Help! Allure or Mori Lee??

I'm trying to decide between two dresses -- the Mori Lee 1602 and Allure 8526. What's your vote? I need to decide ASAP because my wedding is 8 months away!!!!  I'm going for a very fitted look but something that still looks elegant. 

MORI LEE 1602:

ALLURE 8526:

(I photoshopped a sweetheart neckline onto the dress..lol..would probably get that done if I go with this dress)




Re: Help! Allure or Mori Lee??

  • Oh I love the first one on you. Both are beautiul! 
  • I love the Mori Lee one!
  • The Mori Lee one is unbelievable on you!
  • They're both gorgeous, but I love the drama of the fuller bottom on the Mori Lee - it looks more "bridal" to me.

  • Wow.  I'm surprised by the responses.  I basically hate the Mori Lee one, haha.

    Allure all the way.
  • Ditto Joy.

    The Mori Lee is way too poofy at the bottom for my taste.  I like the Allure, though.
  • I much prefer the Mori Lee dress on you.

    This is exactly what I was thinking.  I just really don't like the bottom, I love the Allure.

  • The Allure definitely looks better.   There's nothing elegant about that Mori Lee skirt.
  • The Mori Lee is STUNNING on you!!

  • I vote for the Mori Lee... it looks stunning on you. The Allure looks difficult to walk in!
  • Mori Lee ALL THE WAY! No contest.

    You look GORGEOUS in it and the dress makes such a statement. I think that the Mori Lee is more unique and would look great ini pictures. Looks more "bridal" to me. I love it!

  • Mori Lee hands down! It makes a much bigger statement than the Allure dress. Allure looks way too ordinary to me. However I am a fan of big so I might be a little biased haha.. but honestly, the Mori Lee dress is much more flattering on you. It achieves the fitted look you're going for. GL!

  • Thanks for all the feedback!! Does anyone have wedding photos in the Mori? I've seen photos of the Allure "in action" and it looks fab on other brides.  I don't know if its the camera angle or just wishful thinking, but I felt like the Allure had more shape to it in person that it looks in these pics. Here's a self-photo if this helps at all... hmmmm..... still being indecisive here :)    
  • The allure looks totally elegant.   Love it!
  • I HAVE a Mori Lee dress (wedding is in June!) and I LOVE IT!!! :) I voted Mori! Much more bridal looking, statement, GO MORI!

  • If you want advice on shape, the Allure looks incredible on you. The Mori Lee one doesn't do a thing for your figure

    Plus, The Mori Lee looks too "prom" for my taste

  • I love the Mori Lee one on you, looks great!  The allure one just doesn't "wow" me, honestly it looks cheaper in design & fabric than the other one.  And it doesn't flatter your figure as much!

    I love the Allure, it is much more elegant. DD wore an Allure and they make very high quality dresses.

    ETA:  The poufiess of the bottom of the Mori Lee distracts from the rest of the dress.  It is more form fitting, but the fit isn't as apparent because all you see is the poof.
  • I voted for the Mori Lee. I think it looks amazing on you and is such a wow dress, the other dress just looks blah on you to me.

    If you are going for elegant you have to choose the Allure, hands down.  It will look amazing on you when properly fitted.

    There are a lot of words to describe the Mori Lee, but I don't think anyone would say it's elegant.  
  • I love the Allure. I think the Mori Lee does nothing for your figure, but the Allure looks stunning!

  • Thanks everyone!!! I think I realized that since I'm not 100% crazy about either one, maybe I just haven't found "the one" yet.... back to shopping..... !
  • Here's the dress I ended up going with!!!!! It's Anna Maier-Ulla Maija Couture, found it at an awesome price at a sample sale!
