    I found a dress but then I kept looking... I just wanted to be sure!

    I think I am still sold on the first one I fell in love with but I wanted to get the hives opinion!

    They are both by Maggie Sottero and same shape the only difference is the second one has beading on the top while the other one has rouching (sp?) and dress one has a more elaborate train.

    Which one do you prefer?

    I have posted pics of the front and back of both dresses and a picture of me in the first dress (I don't have a pic of me in the second dress that is some random girl but I thought it displayed the dress better than the model)

    OK The pics didn't work - Grrrr...

    So here are the links to site

    Dress #1:

    http://www.sotteroandmidgley.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=rsm+1038&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=12&style=RSM1038

    Dress #2:

    http://www.maggiesottero.com/collection.aspx?keywordText=belinda&line=m&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=15

    I tried the pic of me in Dress #1 and the random bride in dress #2 for a non-model perspective... hopefully they work!

    i voted dress 1 because its a bit different to what i usually see. i like the delicate flower stuff on the side that cascades down

    but... they are both beautiful dresses so i understand why its a tough call

    Dress #1 -- The detailing is very pretty.  Otherwise, very similar.

    Thanks Guys!

    This post actually affirmed my choice of dress #1 because when it first went up 3 out of 4 of the first preferences were for dress #2 and I was sooooo disappointed and kind of upset LOL - that reaction right there told me that my dress is DRESS #1!!!!

    YAY!!!!

    Of the two dresses, I really like the first one.  It would be nice to see what you look like in the first and second dress though :)

    1st one!  Love it!  I have also broken the rule BUT it was a good thing for me because i realized that the one i thought was THE ONE was actually pretty ugly on me. i think i need to be 6 feet tall to look good in it! i originally wanted a melissa sweet nicolette.

    Hey, I think it might be because of the "#" in the photo titles. Try removing that and uploading again?

    #1!  The links worked for me, although none of the pics showed up.  Maybe they are too big?  I think there is a size limit.  Dress one is stunning!  I love it!  Makes me wish I wanted to wear strapless. :)

    I have to agree that you should definitely stick with number one!!! :) It is so gorgeous, elegant, and unique....it is very tough to get that combination!!! Hopefully this was the confirmation that you needed to know for sure that this is your dream gown! It is totally normal to second guess yourself, but the gown you bought is absolutely THE ONE!
