Can y’all please help me find a wedding dress?

I love #1, when altered to fit you it will be perfect. Does it have a train?


#3 is a close runner up. Love the train, the color, and yes it would be more forgiving if you happened to gain any weight.
It’s really gotta be what you love. Take a few days to stop looking or thinking about it (I know easier said than done.). Maybe clearing your mind will help you decide.

#2 is my least favorite. I don't think it flatters you whereas the others do, a lot! I also feel like finding an undergarment to wear with that dress would be difficult for someone fuller figured, as the back and shoulders are so open I would think you would need cups sewn in but I'm not sure what would be supportive enough for an ample bust.

Does the first one have a train? If you like mermaid/fit-and-flare I like this one because I think the transition from the fitted hips to the flared lower part is a bit more gradual and looks more flattering than the second dress. If it has a train at all I think that would elongate the back more and make it even more flattering. The lace is really pretty and I think the neckline shows the perfect amount of skin while still looking supportive.

#3 is super pretty and flattering! You look like a princess, in the best way (generally, I'm not one who likes the "princess" wedding look because it feels kind of childish to me, but this is seriously gorgeous on you). I think the fabric and silhouette really flatter your shape and to me this looks like it would be the most comfortable and easiest to wear. I really liked #1 to start but as I look at these photos I think #3 is my favorite.

Absolutely #3. No contest. The Bell skirt in 1 would be fine with a petticoat. But the embellishment at the waist and the hour glass figure it shows are extremely flattering.

View Quoted Comment Wow thank you! This helps soo much I have a lot to think about

View Quoted Comment Sorry y’all keep saying petticoat . And I’m just assuming it’s what goes under the dress ?

View Quoted Comment Thank you to everyone who commented. That really means a lot to me !

View Quoted Comment Yes. Unlike the other, where surface ruffles determine how much if flares or poufs out, on the trumpet skirt #1, called that when the flare starts well above the knee at mid thigh, then gradually bells out, you can try on different ruffled slips, called petticoats, til you find one where the flare is best for your body proportions. And decide if it should go way out suddenly like #2, or very gradually. What is very wrong about dress #2 for you is that it pushes out in the wrong place, very high up. Instead of a flattering sinuous curve widest at shoulders and bust, inward at waist and a long outward curve hip to floor. #3, or #1 with the right person to oat, will give you that line. Your hips and butt look disproportionatly big in #2 because the skirt suddenly juts out. And seems to cut your figure in 3 pieces. Shortens your body line, and not at all a good choice for you. 🙂 If you are still at the try it on and see what looks good stage, don't bother with a true mermaid, that is not here. Mermaid, the flare of the skirt happens below the knee, sharply outward. Wrong for your figure. But you might do very well in a modified a line, with a dropped waist. That is a less full skirt than #3. And an asymmetrical ( one side different than the other) design. Many of these pull fabric toward one hip or have folds called Ruching, that are a body line closer to your more fitted dresses hugging a couple inches further down from the waist, before they pouf. Like a ballgown with a sleeker hip and half as full skirt. These can be great, or hit or mids, according to whether the gathers are in the right place. Right, they sweep your eyes across your tummy. Not right, they look like a bunched knot of fabric on your hip. But when right, they can be excellent on your type of figure, deep curves. But may have more of the princess's look than many fitted gowns, for FI.
Let me pull up and post links to a couple of asymmetrical drop waist modified a line dresses . Not looking at cost, just style.

Drop waist dresses flare anywhere from 3" below waist to lower hip, rather than mid thigh or below knee. All but one here is asymmetrical. And I included one ballgown on the same model as a dropped waist so you can see how each shows the figure. I still love your number 3. But do think you should try all types with a likelihood of flattering you.

Usually, since Maggie Sottero started doing the Curves collection, her site, current curve styles and old ones online are worth looking at, for what flatters a real plus size model. And her general collection goes into plus sizes, just that some suit only slim figures while others suit slim or curvy.

View Quoted Comment Omg thank you I will definitely Try on different ones .
Thank you this is a lot of info . Thank you for the pictures because I started to get lost and I saw the pictures I was just like ohhh !! So thank you

You look amazing in dress 3!! Plus you also look more relaxed which is super important. Yes you want a beautiful dress, but you want to be able to feel comfortable as well.

Two and three are jaw dropping

Depends on your general style and theme for your wedding. I think you look gorgeous in all three. Since I'm a more show your shape and curves kinda gal. I love 1 and 2 the most.
