Dress help!

So I'm stuck between two dresses.

(Edited to add links to dresses. Click on dress names!)

I love this Justin Alexander:



I would get it tea length and maybe change the top to sweetheart..maybe...

Then my other option is this Cinderella dress from Alfred Angelo:


This would have to be cut to tea length and I would probably add a belt. This one is cheaper but hemming it up to a tea length may be costly. Plus this one has a glitter skirt. I love glitter. My FI hates glitter. Hates it. It is a joke how much I love glitter and everyone is always saying poor rob his life is just glitter now. So I would kind of feel bad wearing a dress covered in glitter when he hates it so much...plus it kinda reminds me of prom. Even though I did not wear a dress covered in glitter or poofy like these two are...

I really love the first one, but the second one seems more me...What do you guys think?

Re: Dress help!

  • These wer both in my top dress choices!  In real life I liked the Justin Alexander better, the tulle seemed softer and I was obsessed with it in Tea length but so much in full lengthe and I wanted a full lenght,

    I vote for the JA but really you can't go wrong with either!!

  • I voted for the Justin Alexander because I think it will just look GORGEOUS with the alterations you want!

  • I desperately wanted the J. Alexander!!! But I didn't end up going with it and sometimes I wish I had :( I think it would look gorgeous with a sweetheart neckline and the nice thing is that it already comes in a shorter skirt. LOVE!!!
  • I really love the JA dresses too but out of those two, I prefer the Angelo. They are both stunning :)

  • I vote for the Justin Alexander too.  I tried the Cinderella dress on and the tulle was kind of sticky because of the gitter on it.  You can't go wrong either way, they're both beautiful dresses!

  • They are both beautiful but I voted for the Cinderella gown b/c it sounds like you think that one fits your personality better and you should go with what represents you the best.
  • I LOVE the second dress... and I am sure that your FI will get over his glitter aversion when he seems how gorgeous and how happy you are in the dress
  • I vote for the Justin Alexander!  I am partial though, because I bought a JA dress!

  • I voted for JA because it's already tea length and doesn't have the glitter on it.  It's not about the fiance/glitter dispute, but because the skirt will be a lot less soft.  Also, I just like that one a lot more anyway :0)

  • I prefer the Alfred Angelo dress, but I think the Justin Alexander would be a better choice because you don't know how the skirt of the AA dress will hang when cut short.  It may not hang correctly or be as full as you want it to.

  • I voted for the JA dress because I think it's stunning, and if it already comes in tea length then you won't have any problems with alterations/it not turning out how you want. 

    That said, I don't think you should let FI's dislike of glitter dictate your ultimate decision. You should go with the dress that you love and makes you feel pretty/confident/bridal, etc. He will think you're gorgeous no matter what.

  • I really love both dresses but I would go with #1.

  • The second dress is the dress I bought! When I tried it on at the Alfred Angelo store they told me the skirt also comes without the glitter. They never have that one in the store but you may want to inquire about it.
