help me pick a black dress!

hey everyone! long time lurker, now hoping for some help.

i am between 3 black dresses that i am unable to try on before i order (RIP). please let me know your thoughts!

some context:

  • i am getting married in october 2025 at a perfectly restored Gilded Age mansion in the middle of the woods in the mountains of upstate NY.
  • our ceremony and reception will ideally be mostly outside in a clearing in the woods.
  • for our theme, think tasteful victorian haunted mansion, but not ✨halloween-y✨
  • my fiancée is wearing a vintage-inspired ivory dress with sleeves.
  • i have been talked in and out of dress #3. i fell in love the second i saw it (i’m a sucker for dramatic bell sleeves & off the shoulder). however, most people i’ve shown in real life seem to be off put by how “spooky” it seems given the model’s dark makeup/hairstyle/accessories. i have light grey/blonde hair cut into a bob, will be wearing much lighter makeup, and very delicate victorian-inspired jewelry.

given this information, i’d love to know what you think of the dresses! thank you all in advance!
