    I LOVE the gown you actually purchased.  It just looks soft and flowy and it fits your body perfectly.

    I think the other one has too much going on.

    Stick with the one you bought!

    I like both! But I prefer the flowy aspect of the one you got though.

    I'll be honest... Your purchase gown is beautiful, but I see how the dream gown as that extra "oomph" by being accentuating your curves more.

    i think if you sweatheart the first dress it would beat out both of them :)

    I think the pickups on the second one are a bit much.  That's probably more my personal taste than anything bad about it, though.  While I really like the bodice of the second one, the first one is so flowy which I love.

    I really like the purchased gown more too.  They both look beautiful on you, but I just like the purchased one a bit better.

    I prefer the one you purchased. I'm not feeling the pickups on the other dress.

    I really like the purchased one better.  The dream gown is too "cake frosting"-like for me.  You look great in the first one!

    The one you purchased is the best, I think. To be honest, I don't actually like the 'dream dress', I don't think it does much for you.

    Thanks Ladies! You are making me feel better about my purchased gown. :)

    I forgot to add something - I am altering the Purchased Gown to a Corset Back. It fit really great, but I do plan on losing weight, so with the corset I will be able to have that tighter, sexier look. It will be similar to the picture below.

    Allure wouldn't do the sweetheart neckline, not sure if I should trust anyone else to do it, since the designer didn't feel comfortable doing it.

    Thanks again everyone :)
