    @jpalm13: actually it is a tulle overlay on the first one...and the "flower" shape is tulle gathered up...at least that's what they told me at the shop ;)

    @heineck7712: Ahhh!! OK that probably isnt showing up on my screen then lol. Either way I like the first better. The shape is much nicer on your frame =) The bottom of the second just looks too heavy.

    Honestly I don't see much different but I do like #1 better. The neckline is more flattering IMO.

    Yeah the first one doesnt look like tulle at all, and both dresses look alike. I'm not a bit fan of pickups but I agree that dress one has a nicer neckline

    The first one just seems to "work" better on you. But they are both pretty... you can't go wrong!

    Wow...must be the image on the computer...if you look at the bottom of the dress you can see where the tulle is a lil bit longer than the material underneath...the 1st one is not considered a "pick up" skirt and it's fitted longer through the torso...are the pics really that bad????  I didn't think these dresses looked anything alike??? 

    Keep the feedback coming...I have to make a decision SOON!!!  haha...July isn't that far off and I will relax a lil more once I know it is ordered...lol!!!!  Thanks everyone ;)

    I think you can do better than either of these to be honest. You look like you have a great figure and I feel like the silohuette of both of these dresses look off. The top of the first one is great but the textured skirt looks odd.

    @ella86: if only you knew how many different dresses I tried on...lol!! Literally been to 5 different store..two of them twice, and these were the only 2 I actually fell in love with...if you have a better suggestion of the type of silouette I should try by all means...I'm ALL ears :)  I really don't know where else to go from here...cinderella type makes me look too boxy, full fit and flare or mermaid type makes me look to hippy...what do you suggest????

    I prefer 1. 2 looks a bit dated and "heavy".

    @heineck7712: Are you sure you look hippy in fit and flare? Because from he first dress I imagine a fit and flare  looking great!

    @ella86: Oh I am DEFINITELY sure...I'm my worst critic when it comes to my body and I guarentee I wouldn't even be comfortable in it that day or evening b/c of how bad I thought I looked...I came out of the dressing room looked in the mirror and then walked right back in and said NEXT!

    I think the first one looks good on you.... I am just not feeling the textured skirt! BUT, that is just me. I am more of a traditional dress girl and I am just not feeling the latest trends.

    @heineck7712: that fabric overlay on the first dress is not tulle, its most likely organza or chiffon and yes both dresses do have pick ups. You can see where the fabric looks like its been picked up and pinned in place. There are different types of pickups but both dress have pick ups

    I think the poll speaks for itself - #1! It's no comparison.

    Number 1. 

    The neckline is more flattering and it shows off your figure.

    I like the draping in the skirt in the first one better. The second one, the pickups look... off somehow.  The first one is much softer and more elegant.

    #2 looks messy to me and doesnt give you any definition in the waist.

    is #1 the model pic you posted above??? do you have closer pics of it on you? from a distance, the dress doesnt look good in pics but maybe it's cause of the camera/cell phone.

    #1!! It shows off your great figure! And I'm not usually one for textured skirts, but I think it looks so soft and feminine, and I love how unique it is.
