    Hi ladies!!!

    I am trying to decide between these two gowns and I am totally stuck in the middle! Both of the pics are of samples that are WAY too big for my petite frame, but one of them has more silk/satin (dress 1) and one has more lace (dress 2). Both are modified A-line dresses.

    Dress 1 = picture 1-3

    Dress 2 = pictures 4-6

    I am leaning toward the 2nd dress because it has a longer train which I envisioned on my wedding day and more lace (but I'm not quite sure about having the net lace all over the gown). If I went with the 1st gown, I would probably remove all of the rhinestones and just have the lace.

    Which one looks better??? (Despite the large sizes!)

    Thanks so much for your help!!!

    I love the 2nd one!! It looks like it frames you better...I know they are both big on you...but even if they were your size it still looks like the 2nd one would frame you much better. And I love the back of it. PS I have a lace dress too and I LOVE my lace dress! Good luck :)

    Hard to say because they're big but I'd vote for the one with more lace.

    you look phenomenal in both dresses. i chose the first because it has a more couture look to it.... the second is very beautiful and reminds me of a garden wedding.

    Both dresses are very pretty, but I think dress #2 is absolutely the better choice of the two. It is way more flattering than the first.

    DRESS #2!!! it has the "wow" factor. #1 is kinda....it's pretty but it's "same ole same ole". We've all seen that dress everywhere, that's all. I like the fit and flare better on the second one, too!!!! #2! #2!

    They're both very pretty, but I think I like #2 on you best.  There's just something about it, it just looks like YOUR dress. :)  It's so flattering--you look stunning!

    They're both beautiful. I think I like the first one better on you, though. You look happy in it :-). I guess it depends on the style of your wedding, too. The second one seems more traditional, while the first one seems a little more modern and elegant. I think you'll look beautiful in whatever one you pick, though!

    I vote for dress #2, the one with lace and long train.  Is that side view picture actually you wearing it?  (I remember in your last poll that you mentioned that pictures #4-5 are not of you).  I think #2 has a more flattering style and I like the fuller skirt/longer train, too.

    #2 looks far better on you! You look absolutely stunning in the second one! Just my opinion! Good luck and best to you in which ever one you choose! I would choose whichever one you feel better n though, regardless of what anyone else thinks though, because you have to feel beautiful in your dress! Congrats!

    Aaah! Tough choice.  If I were choosing for myself, I'd go with #1, but #2 just looks completely amazing on you.

    first one is way more original. I love the shiny satin-looking fabric.

    My personal vote is #1 (though I know I'm in the minority!) because I *love* that neckline! I'm a sucker for pleating and the sweetheart is *just* right :)  But from what you've said, it def sounds like #2 might be your winner, b/c you'd have to do so much to #1 to get it how you want it -- and you still look fab in #2!

    I think I like the second one better...but i really like the semi-sweetheart neckline on you, its very flattering...so I'd recommend #2, with a sweet heart neckline made :D  But...it looks gorgeous without..its just my opinion :)

    I like #1 best, but you need to have the salespeople clip you into those dresses so that we can get a better idea.  I think I am more attracted to #1 because of the sweetheart neckline and the cleaner look.  The lace in the middle will look stunning once the dress is fitted to you.  It's going to accentuate your teeny tiny waist!
