Thanks ladies! I love the top of the Jayne Lewis but I agree that the ruffles look skimpy. I love the fullness of the Miri at the bottom and how many ruffles there are! Any suggestions then on how to make the bottom ofthe Jayne Lewis fuller or to add more ruffles?

The Jayne Lewis might not be as full because its a sample so its not new, and has been tried on multiple times. If you order it, Im sure the ruffles will have more 'life' to them.
Looking at your photos, you look much more excited about the Jayne Lewis. You are standing up taller and you seem more excited. In the Maggie Sottero, you are a little hunched over and you don't seem as excited.

Maybe that would make it fuller! I will have to try that. Does the fabric look cheap at all to anybody?
I still like the Jane dress better, but it seems like you really love the Miri. If that is the dress you love it shouldn't matter what strangers on the internet think. You should buy the dress you love and if it is the Miri then congrats! No matter which dress you buy I am sure you will look gorgeous on your wedding day
Against popular opinion I'm going with the Miri, I like the bodice a lot! The Jayne Lewis looks like it's having an identity crisis - the bling band under the bust but then the country skirt? You honestly couldn't decide?? Or is something else making you second guess it?

I like the top on the Jayne dress, the bling is something that was missing on the Miri but I just wish the skirt was fuller on the Jayne. I am goin to see if I put a crinolin on under it if that helps at all? But I do see what you mean with the country skirt. I'm getting married at a golf course infront of the water too... if that helps at all. lol
Thanks ladies! I actually have eliminated these 2 dresses now and found 2 other dresses that are 150% better! I will out them in another pst as I can not choose between the 2!
Re: deleted
I voted for the Jayne Lewis. I just think it compliments you more. Good luck! HTH
I think the Jayne is much more flattering on you.
