which dress?

das710 · August 2009

1st of all...thanks you cvl105 for telling me how to do this, hopefully it works! I am trying to decide between two different dresses, which are VERY different. I thought for sure I wanted lace but then I found this other one...let me know what you think. Or, if you have any other suggestions, you can tell me that too. Thank you!!!Dress #1:http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz238/das710/1front.jpghttp://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz238/das710/1back.jpgDress #2:http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz238/das710/2front.jpghttp://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz238/das710/2back.jpg

I love the lace dress, LOVE it.

lvasilen · August 2009

I like both...I think it depends on what look you are going for...more elegant and classic or fun/whimsical/summery

cvl105 · August 2009

oh wow, talk about two completely different dresses! What kind of a venue are you getting married at? daytime/nighttime?

das710 · August 2009

The wedding is in the summer and its pretty traditional (church and reception hall.) I know, they are so different! It's drivin me nuts, they are so difficult to compare. Thank you for your quick feedback.

Although #2 is beautiful, I think it would make a better reception dress than a church dress. It's not very traditional. With that being said, however, I think you could still wear it for a church wedding if it's ultimately the one you fall in love with.

They are both so different. And both look amazing on you. I agree that it depends on what look you are going for - traditional and elegant, or modern and sexy.If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with #1, I love the lace.

mbcdefg · August 2009

I'd go with #1. I really don't like the funky rhinestones on #2. The overall shape of the dress looks great on you, but I just think the neckline looks weird and I *really* don't like the back. #1 looks a lot classier. If #2 had a different type of jeweled neckline, I'd be more on board with it.

#1!!!!!!!!!!

grace_anthony · August 2009

#2 its unique

junelley · August 2009

I like dress #1 better and also how you look in it better!

jblgti · August 2009

I think the lace ( 1st dress ) look better in you.

chasegl · August 2009

#1. I love lace. I don't know why, but #2 looks sort of like a prom dress to me.

Vikki2pay · August 2009

You're right when you say they're differnt. I would ask 1st what type of event are you having? I think that should influence you decision a little bit. I think #1 is more traditional, and #2 I think would work better for an outside summer wedding. I think #1 is more flattering on you as well.

Just Jen · August 2009

I like #1 I love the back of #2, but I'm not crazy about the detailing on the front.

MissSarah786 · August 2009

#1 - much classier. I think #2 is too revealing and not appropriate.

lilmit · August 2009

# 2 - It's different! I love unique dresses that no other bride will have anything like it. Too often I see dresses similar to # 1 in my area!(Not that it isn't a fabulous gown, it's gorgeous too!)

Moneypenny424 · August 2009

#1. Dress 2 is fun but I agree with PP--it looks like more of a reception dress...and I don't think it is really appropriate for a church.

hmschults · August 2009

I tried on dress #2!! I loved it..loved the back loved the way that the fabric felt..but ultimatly I decided not to get it because it was a bit to revealing for me. I think it would work for a destination wedding or a beach wedding..but not for a church wedding..I wish I had a fancy event to wear it too...Dress #1 looks amazing on you! It really flatters your figure so I vote two hands up for dress #1..JMO

AmoroAgain · August 2009

Honestly, I think your figure looks much better in dress 2. I understand that dress 1 is quite large, but still. It's just not right. And plain. Man is that dress plain. I think you should keep looking really. I think you can find a better compromise between those two.

jilliibabii · August 2009

Number 1, I think number 2 is more of a DW dress.

spano123 · August 2009

I like 1

kpeteley · August 2009

#1 I LOVE! Who is the designer? I am an all lace girl so I am biased, but I agree with pp about #2 looking promy-

kjane12 · August 2009

#1 definitely.

das710 · August 2009

THANK YOU EVERYONE for your opinions, it's extremely helpful.dress #1 is demetrios and dress #2 is maggie sottero.I know dress 1 is plain. I was thinking of maybe adding a sash or something under the bust line? Thank you again!!!!!!

kdimartino98 · August 2009

#1 definitely.

Laurms15 · August 2009

I agree w/ some of the PP in thinking the first one is a little more appropriate for church. You can always add on some bling to the belt maybe a great broach or something. However I DO love the back of the second dress!!! They are so different it makes a true comparison a little more difficult.

Married678 · August 2009

I'd go with #1. I like both but I think the front of #2 is ugly it makes you look flat chested in the picture. Like pp said, I'd keep looking!! I think you'll find something between the two that you'll LOVE! GL!!

a2crane · August 2009

I really love number 1!!! It is so beautiful and elegant! The other one also looks beautiful on you...tough choice. My first reaction was to say number 1 and then I saw that you are having a church wedding so I say definitely number 1!

Lindze75 · August 2009

If I have to choose I would choose #1. I love lace and I think it's really pretty. #2 is also fabulous and I have seen it and admired it in the Maggie magazine ads. It does seem too revealing for a chuch and just wouldn't work with a bolero. I think maybe you should look for a lace dress with a little bling.

I tried on some La Sposa, San Patrick and Pronovias dresses that are all lace w/a little bling. (La Sposa Frontera is the only one I can remember off hand.) Either way you will look fab!

steffenfam · August 2009

I agree with one of the pp's...to keep looking. Sorry :(I love lace dresses, but not this one. And I don't like the blingy stuff on dress #2.
