Help me choose a dress...

alyssalowe · May 2010

Ok lil about me, I'm 5'4'' and chesty (like a d cup) not a skinny girl. Ive been working out and loosing weight no matter what I loose I never seem to loose from my chest but my tummy gets smaller and lol evenutally flat. ANYWAYS.. knowing that I'm stuck on which dress to get. I love them both and I know that they both fit my body type.. They are not mermaid, the girl standing funny makes it seem that way...

The one without sleeves comes with a matching jacket that the cost of makes the dresses the exact same price.. so its just what is liked better, With shipping btw- these are both under $200. Which feels more vintage to you?

Dress one.

Dress 2

Hmmm. i think dress two, although both are very pretty.

Truthfully, no matter how well a strapless dress fits, you will feel more "secure" in one that has straps. I think it looks more vintage also.

oo i love the 1st one!

I think you can't go wrong with either of them!

Dress 2 for sure. It looks similar to my dress and I'm 5"5 and also a D cup. I hate strapless shirts, dresses, etc anyway but considering my chest size I would probably feel uncomfortable in a strapless wedding gown. It's your personal preference but I think the second dress is much more beautiful and vintage.

Thank you ladies... its such a hard decision.. Ive asked some famale friends and I get mixed votes with them too.. DARN. lol Im leaning towards the straps.. My only thought is maybe the straps would end up makeing me look larger... ? idk thats the downfall of ordering on ebay.

They are both beautiful but I am leaning toward dress #2!

Plus dress two for $186 includes shipping and the veil pictured... hmmm. I think its gunna be the choice as I sit here more and keep thinking about i.

the back of dress two completely sold me, its amazing, but both are gorgeous

I looooove the first one. Maybe I'm just bias bc it looks a lot like mine. I think you will look beautiful in either.

Both of them are beautiful,but I'm gonna chose the #2 because it looks vintage

hmmsarcasm · May 2010

as everyone said both are gorgeous but i think number two will hold in the girls a bit better than the strapless would--i don't have a big chest at all (sigh) and even still I worry that my girls may fall out with a strapless.

let us know which one you pick!

Def. #2. I think the strapless one would emphasize your chest/shoulder area more, whereas the V neck on #2 will make that area look longer and draw the eye up to your face.

I watch a lot of What Not to Wear.

Just a random question...did you find the second dress online and if so do you mine including the web addres? I'm absolutely in LOVE with it!!

Nukke · May 2010

I just thought I'd add--if you want to "minimize" how your chest looks, v-neck is always the way to go. So in that case, the strappy one would make your chest look the smallest. I HTH!

It helps alot ladies thank you. I chose dress number two!!! I'm ordering it in a few weeks cuz I need to hit up an alterations lady so I know the numbers for the order are exact and not me guessing. Its a custom order dress. Here are the links let me know if they dont work.. If they dont then on Ebay search the words lace wedding dress its hows I found these. The first dress has TONS of listings in the 120-140 range (custom to instock varies), they quoted a matching jacket could be made for 40 bucks and thats why I condsidered the two dresses nearl the same price.. Hope that helps..

I like dress #2 better. Its a gorgeous dress and will provide the support your chest is going to need.

Lisa50 · May 2010

Dress 2 will offer more support for the Ds. And sometimes, strapless dresses are altered to fit a little too tightly across the bustline, creating a "spillover" effect, which could easily happen with dress 1.

Good luck with your decision. Both are quite lovely!
