September 2012 Weddings

Shoot me...I tried on another dress...

So I put a small deposit on my dress on Monday. Very small, it's a number that I'd be comfortable sacrificing if I found a dress that was more perfect. Now, I'm so confused. I love them both and can't figure out which I'm leaning towards more. I'm going to sleep on it and give it a couple of days before making any decision, but I want to hear what you guys have to say! Be honest, even if that means brutal! :o)

Here are pictures of the dress I chose:

  • I like the first one better! The second one is gorgeous, but the first one is more my style. They both look great on you so whatever you chose I'm sure will be awesome! Let us know what you decide!

  • I like the first one better. I feel like it is more flattering and classic. If you go with the second one I say no crinoline it looks like you are standing on a pedestal.

  • Hitting up all the boards I see!  Haha ;)  We can all tell you what we think but ultimately it's up to you and what you want to wear on this day.  
  • I personally like the first one better, both the style of the dress and how it fits on you!
  • First one for sure, it's beautiful! And you look absolutely amazing in it! 

    I think the second one has an awkward shape, especially with the crinoline.  I also don't like how the front only has the pickups in the middle of the skirt without anything going on at the bottom. 

    Best of luck with your decision, you're so cute I think you'll look good in everything, lol!

    Agreed.
  • The first one is beautiful and very flattering on you. If you do go with the second, I agree with PPs and don't wear crinoline it looks awkward.
  • DEFINITELY dress #1. The second one is just meh, and IMO it looks terrible with the crinoline. The first dress looks amazing on you.

  • I really prefer dress #1.  I think it's incredibly flattering on you.  I think you should stick with your gut and go with the first dress, but you will look lovely no matter what.

  • I like the first one, but will you be able to dance in it? I like the mermaid look (sorry if that's not the right name for it) but the only thing that I would keep in mind is that weight and that dress do not go well together! So I normally don't encourage brides to make there bodies fit the dress (instead, make the dress fit your body) but in this case the dress looks amazing on you right now, so just make sure you don't stress eat while planning the wedding! (Please, please don't take that the wrong way, if you keep the exact same weight that you are right now, there won't be any problems! It would just suck to have a hard time with the dress right before the wedding.)

    On a slightly more funny note, my FI went through bridal magazines with me and pointed to all of the dresses that he liked, I had already been to David's Bridal to try on the dresses that I liked and had another appointment where I was going to try on some of his favorite styles and compare them to mine (along with my seamstress, who is really the one making my dress and my FMIL)... I handed the catlog to the sales lady with all of the pictures marked that he circled, when she turned to a dress like yours, I said "I don't think that dress is suppose to go on plus size brides..." she very politically responded "Just tell him it's out of your budget." Seamstress and FMIL were sitting there shaking there heads, saying "What's wrong with Nick?"
  • Why are you trying on more dresses lady??? lol
    I too think the first is best, but it's all your decision! Just don't torment yourself anymore okie dokie?

    <div>Ditto #1. I don't like the second one at all. And especially not with the crinoline! lol</div>
  • I have to be honest... my dress is your #2 dress (Ariel) and the bottom of the one that I tried on looks entirely different (without the crinoline I mean)! If you really like the dress #2, you may want to try it on at a different place, Im wondering if that was a dress that someone had altered or something? It just looks...different.From both the one I tried on and the picture online. I also vote #1... but good luck deciding!! Youre going to look great in whatever dress you choose.

  • I vote #1 even though dress #2 was a game changer in my dress department.

    I really don't like the way #2 looks with the crinoline under it.
  • I already voted on the other board, but I am still choosing dress 1 :)
