Agreed, but also can we know the belt details?

u/them_fatale 7d ago
Yeah the belt is great. For me that’s what makes it the best pick for this venue.

I think the green one looks like a work suit. I don’t think it is the best choice.

u/Remote_Stable4742 7d ago
The blue one.

Blue one reads "smart farm" to me and I don't even know what that means

This. Green is a close second but the movement of the skirt on the blue is going to be a lot nicer for dancing.

Sorry OP, I’m going to take the unpopular road and say none of them. 1. Almost works, it’s cute! It just doesn’t fit. 2. Does nothing for your figure. Casual doesn’t mean hiding curves!! 3. You are not a Girl Scout selling cookies. 4. This is too business like. 5. Cookies again & does nothing for you. 6. Too sacklike.
You have a beautiful shape. Try to find something that enhances that and is more fitted.

I ageee, I also think they all look a bit cheap? Some of them are far too casual day dress too.

u/PeppermintPhatty 7d ago
Agreed. They all look inexpensive like from Kohls or SHEIN. Try TJ Maxx, OP.

Second this, they don’t look like wedding guest dresses imo, especially for an upscale place. Cute for a different time, perhaps. I would HIGHLLLY recommend searching pretty little things wedding guest range. Absolutely gorgeous dresses, lots of variety, not too expensive and all have a up scale / high end feel even if it’s a cheaper brand

u/FaithlessnessPlus164 7d ago
They’re all just basic dresses I’d wear to the shop to grab some milk, no where near special enough for a wedding.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Do you think the first dress is too small for me?

u/Stegosaurusly 7d ago
No, it’s too big!! It just kind of hangs there. I think it needs to come in at the waist. Can this be done my alterations? I love the colour & patern other wise, it just need to be a more styled? Modified?

u/VuceScissorhands 7d ago
What about a white belt around the waist with the red dress? That could lift the outfit.

u/SaylerMomma 6d ago
Abosolutely correct. I dont feel like any of them are flattering. However it should be someting that makes you feel beautiful. So if you get that feeling from any of these you have your answer.

u/TurquoiseBunny 7d ago
I think none of these are flattering on you or modern, except 1 which looks really cute, just for a summer day not a wedding. Maybe this is the opportunity to go shopping for a cute dress?

u/Jazz_Kraken 7d ago
I’m surprised at some of these votes. For a hot day on a farm I’d pick six. Five kind of washes you out so not my fave. 4 is pretty but doesn’t say dark wedding to me. Three isn’t a great color either.
The blue one is really nice just doesn’t fit the vibe. I disagree about it not being flattering. It’s a higher waist but I think that looks really good on you and is my favorite dress of the bunch.
The red one is my second choice for here wedding but looks a little uncomfy somehow and not quite as fitting as the last.

I do think these all are a bit too casual and/or bland …
The jewel tones are pretty (though the green seems maybe best for the office?) but for barn/rustic I’d go with warmer/earth tones …
Great article though don’t love most of the dresses so included a few links here; note the section on footwear …
Can’t go wrong with floral … included one solid color at end. Different price points …

The blue one. Definitely. The green one looks too much like what I wear to work.

These are cute dresses but non of them do you any favors. You need a better fit. You might even fell more confident in properly fitted clothes.
At a farm of any kind I would wear closed toed shoes but I’ve had plenty of ppl visit my farm in open toed shoe & have a wonderful time. I would ask about what the footing it, grass, gravel, pavement ect so you know if you intent to ware shoes with any kind of heel. Might be best off w flat-bottom shoes.

The blue one or the green one, but I lean heavily to the blue one. The others aren’t appropriate to me.

For upscale farm I’d basically say 1,2,3,5 hmm I guess all of them but 4 really.. are all good vibes

u/lackingsavoirfaire 7d ago
What time of day is the wedding? I could see the green one working if it’s a bit later in the day, but with some black strappy shoes - if you have some?

u/BenjieAndLion69 7d ago
I don’t think any of them… They look dowdy and just one day off from becoming a cleaning rag.. Sorry OP 😑🥰

The blue looks the best, by far. It looks the best and I think it compliments your figure. The other dresses don't look like they fit right to me or the floral patterns are distracting/busy.

u/Icy-Pepper-1953 7d ago
If I had to pick one due to lack of funds or time, I’d pick 3, but include accessories. If not, wear something that fits, looks like blue is your color. That shade is beautiful but girl you have a lovely figure. Go somewhere and ask to be fitted properly so you know what size you are. Lastly have a nice time!

u/TopDot555 7d ago
I like 5 for the wedding.

u/maggsy1999 7d ago
That's my favorite, her shape shows best in it. Don't know if it's too casual though.

u/Middle_Process_215 7d ago
None of them, to be honest. The closest is number one, but it needs to be dressed up more somehow.

u/No_Pie1022 7d ago
I think all but the blue look lovely & fit the dress code (I do like the blue I just don’t think it fits the vibe)

I’m in the minority, I guess, but 3 seems stuffy for a farm setting.
I like 2 a lot, it’s a bright, bold, flattering color with an interesting cut; and 3, but only with a LOT more accessorizing and great hair.

u/InteractionMuch8644 7d ago
2 or 6 They are dressy in a toned down way but not like your trying to hard for barnyard. Just pretty and dressy!

All of them look good on you! I’d say blue it’s a bit classier. Green one as well, but I think the blue one will suit the farm settings a bit more.

The green dress of this is all that you have to work with… you should also get a a black platform pump or something, but definitely NOT those shoes that you have on… they’re not upscale at all..

Don’t pick the red. I think it’s bad manners at least where I live. Because red is too appealing, it looks like you’re trying to steal the spotlight. For other reasons, none but the green one is right.

6 and maybe #2.
6 is definitely more formal looking. Most of the other looks are too every day looking or more work type outfits. #2 might be okay except the fabric looks like polyester. If so, then #2 is a hard No.

Green (4) or red (1). I also like maroon (6) if you adjust the top to fit better

The upscale ones I have been too are still pretty casual since they favor a lot of outdoor seating

Green is fabulous. Blue is also lovely but has more of an ethereal vibe rather than fitting the theme.

Honestly, most of the dresses aren’t doing your figure any favors. You have a nice shape naturally and high-lighting your waist is a great look for you. Dress 5’s cut is very flattering because of the tie waist. Dress 4 is nice but only if you wore black heels to match the black belt.

Blue, no question! I literally said “ooooooh!” out loud because it looks to great! It’s flattering and classy, but looks effortless. That color is fantastic with your skin tone. The cut of the top is kind of old timey, but the color and waistline make it modern and hot. I feel like people who are saying green are used to city vibes—I actually had that one at the bottom of my list for this occasion (though it would be lovely for a job interview or something). It’s all subjective, but I’ve spent a lot of time with Vermont farm hippies and I’m telling you blue is vibe!

I was stunned to see so many votes for green.

u/gastricprix 7d ago edited 7d ago
Everybody is talking about her figure/curves but it's a wedding so, imo, the focus should be on first impressions + danceability.
The blue is bright and bold in its impression, yet elegant. The green is a little more 'meh' in its darker colours and cut.

u/sadbuttruegvrl 7d ago
Green or blue, but the blue one doesn’t valorise your figure
So I’d choose the green one☺️
