I am personally a fan of straps, but mostly because I have a large chest, so feel more comfortable wearing a bra. Keep in mind that most seamstresses will probably be able to add straps or a halter to any strapless dress (this is what I am doing with mine). Good luck!

I like dresses with straps and sleeves, because I have a big chest, so mine had tank straps. But I like strapless on other people, and out of those dresses, I like the strapless one best. However, I also like dresses with straps and sleeves just because they’re different–sometimes it looks like every bride has a strapless gown these days. Although that might be changing, the new collections already have more non-strapless gowns than when I started looking a year ago.

I think that, more important than the straps, is those dresses have interesting draping that may flatter some bodies more than others. I think the most important thing is which looks best on you, not whether it has straps or not. Unless they all look great on you!

i like the lynnette

imo it would have helped to know the body type of the bride….

It’s currently looking like the wedding bee readers aren’t helping much (it’s a 3 way tie).
I love the first one, but I agree with Kaitlin.

Just be careful with the corset back! I’ve known people who’ve lost weight before the wedding and then couldn’t get the dress to stay up b/c the corset couldn’t get any tighter!!! I think the Sarah is a beautiful dress though. I like the Lynnette from the front, but the back is odd with the straps totally not matching the style of the rest of the dress. Also, it appears that the straps are a totally different color than the dress which could just be my computer!

Lynette, but with the straps the same color as the gown (and hopefully neither as yellow as the picture shows!)

The Lynette was pretty, but I hated the back. The fabric make it looks like her bra is showing! I picked Sarah instead….it has straps which makes it stand out more than the basic strapless.

Of course, I’m biased - my dress is a halter.

I like both the Lynette and the Sarah.

I’m not a big fan of strapless gowns. I’ve seen too many brides trying to hike them up through out the night, or “spill over” the back of them. Very few figures are flattered by strapless.

I agree with some of the previous posters regarding chest size and straps, but I have to believe that the bride would feel comfortable in all 3 of these and perhaps feels that all 3 look good on her. If that’s the case, than I’m voting for Grace!

This is a great idea for a feature, but I agree with some people above. It’d be nice to actually see the dresses on the person as opposed to the model. I know I saw a lot of GREAT dresses that look HORRIBLE on me.
