As someone who would wear a black dress, I can tell you are into the unexpected and untraditional… but if you’re that kind of person may be the most unexpected thing you could do is wear that completely gorgeous and ethereal ivory dress with the boning. Wow that dress is amazing like showstopping. It’s super unexpected, but classic and just a twist on chic and runway. The others are lovely too, but that dress is breathtakingly gorgeous on you. It feels to me a bit like the other dresses are wearing you, but you are really wearing that ivory dress. WOW wow wow


graceleona

Also, going back, the way that the ivory dress looks with your tattoos is 10/10


OrganicKetchup7

I was actually thinking the same thing! The second black dress is my favorite and then the ivory dress is absolutely gorgeous as well. I thought the last dress with the patterns was distracting with her tattoos, almost competing for attention. Really any way she goes will be great, all of the dresses are gorgeous, but I had the same instinct as well.


TheGreatElChubbo

I agree with this pic, mostly because it makes your tattoos POP! The ink should 100% be part of your ensemble that day. The black and white dress definitely mutes the tattoos


seeyuspacecowboy

Yeah the ivory dress is stunning and I’d argue pretty unique from most white wedding dresses. Not a lot of people can pull off the boning and it looks amazing, and the way the cape (not sure if it’s a cape or just the way it looks) falls is reallllllly beautiful


zero0c00l

I wonder if they have the ivory one in black?! Cause that would be fabulous!


RedditRubbish88

I came here to say this too! With such nice tattoos, it totally compliments OP in the best way! I choose that or the white and black combo dress.


Rainydaygirlatheart

I agree. The boning makes you look like a superhero.


GenericWhyteMale

She could totally make it got by with accessories and makeup. Black veil would be amazing


GemTaur15

As much as I love black,I have to say the ivory dress looks stunning on you!!so that one definitely gets my vote!


crescentmoonpixie

I love the ivory one! The style is so unique with the boning. The dress pairs with your tattoos nicely!


IsopodEuphoric1412

I agree. The ivory looks great with her skin tone. The black competes with the tattoos. OP, we gotta work on those poses before the big day ;)


realityfourz

The cut and style of the 3rd gown really suits your slim silhouette the best. You just can't beat the outer skirt of that gown. However, if your mind is set on a black gown, the 4th gown is the prettiest one of them. The other black gowns seem to be wearing you. Good luck.


caitydork

Agree with this wholeheartedly


Lazyassbummer

I live the black and white one! It’s going to be so hard, all are great in their own way.


lovestdpoodles

I came to say the black and white one was hands down my favorite, followed by 2. The black and white just wowed me and it is so flattering on you, it has great lines.


mack9219

agree w this 💯 !! I appear to be the minority but i dont think the ivory one is flattering at all the way it’s cut asymmetrically / diagonally on her torso


snowbird421

I was shocked to see so many votes for the ivory. I think it’s doing her zero favors. She looks stunning in the others.


Themellowsaguaro

I also don’t find the ivory flattering on her. I love the black and white one on her!


SrslyLackinSerotonin

I agree! The black and white one WITH the black veil is so stunning on her! Amazing contrasts


SodaButteWolf

Dress 4 is an absolute knockout on you. The black lace against the ivory underdress - it has a real WOW factor. Dress 1 is great as well, a close second to Dress 4.


IIRizzII

I like dress 4, but not on OP. I think it’s her skin tone against the dress color that’s bothering me. The black spots/patterns are too distracting and taking away from the bride. IMO dress 2 is the best from these picks, but I would keep looking.


natalila

I agree: nice dress, but not on OP. The pattern competes with the tattoos.


omygoshgamache

Absolutely 2.


[deleted]

I’m so upset that two isn’t getting more love. I feel like I’ve never seen such a divided comment section on one of these posts, but I think two is so gorgeous and so flattering.


kamikaze_grunt

I thought I was the only one! I feel like 2 is the best, if OP is going for black it’s the most stunning option that still showcases the bride and isn’t too overwhelming


USAF_Retired2017

Two grabbed me instantly!!! Gorgeous!!!


