I'd say keep all three of these dresses for one occasion or the other, if you can --- wow! Though I agree, the third is best as a day dress, probably, rather than at a wedding.</p> <p>I totally see the charm of #1, and like many others, was leaning towards it from the thumbnnails alone. But then I saw #2...! (Are you hearing 'broken record' yet?) I love the way it shows off your pretty shoulders and flatters your bust, and it's so ladylike. I understand the 'maternity silhouette' issue with the empire waistband viewed in profile, but I wonder if a more supportive foundation to lift the bust wouldn't result in a more curvy shape. And if you're going to be moving around a lot, and especially if you're dancing, now only will you be more comfortable in #2, you'll be showing off your silhouette beautifully with that swirly skirt.</p> <p>For photo ops, I'd suggest facing the camera or using your purse or clutch (assuming you'll carry one?) to, uh, 'dent' the skirt under the bump when side-on to the camera --- I'm not explaining this very well, sorry.</p> <p>You're going to be glowing, either way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739639 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 02:39:35 +0000 Jaime 739639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot believe how well you wear these regular dresses while pregnant. The first one looks like a very modern pregnancy, bodycon look and the second one looks more of a traditional pregnancy look if that makes sense. Truly you look gorgeous in all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739629 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 02:30:50 +0000 Angie 739629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1 by far! Was there consensus? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739624 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 02:23:50 +0000 Anonymous 739624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote goes to #2 followed by #1. The second seems to fit the occasion best, but you would be the best judge of that. You will be lovely in either one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739603 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 01:51:36 +0000 Girl X 739603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it's #1 no question - your sister really picked a great colour for you! I hope you have some other cobalt items in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739599 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 01:35:09 +0000 Echo 739599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the second dress. Flowy goes better with pregnancy for me, and I think that the first dress downplays your bust and over-emphasizes the bump. Again, not bad to emphasize the bump, but I think the second dress makes you look more proportional and that it is more flattering. You are gorgeous in blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739582 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 01:01:01 +0000 Anonymous 739582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not reading any of the comments. I really agree with your DH though. I love the first dress. The second is very nice, but it looks like it might be hard to hide bra straps with the top. Even though the side view of #2 makes you look larger than you do in the first dress, I'm sure with movement, your true silhouette will be revealed. They are all lovely. You're lucky that sis chose a color that you look so wonderful in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739578 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 00:48:29 +0000 krishnidoux 739578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good! All of them are gorgeous, but dress 2 wins my heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739397 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 21:47:14 +0000 Suz 739397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I actually love them all, but I am voting for #2 because it feels most festive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739383 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 21:27:01 +0000 Ariadne 739383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 (though I initially thought #1). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739275 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:07:59 +0000 unfrumped 739275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK I needed to analyze some more about why #2 and not #1, since #1 has some of the features I like in modern "materity" dressing, where it's okay to highlight our protuberance-ness. It's the neckline. The higher neckline is more flattering with "the bump" instead of the v heading down to meet the bump. So that's part of it, for me, along with everything else. Although, if I looked that good any of the 3 dresses, I'd be happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739236 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:11:39 +0000 Jules 739236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look pretty great But relatively, I feel #1 is minimizing your bust while accentuating the belly (which I am not against - pregnant is beautiful!). I am not sure it will photograph as well as #2, which is just beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739220 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:58:47 +0000 cciele 739220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm voting for 2 -- love the floaty nature of this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739196 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:30:26 +0000 Sandy 739196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all beautiful, but I like #1 and #2 better than #3, but you'll look wonderful in any of them. I can't believe they aren't maternity dresses, they look so good with the bump. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739110 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 17:18:35 +0000 rachylou 739110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough. I saw #1 and was all "That's the one!" Then I saw #2... The material of #2 falls very beautifully, but #1 is a more "with it" dress. Both are very flattering.</p> <p>I vote against #3. Love the neckline, but I don't think the sewing is of the same quality as the other two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739101 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 17:08:30 +0000 nk123 739101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in all of them. I am a jewelry girl so I would decide based on which piece showcases my bling the best!! Also hair up/ hair down? Glasses or contacts? All of the dresses look fantastic on you - I would decide based on the other components of the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739090 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 16:56:35 +0000 Sheila 739090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely #2. The silhouette is so much more flattering to my eye. And the swish of the skirt is very sexy! Please, please wear it for the wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options/page/2#post-739084 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 16:50:44 +0000 K. Period. 739084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think we're going to do any good helping you here! We're all over the place. </p> <p>I love #1. At first glance, I loved #2 even more, but then it started to get to me how the band sits on the top of your tummy. My youngest is just about to turn two, so I've been in your situation recently and had to find a good dress for a wedding party when I was pregnant and I'm very sympathetic. For me, the band not sitting quite right was a deal killer, but it is probably a weird me thing. Everyone else loves it. Also, I wonder about support for the ladies. Will you need to buy a special bra? I could never go without, especially while pregnant with all the additional and the sensitivity. Probably TMI and probably just one of my weird quirks, but eh. Anyhow, 3 is lovely too, but I think 1 is even better. </p> <p>You know what I particularly love about 1? It is body con. You have a beautiful, gorgeous belly to show off along with the ultra fabulous rest of you. I like unabashed adoration of the belly. Therefore, I love 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options#post-739078 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 16:47:08 +0000 catgirl 739078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #2 here - beautiful and graceful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options#post-739070 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 16:42:50 +0000 sinead 739070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 for the wedding.

I do kind of like the idea of #1 though because it's not your typical Pregnant Lady formal dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options#post-738998 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:33:33 +0000 unfrumped 738998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe how great you look wearing real dresses while pregnant. Amazing.</p> <p>I vote #2. I realize it has the larger side profile compared with the more body-con ones, including #1, but I agree with scarlet that in real life it is going to look more effortless and comfortable in a pretty way as you walk, sit, stand, visit with guests, and therefore you are likely to look best overall and be perceived by others. The front view is also the most beautiful, in these photos at least, and that's how you'll mostly be captured for the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options#post-738965 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:57:12 +0000 anne 738965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No 1 for me. Love no 2 from the front but not side but No 1 works from all angles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options#post-738962 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:53:48 +0000 JAileen 738962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3. Looks dressy to me. Then #1. #2 looks expected, conventional, typical. And boring?<br /> When you're pregnant you get cut some slack. Take advantage of this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options#post-738959 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:48:02 +0000 DeniseP 738959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like all three, since the color is FAB on you, but after reading Sveta's comment, I agree that number two seems to be more comfortable? Vote #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobalt-dress-for-sisters-wedding--pick-best-of-3-options#post-738937 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:14:42 +0000 Jamie 738937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Put me down for #2 as well.
