Hi ladies!
I really need your help, I'm just about to order my dress. But I'm SO stuck between the Pronovias 'Megara' or the Maggie Sottero 'SaBelle' - they're both very similar but also very differemt.
I love the corset back of the Sabelle but I love the silkier material of the Megara!!
Has anyone got any advice or had this problem before?
Looking forward to hearing from you... help me!

I love Sabelle, but that's because I'm a Sabelle bride! It's a whole lotta dress! You have to ask yourself which one can you see yourself get married in, which one calls more to you. It's that WOW factor that did it for me, but only you can make the decision -- you'll be wearing it. Also, the bridal store might be able to put a corset back in the first dress if you love the fabric and that dress more.
Thanks!
I'm still torn between the two! I asked the 'Megara' shop if they could put a corset back on the dress but they said no.
ReeandB7210 - did you ever worry that the SaBelle was to BIG? I absolutely LOVE it and feel like a princess in it but worry that people will think i'm trying to look like cinderella in it!?

Megara. But thats just me..lol
But if you LOVE the SaBelle follow your heart. It's YOUR dress and YOUR wedding day.
Thanks Pennydreadful, It's tough because no one person has seen be in both dresses... mum and one of my bridesmaids has seen the SaBelle and one of my other BM has seen the Megara... they loved them both! My fiance says just to follow my heart and go with the one I like... but I love them both so much... I DO feel slightly more comfortable in the Megara (it's not so heavy). Oh i don't know....Hmmmmm.... x
I prefer the design of the 2nd dress. Do you have pictures of you trying them on to see how they fit on you? Which one do you feel is the best choice?
my cousin wore the sabelle and no one thought she was going over the top, she was glowing in it! i really liked the sabelle i might have considered buying it myself if my cousin hadnt bought it first!
I have tried on both - twice... unfortunately neither shop would let me take photos!!!! grrr... I think i'm going to go with the Pronovias! I just had a loooong chat with mum (you can't beat it) and she's helped me decide... that, and the 90% of you ladies who prefer the Pronovias! he he.
Thank you soooo much for your help!
Once i get the dress ordered i'm hoping they'll let me take a few pics to post on here!

My daughter is wearing the Sabelle....the corset back really, really makes this dress fit sooooo well! The sweetheart neckline is very flattering. And the roses....!! she heard this dress weighs 13 lbs...just had her fitting Saturday with a crinoine and when it was bustled she said it didn't feel heavy at all and very comfortable...of course this is coming from a girl who doesn't bat an eye when she is wearing 4" heels....
I like the Megara best. Once you go to order you have to show us pictures of whatever you choose:)
i would go with the maggie sottero one... it looks more elegant and more princess....i tried some pronovias once and i was pretty upset with thier material! they looked all wonderful on the website, but then when i saw it i was like"thats' it?!?!?"...
let us know which one did u pick!
I like the Maggie better every bride I've seen photos of look so happy and radiant, plus I've read some Pronovias horror stories lately.
I wore a pronovias dress, and the raw dupioni silk is fabulous--light, airy, breathable (which you'll care about a few hours into it). If the Pronovias you're thinking about is the same fabric as the Diamante, definitley go Pronovias!
Megara, Megara, Megara!
but it would be better to see both of them on you :)
I never felt Sabelle was too big, but I'm 5'10" so I guess I can carry the dress better than a petite bee. If your worried about it being to heavy, go with the Megara...Sabelle is a heavy dress, and I'm wearing a crinolin skirt too! But, it's worth it
. Good Luck!
My vote definitely goes to the Pronovias gown :) I am biased though because my gown is also a Pronovias and I just love the style!!!
Thanks Bee's!!!
Well I slept on it, and have decided to go with the Pronovias Megara! I'm soooo excited bee's. I loved the feeling when I first tried it on - kind of like 'ahhh, i'm home'. The material is so soft and the embroided detail is amazing. I'm also not huge on top but have broad shoulders, so the more straight finish (rather then the sweetheart) looks better on me. The lace underneath has so much more detail which is why i loved it so much initially - the contrast between the two fabrics really makes it stand out. Anyway, I fell in love with both dresses when I tried them on, but the megara stole my heart every so slightly more than the SaBelle. I'm sure I could still be swayed but i'm going to go with Pronovias!
Thank you SO much for your comments, you really helped me out!!
As soon as I have some pics - i'll post them on here -could be a while though as I won't get the dress till July/August now! - seem like ages away!! :-(

ps - you don't think that the button/zip up back will stop me from getting that amazing (flattering) tight around the waist fit??? I always thought you could only get that with a corset.

I wore the Sabelle and loved it! But I must admit, a lot of my wedding was outdoors and we all had trouble bustling it! Other than that, our pictures would not have come out so beautiful if I hadn't had that gown on! The dresses are so similar though, I think you made a great choice!

YAY!! Finally got my dress ordered! And I managed to get a couple of photo's too!
Tell me what you think! :-)
