    Houston...we have a problem...do you like it? :  wedding IMG 1051Houston...we have a problem...do you like it? :  wedding IMG 1038So, I bought the Ambrosia....(first one pictured) since the shop told me they didn't have the Sabelle...turns out the sales girl didn't know they did...well...I tried it on today, since I couldn't stop thinking of it.....and now i am buying the Sabelle, I'm going to see if the shop can change my order, but if not...well....anyone want to buy it?!

    Ignore the colors, the Ambrosia I bought is in Alabaster, the Sabelle I ordered is in Diamond White...

    Both beautiful, but unless you can transfer your deposit and not lose any money on the switch, I think they're so similar that you don't need to buy both!

    I thought they were the same dress (but in different colors) at first!  I say keep the one you already have since the differences are so subtle.

    I'd say keep the first one ( I can barely see the difference). But obviously you know there is one, so whichever one calls out for you more go for it! :)

    Both dresses are beautiful but I LOVE the first one! However only you know which one feels right to you. They're very similar though.

    I actually like the first one best, but they both look so pretty! If you really really want the second one go for it! I just hope everything works out :)

    So weird... but I always think these two are the same dress, and I can never comment cause I don't know which is which, and I can't separate them in my brain! So my commenting is pretty useless.... cause I think you should pick either one and you'll look stunning and have pretty much the same look :)

    I can't even really tell the difference. Not worth the trouble to change dresses, IMO.

    I love the first one but I voted for the second since you were actually smiling in that picture.

    I really like the ambrosia.  It fits you so well.  Totally your call though!

    I had to really look to see the difference. Since it is so hard to tell then I would say keep the dress. But, if you know the other one is better for you then change it. You are the one that is going to be wearing it!

    I'm not sure if its just the difference in the angle of the first, but I like that one a little more.  It looks like the pick up is not quite as distracting as the second picture, allowing the eyes to focus on the beading detail and your figure.

    Yeah, I don't know, I was looking at your previous post and going back and forth between both gowns, and I could hardly tell the difference!  And if we Bee girls are struggling, i imagine most people won't know either!  That being said, choose whichever dress will make you happiest!

    They look like the same dress from thoes angels, except the neckline. I like the more subtle one of the first one.

    Glad you've been to try it on since your last thread. It's a tough call as I said before. I do love the Sabelle. They are quite similar and the main difference is the Sabelle has a bit more poofier skirt. I'm actually going to surprise myself and say I prefer the Ambrosia.

    I like the Ambrosia but if you love the Sabelle and the salesperson messed up then maybe they'll let you transfer the deposit?

    I like the second one, as the shop girl made a mistake surely they will let you switch

    I actually like the first one better!  My eyes are drawn straight to the pick ups on the bottom left side of the picture in the second dress - not to you and your face/smile.

    Plus - I had to look really closely to see any differences in the details of the two dresses so I don't think it would be worth the switch of you were out any moeny for having to do so.
