Dress shopping!

Ok,  these first three are not really my favorites.  As I look at this first dress now, it's kinda blah.  And the bodice is a little too 50's pointy for me.  If you know what I mean.  Not too much else to say.
Also a very pretty dress but again too much bust.  Yah, I wasn't filling that up at all.  But it was pretty.  It had a sheer/tulle-like shimmery overlay.  That ribbon around the waist was weird;  it didn't stay in place and was just annoying.
Same dress from the back.  I think the best thing about this was the skirt.  The word frothy comes to mind - it wasn't heavy or super clingy or drapy.  
Here are some of the dresses I liked the most.  This first picture is a dress I keep liking when I see it.  It's got pleat-like gathers on the front with a little beaded area under the bust.  The skirt was also very pretty.  It had little pleats on the side which were fun.
This dress I liked more for its style/silhouette.  It had a low waist with some almost wrap places on the hips and ribcage.  It was very pretty but not me.  Too much beading.  I had a passing thought that I could get the dress and then just take off the beading but that would have been just not right.  Sigh. 
I think this would have been the dress I would have gotten if it was less expensive.  Which I think is funny because it's got like a two inch strip of beading so I don't know why it was so much.  Blah, anyway.  That and it was really tight.  But it had nice fabric,  just a little beading and a pretty skirt that was long and simple.
