Maggie Sottero Jovi or Melissa Brooch?

Awhile back I asked for help deciding between 2 dresses (Maggie Sottero Melissa Brooch and Enzoani Brigham).Well now I found another Maggie dress I really liked - Jovi - and its the one my mom and bridesmaids liked the best out of all of them! But the sample was 2 sizes too small so its hard to tell what it would really look like on my body in the right size.I would really appreciate some honest feedback about which dress looks better on me (Melissa brooch or Jovi)!PIBThanks!

Re: Maggie Sottero Jovi or Melissa Brooch?

  • I actually prefer the Melissa better on you, I think the ruching detail on the bodice is very flattering and I think the fabric is more flattering as well on you. I've tried both on and they are both gorgeous so you can't go wrong either way
  • I have to say, I love both dresses, but I think the Jovi looks better on you even in the wrong size. Something about the sweetheart neckline and how it flares out more. You're rockin' that dress. I vote for Jovi!
  • Jovi!! I was between the exact same dresses when making my decision and I went with Jovi after the first time I tried it on!! I LOVE this dress.

  • Sure - its www.mywedding.com/sunnycanadianplanningDo you ladies think Jovi will "go" with my wedding colors? I don't know if its too fancy...

  • Jovi is beautiful, it was one of my top three picks for a dress... Yeah, definitely Jovi in a bigger size.
  • the Jovi is more my personal style because it has more detail, which I really love about Maggies.  However, I think you look beautiful in both dresses.  The styles are similar, so I'm sure the Jovi will look fine in your size.  The Jovi is definitely one of the most popular Maggie bride dresses, so I'm sure you'd be happy with it.

  • I like Jovi on you the best (of course, I AM biased!)...the Melissa Brooch looks great as well, but in my opinion, the Jovi looks the best on you.
  • bridebelovely - The Melissa Brooch in pictures 1-3 is IvoryIn picture 4 the dress is white (I tried it on at 2 different stores).I'm trying to decide as well which color I'll go with (in either dress)! I know I'll be more tanned at my wedding so I'm leaning towards white but I love the "creaminess" of the ivory color.

  • Hi, Was the Melissa Brooch quite different in white? This is my dress, and I'm currently trying to choose whether to go for white or ivory, only I have never seen the dress in white. My Bridesmaids will be wearing raspberry pink, and H2B is going to wear a blue 3 piece suit with white/ivory cravat and tie. I'm then worried about what to put the rest of the groomsmen in, as dont want them in same as H2B but not sure if Ivory and Raspberry pink will go.Going for a white dress would solve my problems but am worried that the dress loses its softness in white, and would look quite different. Do you have any photos of you in the white dress from the front I could see?Thanks so much!!

  • Thanks so much for posting those photos Sunny! How are you coming along with your decision?
  • I def. like the Melissa Brooch better. Not only because it's my dress as well ;), but I think it's much more flattering on you. Good luck!
