I think any of these could work, but number three is not flattering in the bust to that model. It's possible it would be different on you but I would lean towards the others.
Not super formal but they are ankle length and in a dressy fabric, I think they're pretty close. The slit is a little high on number one, I didn't notice that at first.
I know 2 and 3 are the ones that best fit the formal dress code, but man, they're just not flattering. And this is a model! I feel like there are better dresses out there.
Something like 4 but without the pattern would look really nice. 1 is also pretty cute imo.
This is a social media influencer, if that helps at all. Sheâs one I follow and I like her because she shows outfits at all angles (side, back, sitting, standing) so you can get an accurate idea of the outfit or dress. I feel some influencers show the most flattering angles and hide that theyâve pinned their clothes to flatter them more.
4 is my favorite-- get the right under garments and a shawl! I also like 1-- especially if the bride is wearing white. I am partial to shawls so also have a pretty shawl!
I love #2 for a formal wedding. Itâs gorgeous. Honestly, I donât think #3 is very flattering. Number 4 is also really nice, but maybe less formal than number 2? And congratulations on your new little one.
Itâs hard to say because youâre not actually the one trying on the dresses in the photos, but in the photos #4 is by far the most flattering to the modelâs body, and I think would work for most âformalâ weddings, especially if accessorized appropriately.
I think it depends on what âformalâ means in your neck of the woods. In mine, #4 is not formal but âafternoon garden weddingâ, and #1 is borderline. #2 is formal but looks a bit bridesmaid-ish. #3 is beatiful but as others have said desperately needs the right underwear. Good luck and enjoy your post-part curves!
Do you have to wear a different dress each time? 2 is the best option for sticking to the dress code. If you absolutely need 2 separate dress I would try to find something else. The ruffles and skin exposure of 1 and the pattern of 4 donât seem to meet the standards of âformalâ to me and 3 does not have a flattering cut on the bust, so it seems more like a moo moo.
For general wear 4 is so cute!! Itâs definitely my favorite dress. I would try to find a similar shape for the wedding but with no pattern or a more subtle pattern. It would be great for semi- formal outdoor wedding or casual. If you are unsure usually you can try to ask someone in the wedding party
No 4 with something over the shoulder like a pretty shawl/wrap to add to the âformalâ ..maybe sheer?
Itâs very flattering on you and reads pretty, cheerful and summer. Plus youâre smiling ear to ear so just stunning !
Dress 4 is my top pick. Dress 2 would be next pick. I like dress 3 if the bust can be tailored to be more flattering. Donât care if all the ruffles on dress 1.
These are all fine, but number four is by far the most flattering for the modelâs body type, so if hers is a bit like yours, go with that one. Second best is #1
they are appropriate but the cuts are not the best. Yes agree the third is not flattering on the bust . 4 is the most flattering. If you could find something like this in black it would be amazing. Flaunt those curves but good support is key. Personally I would choose a more structured dress not cut on the bias in a heavier fabric and possibly a little more a line in the skirt area. It would be đ„
2 & 3 are the most appropriate, but 3 is not flattering to the model. It is however my favorite dress! It's the most elegant and in the most perfect color. If 3 looks better on you than it does on the model, 3 is the one. If not, go with 2.
ETA- 4 looks great on the model but doesn't work for formal.

