    I tried on my dress and didn't love it. Actually, I wasn't even really excited about it. I am debating just keeping it an wearing it or buying a new dress. Which one do you guys like better - first or second??

    I like the idea of the first dress more than I actually like the dress, if that makes sense. So I guess I'd have to vote for number two although I kind of want there to be something more going on with the skirt. I think I'd have to see it on a real non-model person.

    I wish we could see them on you... but going by the model pictures, my vote is for the second one.

    HEY! does the second one have pockets?

    I think I understand what Kittyachi means.  I really like the lace in the skirt, but the satin-y overskirt takes away from it.  I REALLY like the second dress.

    Oooh... I'm going to go against the crowd here and say I love dress #1! I think the shape is just so much more flattering- but then again, its a personal style decision :)

    I'm in the minority, but I like #1 better!

    I'm infatuated with lace wedding dresses.. so classy and timeless.

    They are both beautiful but I'm going to go against the majority also and say 1.

    It's hard to say without seeing them on you though!

    I'm going with #1 as well, how unique and gorgeous!  But without seeing them on someone, it's almost impossible to judge really...lets see some pics and let the judging begin!

    I agree with Kitty..I like the ideas going on with the first dres..but I'm not a lace girl at all. I feel that the second is best, but seems to be missing something.

    Truly it will depend on how the dress looks on you as well as the quality.  When you have this type of detail on a gown (#1), it has to be quality materials and craftsmanship as well as the personal attitude to carry it off.  The second dress is beautiful and classic as noted before by other users, just not as drop-waist as the first one, thus it is more figure flattering to a variety of figures.  Go with your gut on this one, you are the one wearing the dress and the one who will be looking at the pictures for the rest of your life, if they are as beautiful as the pictures and it looks just as great on you, it doesn't really matter what we think, you will look beautiful in both.  :-)!  I hope this helps!

    The second dress is more classic and less trendy.

    I already bought dress #1 but when I put it on when it came in....I just wasn't very excited about it. It is a beautiful dress but I jus't don't get that feeling of being excited to put it on my wedding day and excited for my FI to see me in it. I tried on #2 the other night and loved it! I love how it looks very classic.

    They're both nice, but without seeing you in them, I prefer the second one.  Pronovias gowns are so pretty.

    I love them both, but I would pick number 2 because it is more traditional/classic :)

    I think they each have their own look and could go with different themes for a wedding.  I like #2 because it is so classic and elegant.

    i'm partial to the second dress because it looks exactly like my dress on top and i love it! :-) i felt like grace kelly with that style.
