    So, I'm still undecided about the dress. I'm down to 2 and not searching anymore. Now I just need to make a decision. Both dresses have similar details, but they have a different feel. One soft/romantic, the other more structured and classic. I LOVE THEM BOTH for different reasons. Which do you think suits my figure and style. Don't mind my hair in the second pic :S

    HELP!

    I think the second one is more flattering in the pictures you've posted, but you're right, they're both absolutely GORGEOUS! I also think I like the all-over lace instead of the pattern of lace on the first one... even though the first one is all floaty and romantic. So yeah... I'd go with the second.

    This is tough...both look really nice on you...but for some reason, my eye is drawn to the second dress. I just asked my FI, and he likes the one on the right on you too!

    I think maybe the second is more figure flattering

    They both are beautiful dresses but I like the second one best on you.  The first one seems like too much for your petite frame.  The second one matches your figure perfectly.

    Normally I would say go with the more form fitting one, but for you I REALLY like the dress in the first pic! It's just such a perfectly unexpected dress. Also, make this post into a poll. I know some users (myself included) like to just vote on things without commenting. A poll might give you a higher number of responses and more honest opinions. Good luck!!

    Ok first of all you look beautiful and I'm sure you'd look great in a potato sack.  Having said that, I agree with miss.skinner!  I like the placement of the bow better in the second dress much more than the first-I like how it gives you a more natural waistline.

    Both are absolutely beautiful, and you look beautiful in both, but the second one really caught my eye.  Either way, you'll look great!

    Your figure looks better in the second dress, but you look so floaty in the first... I'm totally torn. Sorry!

    I really like the dress on the left for you.  It's a little more unexpected.  I feel like I've seen various versions of the dress on the right too often.

    I love both of them! However I feel that the first gown is a bit more trendy, especially for 2010! And the other is very classic and timeless...So I think it should maybe depend on the setting of your wedding and if you want to be trendy or more classic on your special day!

    Good Luck...You look gorgeous in both!

    i would pick the first but im going to say the second because its more flattering in picturs.  while the first might be flattering in real life, TRUST ME my epics got screwed up from a loose fitting dress because leaning over in some shots i look PREGNANT!!  and you dont want to do that if you arent pregnant!  the second is also more timeless i think!  and it looks great on you!

    No offense to jslsbride, but I don't think there is any way anyone will mistake you for pregnant in that first dress! I prefer the first dress because it's a little less traditional and unexpected as other people have said, but you do look amazing in both. It seems like in this case it really just depends on your personal sense of style - are you a more traditional bride? Then you should probably choose the 2nd. But if you want something a little more unique, go with the first one. You really can't lose either way!!

    Ok I totally shouldn't count, because I'm wearing the Karena Royale! But all the same, I think you totally rock the Maggie dress. The structure shows off your awesome body!

     

    PS thanks for posting the picture! I've been freaking out about how it looks in all ivory, since I tried on the one with the brown ribbon. but i'm so glad to see it looks PERFECT!!

    Ughhh this is so tough!!! I remember when you posted the first 3 pics a while back and I had really loved the Casablanca on you :) I think that you will make a great decision no matter what because they are both gorgeous on you.

    I voted for the Maggie this time because it shows off your figure more, but I still love the Casablanca on you! Good luck!

    Thanks to EVERYONE that replied.  ou guys def. gave me some things to think about. I've made up my mind, I'm going to go with the Maggie! The only thing I'm going to change is the corset in the back, I'm going to have it replaced with a zipper. I'm SOOO excited - ordering it tomorrow!

    Thanks!!!!!!

    You made a great choice! But both dresses are absolutely gorgeous and BOTH look stunning on you! At first glance, I immediately liked the first one because it's the type of dress I want, but before I voted, I took a longer look and realized how the Maggie fits you like a glove! I chose the 2nd one. Just stunning!

    Edit: OMG, I just realized the first one IS one of the dresses I love. Seeing it on someone and still loving it made me realize how much I like the soft look of it. Thank you!

    You know, I nearly went with the Casablanca 1900 (in the end got the 1869), but this Maggie Karena is BEAUTIFUL and really suits your figure!!

    The second one is much more flattering on your figure! (I hope I voted for the right one in the poll...it was hard to tell)

    For me it would definitely be the 2nd. So much more flattering for your body.

    I think that the second flatters your body much better too!  The first looks like a dress that someone who is pregnant would wear to cover their baby bump.
