    i tried on some dresses this weekend, but i'm not completely in love with the styles. i do have a preference of fabrics between these two posted, but i want to get an opinion on which one everyone else thinks looks good on me. i had my two bridesmaids come with me and they had a preference for one over the other. i'm so confused which style i like more. help! haha. Smile

    I personally like the first dress better. Now tell me which one you liked. Tongue out

    hmmm...I think i like the shiney dress (medress2) best. Is it just between these two dresses or are these just dresses you tried on, neither is The One? If neither pop at you, keep trying on dresses! Go until you find one which takes your breath away! :)

    I like #1, but both are pretty.  Depends on your taste.  Maybe you should add a poll to this post so people can vote?

    If you're not completely in love with either style, keep shopping!  There are so many wedding dresses out there.  You'll find the one.  Enjoy the process!

    no, i just want to get an idea of which type of fabric or style looks better on me. neither of these dresses are "the one", but i do like the style of both of them for different reasons. i like the chiffon fabric, but i hate the bow and ribbon (which they can alter for a fee). i also like the silk, but that style is discontinued and i'd have to buy the floor model, which i don't want to do. i'm also not completely in love with that dress, but i do like the style of it. both of them are maggies, medress1 is a sottero midgley and the other is just a maggie.

    i just want to see what people think of the cuts and styles on me. i am loving the gathering at the hip, because it hides my hips! haha.

    Just want to clarify, I like the shiney dress, too. It was the first photo that showed up to view, but I now see it was numbers as #2 so that is a little confusing.

    I like dress number one on you the best; however, if you don't like either one, I would keep looking. It is your day and you are the one that needs to be happy.

    Yes, that hip gather is very flattering!  I also like the detailing on the bust of both dresses.  My own dress is very plain on top and I'm thinking of having the bust remade...

    here's a close up of the detail on medress1, we didn't get a close up of medress2, which stinks, because i think i could find it online better that way! haha.

    @bubblybride - me neither! haha. i really like how delicate the beading and lace is on that dress, part of me is definitely leaning towards this dress, but there's just still something i'm unhappy about. i think it's that stupid ribbon that they had to cut into the lace to put on the dress and the piece of drapey fabric on the bottom in the front. BOO! i like the gathering much more on the other dress, it's much more flattering on me!

    if only i could find a combo of both dresses! chiffon with more flattering gathering, delicate lacy beading, and no draping in the front. any suggestions anyone??