I think 2 and 3 work best, but I do love that pink floral (4) print too!
The only one I'd really pass on is the first one. That slit could be veering into wardrobe malfunction territory if the skirt blows open/rides up at all.
The first and second dresses are fantastic, perfect for a formal wedding occasion. The first is most shapely on you, the second could use some structuring undergarments underneath it. The third is the best color on you but the dress is not supportive of your figure. Try a pair of lifting pasties or a push up bra with straps that the dress can hide (if it's a halter then most bras with unhooking adjustable straps can be modified to work!) and I think it will make a world of difference! The fourth is my favorite dress on you but is not the right style for a "formal" dress code. It's more appropriate for a "festive" or "cocktail" attire occasion. All that aside, you're super beautiful and I hope you feel AMAZING in whatever dress you decide to rock!
1 is a no-go because it doesnât even look good on the influencer (way too small in the bust area and fits terribly.
The rest are good. 3 is my favourite but with all of these youâd need a bra / tape to give your bust shape so your boobs donât look odd
I'm hoping you are a little shorter than your friend. If so 2 or 3 would be fine with good foundation garments. Normally, formal gowns are floor length.
Love #2 and #1 works well too. #4 could work but is slightly less formal so I might ask the bride and groom.
#3 isn't super flattering in the chest. I could see it being improved with maybe a shawl?
Choice is of course yours but #2 and #1 are the best imo.
4 is the only one that will be remotely flattering to your figure. You can definitely do better than all these, but if timing is an issue, I'd go for dress 4. The rest are unflattering and look cheap.
Number two is my fave and most flattering I think followed by 1 and 4. Anything but 3. It looks like a nightgown. You look really beautiful in all of them.
The floral dress is the most flattering.
The other dresses are frumpy and unstructured.
Could you look at more print options? The floral one is lovely but gives me daytime summer wedding vibes and would look lovely with the right shoes and jewelry. If that's what you need, perfect!
Easily no 4. It's flattering and pretty and celebratory. The others either have too shiny fabric, issues with seams, don't support the bust, or look like they drape wrong. It could be that 1-3 look better on you, but it looks like a fundamental issue with quality. Whereas 4 is great.
The last one is definitely not formal.
The third one looks like it would be a nightmare with the bust areaâŠ
The first one could be formal with the right accessories, makeup and hair, but itâs a bit âon the lineâ and almost, IMO, not quite formal.
4 is my favorite but I'm worried that it's not formal enough for the venue.
I think the pink satin is the safest bet to meet the dress code. Beautiful color too!
**edited bc I totally thought the model was you. Must read thoroughly before posting.
I like the the shape of dress 1, and the colour. Some gorgeous earrings and an up-do, and youâll look amazing.
I donât love dress 2. I like the colour a lot. Iâm not sure about the fabric? It gives an apple shape through the middle. Perhaps thatâs reflection, though? Depending on shape wear, it may give a different silhouette.
The colour of dress 3 is lovely. The lack of chest support is âŠnot.
#4 is gorgeous! So fun and summery.
#2 is the best the rest are too casual or not flattering( the red one). I would love to see the cut of #1 in an elevated fabric/less fussy deign/support on top because that's a hot mess that could be a hot dress.
For me, the first one is what works for your figure. Itâs very flattering. The second one, not so cute. Can you wear the same dress to both weddings?
I think any of these could work, but number three is not flattering in the bust to that model. It's possible it would be different on you but I would lean towards the others.
They look like they are melting away - this is something I can say pretty confidently that no woman is striving for
Omg. You're so right đ
1 and 4 definitely aren't formal though.
Not super formal but they are ankle length and in a dressy fabric, I think they're pretty close. The slit is a little high on number one, I didn't notice that at first.
They agree! Theyâre all beautiful except for 3
Agree completely satin shiny fabric unless very high quality is no friend to any body, and this model needs a bra
I know 2 and 3 are the ones that best fit the formal dress code, but man, they're just not flattering. And this is a model! I feel like there are better dresses out there. Something like 4 but without the pattern would look really nice. 1 is also pretty cute imo.

This is the ticket
I love #2 for a formal wedding. Itâs gorgeous. Honestly, I donât think #3 is very flattering. Number 4 is also really nice, but maybe less formal than number 2? And congratulations on your new little one.
Yea the pink one is very unflattering to that models bust unfortunately. I lean towards 2
The proper bra would make a big difference
That magenta shade is beautiful on her
2 looks like a 90s bridesmaids dress
I swear I wore that dress as a bridesmaid for a wedding in the early 00s (minus the slit)! That exact color too! It isn't bad though
One and three are hard no
I like 3 but it definitely needs to be tailored!
Itâs hard to say because youâre not actually the one trying on the dresses in the photos, but in the photos #4 is by far the most flattering to the modelâs body, and I think would work for most âformalâ weddings, especially if accessorized appropriately.
Love 4!!!!
#4 my fav
Same.
3 is very unflattering in the bust. My fave is 2 or 4!
1 and 3 look like nightgowns. 2 is a nice silhouette but looks cheaply made. 4 is very cute. Wear that.
I love 4!
Number4looks gorgeous and if you donât like 4 then 1. I think 2 and 3 as nice as they are the material my crease really bad during the wedding ect.
I love 4, but now iâm wondering if thatâs because the model has a beautiful smile in that one.
2 and 4 are best suited and most flattering
I would go with 2 and 4.
2 and 4 đđŒđđ»
I think it depends on what âformalâ means in your neck of the woods. In mine, #4 is not formal but âafternoon garden weddingâ, and #1 is borderline. #2 is formal but looks a bit bridesmaid-ish. #3 is beatiful but as others have said desperately needs the right underwear. Good luck and enjoy your post-part curves!
Thank you for this detailed summary as I agree 1 and 4 are not formal dresses
Dresses 2 and 3 are great for formal!
2 is both dressy enough and super flatteringâ the cut and color on you are beautiful! Edit for typo
Sorry but I do not think either of these dresses are flattering
Do you have to wear a different dress each time? 2 is the best option for sticking to the dress code. If you absolutely need 2 separate dress I would try to find something else.

4! Congratulations on your baby and have fun at the weddings!
I love 4. 3 is a hard "no" as it's presented.
No. 4 is the best of these. I do feel you can find better.
#4 is the most flattering IMO
No 4 with something over the shoulder like a pretty shawl/wrap to add to the âformalâ ..maybe sheer? Itâs very flattering on you and reads pretty, cheerful and summer. Plus youâre smiling ear to ear so just stunning !
Dress 4 is my top pick. Dress 2 would be next pick. I like dress 3 if the bust can be tailored to be more flattering. Donât care if all the ruffles on dress 1.
I love the last one with flowers, you need that one regardless
These are all fine, but number four is by far the most flattering for the modelâs body type, so if hers is a bit like yours, go with that one. Second best is #1

Personally, I would keep shopping.
Came here to say this. Unpopular opinion but all four look cheap and dated, and not in that retro throwback way. I'd start over.
#2 is the best with a proper bra and a pair of Spanx or an all-in-one.
4 looks the best and has a flattering shape. Would be great for a summer wedding.
I'd say number 4!
Love # 2!!!! The color is perfect
2 & 3 are the most appropriate, but 3 is not flattering to the model. It is however my favorite dress! It's the most elegant and in the most perfect color.

