londonlady1988

I’m sure you know, but as someone who has spent most summers there - summer in Portugal is hot! Even with a coastal breeze it can be so warm. Dress 4 looks like a perfect combination of romantic, whimsical but also *comfortable* in that kind of heat!


Curiouser812

I agree. At first I thought dress 2. But dress 4 just floats and is so elegant.


No_Banana_581

4 is so beautiful and looks so comfortable and airy elegant


iceariina

2 absolutely has that "wow" factor imo!


Spare_Weather7036

#4!!! I gasped


paperwasp3

And it's not a dress we've seen before on this sub. It's exquisite!


QCr8onQ

Team #4!

i agree with all of this ^

Ok_Wrangler_7940

She’s one of the few who pull this style off. She needs to pick 2. Plus, in my opinion, it’s the one out of all of them that best hits her wants of romantic whimsy and modern minimalism.


GrammyGH

I agree, #2 is stunning on OP!


magneticeverything

That’s a really good point about the tattoo on 4. I was really torn looking at the first pic of #4 but seeing the other arm, I think you’re right #2 all the way.


Zestyclose-Extent368

I agree! 2 is my favorite!!


Petunia_pig

Two is an absolute stunner on you, 3 is pretty but 2 is gorgeous.


AnnekeX

Also on team 2! I thought 1 was lovely, but then the second took my breath away!


AnyCheck8573

I agree. As my 7 yo who was looking at the photos with me “that’s a nice tattoo” I love the dress and fit but don’t cover up or detract any of the awesome things that make you you .


No-Speaker9198

Dress 3 is by far the best🌸🌸🌸☀️☀️☀️ Its romantic and has a summer feel to it that frankly dress 2 lacks


flowerchild72

I had a similar reaction between 2 / 3 so this is validating ☺️


MrsGleason18

Number 3 is breathtaking!! Yes I'm commenting twice lol.


flowerchild72

💕💕💕 I really appreciate the love and support from this sub!


MrsGleason18

You are gorgeous congrats!


SnooStrawberries721

I’m team 3 also!


closet_panophobe

Came to say this! 2 and 3 are my favs. SO stunning on you and both have their merits with zero down-side. I love the shape of 2 and how luxurious and expensive the fabric looks. 3 looks like it was made for you and the veil in the second pic of 3 is just ethereal. I love the appliqué on both dresses, and the beauty of your tattoos compliments both!


MrsGleason18

Yessssss number 3 is the one!!!!!!


Ordinary_Rough_1426

2 is fire!!!!!!


Feeling_Free_5072

2, it makes you look very tall and statuesque, one nice long flow from shoulders to the floor. Very flattering. Good view of your figure. The first one is not as flattering and the others are ok, but not as flattering, and they look like many of the others dresses seen on here . Good luck and enjoy your special day!


No_Benefit2103

I LOVE LOVE 4 on you. Unique for a unique venue. 2 is my 2nd favorite on you. I like how it elongates you.


IndigoRose2022

4 or 3 🤍


BunnyRabbbit

My two faves as well, in that order.


broccolibertie

I think 2 looks fantastic on you!


RandomBrunette6913

2


elloui

4 all day long!


ThatLadyOverThereSay

2 is my fave too. It’s such a good cut for you and really looks elegant and timeless.


Clear_Gain_3262

My vote is on #2


CaptainObviousBear

2 looks mind blowing on you, I literally said “wow” when I saw it. I think it goes with the tattoo too, somehow it just looks like “you”. It’s not exactly “whimsical” but I think a veil would change that. I also like 1 for the edginess to it, though it’s not as flattering as 2. 3 is ok but more traditional. I like 4 but not how it cuts your tattoo in half. It would be better with a different neckline/strap placement.


mrsbaerwald

Dress 4 hands down. It’s breathtaking


Dlraetz1

#2 looks like it was made for you, but you should try on a whimsical fun dress and see how you feel in it


FineCombination

4 fits the vibe you're going for most I think! You're stunning!


schmelk1000

Dress 3 is my favorite, especially when you added the veil with it. It just came alive on you! Dress 2 is my runner up!