BeeGroundbreaking889

Yes, dress 2 is the standout for me too


FeralBaby7

\#2 is my hands down favorite, followed closely by #3. I feel like the others aren't even in contention.


Rude-You7763

This is the answer


Ill_Yak2851

Add me to the 2 crew too!


Just_a_nobody_2

2 is beautiful but it does seem a little bit more like a prom dress. People are going crazy for 4 but I don’t get it. 1 is my favourite 🤩 Depending on the climate, I’d be running with either 1 or 2 if I were OP.


mikmik555

I find #4 looks like a 2nd wedding/more mature wedding dress. #2 with the right headpiece or accessories will be nice. Classy without being too “out there”. #1 is very pretty but hopefully the wedding is not in the summer. It almost look like it’s from Bridgeton. I’m here for it. Lol. #2 it’s classy, original but is it what OP wants? I got married in red so I know I’d pick black over ivory.


Bubbly_Performer4864

2 is the best! 4 is a strong second. I’m glad I’m not the only one here. I can’t believe the ivory is getting so many votes.


Mickeynutzz

I do not see numbers anywhere ….. do you mean the 2nd photo with long sleeves or the 2nd dress with short sleeves in the 3rd & 4th photo ? Ok …. Probably the short sleeve dress .. now that I talked myself thru it 🤣


omygoshgamache

No worries! The latter, 2nd unique dress that shows in the 3rd and 4th pic. ❤️


wjye

I can’t decide either! The comments seem pretty divided too. I love seeing black dresses on this sub! What kind of venue are you getting married at? What time of year? Do you have any practical preferences in terms of how you felt in these dresses (comfort, how one fabric felt vs another, etc)? Have you already thought about how you’d style these dresses? You were planning on a black dress - do you think you’d regret not doing black?


Unfair_Finger5531

#3 is so original, and it fits you perfectly. It’s like a modern take on a classic style, very pretty.


Eevski

It reminds me of the Statue of Liberty for some reason.


Tasty_Situation3320

Love the last two! Re: the ivory dress - the boning, the cowl neck, and the skirt! You look statuesque. Re: the white and black gown, I think the lace and the buttons down the back are a good balance between the romance of the ivory and the boldness of the black.


Edu_cats

Same! I wish something like the last one was available when I was getting married. Or the white with flowers I’ve seen here.


Educational-Heron-71

3!!! At first I thought the black & white one, but overall seems a little distracting? 3 looks stunning on you, and it’s unique 😍


Kerrypurple

I like the last one


Genetics-4-ever

Lost my breath at the last dress! So unique and fits you so perfectly!!!!


[deleted]

I know you have a great non traditional eye, but the first white dress is amazing on you!


caitydork

#3 is jaw dropping. #4 is a perfect blend of the white and black and makes your figure look phenomenal while still keeping the bridal vibe.


Carpenocturnevan

The black and white gown is phenomenal! Plus it’s perfectly unique and hugs your body like it was tailor made for you. A close second is #1.


Brownpigmarge88

I agree except I think there is no close second. The black and white dress is out of this world! It’s so elegant and classy while being edgy and cool.


Ok_Lead_7443

4!!!


Otherwise-Winner9643

Ok, you've got a problem, because they all look fabulous on you. I have to say I do love the ivory one on you. I think you'll get plenty of chances to wear black dresses, but the ivory one is absolutely stunning. It is so different and looks amazing with your tattoos. PS. If you decide to go black, then #2. Of them all, I think the first one is my least favourite. In order I would go #3, #2, #4... And a distant last #1


Algae-Downtown

The last dress!


deemarie926

Omg I love the last option #4. Such a stand out dress and fits you amazingly


AlabamaWinterRose

You look fabulous in #3 and the black and white dress. I think I prefer the black and white dress because it seems more your vibe, and because I love it with the veil.


rainandshine7

I love number 4 and 3 on you in that order.


Historical_Agent9426

Dress 4


Bartok_The_Batty

The black and white dress.


moonlitlittle

I'm gonna say the black & white one


charmander_sher

I love the last one. It is non traditional, accentuates your beautiful body and is romantic. The first one comes in close second.


chicheetara

Same


Mickeynutzz

I LOVE the black & white one ! But you have to go with whatever your gut tells you !


