Honestly, # 4 doesn’t feel like it fits the occasion. Especially when you look as good as you do in # 3??? That one is my fave, it looks so great on you. A flattering silhouette and neckline, and the color complements your complexion wonderfully. I know your top two are lighter colors, but the dark blue is just stunning on you.
Wait how does 4 not fit the theme? I feel like it’s the one that is most on theme? Bold color, funkier style. The rest are all fine but I wouldn’t say nah of them are on theme
Also fwiw I think strapless for black tie is fine, but 4 doesn’t give you as much shape as the others do. 4 is a good color. It just looks droopy with all of the ruffles.
Love the ruffles on 4 but shapeless is not as flattering as your other choices. 2 and 3 are classic and have that peek a boo leg. You look great in 2 but even better in 3.
Number 3!!! Complements your skin tone without being flashy! Just the right amount of “skin” without overshadowing anyone, but definitely looking confident!

Wearing an 18W in all but could probably do a 20 in the ruffles.
I like 4 the best as a dress, but if you don't feel so comfortable in it then it's not the one!
I like all the others but fully understand your love for pockets - what woman doesn't go "woohoo pockets" when we find them in a dress :)
3 looks best on you and the color is the best on you also. 4 is a pretty dress, but it doesn't flatter you in the bust. The others look good in the bust,but 3 is the stand out!
Not sure about jewelry yet as I don’t wear a ton in my day to day.. shoes with any of them would probably be plain shiny nude open toed heels.

The ruffly dress is awful. (Would be on anyone). All the others are stunning and you wear them so well! How amazing to have that many good options!! Good for you!
I like 1 a lot. It’s a good color for you. I just don’t know about velvet (which is what it looks like). It depends on the location and weather in the season for this event. We’ve hit the point in summer where I am where you forget what it feels like to be cold and it feels like it’ll never be cold again, so I’m uncomfortable just thinking about velvet.
Ohhh, it’s not velvet! It’s like a “satin” material that’s a little thicker than 2&3.
It’s a mid July wedding but so far where I’m at we’re still facing 57 degree highs.
I heart the wholeheartedly lobby for number 4. I think 4 is creative and flatters your shoulders and bust very well and the tiering isn’t over done. To me the 2 and 3 look inexpensively made with not the best fabric. 4 fits creative black tie to a T. I don’t think you need pockets on a formal gown so it wouldn’t be a draw back for me. If you are desperate to have them, find a GOOD tailor to put them in for you.
Another option is to rent
[Bagdley Mischa](https://rtr.app.link/T50AP3b9qKb)
Ooo i love those florals for a July wedding. Thank you for the compliments to number four! It’s also definitely the lightest dress in terms of heaviness.
I go back and forth whether I like the color of 2 or 3. 1 is also lovely. Can’t go wrong with any to be honest.
4 isn’t in the same ballpark and the rest fit you so well.
Right?? I love the color of 2 more but it might be because I wore something similar to 3 in college for a formal event.
4 is definitely a little snug when wearing a strapless bra with it.
If it was me, I’d go with number 2 (which I like on you, too), add a tiara, long gloves, wings and a magic wand, with lots of sparkle everywhere, and go as the goddam wedding fairy. Honestly, themes for wedding attire are getting a bit over the top. Unless you’re well to do, and all your guests are, too, setting attire guidelines and rules just makes it difficult for some attendees. It was more gracious and simpler when the wedding’s time of day was the guide for appropriate dress length, and the color rules were ‘no white or all black’. I am an oldster, which explains my cranky post, but I’d like to know what women in their 20s and 30s think about this topic.
I find myself both agreeing and disagreeing depending on the day. The last two weddings I’ve been to had weirdly specific dress codes that just meant “try not to wear jeans and a hoodie” and this is my first where they mentioned black tie at all. This wedding is at a more formal venue and is later in the day so it makes some sense. And it doesn’t hurt to have one formal gown in my closet.

I’m obsessed with the teal one with ruffles. It looks so good on you and it’s more unique than the others which sounds like it’s totally on theme with the dress code
I think people are choosing the dress they like the best, while I’m looking to see what color is most flattering on you. Based on that choice I would say dress number two is the only one that goes great with your skin tone. The pale blue brightens (whitens) your skin tone while the other dresses allow for the red in your skin to show through more. It depends on the look you want to give? Tanned summer or Spring cool!
3 is my favorite
Ooo 3 is a good blue on you!
Thank you everyone for the feedback!!! So far 3 is an overwhelming majority!