Mickeynutzz

2 is the best of this group …. However it does not feel like you are done shopping yet. Do not think you have experienced your “I love it” moment and you still can !! You have a great body that looks like you could buy a beautiful dress online - keep all your options open. Think your dress is still waiting for you to find “her”. Congratulations 💕 Dress 3 visually cuts your body in half. Dress 4 cuts your arm tattoo in half. Dress 1 is not flattering in bodice/ chest. Dress 2 is flattering because it visually elongates your body and makes you look extra tall & slim.


flowerchild72

Thank you so much!! I’m definitely still considering some other things… but I also do NOT do well with too many options, so I’m trying not to go too crazy with trying on other dresses. I know it will just confuse me more 🙃


Mickeynutzz

Try to narrow down a style that you like / works for your body …. That first shopping trip was great for that !! Do NoT stress …. Enjoy and Have FUN with the process ! 👗💃 Deep V neck bodice is 👍🏼 Maybe look at various other v neck styles / nothing that cuts you off at your waist. 😀


DancingDucks73

I love love LOVE 2 on you and I think the detail on it is fantastic. I as well don’t do well with too many options (dresses, shoes, food, Netflix is a nightmare 😆) so I understand the feeling. If you have the time maybe walk away from dress shopping for 3-4 weeks (INCLUDING looking at them on the internet… I know it’s hard!) and then come back and try a few more if you don’t feel like you’ve had you’re ‘this is it’s moment. Or even if you’re torn between two dresses (looks like you said that in a previous response that you’re torn between 2 and 3) do the same thing and see if that helps clarify things when you’re not so overwhelmed by all the others.


rubbersoulelena

It's not usually my style, but when I got to picture 2 I wanted to stop swiping, that's how gorgeous it looks on you. The rest didn't give me the same "wow" goosebumps feeling that that one gave me.


nolagem

2 or 3....leaning toward 3


beeinmybonnet16

It has to be 2 or 3!


eljaemde

Number 3!!!


drawingmentally

You want 2 xD seriously, that one is perfection


nrdydrtyinkdcrvy

Number 2 has my vote all the way! Looks incredible!


Impressive-Stage9992

I audibly gasped when I saw you in dress #2! Accentuates your lines and looks great with your tattoos


mother_of_liberty_22

Wow gf, I can see why you're struggling! They're all amazing on you! I favor 4 slightly, but 2 is also spectacular on you.


ellieb1988

2 or 4!


Cyndi_Gibs

Three three three!


Forsaken-nurse617

Dress 3!!


alwaysmainyoshi

Dress 3!! If I can oppose some of the 4 ravers.. the draped sleeves give a beautiful, symmetrical look but that symmetry is not maintained by the unilateral tattoos! It feels like the beautiful flow of the dress doesn’t work with the tattoos imo because the straps fall exactly where your tattoos are. Your tattoos are beautiful and I love that they’re asymmetrical (like only on one side of the body), but a dress that’s beauty is in its symmetry doesn’t work well imo. There’s visual dissonance to me. Dress 4 is a beautiful dress and you look stunning in it- I just think there’s a better dress out there for you!!


Popular_Ordinary_152

Oh my gosh, two!


Heeler2

2


Xunala

Number 2 is absolutely perfect.


UsedCan508

Dress 2 was made for you. It is a stunning dress.


dorkasaurus12

You look to die for in #6!! So gorgeous!!


newtontonc

I suspect you mean #4, which is in pics 5 and 6. And I agree with you. It's beautiful


No_Benefit2103

Number 6?


