Cannot Decide - please help! :-)

Drangeta191 · July 2010

Hello all! This is my first post and I really need everyones help! I went to David's Bridal last week and tried on almost 20 dresses. I am split between two and I wouldn't be so anxious if one of them was being discontinued soon. Can everyone please give me opinions on which they like better. I'm getting married in the summer and my color is green. Thanks so much!

I like #1 best!

[QUOTE]From the back, the first one looks flattering on your body. Do you have a shot of yourself in that dress from the front? Not a fan of the second one.

Yeah these were my thoughts exactly. And the front of the other one is NMS, sorry.

I like #1 the best. I don't think that the 2nd one's neckline is very flattering.

opalsky007 · July 2010

#1, by a long shot.

#2 is interesting, but it really doesn't do you any favors, which is a shame, because you've got a nice little figure. The fact the dress is too big probably doesn't help, but I'm not even sure that it would be much better in the proper size.

I'm the oddball, but I think the second one is the winner! You just seem to work it and it looks like you feel great in it!

I vote numero dos

loop0406 · July 2010

I like # 2

Number 1 looks a bit.....much

Ditto.

NOLAbrideinDC · July 2010

No. 1 for sure! i love it!

LoriAH11 · July 2010

I think it really boils down to whichever you are more comfortable in. I actually think the top part of number 2 flatters you well, it was made for someone with a small frame like yourself, it is the bottom half of it I'm not sure I'm crazy about. I think you should take into consideration if your wedding is outdoors or not, which one is lighter and airier. If it is indoors the whole time you're good to go either way. Did you walk around in it? If not go back put them back on (don't put on any others to confuse yourself!) and walk around the store in it in the type of shoes you think you'll wear (bring your own, I don't think DB let's you wear theirs around the store). Do you feel comfortabe in it? Do you think you're going to be tripping or feel like you're going to be carrying around too much even with it bustled.

Side note, I noticed in your picture that I guess all DB's have those terrible fake leather green couches! I hope the one in your store is not as torn about and dirty as it is in the one where I live. Time for a design update inside DB!!

skyler1108 · July 2010

They both look beautiful but i think number one seems more of a summer dress to me.

unplainjane · July 2010

in terms of the style i like the second one the best. i find the skirt too busy on the first one. i think for the 2nd one if you have it fitted correctly it'll be stunning and very modern. but they are both really nice. go with the one you feel best in.

amitrenti · July 2010

I like the first one. It will surprise your guests and everyone will stare at you. And the second one has that yucky material and you can tell. Plus you're skinny and the first one shows you off better. Go for #1

GreCole · July 2010

they're both great but number 1 is REALLY GREAT!

You'll look great in either but my vote is for number 1!

chelley599 · July 2010

Definitely number 1...

schwoebr · July 2010

number 1 for sure!!!!!

Drangeta191 · July 2010

Thanks everyone...you are all so nice and helpful!

I just made an appointment to go back to DB to try the first one on again...I have been leaning towards this one the whole time (I think!) and just love it. It's fun and more me.
I'm starting to really like it here, this may become a daily place for me to be. I'll post pictures once I get some from the front.

KlassyWithaK · July 2010

I think you can pull off #1 without it overpowering you. The second dress looks nice on you but it looks like there's something missing that the first dress has.

midge6916 · July 2010

I love number one and think that it is breezy like the summer time.
Although I love the neckline of the 2nd dress, I think the back isn't as flattering and it isn't as "sweet" looking.

I bought my dress from David's after trying on almost every style in the store. It finally came down to me loving a dress and them telling me that it was a limited edition and not available after that month. It made my decision so much easier and I didn't have time to second guess myself.

No matter what you wear, you are going to be a beautiful bride and I think the green of your bridesmaids dresses will go well with your hair and skin tone.

intherough · July 2010

are you going to try and bustle all of that dress?? I can only imagine.... But I think #1 suits you.

yani.christian · July 2010

LOVE #1!!!
good luck

Knittibell · July 2010

Totally agree with PP's- the first dress looks great on your body, the second dress, while very pretty makes you look sort of wide and frumpy. You are neither of those things, so I'd go with #1.

SuMmErKuTiE · July 2010

Jumping on the band wagon and saying #1 hands down.
