Did you have a dress you *almost* got? Show your runner-up!

I loved this one! The train was amazing!
I did. It's this one from Jasmine.
Aw. This pic makes me miss my red hair.
I almost bought this one but I just wasn't sure about the chiffon or about the detail on the skirt/train
I got this one instead... tissue taffeta and limited bling. love love love :)
@miss chirpie- great choice!! i didn't end up liking lace on me but i LOVE lace dresses!!
Allure Couture C151
I loved her.. but I loved another more... I wish I had the budget to have gotten them both!
i got pregnant so this one I won't be able to wear! :( but I do love my new dress as well!!!!
Wow!! such beautiful dresses...how will i ever pick one
@ MissChirpie: I love love love the dress you bought and it knocks the runner up WAY down. It looks gorgeous on you!
Biggest regret of the wedding=( I was told I could convert the neckline of the one I got to look like this, and once it arrived I was told they could not. I want my runner up dress!!!!!

I almost bought the same dress as CorgiTales' second pick, (I'd post a picture, but I deleted it, so I would stop agonizing over the decision, so you'll just have to look up!) but ended up going with this, minus the hip flower, which just wasn't doing it for me:
almost bought maggie sottero coco:

but instead bought allure c157:

This is my runner up dress (minus the cap sleeves)...

here's the dress i bought

There were 3 dresses I was contemplating for a little while. I went with the one which made my heart do little flips when I thought about it, even though I've never tried it on. The first two pics were taken by my FMIL. She has a talent for unappealing angels and missed moments when it comes to her photo skills. ;p
Here is my runner up dress number 1:

Runner up dress number 2 (the best of a butt load of crappy pics FMIL took):

And finally, the dress I have plaster all over the Bee due to my deep love of it (but which is still in the process of being made!):

I was enchanted with pictures of a dress with pockets (the Galina on top) until I saw my Davinci 8373 gown hanging in a shop. It made my heart go pitter pat, so I decided that was a sign!
This is the one I almost got....Maggie Sottero Ruby


This is the one I chose! Maggie Sottero Ericka
@blondeebuckeye- both dresses look great on you but WOW the one you picked!! I love the fabric with the flowers and your waist looks teeny tiny!
The dress I bought is first...the prononovias Hamlet..
What I think would have been my runner up...without the cap sleeves
Lauren810c that 2nd choice dress is so sweet. Who's it by?
It's really interesting to see if people's first and second choices were really similar or completely different.
Here is my runner-up:

And here's the dress I bought:

@CorgiTales: thanks! i saw the dress the second i walked into the salon and then i practically ripped it off the mannequin :) i knew it was MY dress! i wasn't expecting to get a "ballgown" type dress, but i fell in love!
I almost bought this one from Davids Bridal.
Until I was finally able to track down, try on and fall in love with this one from Alfred Angelo.
@bmore: we have the same wedding date and your #1 would have been mine but I couldn't afford it and my fiance hated it. I loved it and never wanted to take it off. Enjoy it for me!
This was my second choice. I still love it, but it was a lot of boob for church.

This was my runner up.
It has a corset back which i loved.
FI went to look at dresses with me. He said it this one was very pretty.

but then i came out with this one and he was speechless.

After a week or so i went back to but this one.
@lauren810c: that second dress is the one I drooled over when I looked at magazines!
