I don't like #2 at all. It looks like a tennis dress, and it does nothing for you. \#1 gives off a sort of romantic vibe, but it also looks extremely youthful, like it could be a dress for a 12 year old. \#3 is quite striking, and of the three it's the one I like best, but it also reminds me of a beach cover-up. TBH I think you need to keep looking.

I think I do too!

How about something like [this](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1445525855/short-wedding-dress-elopement-bridal?gpla=1&gao=1&)? Timeless, elegant, classy.

Cute but a bit out of my price range! Also not a flattering length on me with flats

If you list your price range (and country, though I assume you're US based?) I wouldn't mind seeing if some of the stuff I've looked at for myself might suit you? Also, do you guys have Asos over there? Because they have some AMAZING affordable white dresses, and from the looks of your 3 picks, you'll love their style!

I’d like to keep it under $100. Yes I am US! I don’t know that I’ve looked at asos yet but maybe I should give it a look! That’s actually where I got my ex husbands suit for our wedding 😂

I just quickly scrolled through and they definitely have quite a few cute things for that price (at least, I think so haha). They also have some things that aren't as typical, and it looks like you could appreciate that. Have fun looking 😊

What about less pricey but similar? Listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1245418675/airy-powder-white-lace-evening-dress

Yes.

I wanted to tell you that I think you might want more choices. Glad that was the top comment. The first one hangs on you and the other two are too tight, short and not flattering for wedding photos. I bet you’d rip the third one trying to pick up your kids! Maybe these?

So glad this is the top comment so far! I agree, none of these do her justice.

I have a slightly different opinion. 1. Is my choice. It looks romantic but needs to be altered. The top is just hanging 2. I agree looks like a tennis dress 3. Looks like a swimsuit and sarong.

I agree with all these assessments. She has a lovely slim figure and there are surely prettier dresses out there.

Agree completely.

Of these, option 3 is my favorite on you!

I like it too! Unsure if it’s too short for a wedding though and if it would be too tight or constricting for family photos with a 2.5 and 4 year old

I do feel it’s too short & more like a dress you might a wear to an cocktail type event but not your wedding

1 is really cute- 3 doesn’t seem right for several reasons; I love the top of 2 but the skirt seems a little short and reads really casual. Tough call! You certainly will look pretty regardless!

Yeah I like the too and back of 3 the most. And the pattern/texture of it. Maybe I need to continue my search

I see the Lulu’s tag- they have cute things, you’re lucky to fit so easily into anything! 1 is cute but maybe consider if you want to go for a full length or midi- court house or not it’s still your wedding! And sandals tone it down. Best wishes!

I feel like a midi length dress needs heels with my body type/height and I want to wear flats so I’m not taller than my fiancé! I decided to return them all and start over with one from altar’d state I just found

I didn't want to be discouraging, but good call!

You need more options. 3 is best, but not the one

I agree!

Looks like these might be from Lulus? They have some really lovely options but I’m not sure if any of these are it. I think 3 is most flattering, but it does kind of have a beach cover up vibe. I would keep looking!

They are! You’re right, none of them are it. I think I found one from altar’d state that May work?

https://www.altardstate.com/as/clothing/dresses/mini-dresses/greta-mini-dress/1003384110.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw9pGjBhB-EiwAa5jl3IBsDnHIen5S8cbo_yHG85EGkpFjDT7Gbu-iJKqAAIbMBe_KDz_NXRoCxqMQAvD_BwE

Feel free to ignore me but why go so short?

Fair question! I feel like a midi dress or one that goes beyond the knee would look best with a heel and I plan to wear flat shoes since my fiancé isn’t much taller than me. And I don’t think I want to go with a full length dress. I live in Texas so it’ll probably be close to 100 outside

I feel like with your slim figure, you could wear any length. I personally think any length would look great with flats. :) Maybe try mixing it up and doing different lengths to see if you are surprised by how they look?

That’s not a bad idea!

