Outfit for my sister's wedding
This is probably the last big formal event in my immediate family, so I'm going to Nordstrom to have a personal shopper pick out my outfit, then have it tailored.
It's important to me to look good and feel great on the day. As such, I will probably be shopping in plus-size ... but I don't want to look like a grandma.
What do you think of these? They give me hope ...

That should be fun! You have to post a pic of what you wind up with after!
Maybe I'm weird but I feel like the girl in the pics doesn't fill out the top part of those dresses very well? But, as I recall, your boobs are bigger, so I bet they'd look great. I especially like the pattern of the first one.

I LOVE #2.
#1 looks really unflattering, even on the model.
I would love to do the personal shopper thing, I think it is a great idea for a special event that you get to choose your own outfit for.
Yeah, I hear you. Maybe I'm trying to branch out too far from my Old Faithful--The Sheath:
The sheath is HOT.
I agree #2 looks the best to me. #1 looks like it would cut in all the wrong places. best of luck!!
Since the girls are gigantic (FF/G, last time I checked), they do tend to make themselves known no matter what I wear. I find if I try to play them down, they wind up looking better than they do if I wear outfits designed for them. As I once told a roommate who was upset at how much cleavage I show: These babies make a t-shirt look pornographic!
I am really annoyed with #1, that "V" thing really ruins a gorgeous dress. The V is just going to emphasis hips, poor taste to put that over a belly, but that fabric is beautiful.
#2 and #3 are my choices.
#2 has the potential to make an ample bust look bigger because of the billowing of the fabric, so if you are sensitive about the girls looking big, nix that one.
#3 is great, but I am a little dissapointed that the band under the bust line is not thicker to give a more separated and defined look. It just kind of blends....the V neck will make a smaller bust look sexy and a bigger bust will stay in check if you wear the right bra...this is not so deep you couldn't wear a great bra.
The pros of the more flowy dresses...even after you eat you wont feel fat because it will move softly against you and no rolls or pudges will show (something I concern myself over frequently) also....with weddings you sit down a LOT and so no folds and wrinkles in the fabric between sitting and standing. Major plus.

EJ is growing up too fast!
When's the last time you've been fitted for a bra? The girls at Nordstrom's lingerie department have been great at fitting me. They can probably also help if you want something to minimize the girls
Oh and the sheath is definitely hotter than the other three dresses you posted.
Ditto this 100%...
I like #2 the best also.

Every couple years I get fitted at Town Shop in NYC. I love them there. I will check on sizing at Nordies, though ... always good to have non-internet options for undergarments!