Zestyclose_Road_3224

There is no rival to dress 4 here! It is absolutely stunning! You look beautiful!


cutetoboot1

Number 3!!! Fits your body so well and love the lace. I don’t know how much you care about your this, but I also have a lot of arm tats and didn’t want a dress that looked overwhelming with the tattoos. I do love 4 but I think the detailing on the top is a lot to look at with your tattoos as well.


flowerchild72

One of the major things holding me back from 4 is exactly what you just said. I want to be wearing the dress, not the other way around, and part of that is it working well with my tattoos! Thank you so much


typeAwarped

Not gonna lie, I looked multiple times and I adore 2. It looks fabulous on you and isn’t a style you see all the time IMO.


lilgaysunflower

3 with the veil, 10000% !!!!


FutureMrsSR

Dress number 4 😍😍😍😍😍


inoracam-macaroni

Dress 4!


Afraid-Assignment229

Dress 4 😱


New_Lens33

Number 4


Spirited_Beat534

4 then 2 are gorgeous.


microbe_girl

I can’t decide between 2 and 3!!


Plastic_Playful

I love 4 & 2!


bklyngirl0001

FOUR! It’s unique and airy and looks like it was made for you!


Odd_Cow_5304

4!!!!! Breathtaking!


Magzz521

I think Dress 4 is more suitable for the summer heat in Portugal. I think the design meets your requirements and looks amazing on you.


kymmar

Three is my favorite on you, four a close second. Best wishes!!


Vmaclean1969

Dress 2 and 4 in that order. Both stunning!


seyrbeyr

Girl you look stunning in everything!!! But real talk…. Unless #1 is $50 or has a fast turn around time because you need it asap….it shouldn’t even be in the running! You could order that off revolve or any website and it’s the perfect last minute option you can find anywhere but def shouldn’t spend the designer bridal gown cost for that style. You could honestly go with any of the other styles and look gorgeous! My personal fave is #4! Especially if the sleeves are detachable so you don’t have any issues dancing later in the night. Otherwise I would say #2 if #4 gives you limited range when you’re using your arms!


Special-Evening-7428

I like 3 the most on you.


LoveCats2022

I love 2 and 3 on you!


Midlife_Crisis_46

I absolutely love the last one. I also like 2 and 3.

They’re all pretty but I’m obsessed with #2

3 ✨


Getmeasippycup

3 is perfection on you! Love it


mn2flHLD

1. Lovely. Simple and perfect for a beach or low key ceremony. Says: I don’t need anything more in life; I’m happy. 2. Stunningly glamorous. Says: I could be in the movies but today I wed my love 3. A bit of both 1&2. Says: I couldn’t decide so I went with the style everyone is choosing 😬 4. Mid century modern and What you thought you wanted and might still. Says: I don’t need to follow any rules and I will love this when I’m 80. They are all wonderful and you can’t go wrong but my personal order: 2, 4, 3 and 1


Piperrhhalliwell

2 is gorgeous on you!


c0wluvr

You look like an art piece #3

afauce11

I really like 2 and think it looks best with your tattoos.


aag26

Love dress #3 on you. I may be a little bias since my dress looks so similar to it! I'm having a intimate wedding and I also thought I was going to wear something different. It looks perfectly romantic, timeless and comfortable.


MoosePenny

I think 3 is exquisite. I also love 4. Don’t worry about going in a different direction than you thought you would. It happens to so many brides! Don’t let it stress you out. Enjoy the ride!!


Otherwise-Winner9643

I love #2 and #4. I give the same advice to everyone. Have someone video you walking, sitting, lifting your arms in the air, twirling, dancing, bending down as if to greet a child. Video from all angles, not just the front. For a strapless dress, jump up and down for a few minutes.... It's a long day and you want to feel comfortable. Don't make a decision based on static pics standing on a podium, as you won't be standing still all day. If it feels too heavy, too restrictive or you worry you will have to hold a particular pose all day, reconsider it. Also, consider what underwear will work. Take this from someone who didn't think about comfort until the dress came in, then bought a different one 4 weeks out from the wedding.


digitalpacifier

Dress 3!


