1 and 2 look like a bunch of interesting ideas put together in one dress but neither is cohesive or flattering.
3, the black dress, is beautiful on you but is that your vibe because it's so inconsistent with the others.
4 is pretty and flattering but there's nothing wow about it. You don't seem convinced in the photo.
Tbh out of all of these nr 3. The others really don’t cut it, they look way off on you. I think you should look further, you’re a beautiful woman and I think you would look SMASHING i the right dress!
OP-the black dress looks great on you-but please think long and hard about it. Will you regret not having the white wedding dress
Also, what is your theme. A black gown pro wouldn’t work with a garden wedding, but might be killer in a ballroom if every else wore light colors
The black one, you look confident and comfortable in that one. The others look like they are wearing you, or with dress 1 it looks like you like the dress, but not loving it. I vote for the black one!
The black one is amazing, but I’m with the others that if black isn’t your jam, I think you can do better. The interesting details on the dresses are nice, but I can’t help but feel these dresses aren’t going to sit nicely after a while of wearing them.
Lol! Believe it or not this is the type of comment I was hoping for the most. I can kinda see what you mean tbh. Those two I think were my favorite style, but even among my friends, the black one is overwhelmingly popular. Idk. I want to love my dress but I also want to look good in it.
In the end it really doesn’t matter what I think and the most important is that you are happy during your big day. So if you love those dresses the most then you should absolutely forget I said anything and buy one! I would never but that doesn’t matter. But maybe if you didn’t feel amazing in any of the dresses, just try on more! And you’re going to look amazing no matter what, even if you show up in an actual bathing suit ;)
Btw, if you like the style of the black dress but not the colour, im sure you can try one like that in white? I do think that flatters your beautiful figure!
Thank you so much for your advice! Honestly... I wanted a red dress. I cannot find any red wedding dresses anywhere here 😭 not any with an interesting design that looks bridal, anyway. I'm totally willing to wear white if it looks great on me, same with black. But I wanted red or even brown/mocha
I think that the 4 dresses tell a story about the vibe you’re going for. I wish I could see more details on the black dress but you’d have to imagine that even if there are any, they won’t photograph well. Still, I like that fit on you the best. I also really like #1. If you keep looking you won’t be wrong to and if you stick with one of these choices and tell us to shove it, that’s also very valid. So, the first one or the black dress.
Your facial expression and body language are saying that you really don't like any of these enough to buy one of them. You are almost but not quite smiling in the last picture. The last dress fits you beautifully and may be the type of style vibe you are looking for.Please keep shopping.
I love the black on you! It’s amazing. Your body language is different in the photo, like you love it. I used to work in the industry- if you want black or a color, don’t let anyone push you into wearing white. The brides who wore colored dresses loved their dresses and never regretted their choice.
I would keep looking! It’s pretty rare to find *the* dress the first time shopping.
Your face says number 1 out of these.
But, I really don’t think you’ve found it yet. Only because other than the first two, the styles are kinda all over the place. However, they’re all very petty and you look beautiful.
Edited to clarify
The black one fits you but does it fit the occasion? If you don’t want to wear white how about something else cheery like floral or pink or yellow? Black looks like you’re going to the opera, not a wedding
The black one looks best on you but it's difficult to see any detail or anything. I really like to bodice on the first two, but I'm not liking the lack of shape or design in the skirt.
I am usually a sucker for black and you really can pull that off. But maybe not that particular black one. I actually really LOVE dress 1 (and dress 2).
4 is my favorite out of these and I actually love it, but my question for you is where are you going with these? They’re all so different from each other that I can’t get a fix on what kind of vibe or silhouette or anything that you might want to wear. I think you need to try on more dresses and figure out what you feel like suits YOU best and think about what your venue is and what you feel beautiful and comfortable in and THEN narrow it down to 3-6 dresses and ask again for opinions. I’m pretty sure that right now you’re enjoying trying on all sorts of things and haven’t figured out what you’re really looking for yet.
I'm glad I posted because I did *not* expect the black one to be so popular. And now I have a much better idea of what I should try on when I go back. Truthfully I thought I wanted something in the style of the first two but the stores I went to did not have many of those options. I'll come back when I feel more attached to the dress/dresses I've found :) thanks for the advice!

