    So I made a post earlier today, but so many people asked to see me in a pic of the dress instead of the model, so I made a reposting as that may sway your vote! Sorry to double-post but I have to decide today as they're only holding the 2nd dress for me today & I can't return it if I buy it since its on a special sale.

    My wedding theme is a vintage theme & not traditional. I really liked my 1st dress when I put it on layaway & then I accidentally found dress #2. My FI saw a short red version of dress #2 & loved it & almost made me buy it haa but has no idea it comes in a long white/ivory color! But #1 is soo pretty on me too! Help by voting!

    Dress #1 (David's Bridal dress, $200 but will need $200 in alterations plus slip, etc, so probably a $500 dress):

    Choosing between 2 dresses... which should I choose? :  wedding dress vote Dresswveil2

     

    & Dress #2 ($150 but on sale for $130, no alterations needed, no slip needed):

    Dress 2 is much more flattering on you than the model pic from the other thread. You can't go wrong with either of them. I guess to me the deciding factor would be the overall feel of the wedding. Dress 1 is definitely more formal to me. I think Dress 2 might be more vintage nontraditional.

    I vote for the new one! I like both, but the lace looks so pretty and romantic! I'm also a total sucker for lace, so I AM a little biased ;)

    Woooowwww.....I also voted for the first one in your other thread, but on you, there's no contest!  The second one ROCKS.  You look gorgeous, romantic, timeless and it totally goes with your vintage theme.  Love it!

    I'm with meliss... in the other thread it was #1 and now I've voted for #2. See what fits your budget though... seems like you've already spent money on #1 and it's gonna take some time to recoup that... are you okay with that?

    Dress 2!!!! It looks gorgeous on you; definitely a better fit than the first one. Also, it's much more unique than the first. The first one to me is the 'every bride' nowadays. The second dress adds an element of 'wow' that the other doesn't have.

    Thank you everyone!! I got the dress at Deb today after serious thinking & reading all the posts & it was only $104!! It was sold "as is" but nothing is wrong with the dress, my MOH & I looked all over it & couldn't find the reason why its as is, likely there's a small tear but you can't see it at all & no one could find it at the store either.

    So if you want an inexpensive dress, go to Deb :). & thanks sooooo much for all the compliments!! Very sweet & makes me feel extra good about my dress!

    I love 2. It's unique and the lace makes it fit with your vintage theme. You may see another bride walking down the aisle in that DB dress!

    You look great in that second dress!  So happy that you purchased it!  That dress is very unique and special, it makes the first dress look super boring.  It will also fit beautifully with the vintage feel you want for your wedding.  Congrats!

    Ooooh, I like them both.  If I had to pick, I'd say #2 just because its a little more "unique" and so delicate and feminine

    Personally, I like Dress #1 a little bit more, but Dress #2 is much more vintage-looking!

    They both look great, but you seem to love number 2 more. Therefore I would go with number two. Also if you are having a more vintage wedding I think the second dress would go great.

    Dress #2 looks good on you.  Its not my style at all, but if it fits the theme of your wedding, and you know your FI already loves it (in red), then go for it! 

    Think of it this way, Davids Bridal Dress would have cost you almost $400.

    This dress would cost $150 + the money you would loose on the DB dress $200 = $350, still less than the DB dress!
