    Thank god I don't have this problem with men.  I really love both dresses and I know I can't go wrong, but I still can't decide.  Every time I feel I've decided someone says they love the other one more.  So which one is it?

    The first one is MUCH more figure-flattering on you!

    You look so good in the Maggie, but I think the San Patrick is much more bride-y.

    Which one do YOU love more? That's the important part! :) They both are really pretty, but I think the first one has a better fit.

    What is the location/venue of your wedding?  Honestly, they both look great on you.  I see the Maggie dress as more outdoorsy/summery while the San Patrick I think would be great for a church/indoor wedding and reception.

    I think the neckline on the San Patrick is more flattering on you...but I like the waist on the Maggie dress! I understand your dilemma...I also like the 2-tiers on the San Patrick so my vote is for that one! You'll look great no matter what you pick!

    the first is much more flattering, which is usually how I vote.  I woul see if you can add a small brooch (sp?) to the gathered area for some extra wow factor if that is your style.

    I think the first one is much more flattering on you. I think the San Patrick is very pretty but the two layers are too symmetrical for me.

    They're both gorgeous!! Think about buying one and see if you feel any regret for not getting the other one... That usually works for me!

    Well - I like the first one a LOT, but I noticed you weren't really smiling in that pic? But it definately flatters you! It's beautiful!

    I think it's the ribbon on the 2nd one that I'm not crazy about... it shortens your torso (and as a short torso girl myself, I know for a fact the need to appear elongated :)

    ohhh the decisions.  I love both, but my biggest problem with the San Patrick is that Im having an outdoor wedding and it seems almost too grand for the occasion.  I tried on the Maggie like 3 months ago and loved it but had no idea I would be coming back to it three months later so it was just a whim of a picture on my mom's blackberry.  I'll keep everyone updated on what I choose.

    They're both beautiful dresses! I think the first one is more flattering on you though.

    I definitely like the Maggie better. It's such a flowy, pretty look. I think the ribbon and the layer/tier (whatever you call that) on the San Patrick dress makes it look a little more choppy and not as flattering as the Maggie.

    I voted for The San Patrick!! It looks amazing on you and I love the train! And the tie around the waist is very slimming!! The Maggie ia also very nice however it almost looks simpler to me just with beading and the shorter train...you can't go wrong either way but I vote: San Patrick for sure!

    DEF. the St. Patrick. It's beautiful. I love the neckline and the detail in the lace layers. And a sash will always define your waist more. I'm biased though - I like sashes.

    I think the Maggie is more flattering and the sash on the San Patrick cuts your figure in half. You have a beautiful line in the Maggie.

    I vote for the SP, for two reasons: (1) I am always drawn to lace dresses more, and (2) you look happier in that dress.

    I also chose it because I think the soft sweetheart flatters you more, but that could just be a function of sample size fitting. :)

    Good luck either way! They're both great dresses!

    I like the way the Maggie accentuates and flatters your curves, but I agree that the neckline on the San Patrick is better.  I think changing the Maggie neckline into a subtle sweetheart would not be difficult for the seamstress, so you might be able to get the best of both dresses!

    I agree, get the Maggie dress and alter the neckline to a sweetheart (this is not that big of a deal in the world of wedding dress alterations). I like the second dress okay but I think the sash bisects you in a weird way. Whereas your figure looks smashing in that Maggie!

    Maggie dress and go for the alteration of having the sweetheart neckline.

    That'd be perfect.  Maggie fits your shape and makes your curves rock.

    I definitely agree with the majority, both are gorgeous. BUT I think the first one is very flattering & makes your waist look tiny. I was also thinking about getting a dress with a ribbon around the waist because it's so darn cute, but found that without the ribbon, I personally looked better. Hoping to find a ribbon dress for my shower or rehearsal dinner or something!!!

    I love the 2nd one. I think it fits much better around the bust area and you look much happier wearing it!! And, I love the lace and the sash.
