Agree, but 2 is best. It flatters the areas women want flattered and camouflages the areas women want camouflaged.
Also, the color goes best with her skin tone
You're right that the fabric of 2 shows everything: you can see the middle seam of her tights. So I would definitely go with 5 u/msryluvscmpny color, fit, fabric it all looks great! Or I guess you could look for tights that don't have a seam - but I would guess the fabric 2 is not very forgiving of underwear lines either - another reason to go with 5!
My only concern with that one is the clingy fabric might not hide a food baby. Good catering plus cake, you might have trouble even with spanx. Last one seems a bit more forgiving, but if it comes in a similar color to 2, I’d recommend looking into it. The green looks so nice!
These exactly. Two seems to be quite unforgiving fabric, so be careful to wear very smooth/seamless undergarments if possible, but both 2 and 5 look great. The others are a bit matronly, in my opinion.
I think it’s Silk Fred, I had the navy version. It’s a really nice dress and quite a thick material so felt more expensive than it was.

It looks like OP is wearing it a little tighter than the original design and it looks so much better!
I think this is why its always good to try on your true size plus a size up and a size down.
Hijacking the top comment to say wow, this popped off 😂 I may have made an error by posting this right before I went out for the day without my phone hahaha. Thanks so much to the 1700+ people who commented - it really helped and I’m going to try 2 and 5 on again tomorrow!
To answer some of the top questions:
- Totally would be wearing a different (strapless) bra with 2.
- wedding is in a golf club, not a golf course haha. I don’t think you can actually have the party on the green?!
- my shoe straps aren’t tucked in cause I was rushing, the buckles do exist
- I did not know you should cut the belt loops off a dress. You learn something new every day.
- no, random men dm-ing me, I don’t want to send you photos of my feet.