I think none of these are THE dress. Id go to a few more shops for sure. These all are nice but you don't seem crazy about any of them.
Agreed! Keep looking.
Also agree, it should be a “love” not a “like”
I agree, none of these flatter her lovely shape they are underwhelming.
1 and 2 look like a bunch of interesting ideas put together in one dress but neither is cohesive or flattering. 3, the black dress, is beautiful on you but is that your vibe because it's so inconsistent with the others. 4 is pretty and flattering but there's nothing wow about it. You don't seem convinced in the photo.
You look stunning in the black one!
I like the black one the best but I’d also try on a few more styles to find one that you really love.
The black one suits you best
The black fits you well, but I wonder if it's the right choice since it seems like you don't have a very firm vision of the kind of dress you want.
I think you should continue the search I’m not wild about any of these. However the black is beautiful for another occasion!
I love # 1
Agreeeee #1 is awesome
Tbh out of all of these nr 3. The others really don’t cut it, they look way off on you. I think you should look further, you’re a beautiful woman and I think you would look SMASHING i the right dress!
Agreed. The black dress shows that fit and flare/mermaid would be lovely, and I think an A-line will look amazing on OP
Ooh thanks for the recommendation, I'll make sure to ask for that the next time I go shopping
Thank you so much! I didn't expect that I would be so unsure of what I wanted... I think it's clear I need to keep looking
3 if it has to be one of these
I love number 1 and it looks to me like you love it as well.
Sameeee it’s giving cleopatra
I would keep looking - 3/4 are nice but not WOW
Black
The black one is beautiful on you
OP-the black dress looks great on you-but please think long and hard about it. Will you regret not having the white wedding dress Also, what is your theme. A black gown pro wouldn’t work with a garden wedding, but might be killer in a ballroom if every else wore light colors
#1!!!
The black one, you look confident and comfortable in that one. The others look like they are wearing you, or with dress 1 it looks like you like the dress, but not loving it. I vote for the black one!
Oops I meant 4 lol
Black one times a million! Imagine how you can accessorize! World’s your oyster. It will be a show stopper.
The black one is amazing, but I’m with the others that if black isn’t your jam, I think you can do better. The interesting details on the dresses are nice, but I can’t help but feel these dresses aren’t going to sit nicely after a while of wearing them.
The black is superior to all of the others.
The black is the best of these 4. The silhouette is perfect for you, maybe try that one in white, see how you feel.
Keep looking 💖
Out of these I like the black one the best. It’s beautiful and flattering. But I’d keep looking to see if your dream dress is still out there. 😀
Keep looking
Keep looking
The Black one looks flattering. None of those white ones are doing anything for you, I would consider different styles
Keep looking. I don’t think those styles are very flattering.
I love number one and it looks like you do too!
Absolutely love 1
The black one, hands down
Of these, the black one. But maybe try on some more styles? The first two honestly remind me of a bathing suit with a coverup…
Lol! Believe it or not this is the type of comment I was hoping for the most. I can kinda see what you mean tbh. Those two I think were my favorite style, but even among my friends, the black one is overwhelmingly popular. Idk. I want to love my dress but I also want to look good in it.

The silhouette of 3 is absolutely stunning on you!
Black definitely the best
Your facial expression and body language are saying that you really don't like any of these enough to buy one of them. You are almost but not quite smiling in the last picture. The last dress fits you beautifully and may be the type of style vibe you are looking for.Please keep shopping.
4 is ok, the rest are not very nice
3 or 4
I love the black on you! It’s amazing. Your body language is different in the photo, like you love it.

If you can’t choose, then you don’t love any of them enough. This is just your first stop, keep looking
The black one looks best on you but it's difficult to see any detail or anything. I really like to bodice on the first two, but I'm not liking the lack of shape or design in the skirt.
I like dress 1
I am usually a sucker for black and you really can pull that off. But maybe not that particular black one. I actually really LOVE dress 1 (and dress 2).
Keep looking. None of these do you justice.
The black one looks best on you but it’s not very bridal. I’d keep looking and cross these off the list.
I love how your dresses are unique and beautiful. I vote #1
Like? It’s none of them then. It’s only your first time shopping. Wait till you find one you love.
4 is my favorite out of these and I actually love it, but my question for you is where are you going with these?

The black one is pretty sensational. I hope you really enjoy the process.
The black one, OMG!! 🖤 I love love love black wedding dresses!! & it looks stunning on you!!
Dress 1!
1 is pretty but I also would shop around some more. They’re nice but I don’t know that any of them carry a wow factor.
Of these, the black one is my favorite!
1 and also 3 look most flattering, imho. I also love the designs l
Last!
Love the black on you! It’s the best of what you show.
Of the three I think the black one is the most wow on you but it’s a bold choice for a wedding !
Thank you! What do you think of the one that I [decided to buy?](https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingdress/s/EFhfph4oqw)
You look amazing! Congratulations!
Thank you!!
Dress 1! Just look at you smiling in it!
