Help me pick a dress:

My "go to" black dress for weddings is too big (yay for losing 15 lbs!) so it's time to get something for a mid-March wedding 

Option one:

Option two:

Option three:

Option one, I just love.  Classic, dressy enough without being over the top.  Guess I'm all about the one shoulder dresses for some reason.  I am open to other suggestions.

Option two...love it as well, seems that it would be more forgiving than option one.

Option three, I wanted an option other than black.  I am a little worried about the ruching in front, if it is TOO much.  But I like the subtle sparkle on the shoulder.

So, let's get some feedback!  The good thing about the black dresses is that I already have the clutch and shoes.  Haha!

  • I LOVE the first one!!!!

    IF you are worried about tightness on the arse and hips you are right about number two being more forgiving.

    The third one is just eh to me.

  • I think #3 is too showy for a wedding...unless you're in it. ;) I love both black ones, although I bet the first one is pretty fitted - it has the potential to be really hippy! If it were me I would do #2..with a chunky red necklace :)

    Well, I do have some time...so my first thought was to order the first one, and then if I'm not a fan, I can return it and order a different one.

    Ha, I thought this too at first.  But as I've got to know the family...it wouldn't be too showy.  I do see your point.  I am drawn to black anyway, just because I feel comfortable in it, have the shoes and clutch, etc.

    I'm stalking Forever 21 for bracelets.  :)  I love their cheap jewelry!

  • I think #2 is good for a wedding, it's a little less revealing than 1 in the higher cut top.  I do love it (and #1 too of course)!
  • #1 for sure! #2 is pretty but those type of dresses are always awful on me and make me look pregnant. Have you tried all of these on? I love the 1 shoulder look.

    You can always order both if the return policy is over 30 days (I assume around that till the wedding). When my mom bought her dress for my wedding she had 3 up until a few weeks before because she couldn't decide!

  • Congrats on the awesome 15lb accomplishment!!

    I love #1 and #2. I say order both to try them on, then keep your favorite. I think I'm drawn more toward the fit of #2 but I love #1! 

  • BTW, where is dress #2 from?  I may have to get it for a wedding! :)

    They're all from Nordstrom.  The dress that I love and can no longer wear is this brand and it is seriously the most comfortable, flattering dress I've owned.

  • I haven't been able to try them on.  :(  The nearest Nordstrom is in STL, so I kind of want to order something before BF and I go on our winery trip so we can pass back through STL if I need to return it.
