I guess I should've included the sleeveless pictures in the original post! If you guys don't mind voting again would you take the second to do so? I seriously am having tons of trouble deciding!
Original post:
I have my dress narrowed down to two choices, and I'm just not sure which one suits me better. I am 5'3" on a good day and I have very broad shoulders and hips, so I've narrowed down my favorite dress type to a drop waist ballgown. What I love about these two dresses is all the beading and the fact that the line between bodice and skirt is blurred (i.e. no defined by a straight line across). Iguess i'm just wondering if I can really pull off the Allure (seeing as how there's so much going on and I am so small) or if I should stick with the dress I originally fell in love with, Belle by Alfred Angelo. Any input bees?
Belle:
added: Belle w/o sleeves:
Allure C170:
Hopefully this time the results wont be skewed!! Thanks so much for all your help bees!!
I voted for the Allure...it's so romantic looking and looks fantastic on you!
You look gorgeous in both dresses but the Allure has something special about it. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I really love it on you!
I think the Allure gown looks absolutely STUNNING on you. The other gown is pretty without the straps, but I think the skirt looks too plain.
My personal fav is the Allure but I guess it really comes down to if you want a full smoother skirt or one with texture. You look amazing in both dresses so I can see why you're having difficulty choosing one over the other.
To me, without the sleeves, both dresses are equally beautiful on you. I had originally voted for the Allure, because I find the sleeves take away from your shape. Without the sleeves, the Belle looks as stunning on you. Both dresses are beautiful. I think at this point, if it was me, I would go with the one I love the most because honestly BOTH are stunning.
I personally still like the Allure best. The ballgown on the belle just seems to 'poof' out too much at your waist, making you look really short. Just MHO!!
Still the Allure. Its just stunning on you... like seriously, jaw dropping wow.
I think you look great in both dresses! I like the Belle with no sleeves. The Allure is my favorite because I LOVE ruffles, and I think it adds a modern twist. I also think you look taller because the skirt (while still full) doesn't look quite as full as the Belle. The Belle might be more timeless though. I'm not a huge fan of the top tulle layer on the Belle, but that's just personal preference, I know plenty of people that love that kind of detail.
I think the Allure looks beautiful on you. I think the Belle without the sleves is better than with the sleves, but the Allure takes the cake. I don't think it overpowers you either.
I changed my vote from the Belle with no sleeves to the Allure. I think before, the Belle was the first one I saw, and it looked AMAZING on you, so I got stuck on it. But now that I'm looking at both together again, I think the Belle is very soft and romantic, but the Allure is romantic AND really glamorous.
I actually love Belle without the sleeves, I love the simplicity and the fullness of the Belle. But both dresses look fantastic on you, and I really don't think you could go wrong either way!
Definitely the Allure...as that is my dress also! Plus, you look absolutely fabulous in it!
They both look great, I personally prefer the skirt of the Belle- but they are both beautiful, and very similar dresses. Both look great on you.
I voted for the Allure last time & I still feel the same, I think the Allure fits you very well & is the most flattering :)
I think the bodice on the Allure is more flattering even compared to the Belle w/o sleeves... maybe it's the deeper sweetheart? If that's all it is, then you could alter the Belle neckline. I love the skirt on the Belle! And the top on the Allure. BUT, if I had to pick one dress overall, it's the Allure.
ALLURE by a longshot!!! The bottom is so beautiful and I love the details on top! It blows the other one away!
@castawaycay: I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a fall 2012 wedding and already picking out my dress!!
And thanks everyone else for your feedback!! It feels really nice to know that the Allure dress isn't wearing me and I can totally pull it off!! Oh man, I can't wait to own it, I'm pretty sure i'm going to put it on and have a little party when it comes in :)
I voted for the allure. I usually love sleeves but I feel I need to be honest with you here...I dont think they flatter you with the dress.
You will look fab in that allure! amazing so beautiful! congrats
I guess I'm in the minority. I like belle with sleeves the best on you. But I have to say, you look gorgeous in all the options.
You look STUNNING in the Allure! Sooo gorgeous! You have a great petite figure for ballgowns, too!
although i like the Belle better without sleeves, my fave is still the allure. although they are quite similar once Belle has no sleeves, so i don't think you can go wrong with either. i just like the ruffles on Allure. and i am biased because i have a ruffles dress.
The Allure looks divine on you!You have such a tiny waist and that dress defines it amazingly well!So...I voted for Allure C170!
I think the Belle w/ sleeves makes you look taller, but like it better w/o the sleeves, the skirt seems poofier. (Or maybe I'm just crazy lol) BUT I like the Allure miles better! You look stunning in it and it is just gorgeous :)
If Belle is what you fell in love with (and what you envision walking down the aisle in), I say: Go Belle! I think you look better in it with no sleeves, though. To me, there aren't many differences between Allure and no-sleeve Belle, so go with what you love!!
I just bought the Allure gown. You will love it! It's amazing! Btw, I loved the Belle too! But the Allure has something extra special! Congrats and Good Luck!
