Alright, ladies! Dress time!

#3- Definitely the most flattering... casual enough for the wedding you're describing, but "bridal" enough as well. (Plus, this is very similar to the type of dress I really wanted and can't find, so I am biased of course!) It really does look the flattering on you, and I think it is something that will stand the test of time in bridal pictures.

Runners up...

#4 is also very nice but I don't think it's as flattering as #3, and perhaps seems like a little too much "high-drama" with the shoulder strap arrangement, especially since you said you are petite.

#2 is really interesting, and I like it alot. I would perhaps want a dress like that for a cocktail party, or a second reception, or something... but maybe not so bridal. (Plus it doesn't seem to fit very well, and I think although it is sort of trendy now you will regret it in a few years...)

#1 is my least favorite. You obviously have a nice shape, but this does not seem flattering. Plus, I think the longer gowns (sans train) will add to the illusion of height, wheras a shorter gown might accentuate the fact that you're not exactly 6 feet tall.

I LOVE NUMBER THREE!

ETA ala mara, above... I just looked at the dresses and wanted to post my opinion before I was "tainted" by anyone else's, so I didn't read the whole post... sorry... but I sure am glad you got number three!

Another vote for number three. It''s perfect on you! I actually like it better on you than #4 even though that''s te spendier one. You have a lovely figure and #3 just sets it off beautifully!

Mara, AG, and ChickFlick- Thanks so much

... I love hearing your opinions even if it is a little late

. Especially since y''all like the dress that I DID get. I just didn''t think I needed to start a whole new thread for my little update! But no one in my real life could appreciate my excitement that my dress fit! And I knew that the PS gals would!