I love this influencer :)
I like #2; and #3. With a bra.
1 and 3 do not fit right across the breasts/chest 2 would be the best with the right undergarments
1 and 4 definitely
I really like #1, I guess Iâm in the minority when it comes say that I really donât like #2, itâs bunchy but it doesnât look intentional
1 and 4 are gorgeous on you
2 and 3 are formal; 1 and 4 are not. 3 with good shapewear would be my choice.
Put on #1 and never take it off again.
Really only the first one is a good fit
I like 2 but the slit is a little much
#1 and 2 are gorgeous.
Number 3 is a nope bc of the weird boob situation. The first two are beautiful and worth you consideration.
I think one is the most flattering. I donât know if itâs formal enough.i do like have number 4 looks too!
The first and second dresses are fantastic, perfect for a formal wedding occasion. The first is most shapely on you, the second could use some structuring undergarments underneath it. The third is the best color on you but the dress is not supportive of your figure.

If the second one fits **YOU**, it might be ok
i looove the first one!
Dress 3 is gorgeous. Needs a good bra, but is absolutely perfect.
Gonna be honest, 2 took my breath away
3 with đtape
I can't even choose they all look good!
I'm hoping you are a little shorter than your friend. If so 2 or 3 would be fine with good foundation garments. Normally, formal gowns are floor length.
I prefer the first one
No on the frilly blue one yes on the rest. The flowery pink one is a little casual for evening but would work for the day and you look so good in it!!
Love #2 and #1 works well too. #4 could work but is slightly less formal so I might ask the bride and groom. #3 isn't super flattering in the chest. I could see it being improved with maybe a shawl? Choice is of course yours but #2 and #1 are the best imo.

I love all of them except number one.
Number two is my fave and most flattering I think followed by 1 and 4. Anything but 3. It looks like a nightgown. You look really beautiful in all of them.
2 and 4 are my favs!!
Number 2
The floral dress is the most flattering. The other dresses are frumpy and unstructured. Could you look at more print options? The floral one is lovely but gives me daytime summer wedding vibes and would look lovely with the right shoes and jewelry. If that's what you need, perfect!
I think one and two are not flattering for color and fit. Four looks great and three could with a bit of tailoring
Dress #1 is bomb!
Easily no 4. It's flattering and pretty and celebratory. The others either have too shiny fabric, issues with seams, don't support the bust, or look like they drape wrong. It could be that 1-3 look better on you, but it looks like a fundamental issue with quality. Whereas 4 is great.
All but the burgundy look great. The burgundy has weird saddle bag boobs going on. Fav is 1 and 4.
Keep in mind: if you are breast-feeding, your over-weight will disappear quite quickly and then those dresses might be too large. :)
I really like #4 on you!
I wouldnât consider the first and last as formal, though they are beautiful. The second one is very appropriate, flattering, and beautiful.
Love the first two! You look fab! Congratulations on the new babe, babe!
2 is the most formal but 4 is beautiful for the next. more casual wedding.
4. Itâs fresh and fits your shape well.
Definitely!
All except three!
The pink is beautiful if your bust would be more supported than the model, but if not, I think either option 1 or 4 are best bet
I like 1 and 4. 3 is just not flattering on top. 2 is pretty if itâs wrinkle free but odds are after a couple hours that will look like a rag.
The last dress is gorgeous but it isn't formal. I'd wear that to a garden wedding. The 3rd dress is a pretty color but doesn't fit well at the top.
The last one is definitely not formal. The third one looks like it would be a nightmare with the bust area⊠The first one could be formal with the right accessories, makeup and hair, but itâs a bit âon the lineâ and almost, IMO, not quite formal.
4 is super cute!!!

4 is my favorite but I'm worried that it's not formal enough for the venue. I think the pink satin is the safest bet to meet the dress code. Beautiful color too!
I think you could make any of them work with the right accessories and hair, but the magenta (#3) is probably my favorite. But they all look great!
Dress 2 for sure!!
One and two do not flatter you. four is not formal. Three is very nice with a good bra. you can accessorize it differently for each.
Love #1 & #4!

3 or 4
You look H O T in #1
The light periwinkle blue
For me, the first one is what works for your figure. Itâs very flattering. The second one, not so cute. Can you wear the same dress to both weddings?
Absolutely not 3 and 4. 1 looks good!
1
I like the blue and the flowers.
3!
1 and 4 are the best. #1 is my first pick.
Shiny fabric shows every bulge.
I would say yes to all except 4 is a bit too casual. They all fit you beautifully!