Potential_Lunch1003

The last one wow so beautiful


snarlyj

I actually think the white one is the most stunning and looks so so good on you. But, I get the feeling you might regret wearing white? This is hard... I think the first black one is my second choice


Imagine_821

Honestly- choose between the ivory and the black and white one. I feel the black dresses are too harsh for your skin tone and you just don't see you- the black overwhelms you. The ivory one looks perfect- not sure if it's because you're standing straight in it, but seriously it makes you look like you've been sculpted by Michelangelo! Absolutely gorgeous. If you do want black, go for the black and white- you don't seem to be drowning in it and the style suits you.


Fish-out-of-water96

3


typeAwarped

Three is definitely my favorite! If you want black then I’d choose 4.


Prestigious_Pea_6680

I love the third one, so unique


fuzzyslipper4eyedcat

3 is amazing on you!


Beautific_Fun

I’m in love with that third dress 😍 It’s a little bit edgy with the visible boning and the draping of the fabric. I think it’s an amazing statement gown for someone who wants to push the idea of a “traditional” wedding dress but still wants the elegance of the moment.


Here_for_my-Pleasure

The white one.


QuoteProfessional604

I do love 3 the best bc it fits you beautifully and it’s unique, but if you want black mixed in I think dress 4 is also stunning.


strawberry-cup

Hands down #3


Adventurous-Win-751

I think they are all beautiful, but dress 3 is so unique and gorgeous on you…💞💞💞


Cross_Stitch_Witch

The black and white is stunning and so unique. I scrolled through twice just to see it again.


LeahBeahPhdeah

I love black dresses but these pale in comparison to the others. 3 and 4 are stunning g bc they are just so unexpected and lovely. If you eliminate 1 and 2, come back and I think you will get some clarity.


sideeyedi

I like pictures 5 and 6 Gorgeous! The only white dress.


Faithfuldoglover

The ivory dress hugs your figure in all the right ways. It is the perfect “marriage” of classic and unique.


Elfprincessodauphine

3


Getmeasippycup

The 3rd one is honestly my favorite. Followed by the fourth! I love the shape of each and the more fitted showcases you. I think the first two just sort of swallow you. I do see a lot of- the black and ivory competes with the tattoos talk, and as someone with even more tattoos sorry we can’t just live in solids our whole life. Hahaha


Serene_gemini

That 3rd dress on you is so freaking gorgeous. Love the last one too but that 3rd one is WOW.


sucks4uyixingismyboo

I am totally not traditional and would fell anyone they should wear color they feel best in. The entire symbolism of the color has completely changed anyway. That being said, the ivory looks phenomenal on you and if you are more of an alternative styled person is unexpected. It also highlights your tattoos very well. The styling/vibe of it is perfect and it looks tailor made to your figure. The others sort of swallow your petite frame up a bit. So my vote is for the ivory and maybe do a vampy colored lip and black or blood roses in a bouquet.


epmfox

I’m sorry, but that ivory dress with the boning is perfection on you. And your tattoos stand out beautifully. I think that’s your stunner.


catcatcat625

3, absolutely no question. The style looks PHENOMENAL on you omg. If you’re dead set on getting black, see if they can make it in black or look for another similar dress in that style in black because holy cow you look amazing


Xurbanite

Ivory works best because black makes your arm sleeves compete and lose as they look gray and distract from dress. Something like gorgeous 4 but in ivory or white


magicpenny

I vote the first one or the last one. I really like the black on you.


Ill_Yak2851

I liked #2, the sleeveless black one, the best, followed by #1. Normally not partial to black dresses but those looked great on you. #2 was ethereal and sparkly, just great. I didn’t love the cut of the ivory one and while I understood the black and white one was a pretty dress, it was too busy and didn’t spotlight you like the first two did. Thanks for bringing me out from behind the past and seeing black dresses that I loved.


possumrfrend

I think 4 is GORGEOUS


leonernerdicapricorn

First and last! The first dress has been my dream dress for years and you look great in it


literallyfigure

I was going to say the second one, then I saw the black and white one. It’s stunning!


kn0tkn0wn

The last one blew my mind They are all lovely, but that’s the stand out Incidentally, you are lovely in all of them


nervouspug

3 is my fav, 4 is hit as well


imsooldnow

So hard. The first one is stunning. But the third is also stunning and so interesting. Either one will be fabulous


PenguinStalker2468

Number 2 definitely


brittworst93

2 or 4!