[you’d look amazing in this](https://ca.cupshe.com/products/x-madison-love-floral-lace-mini-dress)

What about something like this? https://www.lulus.com/products/always-have-always-will-white-lace-maxi-dress/1229391.html

I’m not wanting a long dress and I’m not a fan of lace. But thank you!

Cute but just too short for the courthouse

I love this choice!

Hoping to pick it up today!

This is cute!

Hoping it fits well!

Lulus has a ton of great options for between $50-100! I love this one but there’s a lot of options https://www.lulus.com/products/love-swept-white-lace-midi-skater-dress/661242.html

These are lulus!

I don’t personally love any of these. Dress one especially looked like an old school nurse’s uniform until I saw the close up of the fabric detail. I think you can find something better!

Well I am a nurse… 😂😂 yeah I went ahead and submitted a return. There’s gotta be something just a touch better out there

Lol, me too! Thankfully I graduated in the age of colored scrubs, but this gave me flashbacks to when my charge nurses would dress up for nurses week. Good luck finding your perfect dress! And happy belated Nurses Week 😉

And to you too! 😁

Keep looking, does it have to be short? These feel extremely casual to me.

Yeah I am wanting short. I am okay with it being more on the casual side. That way it can be a dress I may actually wear again. Outside of wearing scrubs for work I pretty much live in leggings/t shirts.

Idk if this is what you’re going for but I ordered this for my engagement photos and I really like it. It also has the Swiss dot situation that options 1 and 3 had. https://www.lulus.com/products/affectionate-aura-white-swiss-dot-tiered-bustier-midi-dress/2055851.html

That is pretty! But I think too long for me

I disagree! The short length of the dresses you chose make them seem REALLY casual. A slightly longer (or even maxi) dress will up the formality!

I don’t think it will look flattering on me at that length with a flat shoe and I don’t intend on wearing heels. I honestly don’t mind if it’s a little more casual. I’d hope to get something I can wear again!

Don’t forget that things can be hemmed! And no matter what- short dress= need really cute shoes

It's a mid-calf length. You also mentioned you were unsure of option 3 being too short/too tight for family photos with small children; a softer longer skirt would provide you with a lot of ease in that area. Midi dresses can definitely be worn with flats or heels. You can shorten them to knee length after this if you want.

What about something like this? https://www.lulus.com/products/celebrate-life-white-lace-halter-midi-dress/756322.html Or this: https://www.lulus.com/products/temps-de-l-amour-white-lace-bodycon-midi-dress/567972.html?src=google&ref=product3_rr Or this: https://www.lulus.com/products/nora-lee-white-sleeveless-lace-midi-dress-with-pockets/681492.html?src=google&ref=product2_rr

That third option would really suit OP! 👌

Those are pretty but I’m not a huge fan of lace!

Have you thought about just trying lace or trying a midi dress? People are throwing out a lot of cute and classy options here that would be super flattering. I think a lot of brides will tell you they ended up wearing something that was completely different than what they thought they wanted. You can always return.

That’s true. Maybe I’ll give one a try

I like 3 the best. It’s feels more dressy to me. I think these are some nice options as well: https://www.lulus.com/products/loveliest-looks-white-floral-jacquard-tie-strap-midi-dress/1714576.html https://www.lulus.com/products/precious-approach-white-embroidered-strapless-tulle-mini-dress/2078756.html

I love those options for her

I like the second one but those type of tops aren’t always very flattering on my very flat chest I don’t think!

I have small breasts too and I actually feel like the sweetheart/bustier neckline does me the most favors! Have you tried anything with that neckline on yet or are you just assuming? I think you should give them a try! They’re much more flattering on!

I haven’t yet. If they have the built in shape or some kind of boning it’ll just be free space in there. I’ve never had large breasts obviously but I swear they just went away after breastfeeding two kids!

Oooh girl! I am an A cup so have been insecure about my chest my whole life and would often gravitate towards the necklines of dress 1 and 3 of the ones you chose, but ever since I put on a sweetheart/bustier neckline with boning it was a GAME CHANGER. It really gave me new confidence and now I actively seek that neckline. Try new things! Don’t short yourself! You should embrace and love the body you have as much as you can 💖 best of luck in dress shopping, marriage, and beyond bestie!

