    I like #2! The ruching is flattering. I think it would look even better if you take the straps out and make it into strapless!

    #2, the ruching is pretty and very flattering. I like the neckline of #1 better, but I think the waist isn't very complementary. Is there any way that you could get the neck line of the 2nd changed to a sweetheart?

    I like #1.  I think you look better with a strapless dress.  Is this your first dress shopping trip or have you been to others?  I went to five shops if not more before I found the dress I got married in.

    I think dress 2 is more flattering, is there any way you can do it without the straps though?

    this is my second shopping trip; i have only tried on about 20 dresses. These dresses are on a major sale and i have until tomorrow night to purchase them on sale so that is why i am trying to make a decision. i like them both a lot. i could see myself getting married in them and what a great deal.

    i keep thinking what if there is a better dress out there for me. so i am afraid to purchase one.

    Number one!  I disagree with the pp who said that the waistline isn't complimentary.  I think that the waist on #1 definitely accentuates your curves, whereas #2 isn't very flattering (and the bottom doesn't flow as well as #1, and #1 is classic... So #1!!!!)

    I like dress #2, but if you want to keep looking, don't buy the dress. Buy a dress when you find the one you're sure of getting married in or you'll wind up like the rest of us with multiple dresses in your closet :-)

    I'd say dress number two, but with the neckline altered into a sweetheart (would be very flattering on you).  Pretty!

    But I agree with cheerful-- make sure you're just not buying the dress because of the sale.  Make sure you love it-- otherwise, you're going to be out shopping again, but you'll then have $179 less in the budget due to buying the sale dress and not being totally satisfied.

    hmm, I think you can find a more flattering dress if you keep looking, but out of the ones posted, I would say the second one.

    I like #2 the rouching makes your waist look tiny - very flattering!

    I'm going a little out of the box, because i think there are aspects of each dress that is best for you.

    I think you should get the second dress (the silhouette is more flattering) BUT make it a sweatheart neckline & take off the straps; basically your taking the neckline of drese on with the waist of dress two; I think you wil have a real winner!
