sooo did you decide?? im in the same boat as you so im going to tell u what everyone tells me they are both beautiful and you look beautiful in both its your day only u know! ughhhhhhh!!

lots of luck keep us posted
 
Since they''re both the same fabric and you''d get #1 altered to have a sweetheart neckline anyway, why not go with #2 which was designed with the sweetheart neckline? The draping on the no. 1 bodice would also enhance your "assets" more than the cut of no. 1.

That said I still like # 1... but it''s far less bridal than no.2... which might make #1 the dress for you if you have a strong independent, non-conformist streak.

Can I change my mind again? I know, I know, I'm really not helping

After seeing #1 and #2 side by side, I gotta say #2 is more flattering (but I still like the material on #1 better). Like I said, I'm no help at all

it's just that I like them all.

If this helps anyone, both 1 and 2 are the same fabric, dupioni silk, just in different lighting. #1 was all indoor lighting and with #2, there were a lot of windows and outdoor light coming in, so #1 looks shinier, but they're actually the same.

OH! Wow, ok, they look really different to me. Except now looking back, I notice the closeup of the detail on #2 and can see it's the same. I do still like the detailing on #1 better... but #2 shows off your waist more and makes your "goodies" look, uh, more. lol. Tough decision.
 
misysu, if you go back to try them on again, get us some photos of the backs! From the front, it looks to me like dress 2 fits you better and it is very flattering. I feel like the cut of the neckline combined with the design of the bodice just gives you an air of height and grace, like a dancer The first dress, even edited to add the sweetheart, is nice and shows you have a great figure, but I find myself looking at the dress instead of at YOU. It looks slightly forced while number 1 seems very natural, if that makes any sense?

ladyciel-- I''m starting to agree with everyone here. Here is a pic of the back of #1. #2 has the same back- they''re just basic Maggie corsets with no embellishments. You can see a little of my strapless bra, so ignore that.

I''m realizing that the details of #1 in white (this sample is in champagne) aren''t going to have the same effect, and that I look kinda smashed into the dress. I also don''t like how you can see the boning so prominently in the photos. I have other photos of me in the dress, and the boning is clear in all of them.

As of now, I''m planning on dress #2. I still have to wait for the Casablanca (which never came in on time because the store that borrowed it previously hasn''t returned it on time--grr!). Then I''ll make my final decision. I love that Casablanca, but I''m worried about all the skirt fabric. I think the photo is doctored up so much it''s not going to be what I want it to be. So I''m buying shoes for #2 today!

I''ll make sure to post the Casablanca photos when the dress comes in-- I would love everyone''s last dress comparison input!