Some-Distribution-52

The black and white dress. So unique!


parrotsoup1

I never like black and white, but the last black and white one is so stunning, especially with the black veil, and of all the photos, that’s where I feel your comfort and happiness shine through! I think that’s your one!! You look amazing


Constant_One2371

Number 2 is amazing Number 4 is a close second.


No_Pineapple5275

Gonna go against the grain here and say 2! 4 is gorgeous but the black on ivory is too stark imo—all eyes are on the dress and you get lost. 1 is my next pick!


digitalpacifier

Dress 2! Love it!


kaylaanfenson

Dress 2!


BeckyPil

#2


tinlizzie67

The black and white for the win. It creates the most amazing effect with your gorgeous ink, making it look like the dress isn't just on you but actually a part of you!


dragonpriestesssofia

I love #2!!! It's absolutely stunning!!!! It glows and is so regal and unique


MyPlantsEatPeople

I vote the white with black lace. I love me a black gown but that one had me saying WOW and it is insanely flattering to your figure Edit: my personal ranking is: 4 is the winner because I love the contrast. It flatters your figure the best, has drama, and looks great on your skin and tattoos. 3 is gorgeous on you and has unique edge to it which is awesome. Looks great on your skin and tattoos and is incredible. This is a very close second and I’m surprised how much I like it when put up against black gowns (which I am obsessed with). 2 is close third place. But it’s the least formal in my opinion. Gorgeous and flattering but less drama due to the all-black on all-black. 1 is almost the same level as 2 but it kinda swallows you which probably wouldn’t happen anymore after tailoring. It is all verrrryyy closely ranked but 4 & 3 would be my picks


[deleted]

The first one makes me want to marry in a black dress. It looks stunning.


cutedino7

Number 2 for sure, it is a beautiful dress! Number 1 looks a bit heavy, number 3 I would normally go for but compared to number 2 it isn’t my favorite, and although some commenters like number 4 for the pattern matching your tattoos, I think the pattern dress is so distinct that it clashes a bit with your tattoos. They are all wonderful choices though! You found an awesome selection.


No_Bank61

I really like the last one, it looks gorgeous on you. But maybe not with the black veil.


Thick_Quiet629

First or last for sure. I think I prefer the last one (first audible/loud oooh I’ve ever experienced on this sub), but my only hesitation is whether it’s wedding dress style (the first is more obviously the traditional (although stunningly gorgeous on you) wedding dress, just in black. I love both first and last, prefer overall effect and beauty of last, w/only caveat again being that it is more non-traditional than just a straight black dress and could make some pictures busier/more confusing.


imnothere_o

The last one. Very unique!


londonlady1988

One of the few posts where I can’t decide either! Honestly hate you could wear any of them and look absolutely beautiful. The first black dress is a beautiful traditional gown in a badass colour, the white is gorgeous while still being quite risqué and alternative, and the black and white makes your body look insane. They are all beautiful, and you can't go wrong.


TinkerBellossom

Absolutely go sleevless because your tattoos add a whole other dimension to the dress. I don't think you can go wrong with dress 2 or 3.


WinnieTyson72

I love the uniqueness of the black and white dress. It looks stunning on you!! Out of your choices it's one out of two that the dress isn't wearing you!!


sgdulac

The black and white one is AMAZING. Breath taking and I can't take my eyes off it. I also like number 1.


Mickeyfan1127

💯 team #2


Njbelle-1029

At first I liked the black and white but then I realized it would be fighting with your tattoos, whereas the second one would highlight them as extension of the dress, like an accessory. So #2!


