    OK I have narrowed it down to two dresses, and just CAN NOT make a decision at all..

    The first one is Essence, and I think some of you have already seen it on me earlier in my posts. It looks good on me, since I have a thinner waist, so it emphases it and just looks elegant and simple. The top of the dress is beaded and sparkly, and the skirt is simple except fot the ruffle. 

    I have the dresss already.

    Here is the link to front and back.

    Then I tried on Raylia dress and I thought it looked amazing. It is corsetted in the back, so the waist looks even more defined, and I just loved the way it fit. Some people came to me at the shop and commented how amazing it looked. And I felt amazing in it. It has sparkly beads throughout the dress on the top and on the skirt.

    Here is front and back (the model looks a little... hmmm. ignore^)

    So.... I came home and tried on the Essence again, and it does look great also...

    Totally different styles - one elegant, another one more flamboyant - I love the way both look. I asked my family, friends, no one can decide either!:))))

    The only difference is that I already have the Essence, and the Raylia is another $400 out of my pocket, and I am still so tempted....

    Super indecive, I hate myself for not being able to decide. I hate to spend more money on another dress, and I love the way they both feel and fit:)

    Help? Ideas? May be someone went through this already?

    i looove the first one, its very unique! beautiful! i love the ruffles under the dress.

    im not a fan of corset backs or pickups - so that kind of rulse out number 2 for me - but thats just my opinion on wedding dresses in general.

    you need to choose whichever one you felt more special in :)

    That Essence one is just gorgeous! I absolutely love it! The second one has too much going on, in my opinion: lots of bling and pickups and such. I think you'd shine in the first. So beautiful!

    And I'm going through the "two dress bride" dilemna now as well. My first dress fits me so well, right off the rack, but I love the features of the second and, with tailoring, I'm hoping it will fit perfectly as well!

    @jess:

    Are you going with the second one? It is SO hard to choose, especially when both dresses fit well...

    Just based on the pics of the models I like the first one better, but the second one is more fancy if its a more formal event, it would help if there were pics of you because you don't want to buy the prettier dress necessarily, but the dress that looks the prettiest on you!

    I love the little ruffles on the bottom of the first dress, and colored dresses are fabulous!
