torn between 2 dresses.... again

Hi all!

I was torn between 2 j crew dresses on my last post and I wanted to thank everyone for the replies.  I have decided to forgo both of those dresses and now am torn between 2 other ones :P  This will be the final decision!

Thoughts?

  •  I think number one fits you like a glove. I don't really care for the shape of number two, it seems to swallow you up. At the end of the day, go with what you love.

  • Number 1 is super flattering to you. I feel like number 2 kind of hides your figure. 
  • Number 1 without at doubt!!!! I agree with the above posters that it flatters your figure better, and that the second dress seems to wear you more than the other way around. Also, while I know no matter what we wear we'll eventually look dated, I think the second dress is much more "trendy" and will look dated a lot faster. Number 1 is incredibly stunning. Seriously.
  • number 1--gorgeous
  • I prefer A-line dresses to fitted ones, but the flower shapes on the second one are just strange to me (no offense).  That's why I voted for number 1.

    But you really need to go with what you feel best in!  Everyone's taste is different.

  • By far number 1. It's so romantic and sexy without shouting SEX! It's just gorgeous.. The second one says "young girl loving a fad" to me, and I just don't think that waist-line is that flattering.

    The first dress is so classic and timeless...not to mention how flattering it is (like pp's have mentioned).

    Seriously, it is awesome.

  • I am going to go against the curve and say dress number 2.  I don't think it overwhelms you at all and I love the skirt.  I also think the top of #2 is more flattering with the deeper sweetheart then dress #1.

    But you really can't go wrong with either dress.

  • I agree with Maggie on the neckline of dress # 2, and I actually don't think it's any less flattering.  You have a great shape and small waist, and it shows in both dresses.  I think people always tend to think that fitted is more flattering, but I don't think so.  If it weren't for the flower shapes, I would think #2 was a really beautiful dress.

  • wow, number 1 is just gorgeous!!  I really like how unique and different #2 is, but as PPs have said, it seems to swallow you up.
  • I vote for the 1st dress. The second dress looks quite stiff while the first dress is VERY flattering on you

  • I feel like number 1 is the kind of dress in 20 or 40 or 60 years you won't look back and think "what was i thinking" whereas there's a possibility of that with the flowery one.

    I think elegant classic and timeless are always the best choices :)
  • 1 for sure, your body rocks it. 2 seems more for someone who has a tummy and trying to hide it.
  • I love the simplicty and beauty of #1, such a gorgeous gown! it looks amazing on you

  • I think #1 fits the best and would need less alteration, meaning less chance of something going wrong in the alteration dept and no way to fix it close to the end! Its sexy but not over the top, and classic without being boring. The fabric would photograph well, and I think the style could work with almost any theme.

    #2 is lovely and it looks great on you, but it really depends on your theme and what you are going for. Plus I think #1 is so gorgeous that it blows #2 out of the water. The silhouette isn't as flattering.

  • I think its appearnt #2 is too big, hence the skirts extra fullness.BUT I was personally in the same delimma with dress style! I went with a fit and flare. BUT I love the floraly dress on you! and when its in your size (assuming, it is too big) the skirt would be super pretty and maybe a thin blingy belt? to bring focus on your tiny waist! good luck!
  • My vote goes to #1. It looks so classy and elegant!

  • I feel like number two doesn't have a long enough waist for you, and is cutting off too soon to be fully flattering.

  • I vote for #1... You have a georgeous body, show it off!! #2 is really fun, I see why you like it. Maybe for the reception or late night?

  • two completely  different look/style. 
    Deoends what you are going for.....
    Number 1 does wonders for your figure - but I feel like you've seen it before
    Number 2 - fun & youthful however not as nice on your figure
  • Thank you all for your input!  I have decided to go with the first one! It fits better and is a lot more comfortable than the second.  I'm soo excited! 
  • I love number 2 just because its really different and it looks like a fun dress to party in :D
