dress

So I went shopping at All That Shimmers this weekend.  It is a cute little store.  I found a dress that I really like, but something is telling me to keep looking.  I am torn between two dresses...[IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/e8rhwn.jpg[/IMG]and[IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/30vi0ie.jpg[/IMG]The first one I love but its slightly out of my price range - especially after having the designer change the top from strapless to halter.The second is the one from this weekend and I like it, but I just didn't feel "the one".  I know not everyone feels that way, and I know I have time, but I feel like I've tried on 80 dresses so far and haven't had that feeling yet.What your thoughts?Ps. I apologize if the images are huge.  I don't know how to resize them!

    I like dress 1 as well I also love that tiny pic tries to put every image on mugs, tshirts, etc... The bumper sticker was only your chest area... (sorry but that was funny to me in an immature way!) Back to the subject dress 1 looks gorgeous but do not give up or spend more than you are comfortable with... Have you looked online?

    Both has its pros and cons, IMO.  Personally, I love the flowy material of the skirt in the first one, but on the second one I prefer the shape of it from the sash down.  I'm not too fond of the top/bodice on either, really.  I say keep looking.  You still have 2-3 more months unless you go for some designer who requires more than 9 months for ordering.

    I prefer how the waist and skirt fit you better in #2. I'd recommend sticking to an a-line. I also think it's smart to go with straps or a halter. Keep looking - you've got lots of time!

    I like dress two better, but I am with the other two keep looking. I bet you can find something that suits you better :)

    I like dress 2 better because the aline looks really good on you. I also think you should keep looking. Good luck!

    I'm a little late on here but I agree with PPs.  I like the flowy material on Dress #1 but the A line shape on Dress #2 suits you better.  Plus the material and color is beautiful.  I would hold off and keep looking  You may find something you like even better.
