I am having a girl problem (crappy cellphone pics within)

[Beanie]

My friend's wedding is this weekend and I'm having trouble deciding what to wear. I thought I knew what I was going to wear - but when I pulled it out to try on, it's really more of a short summer-y sundress than a "fall wedding" dress. So I went shopping last night and picked a few things, but I can't decide between them.

HELP. These are really crappy cellphone pics but a) my phone sucks at photos and b) the lighting in this house sucks.

I really like this one but it was kind of short, so I added a crinny underneath to get some extra length. It's still pretty short... probably about the same length as the sundress I was going to wear, but it looks fancier to me.

The back, the belt-bow thing actually is from another dress but I think it kind of dresses it up...

I call this one the sexpot one... when I came out of the fitting room wearing this there was a guy standing by the doorway and his eyes got really big. My mom says this is a lot of black and I think she's right. Works for going out, not a wedding, yes? And again with the crinny to try to add some length even though this one is longer than the last, and make it less BAM SEXY and a little fancy...

I found this one at Dress Barn. I thought it looked like a nice dress to wear if I worked at a professional-dress-code type of place before. My mom thought it was fine as a wedding dress. It was pretty cheap so I bought it figuring we'd keep looking and I can take it back if I change my mind. It's black & blue with little white stripes if you can't tell...

Without the jacket.

Same but without the stockings, my mom doesn't like it with the stockings for some unexplainable reason.

I can't decide. Also if I wear the last one without the stockings I will have to wear different shoes, because those heels are just slightly too big if I'm not wearing stockings and will give me a blister. My mom asked my dad what he thought and he said "I don't know. The last one is more modest I guess." Which is right. It's... well it's definitely not very sexy. It feels a little frumpy actually.
Hellllllp. This is the best I could find in town and the wedding is Saturday, so I'm kind of out of time. x_x

I like the black one. And with the tights added, it makes it less bar-hoppy and more wedding appropriate.

I like the first two. I don't think they are too short. The third one I think is too casual and I don't really like it with the tights. GGGIIRRRLLL!!! Your HOT!!!

#2.

But please fix your lighting and camera and resubmit your poll.

#1 or #2. I can't really quite make out #2 because of the lighting, so I'm really unsure about the addition of the crinny - any chance you could take another picture in broad daylight? But definitely pick from the first two.

I don't like #3 at all, though you do look cute in it without tights (let's be honest, you'd look fab in anything). I agree with Hayley and your mom about the tights thing with that dress.

 

[GipsyQueen]

The first 1. I really like it! And it will look good with tights.

I like the 2nd one as well, but I'm not a fan of black at weddings.
I'm not a fan of the 3rd one - also your moms right - the tights don't go

 

[Dizzy]

#1 definitely.

 

[Ozfozz]

1 definitely.

I really like 2 as well but as others have said, it might be a bit too much black for a wedding.

 

[Dekka]

I really like the first one. I agree the last one looks too ... cute but not in a good way.

 

[AllieMackie]

Digging #1 with the tights and crinny. It's not too short for a wedding IMO.

 

[xpaeanx]

I really like the first dress. The other ones are nice, but I don't think wedding when I see them. And def no stockings on the last one. LOL.

 

[Barb04]

I really like #1. My second choice would be #2. #3 is too casual for a wedding.

 

[Beanie]

You are all so helpful, especially because you like the dress I like best LOL.

Now I need a strapless bra... ack!

 

[sparks19]

Ha wow I really know nothing of fashion. I like the third one without tights the best. I thought it really looked nice on you and created a nice sillouhette.

 

[SoCrafty]

I really like #1. I think it would be cute to wear to a wedding. And if it makes you feel good wearing it, I'd go for it. My other choice is #3. I just think it is adorable.

See this is where I suck at mixing what I think looks good with what's actually appropriate given the situation. I think you look RIDICULOUSLY GOOD in the black dress but if black is inappropriate for weddings (which I can't figure out... and probably wouldn't be able to) I'd go with the first one.

See, it's like this kind of fine line... black is acceptable at weddings these days because it's become a universal formal color, really. Used to be BLACK IS FOR FUNERALS NOT FOR WEDDINGS. But not anymore.
But I think that's TOO much black with the black dress and the black stockings and the black shoes. I told my mom "Well I have hot pink heels, I could wear those" and she gave me a look LOL. I don't think I can really switch anything out on it without it looking a little less classy, which I think is definitely not wedding apropro, so I think it's just a bit too much.

It totally is a bomb dress though, I am so keeping it and wearing it out sometime. Without the crinny because PFFFFFFT who needs length on a dress when you're at a bar? NOBODY. THAT'S WHO.


I think I'm taking the Dress Barn one back... technically it's a size too big for me and I'll probably never wear it. I think it's well suited for like a spring wedding because of the robin's egg blue and all, but I already have a couple dresses I can wear to spring weddings.
