Please help me find a dress (PIP's)

I narrowed down a few dresses that I liked from VS for our sunset photo shoot in April on Maui.  Please help me choose....PLEASE.  I'm so not a good shopper and honestly, I have no fashion sense whatsoever ;)

Also, if you need know my measurements I am large busted (38D'ish) and still in the process of losing some weight.  Right now I'm a size 14'ish as well so hopefully that will help you decide which one.  I'm thinking I will still be a size 14, maybe a size 12 if I'm lucky by the time I leave at the end of April.  I'm worried these choices won't be flattering for my bigger size.

Re: Please help me find a dress (PIP's)

  • I'm not very good at shopping for my body type either, so I can't help you out there.  I'm just in the process of doing some returns to j-crew because I'm so bad at it!

    My favorites are #3, then #2. 

     

  • I would probably pick 1 or 2, just b/c I personally can't wear strapless.  I always have a little something extra hanging over & I know I would be pulling it up the whole time.  1 or 2 (especially 1) looks like it would keep everything in its place! 

    Hope this helps!

  • 2 all the way it will be super flattering-great colour too.
  • I like #2. Since you're busty, I think that it will be the most flattering.

    I know that me and my bewbs always have problems with the elasticized strapless tops like #3 - they tend to give me a square shelf-o-boob - and I think that the gathering under the bust of #1 won't be as flattering.

  • Your measurements sounds exactly like mine!  

    I love #1, but I think that #2 would probably be the most flattering for larger busted women.

  • #2!!

    Love the color and it will be beautiful against the Hawaii backdrop, it will support you up top and it looks like it will be flattering on any body-type. Have fun!!!

  • My vote is for 1 or 2. I have two dresses that look exactly like 2, but in 2 different colors because I love the style so much, so I may be biased on 2. I'm not as busty though, but I think that style looks great with more busty-ness because it tends to minimize it a bit more than other styles, IMO. Let us know what you decide! GL!!

    I agree.  It should be figure flattering too and the strap will help with bust support.  FWIW, the size you are now is what I DREAM of being...it's my goal! Yes

  • #2 also gets my vote!  Yes
  • My favorite is number 2...in fact I think I may just buy that bad boy ;-) Anyway I think that the maxi dress will elongate you and be the most flattering. Plus the color is perfect for a sunset photo shoot.

  • I'm agreeing with #2 also.  FWIW, that #1 dress is REALLY short - I have the strapless version of it and I cannot bend over in it.  I suppose how tall you are makes a difference, but if you're tall #1 might give a peep show.
  • Thanks ladies!!!  #2 it is!  I think I'm placing my order today, I hope it looks just as good on as it does in the picture.

    Thank you so much for your input and advice, it's exactly what I needed Big Smile
