loads better

    lol, thanks folks! I'm thinking about ordering this one and then getting it altered if it's not right...

    It's got a corset back so i'll be able to fit it to me (like the floral one as that was corseted). Think I'll remove the straps on this as skinny straps tend to look like they're straining under the weight of my mammeries!

    I'm with White Sapphire & Stephb, the first one with the flowers looks the best.
    You could lose the flowers but the do add a certain "flair" to the dress!
    The second one looks a bit too 80's for me, and the third one does look lovely, it gives you a nipped in waist, and a lovely figure- but I just love the first one more!!
    Although looking again, if you want to hide your buzzooom, then it should be the third dress! It is very lovely! x

    well my colour choice is supposed to be yellow, but since the only thing that will be yellow is the BMs dress i've not bought yet, then i may as well change it. Don't want pink, it's too predictably me, don't want purple as I've done that before... thinking cap on.
