    I would choose short simply because I'm not usually comfortable showing my stomach but I do love the look on other people.

    Separates would at least give you the option of still having a long skirt. I like separates over a short dress.

    Separates is a great way to re-wear the wedding day attire later on

    I think the separates trend is really cute if you can pull it off.

    I'd do separate over short. I've worn many white dresses in my lifetime. A short white dress wouldn't feel bridal.

    Short because then you have options like tea length and those are so cute!

    I'd choose neither. But between the 2, separates. Never a short dress.

    If I had to choose, separates. My matron of honor and I were looking at dresses online over the weekend and it seems like there are a lot of short options and a lot of separates. Also a lot of jumpsuits. At least on the website we were looking at anyway. If that's your thing that's awesome but not for me.

    Ehhhh depends !! I would do short if it was a beach wedding and separate if it wasn’t showing belly just bc It’s not my style appropriate for a wedding

    Short dress over separates. Separates look too casual.

    Hmm this is tough. I like some short dresses, but I think I would be more likely to pick separates for myself.

    I have a strong dislike for both of these. But if I had to pick one, short.
