    Two dresses - can't decide which one to wear!

     

    Wedding Details: 6pm ceremony w/ interfaith rev outside, 7pm cocktails/apps, no sit-down dinner, dancing, maybe a "first duet" rather than dance... as casual as you can get in a fancy hotel, reception is @ penthouse loft of NYC hotel.

    Dress Details: #1 Fabric is Sartung, ballroom style, Brooch on Bow will match necklace; #2 Fabric is Satin, embellishments on bodice and bottom.  Bridesmaids dress is short and kelly green.

     

    Help me decide!  Thank you!

    1st one, 1st one, 1st one.  Gorgeous, love it!!  Don't know if this is what you're going for, but it's much more modern and clean looking than option #2, which is also beautiful.

    Definetly the first one....I prefer the neckline on the first over the second.  Looks great on you! (I thought I already posted to your thread...but it's gone, so if this is a repeat...oops!)

    The first one seems like it would fit your reception more than the second one.

    I love the second one more. Guess I'm in the minority! The second one is much more my style..

    Which one are you leaning towards? Both are beautiful! :)

    Definitely the first!  Every time I see that pic of you in that dress I can't get over how perfect it looks on you.  And the second one looks a lot better in pictures.  In person it looks kind of cheap to me.

    I should clarify: neither is ME.  I snagged both photos from the Internet - my camera wasn't working the day I tried it on :(

    I love your first dress.  The first time you posted it, I was floored at where you bought it.  It has a beautiful full skirt & love the embellishments.

    However, this isn't the first time that you have mentioned looking for another dress. Are YOU unhappy with the one that you have chosen?

    Did you change your colors?  Weren't you looking at teal and red, or am I thinking of someone else totally.. so sorry if I am!

    EDIT to add: I must be mistaking you for another girl on the boards.  I swear someone looking just like the person in the first pic has posted on here before.  Maybe I'm having a "crazy" day!

    Anyways, I love the first one.

    I replied to your other post, but here's my opinion again!  :)

    That first dress looks fun!  Very cute.  I definitely agree with the sweetheart neckline as well.

    The second dress looks LIGHTER, but that could just be the lighting.  How does that one look on you?  For me, I'd have to get the second dress, because of where the waist-line is.  I, personally, look bigger when I'm wearing an empire waist dress, and smaller when my dress accentuates my natural waist, which is a little lower than some people's.

    That first dress looks like it's hitting your waist in a good spot (if that's a picture of you), so I don't think you have to worry about the problem I was describing.  Have you tried on both dresses?  Is one more flattering than the other?  Is one more comfortable than the other?  I think either is cute and fun!

    Also - are they both white?  The first one looks ivory, but that could be the lighting.

    Sorry, but it's not even close.  The one on the blonde is elegant, sophisticated, sleek; the first is very dull to me.

    The first dress is ME! Haha, I was confused to open this thread and find the picture of myself... hahaha.  So... of course I'm biased. Wink  I've yet to see someone else in this dress.

    Oh, also, I have since taken the bow off... just an FYI that it's easy to do if you decide to go that route. I like the bow, but I ended up liking the dress more without it.

    Wait a second, that isn't you in the first pic?

     

    Well, I like dress #1 better, but it's always better to see it on YOU (not someone else or a model).

    Thanks for all your help!

     

    They are both from David's Bridal.  #1 isn't on the website yet (hence the personal photo) style number T3039.  I've finally got new photos w/ ME in the dress which I'm reposting as a new thread.

     

    Thanks for all the help!

    i've tried on the first one myself, it's such a cute dress!

    i voted for #1 not because i liked it on myself, but because you seem to have a dainty personality (from your pose in the first pic!) so i think #1 fits you perfectly. #2 will look too ordinary on you :)

    I voted dress 1.  Even though I think dress 2 is beautful, I think that dress 1 is more casual/fun, which is how you have described your wedding day.

    Dress 2 seems a little too formal for what you have described.

    Oh my gosh, thank you melissa & jenniferceline.. I thought I was losing my mind!  I'm so bad with names, I couldn't remember - I thought that it was jenniferceline posting, but then looked at how many posts this person had and got confused...

    Anyways, I still vote for number 1

    i bought the first one 2 weeks ago and cant wait for september to try it on again! i love it. i tried on number 2 and hated it. it was much more heavy and the pleating on the bodice didnt sit right on me. congrats on finding your dress :)

    I just have to tell you that seeing you in the T3039 dress made me fall in love with it.  I went to DB today specifically to try that one on and it is totally "the one" for me!  I LOVVVVVVVEEEE it.  I'm so glad you chose that one, you look gorgeous in it.
