    I can't tell - I only see two pictures, and they seem to be in opposite order? Maybe you could rename the files to correspond to the gown number so we could tell which is which?

    But they're both pretty! I think if you're shorter than the gown without the lace would look the nicest, I've always thought a drop-waist (like in the upper picture) tends to make people look shorter.

     #2.  Since you're petite, I think #1 might be too busy for your petite frame.

    I am with J on this.

    Dress two I think will look great because you are petite. With all the angles and patterns on dress one, it would attract the eyes to the lower part of the dress, I think make you appear a little more petite.

    I have to agree with #2. I think a dropped waist can elogonate the torso and make your legs look smaller. But also look at your frame, perhaps you have a small torso and elogonating it will make you more proportionate and taller. And make sure to try them all with heels because heels can change so much! All the dresses are beautiful though and I would love if you could post where you found them.

    The coco...Love the beadwork on top and smothness to the bottom very balanced. This dress combines both styles you like into 1 Dress!!

    i think the coco one is a really nice mixture of the best assets of the other two. that's how i decided on my dress - i had it down to three, and one clearly took the best parts of the other two.

    I think #2 is your best bet, especially since you said you are a petite 5'2. Dress #1 is beautiful but the style of it may cut you off making you look even smaller.

    Dress #2 is absolutly gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

    Dress #2 all the way

    I as well am very petite (5') and didnt feel like I could pull off a dress like #1 when I tried simmilar ones on.

    Dress #2 I could imagine is stunning on you, not to mention it is a stunning dress

    Coco is beautiful. I also really like Gown2alfred..so pretty.

     Coco is my vote though!

     

    I am very short and think the drop waist made me look a lot taller and thinner.

    I think they are both uber beautiful. Which one makes you stand tall and feel amazing?  Go with that one.

    I love dress two - so does my FI. He happened to be looking over my shoulder and voted for #2. Smile

    (He sees me looking at these "which dress" posts all the time and he likes to throw in his opinion as well, haha)

    I love the Coco, but I do like the other 2 also.  Do you have any pics of you in the dresses?

    I like the coco one. If you are going for non poofy though, I'd do with dress #2

    #2... #1 might be too much for your shorter frame. :)

    I was going to say the first one.  But everyone seems to be going for the second one....which is more classic.  I don't know your style though.   And the 2nd one is less poofy.

    I like number two.  It looks so beatiful and simple which is great for shorter brides.  You don't want too much going on.
