Wow! All those dresses are beautiful! I especially think that numero 2 just looks fabulous on you!
 
#2
#4
#3
and I kicked out #1 because you said it was out.

I''m with FrekeChild! This is my vote:

#2
#4
#3
#1

Of all the gowns, I liked # 1 most because of its classic elegance.... However the one that best fits you is # 2. It''s beadwork is simple and not too over-powering, it hugs your curves perfectly.

No matter which one you choose, I''m very sure you''d look great on your wedding day.... Good luck in this big decision!

I think #4 is my favorite of the ones you posted, but honestly, I still think you could do better - you look so fantastic (congratulations on losing the weight - that is awesome!!), and I really think there must be a dress out there that is a good blend of the flattering elements from all these dresses that would just really WOW on you.
 
Thanks for everyones input, here is one more dress, what do you think??

Is your venue appropriate for the last dress? It is a whole lotta dress, but I have to admit that I love it on you! Again, I think your wedding would probably have to be big and elegant, but if so, you look fantastic in it!
 
Katamari, Thank You! It is an outdoor wedding, with a horse and carriage bringing me to the ceremony and taking DH and I away after the ceremony. We will be having about 300 people there. It will be an elegant outdoor wedding, nothing too fancy but really nice.
 
With 300 guests and all of nature competing for attention, you have every reason to get a dress this fabulous. I say go for it!

I do really like it on you.
 
My order

#2
#4
#3
#1

Although they are all beautiful, #2 was just a knockout!
 
Well, this is hard. I like so many of them! I tried on the maggie "faye" and it had the same top as #2 - it''s so flattering! But i completely understand b/c it didn''t really speak to me either. I much prefer the last 2 that you posted to ANY of the others....i like the maggie victoriana best, followed very closely by the last dress (don''t know who makes it). I know you said #1 and #2 are both out, and i liked these last two much more than i did #3.

I thought the victoriana made your waistline and neckline look amazing!
 
You have one hot hourglass figure!!

I shall not comment on #1 & #2 since you said those are out.

#3 - I love the deep V back on you as it totally accentuates your tiny waist but the front and the train are not my favorites.

#4 - I can definitely see one wearing this dress and arrive in horse and carriage... but the neckline seemed a bit stiff and does nothing for your girls.

#5 - My favorite for now as it seemed more balanced and makes you look taller (probably due to the picture angle). Very pretty on you and looks grand enough for the nice entrance but also elegant outdoor wedding.
 
Thank You! I didn''t think finding the perfect dress was going to be so difficult!!

If I could piece parts of dresses together that would make this process a whole lot easier! I know what I want I just can''t find it to actually try on!
 
I love this last dress - i can just picture you getting out of the carriage with this magnificent dress! How "fairy tale" !!
 
So hard to decide! I keep coming back and looking. Usually I have a favorite over them immediately, but all of these dresses seem to fit your body perfectly! So many great choices!

I love the look of the last dress too. You would definitely need a large venue for that dress! Its beautiful. I also love the detailing on the second to last one. I am completely forgetting the numbers.

Which ones have you thrown out?

ETA just saw that you said it's an outdoor wedding/carriage. Love it! I think that would be perfect. However, something keeps drawing me back to the detailing on the second to last. Sorry I am no help! :)
 
Definitely, Maybe; Thanks! That is the same problem I am having! I like both of those dresses too. I like somethings about one dress better and I confuse myself! I do like the 4th dress (2nd to the last) But I was told that it kind of makes me look shorter and cuts me off at the waist, but I keep going back to it. although I do love the last dress (5th dress) the only thing I am thinking is that the rouching that goes down to my hip/butt doesn''t look great! But everyone tells me it looks great! But the top of that dress makes my waist look really thin!

I would 100% DISAGREE with this statement. I do think you look a little taller in the very last dress, but only b/c the skirt goes on forever (i do like that dress as well). Having said that, i think you looks significantly leaner in the 2nd to the last dress - the maggie. It really gives you a beautiful shape! Now, looking my thinnest is not always MY personal #1 priority, so i understand if this doesn''t matter all that much to you. But i did want to say that i think the above statement is incorrect - i think you look great in that dress!

I had to go back and take another look to make sure i wasn''t crazy - i am sort of confused about it cutting you off at the waist when it has a substantiallydropped waist?!?

i think it makes you look fairly long through the body...

you look great in lots of them - lucky you!
 
The bodice on #4 is just gorgeous! Love it on you too!
 
Thanks violet3; I completely understand and agree with you too! I have a short torso and I think that dress makes it look longer NOT shorter and I am not wearing any heels in that dress either so I will be a few inches taller as well. I keep going back to that dress, but get confused when some people don''t really like it! I know I am eventually going to get the dress I feel most comfortable in and I love but I get nervous like I am not seeing something someone else is when they don''t love the same dress as I do!

Hmmm...someone gave me really good advice on here on my thread about dresses. My mom REALLY loved a dress with a big heavy skirt and i didn''t - she also didn''t love the ones i did

. One poster made some very good sense on here when they said that sometimes the people closest to you have an idea of what they WANT to see you in in their minds....it might color the way they feel about you in the dress. What did you think about the anonymous feedback on here as opposed to the feedback in real life???
 
Looking through your candidates in order, I can see your concept evolving from an a-line skirt to a fuller skirt... if you have the time, you might just want to play with the fuller skirt option for a bit until you find the dress that leaves you with no doubts.

That said, my overall favorite is still #3 -- I love the bodice front and back, but I''m not crazy about the gathers in the train. Although I like #5 (in spite of the pickups

) I''m kinda thinking the skirt is a bit overwhelming, even for a carriage entrance.
