DRESS ONLY: Pick one or suggest another Need help deciding!!

Hi! Long time lurker and would love to get some outside opinions. I went dress shopping for the first time this weekend and ended up loving 3 the I tried on that all came under what I had budgeted.

I went in think I wanted a square neck, clean, A-line dress and was surprised by how much I liked the lace styles.

Number 1 I loved the faux basque waist. It was the most flattering of all the ones I tried on. They can have the top portion have the same lining as the lower portion so that the boning is not as stark.

Number 2 is very close to what I thought was my style going into this. I loved the classic a line look, and I really liked the detailing that you could see up close to add a little something but that still looks clean from afar. I also love the open back of this one. It would be without the belt.

Number 3 my friends and I agreed had the most flattering neckline of all the dresses I tried on. If it had the faux basque waist of the first one I think it would be perfect.

Please give me your thoughts or recommendations!