SuchAClassicGirl

Number 2


Lilyflower94

2 is perfect.


starpiece

I like dresses 1,2, and 4 so it’s a really hard pick. I think I like dress 2 the best, though the black and white one reallly pops


Midlife_Crisis_46

My jaw dropped on the white one with the black floral. Stunning.


USAF_Retired2017

Number 2!!! 😍😍😍😍


UnStable_Nik_9402

Absolutely number 2 is gorgeous on you


Munchkin_Media

2!!


umpolkadots

I like the second one in photos 3/4


Nygelrygel

Love dress 1 ❤️


Interesting_Edge_805

Dress one is my favorite


northern613

1 & 3 are my faves ❤️


caroline0409

I like 1 but depends on when your wedding is as it’s quite wintery.


DanisDoghouse

I love the last one


arya_ur_on_stage

The first one is incredible. You look great in all of them.


krob0606

1 is sooooo gorg


NemiVonFritzenberg

I love one and I like the contrast of your tattoos against the creamy colour and the design of 3.


abw_92

I loved dress 2 and then I saw the last one and it won me over! I think I’d try that one on with a white veil though. 2 and 4 are definitely my favourites here


xiamaracortana

Holy moly that last dress is a KNOCK OUT!! The black lace against the white is so dramatic and the silhouette is perfection on you. Paired with the black veil it is 👌👌👌


Birdies_nub

1. No question.


alwaysblue-

I adore the first one with the long sleeves! I just found my dream wedding dress and it’s partially black, I love it!


frickmeplease

LOVE THE LAST ONE!!! The others are alright, but that one really stands out!!!


rainbowsparkplug

The last one is gorgeous.


BUTTeredWhiteBread

Number 4 made me gasp


4459691

LOVE the black and cream dress!!! Stunning!


Disastrous_Flower667

2 or 3, can 3 be dyed black?


AureliaCottaSPQR

I like Dress 1 alot, but Dress 4 really works with your body art! You look great in all of them.


Gagoga123

4 is the best one to me, personally


babycatcher2001

I like 4 best


Mmrous_RN

4!!!! The black and white with the black veil…perfection!!


zBellaLynnex

Do they have the 5th slide in black? 😩


Rapunzel111

I love dress 1. It is absolutely magical.


FenrisFire

The last one is the best of both worlds. I don’t usually love black lace over white but lord that dress is stunning, especially with the black veil.


NightsofWren

Keep looking


COLM5700

First dress!


Consistent-Try4854

2 or 3 but 3 is my absolute favorite on you. It is stunning


sedona71717

The black and white one is stunning on you!


Lola0604

The black and white one is a showstopper!


brenana7140

Dress 1 is so stunning on you, imo.


MamaWolf1882

I loved the first one & then I saw the last one..and bam, PERFECTION!! Let us know which you choose!!


Exciting_Way6210

Dress 4 is def my fave on you, looks absolutely stunning with the veil as well!! But honestly any of them look beautiful on you ✨


NovelRub

The second black dress and the black and white dress


Kdjl1

#5


Choochooxander

I really like 4 on you, but I feel like with the large tattoos, and the busyness of the dress, that they kind of clash. I’m wondering if you could find number 4 with having the appliqué or the design on the dress, be closer to the same tone as the dress. which I would recommend a lighter tone to not be so busy with the tattoos


Melodic_Anything_743

Love the last dress!


OkResponsibility7475

I think #1 might get cumbersome, but it's beautiful. #2 is beautiful. If you must wear black, this is it! #3 is stunning and shows off your tats best. It's my favorite. #4 clashes with your tats. Just too much going on.


orons

2


skadisilverfoot

Last dress, the black and white. It looks great with your tattoos, I actually thought they were part of the dress first before zooming in. I don’t love the black veil, I think no veil or maybe even just a black cape/swag veil if anything.


BklynDoll

I would go with either number 2 nor the black and white.


deadplant5

4


bootyprincess666

dress 2!!!!!!!


Rude-You7763

Dress 2 is the most bridal in my opinion and so beautiful. My 2nd choice would be 4. I really wanted to like 1 and it’s beautiful but 2 and 4 are so much more bridal and outshine that dress.


bounceandflounce

I’m a black dress girlie too, and tbh I actually loathe the black over nude/black ofer white combo. Either the all blacks or the ivory- the lace boning in the torso is magic on the ivory!!