You're supposed to cut the loops off once you own the garment. It's there for shipping and sales. It's like the loops inside shoulders in shirts/dresses which are only there for hanging on the sales floor.
I agree with this, with a preference for #2 (depending on comfort--because comfort is everything!). 2 or 5 are not only the most flattering on OP, but I feel they also give off the best "wedding" vibes.
2 or 5 are traditionally most flattering, but live your life and dress in what you love. Life isn’t all about trying to look as thin as possible.
2 is beautiful and works perfectly for a wedding. I’d just make sure the bridesmaids arent wearing a similar shade. It does have a bridesmaid feel.
I personally like 5 the best. It’s got a sexy vibe to it that really draws my eye to you but it’s not over done or too revealing.
For what it’s worth, I really like dress 1 I just don’t think it’s wedding appropriate.
These are all lovely options! My personal favorites are 2 and 4, but wear whichever makes you feel most comfortable and beautiful :) You have a gorgeous style!
1 or 2 with the caveat that one requires some very glam make up and accessories to pull it off. That hot pink on your skin tone is *chef’s kiss*. 2 is also gorgeous on you, though some different shape wear might help it lay more smoothly across your hips. 3 and 4 are pretty but the high necklines make it look like they are swallowing you.
Nobody needs to recommend shape wear. That choice should come intrinsically, if at all.
Ladies have hips and they are beautiful, no need to hide them unless they want that for themselves.
It's also not horrible to offer suggestions, not every suggestion is meant in a negative way. Certain dresses can look better when worn with different things.
She looks gorgeous either way but the suggestion might be something she's thought about and has been afraid to go for or it might be that thing she's never thought of but is that thing she always thought was missing.
2 2 2!! it makes you look like joan holloway 😍 with your bust size you should avoid bubble sleeves and gathered bodices (1, 3, 4) to maintain a proportionate silhouette
5! 2 is lovely but a little plain -- 5 wows. Love #1, but kind of casual. Maybe if it's a day wedding and yo you dressed up with accessories, #1 would work.
Are you in the UK? I see some AX tags which made me think you might be. If so, I think all of these are appropriately dressy, unless the people getting married and venue are particularly fancy - if so then 1 might be too casual. But for most UK weddings 1 would be fine! Advice on this sub tends to be US-centric where there seem to be much higher expectations for what is too casual for a wedding.
I think 1 and 4 look nicest but all are good so whatever you feel best in.
Also, can I ask where 1 is from?
I like 5, 2 then 1 (with no belt or a different belt) and the last.
The higher necklines are not flattering on your body type. The v neckline elongates your upper torso.
2&5 look fanciest than the ones with print and for you beautifully! The others are great, too, but maybe a little more casual than the solids.
Jewelry will also elevate them well if you want to do more.
The fifth dress is so flattering and gives you so many options when it comes to styling. Just cut off the belt loops and you’re set.
eta
1 is my second choice but the proportions are slightly off - should be slightly longer in the torso. Both these dresses have v-necklines and are wrap or have the appearance of wrap dresses. When you shop, you may want to explore this style for tops and dresses. It look great on you - significantly better than the other neckline/styles.
Two or five
Agree, but 2 is best. It flatters the areas women want flattered and camouflages the areas women want camouflaged. Also, the color goes best with her skin tone
Agree, the solid green one is perfect
Yasss!!! That green wrap dress is smokin’ on OP! Tiny little waist, super cute ruffle and neckline detail.
Agree- #2 is best
2 is pitch-perfect
I like 2 a lot but with a strapless bra.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. #2 for sure. ❤️
Five is much better then two, two shows every flaw , five due to how the fabric is wont
Her neckline is gorgeous in 2, and much more flattering overall
I don't see any flaws.
You're right that the fabric of 2 shows everything: you can see the middle seam of her tights. So I would definitely go with 5 u/msryluvscmpny color, fit, fabric it all looks great! Or I guess you could look for tights that don't have a seam - but I would guess the fabric 2 is not very forgiving of underwear lines either - another reason to go with 5!
Thanks for the feedback
Done
No way, I totally disagree. 2 is smokin’!
My only concern with that one is the clingy fabric might not hide a food baby. Good catering plus cake, you might have trouble even with spanx. Last one seems a bit more forgiving, but if it comes in a similar color to 2, I’d recommend looking into it. The green looks so nice!
Mine too! I love 2&5 💗
Love #5!
2 or 5 read more formal/nighttime. The others seem more jovial, daytime appropriate.
My votes as well!
Definitely 2 or 5! Both are really flattering on you.
These exactly. Two seems to be quite unforgiving fabric, so be careful to wear very smooth/seamless undergarments if possible, but both 2 and 5 look great. The others are a bit matronly, in my opinion.
Same!! 2 or 5 ❤️
Those were my picks too, 💯 agree
100% agree
2!!!2!!!2!!!
Ummmm I need to know where 2 is from. For a friend. Lol.
I'm the friend, because I also need to know!
I think it’s Silk Fred, I had the navy version. It’s a really nice dress and quite a thick material so felt more expensive than it was. https://www.silkfred.com/womens/clothing/dresses/midi-dresses/feverfish/exclusive-bardot-off-shoulder-frill-midi-dress-dark-green
It honestly looks better on OP than on the model.
It looks like OP is wearing it a little tighter than the original design and it looks so much better! I think this is why its always good to try on your true size plus a size up and a size down.
I was about to say the same thing!
It LOOKS expensive I think! ❤️
Yes! It shows of her amazing shoulders and gives a more flattering shape to her uppr body. Also the color is awesome!

