So I've narrowed down my dress search primarily to these two dresses. Both are Justin Alexander.
The dress on the left has a major wow factor. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the belt is super thick and blinged out and just beautiful. It also has a layer of silvery threaded lace sort of underneath the lace layer, so it gives it a little bit of dimension.
The dress on the right is classic alencon lace. It has a more defined sweetheart, which I like (but could be accomplished with alterations). I can also change the belt, as it doesn't come with a belt. One of my favorite things about the left dress is the super blinged out belt, so I think I would want something a bit more substantial for the right dress.
I have more thoughts and opinions, but I would really appreciate your honest opinions, as there are faults and positives to both dresses that I have noticed, and I'm sure some I haven't.
I would be happy walking down the aisle in either dress.
Thanks in advance!
My eye is more drawn to the dress on the right. I think it's more flattering and I actually prefer the belt you are wearing in the dress.
With that said, it seems as if you heavily bias towards the dress on the left, to the point that you would basically morph dress 2 into it. If you love dress one so much, go with it!
I like the silhouette of the one on the right but the details and texture of the one on the left. Maybe see if you could alter the neckline of the one on the left to match the one on the right?
I love the one on the right, I think the contrast between the dress and the beaded belt is beautiful
I love the one on the left! I literally thought "WOW" when I saw it. The one on the right is pretty but doesn't have a wow factor
Right dress but i agree with PPM the texture of the left one is alot better
@IowaDDS13: I love the dress on the left, but I actually feel like the lace looks like leaves. I much prefer the lace of the right dress. I am not really favoring one or the other right now, but I do know I love the blinged out belt on the left. I love that for sure.
I love the one on the right. I love how much the belt stands out, compared to the left dress.
Both are beautiful, but I prefer the one on the right, belt and all!
I like the one on the right!! That sweetheart neckline is more flattering than the one on the left. The one on the right elongates you more.
I love the one on the right...so crisp and bright...looks great on you. However, you would look great in either...go with your gut!!!
I like the dess on the right! I'm not personally crazy about the lace on the left, but they both look great on you!
The dress on the left. I like the thicker belt and the pattern on the lace better. You won't go wrong with either one though. :) You should add a poll, it'll be easier to see the results.
The one on the left. They are both beautiful, but I love the lace pattern and the long train on the left dress. Good taste you have!
You totally need a poll! I love the one on the right. I think it flatters you more.
I agree with many above, the one on the right is beautiful!
I like the one on the left. I really like the "softer" details around the neckline. The belt doesnt seem very "blingy" to me but maybe it looks different in person? :) They are both beautiful though!
I love the one on the left! The one on the right looks kind of ordinary. The one on the left is a show-stopper! They both look gorgeous on you, so get the one you love. Since it's JA, I seriously doubt you'll regret either! I am a JA bride, and was very impressed with the craftsmanship and materials used.
@Kings7911: I think it is almost impossible to catch the bling of that belt in a picture. Even the model pic doesn't capture it. It is super blinged out. That's part of the reason I love it, and part of the reason that when I look at the pictures I'm not sure I love it.
I love the one on the right. Maybe it's the lighting, but I feel like with the one on the left, the belt blends in with the details of the dress and makes it look like there's way too much going on in that one area and I don't know where to look.
I like the different dimensions of the dress on the left. The lace is a lot more apparent - for a lack of better terms. Gives it that extra "wow" factor, IMO.
I think you look so much more beautiful in the dress on the left! It just seems to hug your shape better, and is so much more intricate than the dress on the right. The one on the right just seems a bit boring, and I think that you should be the least boring one in the room on your wedding day!! :D
It's a toss up. Both are fantastic on you. I prefer the one one the right becaus it is a little more understated and as pp mentioned, it looks more crisp. The only thing that bugs me about it are the vertical seams, from waistline to floor, that are visible.
Left dress is amazing!!! Love the colour, texture, belt, shape... I could go on! The one on the right, to me is very average...
@blueabz: The one on the left is definitely a show-stopper! The belt is big and blingy, the lace has a lot of detail and it really stands out. Plus, it seems like you're leaning towards it just by the way you wrote your post. The one on the right is more simple, and the shape is just a touch more flattering (stays fitted just a little further.) Tough call. Sleep on it for a day or two and then see how you feel. Those dresses aren't going anywhere.
On the hanger, the left dress looks better, but on you the right dress, I think it just suits you better, but it definately needs a belt.
The one on the right seems so much more plain in comparison to the left, and i do like bling...
I think #2 is more flattering because somehow it just looks more proportional.
Love the left dress on you. The color, texture, scalloping at the bottom, and belt are all amazing.
The right dress, to me, is just "fine." The lace isn't as special as the left dress, and I don't care for the seams on the front.
