Please help me decide which dress to choose

posted 3 months ago in Beehive

Hi there!  I've posted pics of my top two faves for my formal wedding.  The sample for #1 was my size so it's more obvious what the "final" dress would look like.  The sample for #2 was very big for me, so though the dress was clipped, it still didn't look right.

 Assuming #2 was my size, and price being equal, which dress would you choose?  Please help me decide.  I love the fit of #1, but #2 is a bit more "dramatic" and feminine.

 What's your vote?  Thank you!

Number 2!  I think it will fit beautifully in the correct size, and will then look much prettier than #1.  They are both pretty, but I think number 2 wins hands down.  Thats my vote!

I see why you had a hard time choosing. I can see why #2 has 1 vote, but I have to say #1. I think the ivory color flatters your skin tone more and the shape of #1 (albeit it's hard to really tell since it is already the right size) is more flattering.

I vote for number 2!  It looks a lot like the dress I have order from Sophia Tolli.. http://www.sophiatolli.com/CollectionProductDetail.aspx?cname=SophiaTolli&did=0&pid=501700&year=2007&season=Fall& though I am having the neckline altered to a sweetheart neckline.. a lot like your choices!

I love the fit-and-flare look better than the style of number 1.. I found it to look much pretty while moving/walking.  The fluffy skirt keeps the bottom dress away from your legs better one without as much fluff.. which means you will stay picture perfect all the time!

I agree about number 1.  I like the shape of the cups better and I tend towards simpler slightly less poufy things.  They're both good, I just like #1 a lot!

I am so in love with everything about #1! I think the color is amazing on you, if it's an accurate representation of both your skin color and the dress. The lace is really gorgeous.

#1 all the way!!! you look amazing it this one. the color, the shape, everything. plus the lace looks so elegant and well made.

#2 does not look as good. the white too white or something and the shape is not so great.

#2 - love the flare!

is there any way that you can get #2 in ivory? i agree that the color of #1 looks better, but otherwise i'd vote for #2.

also, i really love both dresses. could you tell me the designers (especially of #2)?

#1 just like the way it falls better and the color!

#1!  The shape is much more flattering and elegant.  #2 looks a bit too poofy -- and the shape may look more dated in a few years.  Mermaids go in and out, so I'd go with the less drastic of the two .... Remember the 80s?

They're both beautiful.

I really like the color of #1,

I don't think the color of #2 flatters you as well.

If #2 was in your size I think it would be more flattering.

My vote is for dress #2 in color #1 :)

#1 I think I perfer the slight mermaid instead of the poofed one. It looks very slinky and classic. The other style to me seems too much of a fad.

I vote #1!  Its classicly beautiful with a little twist because of the shape. #2 looks a little cheaply made next #1, to me at least!

#1 hands down

 but they both look great!

number 1 is classic and looks like it's higher quality

Thanks for the help!  melodicsighs1, Number 1 is a Legends by Romona Keveza dress from her 2008 (I think fall) collection.  Number 2 is by Manuel Mota of Pronovias and is called Cantaro.  Cantaro has sleeves and a ribbon, but we manipulated it so that the sleeves were tucked under and the ribbon was tied behind.
