So, I thought I knew which dress was THE ONE, but now I've found another I love!  I'd love some opinions girls!  Here are my two options...

Alfred Angelo Cinderella... so hard to see in the pics, but the top layer of tulle is covered in glitter... so cute!

  


OR

Mori Lee










sorry for so many pics, but I wanted to show some of the pretty details on this one... AND it fits me off the rack and is less than half the price of the afred angelo!  I need honest opinions girls... which looks better.  And please pardon my facial expressions, I was trying to corral a very excited 4 year old while I tried these on :)

    If you want to see larger pics without clicking on each one individually, you can click on my bio.  If I could combine the top of the Mori Lee with the bottom of the Alfred Angelo, I think this would be my PERFECT dress!

    mori slims you.  The alfred gives you huge looking hips and makes you look like a football player.

    Both are pretty on you and will look better if you get them altered. I voted for which one I prefer, but think about what you imagined about your wedding, being a princess bride or being a tradional bride.

    I guess I'm the odd one out here but I really like the Alfred.  I think the silhouette works well on you and the top is just gorgeous with the sweetheard neckline.   It's simple but still has a bit of pretty sparkle. The Mori looks a bit cheap, in my opinion, and it also looks like 1,000 other dresses I've seen.  The beading and fabric just don't look of high quality to me, and I don't like how the neckline is.  Between the beading and the rouching and the pick-ups, it's just too much all at once and not done well.

    I know picking the dress is tough, I had huge problems choosing mine.  Good luck!

    Personally I like the way the Mori looks on you. I agree with MeganBM,the Alfred sorta gives you a "thicker" football player took, and you dont loose any Style with the Mori.

    okay well thats just plain snarky. she obviously likes the dress so that rude response was uncalled for. you could have stopped with your first statement.

    Thanks for all of the opinions, girls!

    And, yes, steeser, I was a little thrown off by the first response, but it's all right.  I've got thick skin... lol

    It wasn't meant to be rude- she asked for opinions and she got them.  Im sure she would rather hear it on here than hear it from the entire wedding.  We're honest!  She would wonder why people arnt saying alfred and still be questioning.  If you dont like people's answers, dont post.

    its not that i dont like answers, i dont like rude people. and i seriously doubt that guests at her wedding are going to go up to her and tell her that her dress makes her look like a linebacker. get real.<strong> most</strong> people have more class than that, except you clearly.

    Meganbm, I agree with the above, and aside from that, I don't know what linebackers you are looking at, because she's tiny, and if you've tried on dresses before you would know that the ones in the store aren't the actual one you would be wearing so the fit is probably off as well.  People would clearly know that it was the cut of the dress because it's the ballgownish style of it, not her hips.  You could've found a more effective way of stating your opinion without telling her she looked big.  There's a difference between honest and just plain rude for no reason.
