i actually like your first dress better, because i think the neater tiers are more flattering, and less distracting.
maybe you could ask around for a good tailor in your area to have it amended? there's a clean (no beads/sequins) area at the bust line, so i'm quite confident that you can have it modified. good luck!
The first dress is very sweet and pretty, and I think it would look great (better, actually) with a sweetheart neckline. It's too simple on top right now, and it's really a more interesting dress than that.
I can't share my straight-to-sweetheart story because I haven't done it yet, but am contemplating the same. But I would definitely do it in this dress if the cost is reasonable.
Not to take anything away from the dress you already have, but WOW, the second dress is AMAZING. I've never seen anything like it! And it's so flattering on you!
@Marigold...Im glad SOMEONE likes the 2nd dress! In my other post, no one really likes it :( I am contemplating getting the 2nd one and selling the 1st one...but im so torn :(
I had a sweetheart; here's mine! It came like this naturally and is a little more extreme than dress #2's sweetheart.
I'm having mine made into a sweetheart from a straight neckline. It's a VERY easy alteration, so easy they're doing it for free! I don't have pics yet because my dress isn't in...sorry. I love both dresses, I can see why you're having second thoughts!
Bothe dresses are gorgeous. I have to say the first one definitely needs the sweetgeart neckline though.
My question is: what is the style of your wedding? The first one is very sweet an dowuld fit a mellow simple outdoorsy wedding where as the other requires a more glamorous affair. If you look at it that way, which dress would better fit your over all wedding?
My dress already has a sweetheart neckline, but when I was looking at dresses, there were a few I was considering that had a straight across neckline...and every shop was confident that the seamstress could change it to a sweetheart with no problems!
my sister had her neckline changed from straight to sweetheart and it's apparently a really easy alteration! i also put my vote in for dress #1 :)
I haven't done this yet, but when I bought my dress I already knew I wanted to change the neckline from straight to sweetheart. The seamstress at the store said it would be a pretty simple fix, so I'm sure it can be done to your first dress too! I agree with mrspaetz that the neater tiers in the first one are more flattering / less distracting. But go with whichever one will make you feel best!
a good seamstress can change the gown for you to a sweetheart. and the first one looks stunning. keep it! invest the moeny you would spend on buying the otherdress, take that money and invest it in getting the one you already own that is fabulous on you, turning it into a sweetheart. it will look even more fierce on you!
I like both, but agree with the poster that asked about what type of event your having. Obviously you can do whatever you want, but I think the second works better with a more glitzy affair whereas the first one is more versatile in terms of being cohesive with the style of the wedding.
well the ceremony is in a tradional Catholic Church that my fi and i belong to...the reception is a beautiful historic building in downtown colorado springs which has been renovated into a brewery, they have a 3rd floor (top floor) banquet hall with 3 walls of huge windows! so the reception is quite laid back as it is at a brewery in a historic building, but the ceremony is a little more fancy I guess....
I did just that. One of my BMs suggested it when I tried on the dress I bought, and then a dress that followed it had a sweetheart. She said it made my boobs look better (LoL), and I agreed. She also said it added more shape. So, for $35 more I changed my neckline. I'll post pics when my dress comes in November.
=)
I prefer the bodice and neckline of the 2nd dress but, it's a little bit to fluffy at the bottom for me but, it's your dress and if you prefer that oen then wear it. :)
i think it'd be an easy fix and i totally love the idea of that first dress with a sweetheart.
I did it and am so happy with what i did. I don't think I will wear the belt with the long veil. I've had some doubts about my dress. I love simple, but have wondered if it is too simple. Just think if you change the neckline, you have maid your dress your own.
i actually love the second dress!! but i do think the neckline can be easily converted by a great seamstress...
Wow!! I really love the 2nd dress. They both look amazing on you, but the second one really catches my eye!
I LOVE the first dress. I actually looks a lot like my dress. It has a sweetheart neckline so check it out.

I loove the second dress! Very different, romantic and a little sassy! If you want to make a statement the second one would be it, not many people have the guts to go with something more unique, and you can pull of the close-fitting shape at the waist!
The first one is very pretty, and more acceptable, and traditional and would please everyone including an appropriate nod from grandma.
If you do decide to go with the second one, the first one won't be hard to sell, seeing most people like the more conservative look...
My dress has a straight neckline that the seamstress is converting into a sweetheart. By chance, during one of my earlier appointments there was another bride with the same dress there, who had also gotten it made into a sweetheart, so I got to see what the finished version looks like and it looked fab! So it can definitely be done...will try to post photos after my final fitting on Thursday.
I like the 1st dress best, but I do like the neckline on the 2nd. Since there's no beading right at the top of the 1st dress, it should be easy to convert to sweetheart. A sweetheart neckline on the 1st dress will look lovely.
I like your first dress and agree with marigold that creating a sweetheart may be better actually.
I like your second dress too but its a little much! Its so fun though
they're both pretty! I personally like the sweetheart neckline better, but I like the bottom of the first better.
I just has my 1st fitting on Sat. I'm doing the exact thing you want to. Going from a scoop to a sweetheart. Here are the pics I have so far (the dress isn't done but you can get an idea. I love a sweetheart, always have, always will! Both dresses are lovely, by the way.

I think the first dress looks good with a straight across neckline...it might look less elegant if you put in a sweetheart because it seems that dress is all about the clean lines. The second dress gives a different feel. You should consider if the second dress is appropriate for the style of your wedding or if you only like it because of the neckline. Both styles are good on you; maybe a matter of which one you would prefer.
Personally...I LOVE the 2nd dress... :) I'm sorry but I think it looks awesome on you! The first one is so plain...

Have any of you ladies changed your straight strapless neckline to a sweetheart? In my other post I talked about how I am torn between two dresses. I think that if I could change my first dress that i have already bought from straight to sweetheart, I would be happier. Please post pics of your straight-to-sweetheart necklines and how it turned out...Thanks!!
Here are pics of the 1st dress ive already purchased and the 2nd dress which i am considering making me a 2 dress bride...