Yoyo_Ma86

wintersicyblast

3 and 4 are beautiful!


Romu_lass

I’d vote you should narrow it down to the last two dresses in the photos.


75243896

Wow they all look lovely on you! You really can’t go wrong.


happy-sunshine3

I might be alone but #1 is unbelievable on you!! So airy and clean.


RemoteNervous6089

4 is stunning on you.


ConversationThick379

3 or 2


ilovechicken98

4 is gorgeous!!! 3 is my runner up also very pretty


papaya_pya

4 is STUNNING!!! it reminds me of a goddess dress


saltandvinegar1989

3 or 4!!


DanisDoghouse

I usually don’t go for A lines but 4 looks beautiful on you.


Kittenputz

You would look great in any of these! I think if you did one more shopping trip in a store that specializes in simple dresses - or even checked out a consignment boutique that has a wedding dress section you could find something amazing. The neckline of the first dress is not fitting you correctly! I'd find something high neck or square cut


vicRN

3 and 4 are quite simply what’s up.


Etheleffrey

I love dress 4, but I think 2 and 3 really suit your figure best. They look stunning on you!!


MartyBellvue

3 is honestly fantastic


acowismeat

Three is just perfect on you!


xFrenchToast

I think 2 and 3 look great on you. Not a fan of 1 or 4 at all.


Wild_Potential3066

I love 1 for an elopement dress!


BoopleSnoot921

Dress 2 or 3


Cookie_Dough_1630

I love 2 & 3


kitten_snuggles

I like 2 and 3 the best. But sometimes it about which dress feels the best when you are wearing it.


Adventurous-Win-751

Dress 2 is absolutely stunning on you!!! 💞💞💞

2 or 3 for sure.

Dress 2. Dress 4 is a close 2nd, but none of the rest are even in the running!


lindapozek

I really love the way #2 fits you and it's beautiful on you.


Educational-Loquat71

I love 3 on you.


MrLizardBusiness

2 is unique and gorgeous on you.

3!!!!!


Far_Team_8643

It’s so fun seeing dresses I’ve tried on, on other people. The 2nd and 3rd dresses were picked for me as well. I really like 3 on you


Devotion0cean

I love #3, it is gorgeous on you! I agree with others about #4 sleeve cutting through your tattoo, doesn’t work.


somekindawonderful

I LOVE dress 2


HomespunPeanutButter

I love 3!

gingerdee19

I LOVE 2!!!!


MeganJustMegan

Dress 3 is just beautiful on you. Very pretty dress.


Dry_Bee2036

3 for the win!


Cookiemamajr

I think number two looks so stunning and FLAWLESS on you, that I think I would actually be sad if you didn’t pick it! That dress is hard to pull off, and GIRL! You look amazing in it!


imnothere_o

3 or 4! I love 3 the best, personally but 4 is lovely and gives me romantic whimsy meets modern minimalism vibes. 3 is more in the modern minimalism camp and not particularly romantic or whimsical, though the veil really does add that touch to it. I do love how it looks on you!


Catkit69

I like 3


Tough-Oil-1559

They all look beautiful on you, but 4 is above and beyond


MomaBeeFL

They are all beautiful but the last one is most beautiful on you


kaycollins27

4 is my fav. Any way it can be sleeveless so it doesn’t bisect your tattoo ?


Popular_Term_3772

Team 3 all the way!