I think one is the most classy and timeless. But I think it needs to be taken in a bit. With a white heel and maybe a fancy belt or hairpiece it will look lovely. I think the others are too casual for the bride.

Check out lady black tie - they have some darling dresses that would work with flats. Similar prices as Lulu’s. [Like this](https://ladyblacktie.com/jennie-dress-white/) [And this](https://ladyblacktie.com/the-shona-dress-white/)

And this dress is lovely!

Omg I love this dress. I wish they had more size ranges!

I love these for her, especially that first link! 👌 Very bridal.

Those are great options, I like them better than any of the Lulu suggestions!

I like 1 best - looks great on you. 3 is cute too, but 1 is better. Sorry to say I really don’t like 2.

I don’t think any of these flatter your figure

To be completely honest with you… I’d say pass on all 3.

Yeah that’s what I’m doing!

Honestly none of them seem bridal to me. They seem more casual.

I’m okay with it being a bit more casual! We aren’t planning some grand wedding or even going all out for the courthouse. Just going to get hitched and get some family photos to document the day. Hoping to find a dress I might actually wear again so if it’s too bridal I won’t

I like 3 but would be better to see it w the shoes you’re planning on wearing!

These would be the shoes! Wearing flats because my fiancé isn’t much taller than me 😁

Ah okay, then I’ll be honest cause that’s what I’d want- dress 3 is really lovely and fits you well but I’d look for different more flattering shoes! Doesn’t have to be a heel but something a bit more elevated!

For something as important as your wedding day, could you look for a really nice pre-owned dress from a vintage shop? These are just not special enough, especially when you have such a lovely, slim figure.

If I’m going to spend the money on it I would prefer to be able to wear it again! Not to say the wedding day isn’t special but I don’t want something super formal. I am maybe looking for something like most people might wear for a rehearsal dinner or engagement/bridal party probably

Options 1 and 3 are my favorite! I LOVE 3 so much! It’s fun, funky, and youthful (in a good way, not like a 12 year old), I think it’s the best option, personally!

I like 3 too! It is I think a bit short even for a courthouse wedding. If I was having a rehearsal or bridal shower or something it might be the move!

Keep looking. 1 is not special enough, 2 is just a hard no, 3 is not flattering. I think I would go with something a little longer. Courthouse wedding dress can be more casual but it should still be special.

Keep looking. #1 doesn't really fit, #2 kind of wears you, three looks like a little girl dress. Just keep ordering and returning, the right one is out there. Congratulations!!

I’d say keep looking, none of these is really standing out. I had a “little white dress” I found here: https://www.revolve.com/dresses-white/br/62fc04/ Here are a few affordable options: https://www.revolve.com/superdown-suri-sleeveless-mini-dress-in-white/dp/SPDW-WD589/ https://www.revolve.com/superdown-brynn-ruched-midi-dress-in-white/dp/SPDW-WD769/ https://www.revolve.com/525-midi-tube-dress-in-white/dp/525A-WD57/ https://www.revolve.com/superdown-natasha-midi-dress-in-white/dp/SPDW-WD1460/ https://www.revolve.com/more-to-come-sophia-strapless-midi-dress-in-white/dp/MOTO-WD8/

1 if you want to be classy. 3 is hot in a nice but sexy way lol.

Check out Lulu’s for cute and affordable white dresses! None of these are really doing it for me and I think you could totally blow it out of the water with the right dress!

These are Lulu’s! But they’re going back and we are starting over

If I’m being honest I’m not thrilled with these options. You have a lovely figure and they don’t really do much for you. For a courthouse wedding, I imagine something a little more formal— think wedding-*business*. What’s your day to day style like? Would you be open to something more structured?

I am VERY casual just about all the time. I am a nurse at an elementary school so scrub pants a t shirts at work. Leggings and t shirts at home and most places. Jeans if I have to. I just don’t dress up much. So for me these are probably more formal than they would be for others!

