Rehearsal Dinner Dress

nicolegreen1207

I have tried, bought, and returned so many rehearsal dinner dresses at this point that I've lost count! This weekend I found two dresses that I liked at J.C. Penney's and both were on sale for $30! Great deal! Anyway....I couldn't decide which one I liked the best so I bought both and figured I could let you lovely ladies help me decide. I can't keep both, so one WILL be going back. Please forgive the awkward posing...I really just wanted to get a good pic of the dresses!

Dress # 2

Dress # 2 again...this time no slouching and in motion (my mom was having issues working the camera and I was swooping in to help :P)

Out of these two I like th second dress the best

I like the second a lot.  The first is cute, but the placement of the little "bursts" is strange to me.

The second dress is more flattering (i agree the placement of the pattern on the 1st dress is awkward) but the print is really busy, maybe its cuz your headless and all, but the dress seems to wear you, its a bit overwhelming.

The bursts on the first one do look odd in terms of placement... second one has a better pattern and is more flattering

The second dress is a lot more slimming. It has a much better pattern too.

I like #1 better, it just looks better on you.  I think both patterns are a little off-putting, just my opinion.  For some reason, I think you could find something better - but, you've been looking, so you'd of course no better.  FWIW, I voted for #1.

Thanks ladies for all of your opinions! I really appreciate them...positive and negative. I think I'm going to return dress 1...but knowing me I'll probably still keep looking anyways. :P LOL
