    Hello Bees! Thanks to all of you who voted in my last poll when I was deciding between two dresses. I went dress shopping for last last time and have narrowed down my picks to four. Which one do you think I should pick? This is such a tough decision....argh! Please excuse the pics...I was SUPER tired. hahaha

    I vote for the second dress! It is stunning on you. You look super skinny and tall in it becuase of how the fabric flows somewhat diagnal. Gorgeous

    I agree on #2! They are all beautiful on you but I think the second one just looks even better :)  Congrats on finding a dress!

    Either the 1st or 2nd dress. The sweetheart neckline looks like it was made for you!

    To me, definitely Dress #4. Not even a contest.

    -The fabric looks a lot classier than the other ones. Comes off like a more expensive designer dress though I'm guessing they're all in the same price range.

    - It shows off your tiny waist perfectly without all the ruching getting in the way.

    - If the neckline is the only downside, you can always ask about ordering it with a sweetheart neckline. Casablanca is great with customizations.

    I picked number 1

    I agree you need a sweetheart neckline.

    However the second dress I felt was over-exagerrated.  The top looked almost too big.  The first one I felt fit you so much better

    #4, you look beautiful in it! It's classy and I agree with meliss, the fabric photographs beautifully AND I would also customize the neckline to be sweetheart...just the way you like it. It's your wedding dress and you can alter it to your heart's content!!!

    I say #4 for sure! It's so beautiful and it shows off your great figure. I also noticed that it's the only picture that you are smiling in. You look so happy Smile Which one felt the best when you first put it on?

    Also, just curious which bridal stores you went to. I'm from Seattle and tried on dresses at a few places up there.

    I voted number 4. It looks so much more classic than the others. I don't like the bottom of 3 and 1 and 2 look exactly the same... I honestly don't see the difference.

    Dress # 4!!! The color is fantastic on you, the fabric looks super expensive and photographs beautifully, better than the others IMO. Plus, the dress hugs you in all the right places without overwhelming you in fabric. I agree that the sweetheart is beautiful on you which is a minor alteration. GO FOR 4!!!!

    @Neele: haha I was was extra smiley in that picture because the store owner's dog was super excited and jumping around right at that moment. I tried on dresses at I Do Bridal and Cynderellie's Closet in Edmonds (they allowed pics while I Do Bridal did not). When I put the dresses on, Irina felt the best because it was easiest to move in was not heavy. Did you buy your dress yet? Did you get it in Seattle?

    I love number 1!!! You look stunning in every single dress... It was a hard decision!! I like the neckline on this one the most, and it just flows really well :]

    Beautiful!!

    @Meliss & @ Marcam: Thanks! Yeah the dress looks better in the pictures than it did when I had it on--the material does look really nice in the photo! And yeah, if I ended up getting that one or the other Casablanca one, I would have it altered to a sweetheart neckline :-)

    @Wendy: Okay so I'm not the only one who was wondering if the top just looked odd on me. I liked the way the rest of the dress fits but something about the top seemed off to me...I just couldn't figure out what it was and wasn't sure if it was just me or what! Thanks!!