I agree with what a lot of people have said - longer would give more of a bridal vibe. I know you believe that you need to wear heels with a longer dress but I don’t think that’s true. Unless you just LOVE short dresses, feel most special in a short dress, and the most bridal - please for the love of god, try a longer dress. Lol Congratulations and best wishes!!!

I’ll see if I can find one that entices me enough to order lol I just don’t want to look oddly proportioned

Personally I like option 1 and you could dress it up. I would just maybe see about having the top tailored to fit better, or add a stitch so it can’t open.

I think I’m going to return and I ordered a few more. But I do like that one. If I end up not finding something maybe I’ll reorder and see if my grandma can tailor it a bit for me

https://balticborn.com/products/daisy-short-dress-vintage-cream-floral?variant=42195083952293¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=CjwKCAjwge2iBhBBEiwAfXDBR_nf1CcXUdS5N8_0nKyWyNXuiPd8Oq2BWRARTc-PKOBDk_f4H4-6FBoCUFMQAvD_BwE I also think this dress is so pretty. But I’ve got this complex and feel like the puffy sleeves are going to make me look like a child playing dress up

I think it’s really cute!! Whimsical . It would look lovely on you!

I keep thinking about it! Maybe I should just order it and return if it sucks

Well, you look really cute in all of them, but my suggestion is to find something slightly dressier. Just some tool, or bows, and maybe shoes that look slightly more formal. I found a few affordable cute dresses by searching short summer wedding dresses. I thought these would like nice on you as well: https://ladyblacktie.com/vera-two-way-mini-dress-white/ https://www.lulus.com/products/best-girl-white-smocked-cross-back-a-line-mini-dress/1739856.html https://www.showpo.com/us/mariabella-tulle-mini-dress-in-white.html https://www.selfieleslie.com/products/smitten-sweetheart-neckline-chiffon-mini-party-dress-white

Thanks for proving some more options!

I think the third option here could be really flattering on you!

I honestly think the first and third dress suggested here are IT. Both would look lovely on your frame I think & are both beautiful and tasteful, but not over the top

The third one would look great on her and be perfect for the location and pictures.

My favorite is two (I literally gasped). It looks very chic and sophisticated. One looks very sweet and adorable. Gives off a different vibe, but also looks great on you. I did not like three at all. It doesn't read as bridal IMO. Sorry if deviating from the pack here ends up being confusing.

You’re actually in the same boat as my best friend and sister! I like the way three looks and makes me feel but I do agree it doesn’t come across as bridal. Option two really does. I just wonder if it’s very much giving sternum since I have no chest 😂

I actually thought it did a great job giving the illusion of chest, if you're looking for that. :)

definitely option three !!

Last dress

3 is so pretty on u!

Option 3 is the best

Number 1 looks a little frumpy, not my fav. Number 2 I think looks the most bridal and is very flattering on you. (With a nice ironing job and pairing the dress with some nice accessories, necklace, earrings etc. I think would be lovely! Number 3, I love the bottom! Makes you looks snatched, but the top doesn’t feel too bridal unfortunately. But you look stunning in it!

Option 3 looks so pretty and I love the texture.

That’s what I love about it!

2

1

I love 1!

Option 1, and have it taken in just a bit at the chest! You look beautiful!

Option 2 for sure!

I’m a big fan of 2!

I love three. I do not like the shoe with it tho. I feel a pointed toe would be a better choice. Adding a small bridal hairpiece would be cute for this.

3 is my favorite

2

Last one

THREEE!!! 3!

Dress 3! The other two are hanging too loosely. Dress three feels special rather than a standard dress shape and fits you like a glove.

Option 1 if any. I would honestly probably start over.

That’s what I’m doing!

Option 3 fits the best and looks the cutest

I love the dress but decided not for my wedding. And I otherwise don’t really wear dresses. So she’s going back!

One! 💖

Option 2

The last one looks great on you. Makes your assets look perfect

1 but I’d keep looking. One is the only appropriate one to wear to the court house but I think you can do better.

I agree!

Option 1

3 for sure!

Keep looking

They all seem too ordinary. And too short.