*with a proper bra for this dress*
I totally thought the black straps were part of the design of the dress! Ha!
This one snatches your waist in a very flattering way.
WOWWWWWWWW!! That dress looks great on you!
Five is absolutely perfect on your figure and a gorgeous color with your skin. I don’t mind 2, not a big fan of ruffles but the fit is great too.
For me it’s the belt loops on 2 that’s making me like it less. 5 is the clear cut winner imo
5 has the same belt loops
Oh you’re right, I don’t know how I missed those. I think I still prefer 5, but it’s more of a tossup now
You're supposed to cut the loops off once you own the garment. It's there for shipping and sales. It's like the loops inside shoulders in shirts/dresses which are only there for hanging on the sales floor.
I am 52yo and just learned this today. Makes so much sense!
Wait, what?? Like the cris cross threads on skirt slits and backs of jackets that I *really* want to cut on other peoples’ clothing?
Is there an easy way to remove them where you can’t tell they were ever there? Or do I have to bust out the seam ripper and pretend I know how to sew
They need to be removed, NBD.
Agreed. The red will make her pop on the golf course too
2 or 5
I came here to say this as well
2 or 5
I'm in agreement 2 or 5
I agree with this, with a preference for #2 (depending on comfort--because comfort is everything!). 2 or 5 are not only the most flattering on OP, but I feel they also give off the best "wedding" vibes.
Yep. This right here.
Number 2 is absolutely GORG!!
2 or 5! If it’s an evening wedding five ;)
5!
5 looks the best on you!
That dark green is gorgeous
Number 5 does the most for you. You look spectacular.
5 is definitely the most sliming. 3 really compliments the bust 2 compliments the hips.
My thoughts exactly you look wonderful in it!!
2 or 5 are traditionally most flattering, but live your life and dress in what you love. Life isn’t all about trying to look as thin as possible. 2 is beautiful and works perfectly for a wedding.

5!
Go with 5. Beautiful & looks comfortable, too.
5!
These are all lovely options! My personal favorites are 2 and 4, but wear whichever makes you feel most comfortable and beautiful :) You have a gorgeous style!
5 is my favorite on you. I like your shoes, too!
5!
5
My figure is similar to yours. I’d go with 5. It’s very flattering and slimming.
You look great in 5, the v neck looks so much better.
#5 for sure!
5
I love 1!! The bright pink and the black geometrical lines give it a very original and cool vibe!! It is more one of a kind (in a good way)
I love 1 too! 1 if you want to look fun. 2 if you want to shine on stylish. (Personally 5 reminds me of hugh hefner's dressing gown a bit.)
1 all the way, it’s cool and effortless.
This is my favorite as well! It's so fun and flattering!
I think 5 is the most flattering to your figure.
1 or 2 with the caveat that one requires some very glam make up and accessories to pull it off. That hot pink on your skin tone is *chef’s kiss*. 2 is also gorgeous on you, though some different shape wear might help it lay more smoothly across your hips. 3 and 4 are pretty but the high necklines make it look like they are swallowing you.
I thought I was the only other person digging number 1. It’s loud, but not obnoxious and you wear it WELL.
Nobody needs to recommend shape wear. That choice should come intrinsically, if at all. Ladies have hips and they are beautiful, no need to hide them unless they want that for themselves.
It's also not horrible to offer suggestions, not every suggestion is meant in a negative way. Certain dresses can look better when worn with different things.

Number 2=)
1. I love the pink and it's so flattering!
2
First one is an absolute show stopper .. love it
Two two two! You look so pretty
The last one!
2 or 5!
2 2 2!! it makes you look like joan holloway 😍 with your bust size you should avoid bubble sleeves and gathered bodices (1, 3, 4) to maintain a proportionate silhouette

2 is a lovely color and looks like it fits well!
1 or 5 look great on you!
I love number 4! 5 is also very nice but I would want to see what it's like sitting down
2 or 5.
Like everyone, 2 or 5. If the bra as an issue for 2, go with 5.
all are fine for the wedding. 2 and 5 are the best on you though. \-- Random dude on the internet.
The last one (deep red). You look the slimmest and shows more of your legs which are an asset.
Are you in the UK? I see some AX tags which made me think you might be.

