Help Between these Two dresses

dragonavicious

I like both of these but I'm not sure which one I like better. They are both similar in appearance but I was wondering what everyone else thought. Both are just a bit big on me but will look better once fitted.

At first glance I thought the pictures were of the same dress.  I think I like the second one a bit more then the first though I really can't put my finger as to why.  Maybe it is because of the softer looking lace.

I know, isn't that weird? When I was looking at the pictures I asked my sister why she didn't take one of the other dress. They have a really similar silhouette. One has more beading and thicker lace. The other one is definitely more subtle. It's also satin and lighter, while the other is more structured.

They are both beautiful on you, but I'm also leaning towards the 2nd one! I think it also depends on what type of wedding you're wanting too...are you going the more traditional route?

I prefer the second dress.  It has lace that I think is prettier, and the straps are more bridal and less lingerie looking to me, if that makes sense.  The train is also really pretty.

I prefer the first dress, but they're both beautiful.

I vote #2. 

dragonavicious

I'm going for ethereal type of wedding with lots of flowers and greenery. 

AshleyProclaims

hmmmm, sounds amazing...now I'm leaning towards #1 for that vision...

I can't say why, but I'm preferring the first one? Maybe it seems...softer...to me? I'm not sure! They both look great!

I think both will work. I'd be going for number 2 personally, but I think 1 gives you more of an ethereal vibe. 2 looks a little more traditional to me.

My vote is for #2, however they are both beautiful.

I also thought these were the same dress at first look! For the vibe you're going for, I prefer the second. You look beautiful in both.

dragonavicious

So funny, my friends and family were split down the middle too. Maybe I'll just see if I can try them on again and decide. 

emmaaa

Maybe toss a coin? Haha.

manateehugger

Good news is, I don't think you can go wrong!

Maggie0829

Are you planning on wearing a veil?  If so, try a veil on with them as well and that may help you really decide which is "the one."

Ndelible

They are both gorgeous gowns, but I prefer the second. I like the lace on it a bit more. The suggestion to try them both with a veil is a good one. Good luck!

#2 is more flattering and kind of flows with your body more, if that makes sense.

jenijoyk

They are both beautiful! I think I like the neckline on the second one though... the first one has very straight lines at the neck, while the second one is a little softer.

I really like the second one!

jenna8984

Super similar to mine but they look better on you since your rack actually fills it and mine doesn't hahaha. But I vote #2!! 

RebeccaFlower

I think both are lovely, but I'd go with #2. 

dragonavicious

@jenna8984 Haha, that's the first  time anyone has said that to me. I'm a C in a family of women blessed with DD. 

Thanks again for all the votes. I am wearing a lace edged mantilla veil, if that affects anyones votes. It sucks because I want to ask my fiance's opinion but I know  he wouldn't want to see it yet anyway.

#1 is softer and more flattering to me. It looks more expensive than #2.

dragonavicious

They are actually both almost exactly the same price, which is frustrating. If one was cheaper then that would decide for me.

bethsmiles

They are both beautiful. I think the first one is a little more flattering than the second.

Is it just a shadow or does the second one have some sheerness to the midsection--almost like a band?  I really don't like the dresses that are sheer on the bodice.  They read lingerie to me, and when it's as sheer as some, like Pnina dresses, I think it looks slutty.  Yours isn't at all like a Pnina, but if it is sheer in the midsection, I'd either line it really well or go with the first.

I actually think the first looks more hollywood glamour, and the second looks more romantic ethereal. They're both lovely.

Alikat9614

Holy gorgeous gowns, Batman! They both like amazing, but something draws me more to #1. I like the straps and the way it shows off your waist better than the second, personally

lilacck28

ps- I find it very difficult to judge these dresses since the pictures are of you at a different angle. The first dress appears more flattering to your waist like PP have said, but I tend to think that's all about the frontal angle.