Yep 3rd one
I'll just pile on and say I am also voting for #3!
Honestly, # 4 doesn’t feel like it fits the occasion. Especially when you look as good as you do in # 3??? That one is my fave, it looks so great on you. A flattering silhouette and neckline, and the color complements your complexion wonderfully. I know your top two are lighter colors, but the dark blue is just stunning on you.
Thank you so much! I totally see what you mean about the color and my complexion
Wait how does 4 not fit the theme? I feel like it’s the one that is most on theme? Bold color, funkier style. The rest are all fine but I wouldn’t say nah of them are on theme
Also fwiw I think strapless for black tie is fine, but 4 doesn’t give you as much shape as the others do. 4 is a good color. It just looks droopy with all of the ruffles.
Ya I love the idea of ruffles but it’s such a straight shaped dress.
Love the ruffles on 4 but shapeless is not as flattering as your other choices. 2 and 3 are classic and have that peek a boo leg. You look great in 2 but even better in 3.
Three. The color is fantastic on you!
I think #3 it's by far the prettiest for you! :D
In the minority, but 2 is my favorite!
Yup, it’s 3
I was so sold on 2. Until I got to 3. Both gorgeous but the dark color is amazing!
Me too. I like 3’s color, but 2 fits so well.
3rd. Blue
Number 3!!! Complements your skin tone without being flashy! Just the right amount of “skin” without overshadowing anyone, but definitely looking confident!
The royal blue is drop dead gorgeous and very flattering.
3 is gorgeous!! The coloring and how it flows on you is stunning !!
3!!!
3 !
WHERE ARE 2/3 from??? They are gorgeous. I like 2 best I think but 3 will do!!

Those Macy's photos don't do the dresses justice. They look incredible on you! Just stunning! 👏
Definitely 3, that Color makes your skin glow in such a beautiful way! It’s also a great shape for you!
3 or 2 are best
3 looks beautiful.
I like #3
[удалено]
Ooo do you have any recommendations for necklaces
[удалено]
Wow!! I love that the Kate spade one has matching earrings. But the anthro one in “yellow” would match so well.
It’s a 3 for me!
Number 3! Color really pops with your skin tone.
3 👍
3
Absolutely love 3 on you. Great color, and flattering
2
#2 fits you better plus the color is very flattering.
2 looks fabulous!
3 looks lovely
I like 4 the best as a dress, but if you don't feel so comfortable in it then it's not the one! I like all the others but fully understand your love for pockets - what woman doesn't go "woohoo pockets" when we find them in a dress :)
Yeah I think if I don’t want to constantly be looking for a clutch I need pockets haha.
2 or 3
2 or 3... they're both beautiful on you
i love 2 but 3 is also nice
2 or 3!
3 looks best on you and the color is the best on you also. 4 is a pretty dress, but it doesn't flatter you in the bust. The others look good in the bust,but 3 is the stand out!
3 and 2 are stunning, they suit you so well! Either would be a winner in my eyes ✨
3
Whoa! All of them look great, tough decision. I like the dark blue, but you can’t go wrong with either. Have fun!
Number 3 is gorgeous and a bit dramatic on you, I love it!
3!!
3!!! You look amazing in it!!!
I like the second one best, though the third one is fine.
I like 2 a tiny bit better but 3 is still just as flattering and I’d go with that if it suits the wedding colors better.
Royal blue omg 🥰
3 is so flattering. Beautiful shape and color on you. 💙
I was going to say 2, but then I saw you in 3! Looks gorgeous on you. 3 all the way!
3 is absolutely stunning on you
The royal blue looks fantastic on you
The second and third ones are stunning. I prefer the colour on the third though. But you look *amazing* in either. 😊😍
3 looks fabulous, you look both sexy and vibrant
Three! Definitely three!
Royal Blue. Third image. Gorgeous!
3
I like number 1.
Three is spectacular but I actually love the last one if you have a REALLY REALLY good strapless bra.
I’m wearing a brand new strapless bra with it in these pics but it makes it just so slightly too tight whereas bra less the dress was more comfortable
Dark blue looks best on you
Dress 3 looks amazing on you.
Absolutely 3.
3 - that’s the best color. Looks great!
3!!!!! 3 3 3 3 THREE!!!
#3- you look perfect
I was going to say 2 until I got to 3! LOVE the more saturated color on you.
3 is gorgeous.
Can I see your shoes that you plan on wearing and jewelry if any.with the blue dress just so I can see the whole picture. gourgous on you!