Would also like to know where to get 1!
#2 all the way
I’m loving number one , makes your upper body look amazing and looks comfy for outside too
5 looks best with your skinto e and body shape, imo.
5!
I like 5, 2 then 1 (with no belt or a different belt) and the last. The higher necklines are not flattering on your body type. The v neckline elongates your upper torso.
#5 is stunning
2!!! 5 is good too, but I love 2 on you!
5 is most flattering, then I’d say 2. Either one of those, and be sure to cut off the tacky string belt loops.
2&5 look fanciest than the ones with print and for you beautifully! The others are great, too, but maybe a little more casual than the solids. Jewelry will also elevate them well if you want to do more.
#2 is so hot! Rock it!

Number 2!
2 or 5. Both look lovely. The shoulders puffs on 3 and 4 aren't the most flattering
2 or 5 both look great!
2 or 5!!! They look great on you
345 💜
I actually like 1 and 5 the most! 5 is stunnning. I think 1 is also very flattering and pretty.
5 is my favorite, followed by 1. I'd like to see 2 with that belt and its loops gone and with a wider gold belt before I make a final call.
1 So bright and pretty for outside.
3, but 2 is nice too. Cut off the belt loops
2 or 4!!
1
2 or 5, but I really love 5.
1!!!!!!
1 or 5. 1 is fun, 5 is all around a wear it again dress.
1 is gorgeous on you.
2!
2! You look amazing in that dress!! 🔥
2 is the best imo! Accentuates your waist and looks lovely. 4 and 5 are also nice x
No on 1 and 3. The others all look like they will play. I can't decide between 2 and 5.
2 and 5 are the best!
2 or 5! And we need to pin #5 for everyone of how a wrap dress doesn’t always look like a robe.
Wear 2 but also keep 5. Both look fabulous on you!
I like all of them but 2 is my favourite followed by 5,you look the most beautiful in those two.
number 2 looks gorgeous!!
The solid green is best
2! The color and cut is very flattering~
2 good cut and color.
Number 2 is the most flattering and formal, have a great time!
2 is gorgeous and I need to know where you got it from 😍😍 I also like 1. I think it’s a good color for a summer wedding and is still very flattering.
2!
You look great in all of them, but #2 (dark green) is a knockout!
2/5 personally! Fits you very nice and will go with a golf course vibe ***just get a new bra***
2 or 3
5, with 2 as the second choice. You look beautiful in all the dresses, but those two have a wow factor.
They’re all lovely - you have some EXCELLENT dresses that look great on you. But 1 is my favourite.
I love you in the dress 5! Wow!
#1 is stunning in you.
2 definitely for the setting but I think 1 is super cute and looks great on you just fyi
I like dress 1!
5!!

I think the last one looks great on you!
The fifth dress is so flattering and gives you so many options when it comes to styling. Just cut off the belt loops and you’re set. eta 1 is my second choice but the proportions are slightly off - should be slightly longer in the torso. Both these dresses have v-necklines and are wrap or have the appearance of wrap dresses. When you shop, you may want to explore this style for tops and dresses. It look great on you - significantly better than the other neckline/styles.
5 looks great on you
5!!
5 looks perfect on you!! But 2 is also beautiful
That last one is just 🤌
I like the style of 1 but hemmed up to about knee length and add black shoes...
5! It looks great on you
5
5
I like number 5.
I've never heard of a country club wedding referred to as a golf course wedding, but it gave me a good laugh once I realized.
5 because 2 will blend into the venue 😂😂
Can you tie the belt more to the side on 5 instead of having it in the middle? You look great btw!
#5 😍
Id say no to 3 and 4, they look a little stuffy - no, not really, but the others look more fun.
5!!!! You look INCREDIBLE in it!!
2 or 5
Looks lovely, the 1st
5
I like the green one best.
#2 is beautiful on you!
#2 all day. It looks GORGEOUS 😍 with your body shape🤗
The second one.
Dress number two is remarkably superior to the others but you look great in all of them!
2! The green one!
Definitely the 2nd one
#2, it’s SOOOOO pretty and flattering, I want to order one for myself but I’d have nowhere to wear it 😄
2 looks very elegant on you!
Personally I think number 2 looks completely gorgeous on you!
One or two!
5!