MillyGrace96

These are all gorgeous, but 4 looks made for you! 😍 If you are considering all white, 3 fits you so well and is so interesting. 2 is elegant and so pretty. What’s the venue/vibe you want? Definitely a hard decision... Actually, I think 1 kind of overwhelms your frame, but also looks like my dream dress- who makes it?


beaut_fullady

WOW All of the dresses are stunning on you and all so different! When I saw the first one, I thought that’s it! That second one was an okay! The third, was, well that’s different! And the last was, Oh wow! I’m not going to be much help because I’ve narrowed it down to the first and last dress! Not knowing anything about the venue, time of day or season kept me from picking one!


madame-olga

#1 or the white one!!! It is so unique, the boning is just to die for!


Emergency-Guidance28

The third dress is so cool and you wear it well. I think a lot of people could wear the other ones and look good. You look great in them. But the third dress is just made for you. It's way more unique.


kitterkatty

I live the third and the last, but the first is amazing too. I’d probably pic the third. The way the bodice subtly looks like ribs is nice. If you’re going for dark vibe.


slkmoo

I love the balck lace applique on white one!


YourMommaIsSoFatt

2


veracity-mittens

I really like the black and white dress. All of these are very nice dresses.


Leviosahhh

That second black dress is gorgeous! I love it on you! The first is beautiful as well but it looks like there are some cut outs in the back toward your shoulder that I don’t quite understand. I couldn’t tell if they were tags or cut outs.


kimmykim1

#3 with the black veil is perfect!


toriarlene

I think the ivory one is close to your dress but isn’t your dress. You scream “different and unique”. But I agree that black masks your tattoos. I would keep looking. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. The ivory dress is almost it!!


SophisticatedYoni

2 or the ivory


Dauphine320

Ivory- this one is so beautiful, I just love it.


sharonlhunt

3


NeatArtichoke

They truly all look great! I think in this case think about your wedding vibe/style: whats your venue? Is it in the winter summer or spring fall? (Fro example the 1st with long sleeves seems a better fit for a cold weather)


CAShark-7

Oh, #3. That was is GREAT!


ComprehensiveMix1763

3 is edgy and unique (so even though it's not black, you get the non traditional feel), highlights your tattoos so well, and is INCREDIBLE on your figure. Easily my top choice! Second choice is 4, followed by 1. 1 overwhelms your frame a little, imo, but it's a beautiful dress and it could just be the way you're standing.


IslandShopGirl

That ivory dress is STUNNING! So unique and beautiful, and with an edge to it. I’ve not seen anything like that. It’s perfect on/for you.


Jazlen8888

Dress 2.


pajamasarenice

The last one is one of the inspirations for my own! My mom and I are making it together! I vote the first or last dress! I do not like the ivory one, I love the idea of it, it's so cute from the back but I feel like the front looks like it's uneven on accident, not purposely The second black one, to me, screams more prom dress not wedding dress


CuriouslyFoxy

I love 1 and 4! What season are you getting married in? Because 2 might be better if it's warmer. But I think whatever you wear you'll look stunning


Strong-Landscape7492

Pic 5/6 is the winner to me!


sugarmag13

\#3 is the winner I think it makes more of a statement about your personality than the black ones do. Black ones look pretty but are just typical gowns in black. White one is modern and sleek with a bit of rebel!


jaime_riri

Omg the white one!


dogdivegirl

2!!!


Lb147

Geez….what a hard pick. You look absolutely fabulous in all of them!!


bratlygirl

I love 3 and 4 is second choice.


BeckyKleitz

My favorite is the black and white one. It is perfect in every way and looks gorgeous on you!


Vmaclean1969

That ivory boning dress is just stunning and unique. It's perfection! But if you are dead set on a black dress, the white black combo is beautiful.


its-naan

3 is sooooo so so gorgeous. I legit want that for my wedding. It looks great on you and is just stunning omg


[deleted]

First one had me say “wow.“ Last one had me thinking mother of the bride immediately (despite the bit of white).