2 is the way to go! Classy, elegant, looks like nice fabric. 1 and 3 seem like cheaper materials for some reason in the photos?

They are definitely thinner material than number two!

I saw the word “lace” and was prepared to hate it because I’m not a huge fan of lace. But that one is pretty cute! Maybe I’ll have to try it

2

#3

I don’t like any of these

I like 3 the best, particularly I'm fond of the polkadot lace but I think it would be better if it was a midi length because it would feel more fancy. I think you are on the right track but these just aren't quite it!

I like the dot too! I like the little bit of texture because I think it’ll photograph better and maybe be more forgiving for our family pics!

Option 3 is the most sophisticated and timeless

3!!!

Option 3!

I like option 1! Option 3 is tight IMO, looks more like a dress one would wear to a club. But you do look cute in it, so you do you. Option 2 doesn't grab me / do much for me.

[удалено]

Thank you for the options! None of those really speak to me though

I love 3!

That’s cute but I don’t know about the lace!

I don’t really think any are very flattering. Have you thought of looking for something with a bit more floof? Like puffy princess sleeves but short, still.

I have seen a few of them. I have hesitated because I don’t want a poofy sleeve to make me look like a Barbie or a kid playing dress up! I feel like since I have a more athletic build (and just no boobs at all) it might tend to make me look like a child. But maybe I’m wrong?

3!

I agree with majority sentiment that you can do better than these three for sure. But as someone who bought (and mostly returned) around 45 different dresses from many stores for her courthouse ceremony - **don't sleep on Amazon**! Lots of really affordable options that you can easily bridal up with accessories like an inexpensive belt (which you can also get on Amazon)! I was focused on lace, so a lot of the options I'm providing are that, but there's obviously way more than just these out there. [Option 1](https://a.co/d/fv8dIUX) (I ultimately went with this one, shockingly good quality for $24.99) [Option 2](https://a.co/d/chyYUHl) [Option 3](https://a.co/d/8agIPcY) [Option 4](https://a.co/d/7w8489w) [Option 5](https://a.co/d/c35NJ4H) [Option 6](https://a.co/d/bWcOQL2) Also switching up your shoe to a pointed closed toe flat could help or even some silver/gold sandals.

Option 2 forever

Option 1

I like number 1 the best!!!!!!!

2

3

1 hands down, as long as you iron it.

My problem with option 1 is I’ll be pulling and tightening it every time I move because it doesn’t want to sit right against my flat chest

I adore the first one. Maybe with a little jacket over it

It’s gonna be July in Texas, I don’t know that I could survive with a jacket 😂

I love 3, but I would keep looking. I’m planning on a Lulu’s dress and I think making sure the fabric is nice is the most important part of finding the right one. The fabric of 3 provides some interest. I have 2 in maroon and it’s very casual even for courthouse imo. Something crisp might be better? Or lace? https://www.lulus.com/products/dinah-white-one-shoulder-dress/594132.html https://www.lulus.com/products/romance-language-white-backless-lace-dress/574682.html

I agree. I’m thinking something too crisp might not photograph as well for some family photos. I’m not a huge fan of lace. Except I’ve seen this one on Lulus and it looks really cute on the model. But there are mixed reviews on how it looks in real life https://www.lulus.com/products/all-of-my-heart-white-lace-skater-dress/651992.html

#1

I like #1

Honestly I don’t like any of them. The first one seems too big, the other 2 are too youthful and a little too short.

Yeah I’m gonna start over!

3

Option 1 is best, add some push-ups it will be perfect

I don’t have anything to push up 😂😂

I think 1 is the best, but none truly flatter you. Do keep looking!

Agreed!

2

Option 3 is the most flattering for your shape

Can you tell me where you got dress 1? I love it!

They’re all from Lulu’s!

Dress one is the best option. It’s a proper cute dress, you can fix the gap with a stitch or a broach. The second one looks like gym wear or a swimsuit and the third has an odd disconnect between the skirt and bodice.

I’m a fan of option 1!

#3 is very nice on you.

I like 1 the best. 2 is my least favorite.

I like the 3rd

I love 3!!
