    Both are lovely, but I'm more drawn to #1.  Do you have pics of YOU in the dresses?  That makes a huge difference.

    @ ddubzz

    I dont have a picture of me in the dress.  I was all set on dress #1 but today I just happened to try on dress #2 and now I'm confused :-(

    Definitely dress 1, unless it looks way different on you than on the model (they do that! I couldn't believe how differently things fit me...)

    Dress 1 made me drool.  I love the fabric and flowing-ness of it.

    Wow, you have two beautiful dresses to choose between. I think that the second one says "vintage garden" more than the first one. It's so unique and I love it!

    I think you need to take some time to really think through WHAT aspects of each dress you like... maybe even write it down and compare. They're both beautiful, especially for your theme but they have some big differences too!  Good luck!! I'm sure either one will be gorgeous!

    I don't think dress 1  looks "vintage" actually. I think that the votes are coming in because its very pretty but the second one is more theme-appropriate, IMHO.

    I agree with the other ladies. Dress 2 is definitely more vintage style. Both are very beautiful though!

    It would definitely be better to consider how they look on you though.. I love my dress on me, but don't like it so much on the model!

    I think dress #2 has the vintage look.  But they are both beautiful... see which one YOU feel most comfortable in and good luck! :-)

    Dress #1!  They're both beautiful, but my eye is drawn to the horizontal lines in the 2nd.

    They are both wonderful! But I voted for #2. I think it's much more vintage garden and I love the flow of it!

    Love #1 its gorgeous! I saw #2 on an episode of SYTTD, it's more vintage looking.  So I guess it all depends on what you are going for :)

    dress 1!  stick with your gut ... and go with the one you were set on, don't let the new one that popped in distract you.

    Although both are GROGEOUS, I like the second one best..it captures both the "vintage" feel as well as the "garden" theme.

     

    Good luck!

    Dress 2 is more "vintage" in my opinion, though the first is very pretty and flowy.

    I love both of the equally.  So I didn't vote.  :)  But #2 looks more vintage style to me.

    Love number 1! I think number 2 is more "vintage" looking, but at the same time I think either dress would work with your theme. Number one is so pretty and romantic I adore it!!

    Dress #2 is THE EPITOME of vintage garden. Dress #1 is also pretty, but #2 is the one that speaks to me.

    I'm in LOVE with #2. GORG. But like some people pointed out, the way they look on YOU and how you feel in them is what matters most!

    I think dress number one is just so dreamy and lovely.

    But you really can't go wrong!

    #2 screams vintage to me!  Both dresses are beautiful.  This is a hard decision...

    I think dress number 2 looks more like a vintage dress. I actually liked number 1 more at first but then when I saw the second picture of dress 2 I liked it better. I know it's hard but you're actually really lucky to have 2 dresses that you really love. I'm sure you will look fantastic no matter which one you choose. :)

    You definitely need to try them both on!  I tried on dress #1 (is it Alvina Valenta?) and I tried on several dresses similar to dress #2.  They felt quite different on.  And they'll probably look quite different on you as well.  You might find that dress #2 is more comfortable and easier to move in.  (I voted for dress #2, btw, because I think it's so romantic and unique.)
