    Okay so I did this before with this dress and a Sophia Tolli dress... and now I'm doing it again. haha. So which one?

     

    ***Note*** Micah is the first dress, which may not be quite as flattering because in the second dress, I weigh 10 pounds less. So it be hard to distinguish between style vs. weight, but just so you're try and keep that in mind if I look "slimmer" in the seocond one...

    Also, sorry there aren't as many varied pictures of the second one. The back is buttoned and the train isn't as long as the Micah. It's more simple I think than the first dress, but it was hard to tell because it was so bound up, so the pictures wouldn't show it anyway.   

    Also, the first dress is about $1,100 and the second is about $3,000 =\

     

    Dress 1) Maggie Sottero Micah

     

     

    Dress 2)  Victor Harper VH101

    You look great in both of them, but I like the second one better as it isn't something I've seen before. Beautiful detail on it!

    I voted before even reading the post, so I didn't even realize the second dress cost more when I voted that the Micah looks much better. The second dress cuts you in half in an odd way. The ruffled satin looks out of place where it is so smooth, then ruffled, then smooth again.

    Im just being honest here, the Micah dress actually looks like it would be the more expensive one. Don't let your mind get clouded that just because one is double in price, that it justifies it as a better dress. I think the first one looks so much better on you IMHO.

    They both look amazing, but personally I like the victor Harper. I'm really put off of Maggie sotteros after trying some on. This one doesn't really strike my fancy due to the shiny material, I think the style is just a tad dated. But anyway they both look great on u.

    The Micah is beautiful. But I do love the picture with the woman in the white top sleeping? I laughed at that one.

    But seriously. the Micah is beautiful and you look amazing in it.

    Love the Micah and it looks so much more expensive than the other one! I'm shocked the other is 3x the price.

    The Micah is way prettier than the second one. The satin looks rich and nice and it looks like a way more expensive dress.

    There's just no comparison to me.  The Micah is AMAZINGLY gorgeous on you.  It's stunning, bridal, sophisticated, elegant.  It's everything a bridal gown should be.

    @CantWaitToBee:  Thank you!!! I'm actually going to the salon Tuesday to get it colored... I can't decide on what though! haha. It's not for the wedding... just for funsies. Platinum blonde was up there though!

    Here are the pics if you want to help me decide:

    @Treeline: 

    @Cornmuffin09:

    Hahaha that's my aunt. She and my mom were talking about Thanksgiving stuff and she did an "oh my gosh" and put her head in her hand and rolled her eyes kind of thing about my brother's MIL (or someone...), I think it was. I was trying to snap pictures before I took the dress off, so we were all done with it. She's very into the whole dress shopping thing though; don't let that expression fool you. She's welled up more than my mom. lol 

     

     

    Thank you everyone else for all the comments!! So helpful and nice!!

    I voted Too Close to Call.  With the first dress, there's something in the back of the dress that doesn't sit right for me - ar you pulling a layer round?  I see you're holding onto it and this could be the reason, otherwise it is gorgeous. It is stunning at the front.  With the second dress, I absolutely love the detailing around the top, but I think it would work better if it had a more sweetheart neckline, like the Micah.  I may look at the option of adding a similar embellisment to the front of the Micah if at all possible?

    @yanamari:  It looks much better here - in the first set of pictures it semed you were pulling some of the material round, but here it looks different.  I would go for the Micah, with the posibility of adding an embellishment like the second dress on the neckline.

    You look great in both of them, but just absolutely stunning in the Micah. It looks like that dress was made for you! I'm not a fan of the bottom of the second dress.

    The Micah looks FANTASTIC on you. I love the way it accentuates your waist and lengthens your figure. Also the fabric is to die for.  Buy it please! :3