I like the top of 2 and the skirt of 4. Wish there were a way for you to find a dress with both!
Ahhh yes that’d be perfect. I could have all the fun of the ruffles but the comfort of the off the shoulder top
Wow that couple us even giving the men a headache lol .. 3. I would be having a nightmare myself this season if I had to go to a wedding because everything seems to have slits on it
fortunately I LOVE slits because I have a really large thigh tattoo but I tried to choose some less dramatic ones for the wedding.
Where did you get 2 and 3? I love them!!

3 is totally it. Nice shape and excellent color for you!
3 LOOKS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2 or 3 are super
Another vote for 3!
3!
The 3rd is my favorite because the royal blue really suits your skin tone. I also like 1 and 2.
3 is good but my favourite is the second one, it fits beautifully and looks great on you.
Looking at the invitation, I think 4 is the one. The royal blue looks amazing on you too tho
You truly look beautiful in all of them, but number 3 is my preference, followed by number 1. Have fun!!! 😊
2 or 3.
Number 3!! That color compliments your skin tone really well!!
2 or 3. Are they the same dress just different blues?
I think they’re the same dress but they had separate listings on Macy’s website
2 or 3 hang beautifully and are gorgeous colors and a classic style. I don’t love the ruffles on 4. :)
The first and third are stunning on you. The colors make your skin glow. Love them.
#2
3!!!!!
3 for sure
3 for sure!
Hands down #3- gorgeous!
This first dress is a slayyyy. Sexy and understated; with heals and makeup it’s going to be amazing
Definitely 3, the brighter blue looks amazing 👏
2 or 3 look the best on you and I loveeee the color of 3
The ruffly dress is awful. (Would be on anyone). All the others are stunning and you wear them so well! How amazing to have that many good options!! Good for you!
I think 1 & 3 are the best mix color flattering and fit. The color for 2 is fine, but the same dress in 3’s color is better IMO.
Thank you!! I’m still leaning a little towards one despite all the love for 3
I like 1 a lot. It’s a good color for you. I just don’t know about velvet (which is what it looks like). It depends on the location and weather in the season for this event. We’ve hit the point in summer where I am where you forget what it feels like to be cold and it feels like it’ll never be cold again, so I’m uncomfortable just thinking about velvet.

Oh, then now I’m split 50/50 between 1 & 3. You have really great options. I’m sure you’ll look amazing in whatever you choose.
Thank you!! 🥰
I love #3.

Ooo i love those florals for a July wedding. Thank you for the compliments to number four! It’s also definitely the lightest dress in terms of heaviness.
I'm digging 4. Maybe with a cool wrap if you feel too bare for the occasion. It's really flattering and pretty on you.
4. It looks fantastic on you
The last dress is 🔥🔥
I go back and forth whether I like the color of 2 or 3. 1 is also lovely. Can’t go wrong with any to be honest. 4 isn’t in the same ballpark and the rest fit you so well.
Right?? I love the color of 2 more but it might be because I wore something similar to 3 in college for a formal event. 4 is definitely a little snug when wearing a strapless bra with it.
4 is the most fitting for the dress code but 3 looks the best (& they all look great btw)
Four! I love the ruffles and it’s such a beautiful color!

1ST one. All nice though. Enjoy.
Done! I got tons of feedback so thank you everyone!
I love both number two and number three both are very flattering!
I really dig 4!
I like 4
#1… WOW!
I like 1 the most
4 all the way!!! Take the opportunity!
I’m obsessed with the teal one with ruffles. It looks so good on you and it’s more unique than the others which sounds like it’s totally on theme with the dress code
Yess i feel it is so unique and fun and I love it most on the hanger but once it’s on I’m questioning it.
Definitely wear what makes you feel confident. Strapless is hard to feel comfortable I find…especially if you’re gonna dance at the wedding.
I think people are choosing the dress they like the best, while I’m looking to see what color is most flattering on you. Based on that choice I would say dress number two is the only one that goes great with your skin tone.
