That first one, the poor woman must be standing on a chair or something, or I've never seen such long legs. I'm with Lyds, I think the 3rd one would look quite fashionable on ya...
Being a seamstress (unlike everyone else that has commented), I'll use the pattern numbers. hehe! :)
I really like 4400, but all those buttons down the front are going to take a lot of time...which is fine if you want to take a lot of time. But if not, I'd opt for 4551. I really like B3992, but it seems more like a younger girl's dress, and since you're not a teenager, I'd go with the bigger skirt. I think authentically a younger girl had a shorter skirt (mid-calf) and not such a full skirt. But that's just one person's opinion.
I love the first one, but it dosn't look like you could pull it off withough a period corset. :P The second one is my second choice, and it looks like a corset isn't manditory.
I love 4451! Although I own the third, I've yet to have an occasion to make it up. I need to convince the people around here to have a Civil War day! :)
I really like the second choice, the Simplicity day dress. I really like the sleeves on that one. I might be slightly swayed by the color too though, that's a very pretty yellow.

They're all nice!
I like Butterick 3992 the third one
Simplicity 4551 :D
I think it's gorgeous. The Butterick one would be my second favorite.
4551 is my vote, but they're all lovely. :)
I vote for the yellow dress in 4551. I wish we had civil war days around here. They sound like a lot of fun!
I think you would look beautiful in any or all three of them!!!!!!!!

I like 4551, I don't really care for the sleeves of the first one. Second one looks very comfortable
