    Hi Bees,

    Could use some help. Suddenly I feel like I am second guessing my dress, wedding band, etc.  Pretty much everything except who I picked to be my groom :)

    I bought a 2nd dress this weekend after I tried on my 1st one again and caught a glimpse of myself from the side. NOT flattering with my body.

    Maybe I just won't like any dress on me.  So frustrating.

    Which do you like better on me?

    Aww, girl, don't get frustrated! You look beautiful in them both.  I think the detailing on dress 1 serves you just a little better than dress #2, though I think both are wonderful!!

    Thanks ladies.  I feel like Dress ONE sucks me in more and shows a more defined waist.  But I need to try on Dress 2 with all the "gear" underneath.

    Dress one makes you look super skinny! Dress 2 is not as figure flattering, IMO

    I agree with dress 1!  I like the dress overall better

    Dress 1 definately highlights your body :) Both dresses are beautiful, but dress 1 is just more of a wow dress :) And I really like the neckline.

    i think dress one gives you a better shape and it gorgeous. dress two doesnt really have any wow factor in it.

    I actually like the 2nd dress better than the 1st. They both look nice though!

    Maybe it's just the sample you tried on, but the first one looks pretty wrinkled (or is it supposed to be that way?)  Essentially it looks like it has horizontal lines across your body, whereas #2 has very flattering asymmetrical lines on it.  #2 also hold your "girls" up nicely and gives them a nicer shape!

    @MadameTussaud:  Agree. One of the reasons I started to doubt the first dress is the concern that it would start to look wrinkled as the day goes on (even if it was steamed).  It definitely has that effect because of the material and how it runs along bottom.

    I think dress 1 is more flattering to your figure. They are both beautiful

    I like the sparkle on dress two as well as the overlap fabric across the waist.
