    I prefer the Winnie is general.  However, it all depends on how it looks on  you.  Silk charmeuse is very difficult to pull off if you don't have a near perfect body.

    what Meowkers said.....  for me, the Winnie has vintage sultry charm that i really like but it doesnt suit every body shape and i love the beading work on the Casablanca, especially around the hemline

    goodluck, they are both beautiful!

    I like the first one!  You would have to be a size 0 to pull off the second one!

    With these 2 dresses, I'd really have to see you in them to make a final decision.  I like the Winnie couture better in the 2 pictures, but the details on the Casablanca are washed out in the images I was able to find.

    Oh, I really love the Winnie Couture, but I'd have to see them on to say for sure!

    The Winnie Couture style is more of a blank canvas as far as accessorizing is concerned.  Depending on what the beading is on the Casablanca, you will be more limited with options.  I don't know how important that is to you.  

    The Winnie Couture does look more sultry/sexy/glam/ bride to me and the Casablanca looks more sweet.  It all depends what look you are going for.  I don't think you have to have a "perfect" body for the Winnie... the ruching around the top portion will make it more forgiving.

    I went with the dress that made me feel most like a bride.  A lot of the dresses out there feel like prom dresses in white or ivory, IMO.  Have fun deciding!  It is a thrilling experience! :)

    Thanks for all the input! I went with the Winnie, I am very petite (street size zero) so the Winnie really worked for me. I feel glamerous and beautiful in it. If I can ever figure out how to post pictures, I will!
