I love BOTH of those dresses - they are both gorgeous!!! If I HAD to pick one, I would say #2, but you really can''t go wrong Good luck and let us know what you decide!

Oh and I meant to say, for Dress 2, I agree with doing it in a single color. GL!!

You made the right decision, and it really looks wonderful on you! Good job!

I love that this dress is *different* from other strapless sweetheart necklines. Maybe it''s the contrast, maybe it''s the beading; all I know is a really like this dress on you.

Oooh I love the way the 1881 fits you. - your figure looks great. And it seems like it is The Dress for you. I do, however, agree with NeatFreak about the two-tone. In fact, I think if the dress was all ivory, it would look even classier. But it is your wedding and the great thing about that is, when all is said and done, you get to choose whatever you want and whatever makes you feel most special!

Well, I am trying to find a salon that carries the 1881 in all one color. Everyone seems to only carry the 2 tone. Obviously, I am a bit hesitant ordering the all ivory without seeing it. The details are what I love about the dress and I am worried that in all one color I may lose that. But I am trying my hardest to get a hold of the all ivory. I don''t think I could go wrong in all one color, but spending $800 for my WEDDING DRESS without seeing it makes me NERVOUS!

But you all make great points and I think it could look very classy in all ivory.

I want a special dress but nothing too trendy that down the road I would regret..... ugh sooo hard!

I definitely love the strapless dress on you, and it shows your figure off WONDERFULLY! That said, I think I would vote for the solid color as well, and here''s why: with the 2-tone, my eye travels straight to your middle/waist the second I look at the photos. I imagine that when you tried on the dress, you looked at yourself in the mirror, your eyes went straight to your tiny waist, and you saw how complimentary the shape of the dress is - of course you loved it. But remember that your guests will do the same thing, as will your FI at the end of the aisle. Do you want them to see your beaming face first, or do you want to have to wait for all of their eyes to make there way up there? I know you haven''t gotten to try on the solid ivory, and I hope you can find it, but I think the solid version will let you shine just that much brighter while still showing off how fab your body is!

I like the 1831 more... but you look beautiful in both

 

[Aloros]

I say 1881 all the way!

And I guess I''m in the minority, but I think the two-tone is lovely.

I love the strapless on you. And I actually prefer the two-tone. It looks couture and striking to me, not at all bandage-like. It will all just depend on the person viewing you. Taste varies, that''s the one thing I learned during my dress search. There is no way you are going to find a dress that it everyone''s favorite. I love the two-tone look...you have a tiny waist and it really highlights it. That said, I don''t think you can make a mistake with all ivory, so it would be the safe choice, I guess.

Ok, well for those of you still following my dress drama, I think I have decided on the 1881. It has everything that the 1831 kind of left me hanging on and wanting. As for the color, I am hesitant to order something without seeing it, so I called around to a few stores (an hour radius) to see if they had the dress in all ivory. Well I got a message from the one store, that a bride had ordered it in the ivory, so I could see but not try it on. So, I think I will have to wait next Thursday, but I will be able to see it in person (YAY!).... that will help me chose. Even the sales lady said the dress looks very different in all one shade.

Updates next week! Thanks to you all very helpful ladies!
