    2! It's much, much more flattering! You know I like the first one, though.

    Good thing I saw this poll.  I was going to be offended that decisions are being made without us! 

    #2 looks amazing on you.  There.  Problem solved.

    okay i think i'm paranoid because i cannot show M and he always helps me and of course he's like what's the big deal just show me and i'm like no i cannot (and yes i have even burst into tears over it)...  and sophia is by far my favorite i just keep thinking about it not being wedding-y enoguh, i mean i'd buy her in another color for a gala or cruise you know? heck i wish i could cut her train off a bit and dye her... but then if i can get her in another color does that mean she's not bridal enough

    I definitely don't feel like that dress is "non-bridal" - I think it's a VERY bridal dress!

    okay i am giggling that no one chose the first dress... the folks in the store went insane over it... people were coming up left and right going omg what a gorgeous dress it's soo different and pretty and guys were staring at me.. but i didn't feel like sophia. i teared up when i put on a veil, but i think veil's make me tear up anyway... okay i'm feeling better about it.. another thing was we couldn't find THAT dress, you know?  we found an AA dress that was very similar, but too big and it flowed right and my mom and i liked it but didn't like the bodice and i kept telling her about sophia and i just wished she could have seen it so we could have bought it. i seriously don't want to buy a dress that she hasn't seen even though i know it's the one.. i think she's coming to visit in two months and we'll get it then unless she decides to get it before seeing it...

    @tonya: yeah i could definitely do that, but on the model it looks well not flattering, it hangs on her and on me it gives me the awesome figure 8, hour glass, coca cola bottle, sex goddess (my phrase) look. i am just being silly.   i am feeling a lot better about it now.

    eta mom thinks the reason i like the first was because it fit the best. i had the hardest time trying on dresses becaue nothing fit or zipped or anything like that it was disheartening.

    Sophia is so figure flattering on you! Just gorgeous. I agree with Tonya2010 that she's very wedding-y. I know how you feel though - I had the same thoughts of 'oh, this is my only chance to wear a poofy princessy gown, maybe that's what I should get," but when I was honest with myself, I knew that I never wanted to be a princess-y bride. Much better to choose a dress you love and feel fabulous in then to choose a dress that seems more traditionally bridal, you know? Aren't dress doubts the worst, no matter how short lived?!

    The first one is pretty but the second seems like it was made just for you!  I'd go with that one.  You look gorgeous in the that one.

    @owl: that's exactly how i am feeling i think!!! it's like omg i am getting married but it also felt very princessy and i'm like well this is the only time in life i will get to wear a dress this poofy except halloween.  i think i'm just tripping and i need a nap.  i also will try on sophia again with my mom but another part of me wants to keep looking to make sure and everything i look at i compare to sophia so why keep looking this is stupid. i am seriously on some other plane of existence right now called stupidity.

    Hands down the 2nd one.  I love the way it shows off that hourglass figure.  I do love the ruffles on #1, as I have a ruffle dress also, but I do not like how the ruffles go straight across horizontally and I feel that the rhinestone belt hits right on the hips.  Not as figure flattering as the 2nd.

    Although if you are in doubt, continue looking.  I almost settled until I found the dress.  There was not more dreaming about other dresses after that. 

    Good Luck!

    Maybe you can find a gorgeous gown that molds the two together.  Strapless, rushing,  trumpet gown with ruffles.  Kind of like :

    yeah but i don't think i liked the other ruffles on me one of the things i loved about sophia was the straightness...

     

    btw i did try on angelina (one of my favorites before dress shopping and she felt like way too much dress for me). i loved the alabaster color though (my mom has to email me pictures)

    The look on your face in the pictures with another post about your dress tells me that you like the second one better.  You look stunning in it and the smile was pure radiance.  Take a deep breath and get some rest.

    I think they are both totally gorgeous on you.  You could rock either one and be stunning.  The thing is, I know how you feel about them and so I voted for Sophia.  You love that dress.  Could you possibly love the other even half as much?

    I think that's why you are getting so many votes for Sophia.  It's because we know it's the dress that you love.  If you felt equally about them, it might be a harder decision.