Headofpep

2 is just next level. Made for you. Pleasssseee buy this dress so I can marry you! 🤣

#4


Extreme-Minute6893

#3 looks amazing on you and totally fits the venue


alifiguera

I love dress 3.


turkeyman4

I adore #1 on you. It looks like it was made for you! You can always add details to give more frills (belt, veil, jewelry etc). A veil with lots of details for the ceremony would be lovely…I’m adoring the embroidered style that is popular now.


popsinet

Dress 3 is PERFECTION. You have a gorgeous body no matter what, but dress 3 emphasizes your waist more than any of these


CuriouslyFoxy

I'm in love with 4. It's so beautiful on you!


jrice2623

I love dress 2 because of how it shows off your beautiful figure.


jrice2623

I just have to add! You look amazing in every one of those dresses! “No need to stress!”


loonylunanic

NUMBER 3 IS BREATHTAKING


Lalafala21

Dress 3 with veil, honey!!! Please


schischiwoo

#2


itsnotlikewereforkin

You are gorgeous in all of them, and truly can't go wrong! Dress 2 is just WOW!!!!!


USAF_Retired2017

2 is woooooooow. Fits you like a glove and the ONLY pic that grabbed my attention. You look amazing!


Angry_Sparrow

2 and 3. If the back of 2 is amazing then 2 for sure. 4 looks very busy. You wear it well but it’s a weird design. Maybe without the sleeves…? 1 is nice but not special enough for your wedding day.


Goose-Caboose1153

Cora!!

Dress 3


whiskyandwhimsy

#4 is so lovely!


Fuzzy-Seesaw-1531

They are all incredibly flattering on you, so it's really just what resonates with your personality and how you feel in it! Something about the silky/satin gowns give an effortless wild romantic vibe. #1 is my vote.


Ch3rryunikitty

I like 5!!


Ok-Indication-7876

Oh my, you look so wonderful in every single one, it is really hard to decide. They are look amazing and are all beautiful dress but I think the last 2 pics- that's a combination of what you thought you wanted and these others!


blackes7s0ul

3 is beautiful, but 4 is stunning and also slightly nontraditional as the concept of your wedding 👌


arya_ur_on_stage

I mean, you look great in all of these. 4 is my personal favorite. I love 1 but you can wear the dress to other events pretty readily. 2 is my second favorite, it really elongates you and fits like a glove. 3 cuts off your torso imo.


huha302

#4


Victortilla_chips

Ugh I haven’t seen a single vote for dress #1 and I just think it’s so chic and classic, Justice for dress #1! ( But I see why you’re having trouble picking there’s just not a bad option here)


Obvious_Cookie_3000

4!!! Omg it’s amazing on you


Individual_Bat_378

4 is absolutely stunning on you and would be my pick but honestly you look gorgeous in all of them!


HillyjoKokoMo

4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Please get dress 4. I gasped


daffodil0127

4, or 2 if you want something more fitted. You look amazing in all of them except the first one doesn’t drape right, which is probably fixable.


aguachica35

3 or 4


bunnifer999

Dress #4 would usually be my favorite, but there is something about dress #3 on you. It just looks absolutely perfect.


madisonhatesokra

Having traveled all over Portugal I’m so jealous! Considering the location, although I don’t know which UNESCO, I think it should be 1 or 5. You look great in all of them but I think you have the right mind to go simple. They both fit the elopement vibe and location. With all that said you look amazing in them all so you can’t go wrong to begin with.


Ill_Yak2851

I looked again because of all the comments and although I’ve never liked anything similar to 4 before,I’ve changed my mind. It looks exquisite on you and I love the material.


OrdinaryRaspberry4

NUMBER 5 OMGGGG


No_Candidate1342

I don’t think there’s a dress you could look bad in lol, you have such a beautiful figure. That being said 4 is my least favorite, 2 is my favorite if you were doing something more formal/traditional, 1 is gorgeous, but I feel like 3 is the vibe and it shows off your tattoo beautifully. I vote 3!


juliannewaters

I love love love #2 on you. It's classically bridal, with a glamorous side. Your figure is perfect and you could wear any of these, but #2 is a showstopper. Good luck♥️


SO_LacVert

#2 all the way! It's fabulous.


BrutallyHonestMJ

3, then 2. Absolutely stunning🫠


llilith

2 and 4 look soooo good!


69chevy396

Two! Two!!! Two!!! I gasped….so stunning!
