Ok ladies, I'm really narrowing it down here, so I'd love to get some feedback on these two VERY different dresses. One is totally me and everything I wanted: edgy, different, unique, detailed. The other is everything I thought I didn't want: simple form-fitting, minimalist, low key, but does look great on me. But that could also be because the sample fit me like a glove, and I don't want to base any decisions on fit since dresses always look great when they fit you perfectly, and in the end ,whatever dress I chose will fit me perfectly. So here they are, both with me in 'em: Dress #1: [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3535/3897259166_4166de6037.jpg[/img] Another shot of dress #1: [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3516/3896479833_77915f9016.jpge[/img] Dress #2: [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2466/3896479125_a36bb7d363.jpg[/img]

I like #2.   I think it's more flattering on you.

I love #2.

They are both gorgeous. I like #1s neckline.

OMG these are BOTH so gorgeous!! Who makes them?? I can't really decide which it best. Yes 2 looks great but I think 1 will look great if it were a little smaller... I think 1 is a little more formal, 2 a little less formal...where are you getting married? Wow, I really LOVE those. I'm going to save these for my wanna try on list

I LOVE #1, who makes that dress, it's amazing and I think it looks great! #2 is also great though, I like the back...I don't think you can go wrong with either!

Dress #1 is Jim Hjelm #8912, and dress #2 is Melissa Sweet Eze

I like number 2. I wouldn't say it's low-key. It's definitely simpler, but stunning. You look great in both.

NUMBER ONE!!! I feel very strongly about this

I love number 1, but both look lovely!

#1, it's crazy good. I haven't seen anyone wear something like it at any wedding (I've been to a lot!). I can only imagine the detail following all the way down to the bottom. LOVELY!

I absolutely love #1. #2 is pretty but not as special IMO.

They are both amazing.  How will you ever decide?  Good luck.

They are both beautiful dresses but Number #1 is definably more unique and special...there is a whole really cool look that goes along with that dress.. I picture it with really soft florals and maybe some 50's style hair and makeup. Beautiful. I would defiantly go with number ONE!!!

I love #1. I don't like what #2 is doing with the swag of fabric on your hip/butt area.

I like number 1.  I don't like the flowers on the front from #2

I love #1...#2 doesn't do it for me, the back is pretty but like PP I don't like the flowers on the front.

I really like both dresses.  I just love the details on #1, and the fabric looks amazing.  Dress # 2 looks perfect on your body, it is simple, but I don't think "too simple".On a side note, I tried on dress #2, but it made my hips and belly look wider - not what I am going for, haha.  But it looks amazing on you.  I'm assuming that's the dress that fit you like a glove and can see how it is a hard decision.

I like #1 a lot better.

I LOVE #1, although #2 is gorgeous too.

My vote definitely goes to #2, but if you feel that strongly about #1 then don't even second guess yourself! Get what you love! Good luck!

I absolutely love #1 on you, I think that it looks amazing and is super flattering! I personally am not a fan of #2 at all. To be completely honest, I think that the flower is a little floppy in the front and in the picture you posted there is something about the fabric draping that makes you look wider than you are You are tiny and #1 shows that off, while still being unique and modern! Good luck

I like them both...the detail on 1 is amazing, but I like the way number 2 fits you. Of course, might be the sample size...tough choice. Think I have to go with number 2. (My fiance just stepped into the room and says he likes number 1) just thought I'd let you know

I like #2. I tried on #1 as well. It is pretty, but I felt it was just another A-line dress with a sash. #2, with the empire line and draping, makes it look modern and fresh, to me.

I think they are both very different.  I actually chased down #1 when it came out this year and tried it on.  I think that #2 fits you beautifully. This is not because of sample vs. dress being to big.  I would go with that (I don't think that it is plain).  The silhouette gives you more of an hourglass shape in #2. (in a great way).  Ultimately they are both very pretty dresses and you should go with what you love on you, not what you thought you would love on you

I LOVE the detail in dress #1. But, the cut and shape of dress #2 looks absolutely amazing on you and it's very pretty.

I had a feeling number 2 was a PoB line and then I saw you confirm it as I scrolled down. No wonder why I prefer #2 - I love Melissa Sweet!I think the Melissa Sweet still gives you room to make it a more modern look - it's classically beautiful but you can accessorize to punch it up a bit. Plus, the detail and sweep on the front is very pretty and unique in itself.

Thank you so much for all the feedback! Obviously there are differing opinions here, but it seems like the consensus leans toward #1. I think #2 would be perfect for a smaller, less formal beach wedding. (Although I am getting married on a boat, but the reception will be formal, evening, 200 people, etc.).And steffenfam, so funny you said that - I totally agree that the sash needs to be longer. I'm going to a JH trunk show this weekend and that's one of the changes I am hoping they can make, along with buttons down the back. So I guess my only reservations are these: 1. It's about twice the price of dress #12. While it looks nice on me, it doesn't show off my figure much, and hey, I might not have it much longer. 3. My mom is not crazy about it. But who knows, maybe she will like it more this weekend when I try it on again. Thanks again!
