I canceled my order today, what about these styles? if they are not right, please recommend one style for me. Fashion, pretty, chiifon, silk! Thank you
Please remember that this is your day and no one else's. While I know that you value the opinion of your friends and family, you should be picking a dress that YOU love. If you feel good in it and love it, then wear it no matter what anyone else says or thinks about your choice; this isn't their wedding, it's YOURS!!!
But your friend/sister might be right about it not being perfect for your body. You have a very small frame and I don't think you have enough chest to pull off that top portion. Had the top portion been flat and/or more structured it would work, however, the way the top portion is designed is better suited for a woman with um...larger "girls". I'm not saying it's made for DD or anything, but definitely larger than what you have going.
That's just my honest opinion.
If you really like the dress try finding it with a different top, like for example this one. Look for something that hugs your waist more since you have such a petite frame. You don't want to drown in fabric. See how the top portion wraps around her chest? Tops like that work better for women with a smaller chest.
I'm not really a fan of this dress, I just need an example of the top portion.
As for the three you listed. The first two I don't like, again for the top portions of it. The first one looks like you'll need more than a good bra to fill that out.
I think the third works best for your bust line and frame. I honestly think that kind of a cut looks better on a small frame because on a "gifted" woman it makes her look like she's showing too much skin (like a hussy). As you can tell, the third model seems to like just fine in it and she looks to be small in the bust too.
You can also consider getting those gel inserts if you want a dress but need help in that area a little. Just keep in mind that it only looks good if you only need a little help. Stuffing your top too much will throw off your body proportion and clearly look fake.
Since my wife has molded me into a straight version of Tim Gunn..... You are very petite, small bustline. That first dress is going to over power you, the ruffles on the bustline are going to draw attention away from your face. It would balance out if you had a bigger bust, I would look for a tighter fitted, high neckline dress to flatter your figure. But if you love it, its your day. Make it work.........
You have a beautiful face, would be a shame to have focus on ruffles bigger than you ! Grats on the big day.
Think this would be perfect on you. Has the newest off the shoulder look, elegant beading at the waist, as well as the charming light chifon going on at the bottom of the dress. Very fairy tale princess and very well designed for a petite woman.

I actually saw many I liked and thought would look lovely on you. But they were all somewhat similar to what sophialee posted and your second choice in this post with the three pictures.
I really love the picture that sophialee posted, and the second picture in your post. Same basic type and style of dress.
You seem to be drawn to the same type of dress. And remember it is easy for a seamstress to remove or add a small bit of ruching or ruffles. Both of those pics, sophialee's and your second pic here, are styles you could carry off very well, imo.
But most of all congratulations. Have confidence in knowing that your choice of dress is the right one, and that you alone must be pleased with it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks all my friends, thanks for your suggestion. I know that I can not choose big bottom and low v-neck dress. You know wedding day is my great day, so I must be very beautiful. My designer recommend other styles
I like a lot of the dresses you've shown and that others shared with you. But may I say that the dress in the third picture there would look exquisite on you. It reminds me somewhat of Vera Wang style. It's very simple and very feminine looking. Will you be wearing a long veil or a head dress?

I think you should wear whatever dress makes you feel like a *superstar*
