    It really depends what you think you'll look good in, and there's not much to tell by the pic. Although personally, I'd NOT take the last one. That mermaid style of dress will find EVERY small, unwanted curve on your body and shout it out to the world. You pretty much have to be anorexic to wear one of that style.

    I think the first one is more elegant and the last one is the most "pure" looking. (maybe it's the white). But I really like them all. I would pick the first one.

    I think the first one is a bit ''too much''. I love the other two though. If It were me personally I would pick the second, the red one (in black of course) :wink:

    I like the third one the best. I think it looks the most wedding-guest like.

    I'd be weary about these dresses, since you can't try them on and you've changed sizes considerably. I am a HUGE fan of convertible dresses, in fact my bridesmaids wore them at my wedding and looked SMOKIN' hot! Here's the one they wore:

    First one...the back is very sexy...but not too over the top, black is very flattering, and it looks different to what most others might wear. I think the red looks a bit tack with the jewels and the white would be good if you are olive skinned and maybe more suitable for spring/summer.

    I was horrified that people wore black to my Wedding, it must be a cultural thing. Black is for funerals lol

    I went to a wedding in September. Myself and one other girl were wearing colors. Everybody else black.
    So weird.

    As a guest or a bridesmaid? Maybe it's just because I've gone to more casual weddings, but they all seem over the top for a wedding guest. Of the three, I'd go for the 2nd one. The other two are a little too frilly and prom-like.

    Also, be aware that Light In the Box and similar sites that offer cheap knockoffs are just that, cheap knockoffs. The photos featured on the site are often from the original designer, not photos of their actual dresses. On wedding sites, and even on tv, I've seen horror stories of dresses that were poorly constructed from flimsy fabrics, and even with measurements supplied, didn't fit anywhere near like they should. To be fair, I've also seen people 100% satisfied. I'd advise looking online for styles you like, but going to brick and mortar stores where you can try things on to buy a dress.

    i went to a friend's wedding a couple weeks ago and was tempted to wear a black dress as i had lost weight and the dress i was planning to wear was abit loose while the black dress fitted perfectly. in the end i wore the loose dress as i didnt want to show up in black and cause offence. i wish i had gone for the black as 3 of the 6 ladies there were wearing black.

    This. Be positive it's formal before you go this route. If you're not positive, I'd go tea length.

    I think this is kind of an outdated notion, like "you can't wear white after Labor Day."

    They seem more like bridesmaids or prom like dresses instead of a wedding guest dress. I guess it depends on what the invitation has as to how formal it is. Good luck in what you decide! :)

    first, try to find out what the bridemaids are wearing, if they are in a dark color or close style, stay away (it may help if you can talk to the bride and ask her what she would like her guests to wear). also, call a few ladies going to the wedding and ask what style/length they are going with. unless everyone is going in extreem formal, tea/knee length is going to be your best option.

    as far as the dresses go, the 1st is my fav... as far as weddings, they all look at little over the top (belonging to the bridal party then a guest) but the 3rd dress is the least.

    edit: my "K" button is sticking, had to fix that

    I absolutely love these threads!

    OMG that first dress is gorgeous!!!!! It's a show stopper though.. could you out do the bride in that dress??

    If it's an ultra glamorous wedding, do the 1st one. The "safer" choice is def the last one. It's toned down.

    Black to a wedding? Maybe I'm old-fashioned [hint: I'm not] but I would call that a sartorial nightmare and a passive dissuasion to the happy couple.

    That said, the first two are more evening gowns than wedding attire. At least, that's the opinion of this pundit. I'd suggest the third one in any color that isn't black or white. When is the wedding? If it is soon-ish, a sage or hunter green would be festive. Obviously silver or champagne go with anything and is multi-seasonal in case you ever find yourself wearing the dress again.

    I think this is kind of an outdated notion, like "you can't wear white after Labor Day."

    While most fashion "rules" [read: traditions] are attributed to general bourgeois snobbery, the "white after Labor Day" has its roots in both symbolism and functionalism.

    The problem with the statement itself is that it is not a blanket suggestion. The symbolism of the holiday itself was that it denoted the end of the summer--a good time to start breaking out those fall patterns you love so much. But the real root of the rule is far more functional.

    In the 1920s particularly, dressing to stay cool in the summer became fashionable. Before that, folks would schlep around in the same wool garments the wore in the winter. Imagine walking down 5th Avenue in that heavy wool suit on a 90° day. So as linens became the norm to fight the summer heat [pre-central air, I remind you], Labor Day served as a customary end to the dog days of summer and a start of cooler things.

    Should you wear white in the winter? Absolutely...but it depends on the fabric. Cotton, wool, satin, and silk are all fair game. A white sweater, scarf, jacket, or even handbag will brighten up a dreary room. They call it "winter white" for a reason.

    That said, skip the nylons and linens. And it's still entirely unacceptable to wear white shoes post-Labor Day.

    Enjoy the history lesson.
