Can't decide between 2 dresses!

cchen1017

After some dress shopping adventures, I'm down to 2 dresses from J crew.  The first is the J crew waterfall gown, and a favorite amongst my friends. It has more presence. 

The second is the J crew Tulipe Bustier gown. It's a sweeter look and I have been eyeing it on other brides since the beginning. The one I have on in the picture is huge so imagine it tighter when it's actually my size.

Any advice would be appreciated!

i vote for dress #1. it's elegant and beautiful on you. While I understand that the size is wrong on the second, I still think you're wearing the first dress while the second dress is wearing you. That's just my opinion though, you'll look beautiful and bridal either way!

I like the first one. I really dislike the top of the 2nd dress.

I agree with all of this.

I also agree with Addie and really dislike the top portion of the second dress, it just looks unfinished.

The first one is the better one by far.  You look great in it.  I don't care at all for the second one.

I love dress number 1. The top of dress number 2 just looks odd.

Another vote for dress 1!

same sentiment here. 1 is beautiful, the top of 2 seems strange to me

I feel the picture doesn't do number 2 justice. Here are some pictures of number 2 on people when it actually fits:

Eh, I still don't like it.  In all the pictures it looks like it is pulling their boobs down and that the dress is not up where it should be.  I guess it is just the overall shape of the bodice I don't like.

I think the bodice in the first dress suits you really well.

2 hits at a weird position on the stomach /: the belt helps, but not enough. 1 looks great

Dress #1!

Dress #1. I think dress #2 kind of minimizes the boobage - it has a bit of an odd top.

Dress #1 is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

Dress 1 for sure! The top on dress 2 makes me think of a Madonna-type corset!

another vote for numero 1!

Thank you for all of the replies!   I actually decided to forgo both and now am torn between another two dress  The is the final decision this time around!

Thoughts?
