    Ok bees,

    I went and tried on some more dresses today and the more I try on, the more I confuse myself (they told me this would happen).

    Which do you prefer?

    TIA,

    Sarah

    I like the first one (but to be completely honest, I'm just not a huge fan of ruffles, so I may be biased!).

    I think they both look amazing on you, though!

    Number one!  Plus it has your "something blue"!  It's very pretty :)

    I would say the first dress, does it come in ivory? because I ink with your complexion that u would look amaxing in ivory.

    I like both! It depends on the kind of wedding you are having. If you're going for simple, laidback I'd go with Dress A. If you're going for more glamour and glitz, then I'd go for Dress B.

    Wow - I am going to disagree with the majority here!

    I love you in the second one - I went "ooooh" when I saw it! It is soft and romantic and I think the crisscross on the corset really narrows your waist and is very figure flattering!

    Yes, they both come in ivory-- that's what I would go with anyway. 

    And as far as the blue sash, I haven't decided if I would like to go with a color or if I would like to keep it the same color of the dress.

    Thank you for the comments, ladies!  Keep 'em coming!

    I voted dress B, because Dress A looks a little cheaply made (pointy breast pleats much!?) to me - maybe its just a matter of tailoring though. Both silhouettes suite you well. :)

    I really really really love the second one!  I think it looks much more flattering, but I can see where the ruffles would be one of those love em or hate em kind of things.  I feel like the longer fitted bodice on the second one is much more figure flattering and shows of your gorgeous curves!

    Just a little side comment...I find it intersting that most of the comments say dress A, but in the poll dress B is slightly ahead.  Weird!

    What mood are you trying to go for? They both are beautiful so you can't go wrong.. but to me the first is more simple yet still fabulous, and the 2nd one is more fun, unique, and trendy... I voted for the 2nd!

    I think B makes you look narrower in the torso area.

    I think both dresses are pretty and I can see how you're having a hard time choosing. I like the 2nd dress more, I think it's more flattering and I like the material. I think the 2nd one has a romantic feel and the 1st has a fairyrtale feel. Both are beautiful! You can't go wrong either way Smile

     

    I should also add that dress 2 photographs better. You won't have to worry about creases even on your big day.

    Y'know, I voted for A because I love the simplicity with the blue belt and B has a lot going on. But looking at the pictures, I can honestly see why you're having a hard time deciding. B does do great things for your figure and nips you in beautifully, and the crumbcatcher neckline is really fun. Shoot. Now I'm getting all confused myself. ^_^

    I guess I would vote A if you want to stick with timeless and B if you want to go for trendy. Which isn't much of an answer, but I think they both look lovely on you.

    I love the first one for you - the sash really accentuates your waist!  And I also like the cleaner line of the skirt with the first one.

    Wow, this poll isn't going to help you at all, is it? :-) It's almost totally even. I like dress A because of the defined waist. I think it's flattering. Dress B is pretty too (as you can tell from the equal poll numbers!)

    I like both dresses, but I like dress A more than dress B. I think A flatters your figure more than B. But I can see why you are having a tough time deciding because they are both beautiful dresses and you do look great in both. I guess it depends on what kind of look you are going for, if you want a more classic, simple look then go for A but if you want a fun, trendy look, go for B.

    I think dress A is more timeless, and dress B is more modern. I like them both on you, but I think B is more flattering

    I didn't vote for either one....

    Dress A is definitely more flattering on you OVERALL than Dress B - but I think if you combined the two you'd be even better off.

    The top half of Dress B is REALLY flattering to your waist - it makes it appear much smaller, but the ruffles end up almost reversing that effect.  If you were to find something with the similar rouching in Dress B, but with a more simple skirt like Dress A, I think it would look FABULOUS on you!

    Good luck!

    Hmm I think they are both beautiful but not sure if you have found the one.  Have you had that wonderful feeling?  If you have not, wait for it.  Believe me.  I almost settled and when I went to order the "ok" dress I came across MY dress.  It was so worth it!

     I would love to see a sweetheart neckline and beautiful grecian rushing.  Play up the fact that you have curves and the models in the ads probobly don't. I am also curvy and found that rushing, corset backs, and sweethearts give a beautiful hourglass figure.  I was surprise how slimming a trumpet silouette was also. I had fun looking at the new Maggie Sottero dresses online.  I think they just came out.  I could totally see these on you.

    Can you tell that I have already gotten my own dress and miss shopping?  haha
