Well, 4. I need to learn to proofread...

They are all very pretty. I love the lemon-colored dress but it may be too formal for a bridal shower at a resort.

I like the first 2 dresses. The Kay Unger Nordstrom dress is a cocktail dress and way too dressy for a bridal shower.

I know I’m not supposed to love this dress but I do!

Very pretty. I love the colors! I actually think it might be even better if it were knee-length but that may just be me. Either way the wearer would stand out in a good way!

I like all the dresses from Macy's, Ann Taylor and J McLaughlin. I think the others are too formal and too fussy for a resort location and OP would feel out of place for a daytime event.

I also like the suggestions from 9:46 about the slacks. You could go with linen or a wearever type pant from JJill or Talbots and look very pulled together.

You also could go with a skirt. Here are some resort-type skirts from Talbots that you can dress up or down depending on the top and sandals you choose to pair with it.

Summer resort means summer resort wear.

My MIL rarely wears dresses, yet she is always the best dressed woman in any room. She would wear white slacks or a brightly colored slacks with a blouse with the sleeves cuffed and the collar popped. Nice flats, gorgeous jewelry and coordinated handbag. Think: resort preppy.

If you wear a dress, it shouldn’t be a structured office-looking dress. Find a resort dress.

Can anyone help with suggestions? Summer and resort location. I pretty much only wear a dress when absolutely required, and I feel this is one such occasion. I’m 5’4”, 145 pounds. (“Hourglass” and a full support bra an absolute must). Usually a more structured form fitting dress, mostly solid color, slight v neck is best. But I can’t seem to find anything I like.
