So i keep going back and forth between two dresses and i really need your help ladies! I need honest opinions! I loved both of them when i tried them on but im afraid the one i picked will look plain in pictures (even though i plan on glamming it up with diamonds etc). I know it really matters how you feel that day, but i dont want to look back at my pictures and think...i should've gotten something with a little bit more...




so here are the two that i was trying to pick from, they're both almost the same cut one just has beading detail:

1st choice:

2nd choice

I like #2. I like the way the fabric lays flatter and smoother. It looks great on your figure, but what wouldn''t!?!.
 
i like 1 way better.. more elegant.. id def glam it up just a tad though...maybe a nice brooch somewhere and a cool veil :-)
 
I also like #1 much better with maybe a brooch or feathery something.
 
Absolutlely #1 - no question!
 
Both dresses are draped beautifully and emphasize your teeny waist, so I don''t think you can go wrong.

I think #1 will be more chic, but then, I am a huge fan of simpler dresses with less beading and such. My own dress is incredibly simple, but I think the simplicity can highlight a great figure and lend an air of sophistication to your ensemble.

In the pictures, I thought the draping/ruching on #2 was even more flattering, if that''s possible. I think it might just be the way it''s clipped on you--if you say they are essentially the same thing, I would stick with #1 and its sophisticated look. Honestly, you will look perfect in either one, so don''t feel too much buyer''s remorse about going with one over the other.
 
As someone who believes more is more and loves extra embellishments and fanciful everything every day..........
I still love number one.
It looks fabulous on you, it''s so chic and elegant, and I would just add a huge retro brooch and lots of accessories, a colored shoe......but stick with number one, it is FABULOUS on you!!
 
I like #2 better, I love #1 when you showed us the other day, but seeing them side by side, i like #2 better.
when you look at the two pics, what do you like better?????
 
They both look great, I think you found an awesome style for your bod! But as someone who almost always leans toward less is more...I go for #1 and then you have an opportunity to do just about anything with accessories!
 
I think both are elegant yet simple, even #2 with the beadwork.

My vote is #2 as it seems MORE flattering on your figure, but you can''t go wrong with either!
 
Honestly, I absolutely LOVE the one you chose - no questions. . . but I can certainly understand second thoughts about your dress - I have them 3 weeks before my wedding! I just wanted to reassure you that the dress you chose is stunning and absolutely gorgeous on you!
 
I absolutely don''t know which one to go for-they both look phenomenal on you. You can''t go wrong either way.
 
Clearly, you''ve got a great figure and amazing taste. Like the others posted I don''t think you can go wrong with either dress, whichever you choose you''re going to be a stunning bride. However, my vote''s for number 1 - I love its simplicity and think you look especially beautiful in that one.
 
I like #2!
 
I love them both, but I am still more in love with #1
 
I think they both look really good on you. If you want to do a blingy necklace, you may want to consider #1 instead b/c it''ll overpower the beading on your dress and be too distracting. You can also add a broach or silk flower on the side of #1 where the dress gathers so it''ll be kinda like the Melissa Sweet Mila style. Personally, I''m not a fan of beading so I lean towards #1 myself...your taste is most excellent!

i love #2!!!!!!!!! timeless dress!
 
As others have said, both styles look lovely on you! Think of how each will fit in with your venue. Which one do you feel is more you?
 
Without alterations, it is hard to say which would look better as the final product. Right now, I think 2 looks better on you.
 
I like #2 - which is odd, because I usually go for less-is-more.

Either way you are going to look gorgouse!
 
#2 for me. I think it frames you better and I really like the bead work in it
 
#1.

You can always dress it up with accessories. With #2 you are stuck with it. You can''t start ripping lace applique off ya know

I like them both, so it''s entirely up to you

I like that dress number 2 lies flatter, but I like that dress 1 doesn't have all the additional details. To me, less is more.

I am not allowing myself to look at pictures of wedding dresses now that I have ordered one because I am TOTALLY the type to second guess myself. Maybe this "method" would help you out too!?

Go to the bridal shop and try the dress on one more time to remind you of how it makes you feel. Besides, you have a lot more options with accessories if you choose dress 1. The dress can be your "blank" canvas.
 
i love both dresses, but #2 flatters you a bit more....#1 looks a bit wrinkly and not as smooth as #2.
 
I''m partial to #2, but I''m a lace-and-beading kind of girl. They both look fantastic on you, though! Do you mind telling us who the designer of #2 is?
 
I love #2, the beading just adds something really nice to the overall look, IMO.
 
I love both dresses on you. But if I am being honest, I have to say that I prefer #2.

Again, both dresses are lovely, but the first dress is beginning to look to me like everyone elses dress. I don''t want to say this is a hurtful way at all, so I hope you don''t take offense, because I truly don''t mean any, but I was just at a bridal shower where they made a wedding dress out of toilet paper and it very much resembled the top 2/3rds of Dress #1. I suppose that image may be clouding my opinion.

Again, you rock both of those dresses and you will look stunning in either of them. I prefer the second because it is a bit more unique and I like bling.

Having said that....it''s your day and your dress and I think you should go with your gut and know that either one will be beautiful.

no offense taken! one of my guys friends actually said that it looks like im wearing a cotton comforter...LOL.
 
You look gorgeous in both, but I do love #1. As Purrfectpear said, you can easily add to #1 if you feel the need, but I feel it''s perfect the way it is.
