    Trying agin- hopefully photos will laod this time.

    Any thoughts on these two dresses? One was much like what I had in mind, but the pther took me surprise and I love it. I love the neckline and long lines of one, and the fit and drape of the other. Both would be shortened to ankle or above for my outdoor, grassy, potentially muddy wedding. It's a second wedding so I don't want it be over the top, but not ho-hum either,,,

    Thoughts?? Thanks!!

    I think I like the first one on you best.  The neckline of the second one is really dramatic, but the skirt is just sort of ho hum, while the back of the first one is off the hook!

    First you look amazing in both dresses! They are both fablous so you can't go wrong either way. I love them both for an outdoor wedding and I think they both fit your theme perfectly. I would go with whatever one feels best. You definitely want to look beautiful on your wedding day (which both dresses already do) so I would go with whatever one is more comfortable. Let us know what you pick.

    I favor the second dress photos. The lines of the dress and the plunging neckline give the dress a little pizzazz - though it would look best long. The other, though you're going for that look, does not have any real special something IMO.

    I think the first one looks awesome on you!  The second one reminds me a little too much of a nightgown.

    I think the first one looks best on you.  It does come down to which one you feel better in though.

    well, I'm totally partial to #2, since that's my wedding dress, and I am completely in love with it :)  You look gorgeous in both.  I don't think #1 will look good shortened, though.

    i am going to say that both look great on you! but i don't like either of them shortened too much. the first one would look more awkward shorter than the second, to me.  If they were as-is, no shortening, I would choose 1.  If you have to shorten, 2.

    I 100% love the way the fabric is draped on the back of the strapless dress, so I am tempted to go for that.

    But since you said the dress will be shortened, I think the halter would be better for that.

    I love the first one on you. The 2nd one is lovely as well but there's just something about the first one that speaks to me :)

    I'm in LOVE with the first one...it compliments your curves so much better & looks like it fits more comfortably on you.

    I love the first one, but after reading that you would be shortening it, I am not sure if I would love it shortened.  I think the second one would be much nicer as a short dress.

    Normally I go for the v-neck styles and I do love the second one but I think the first one looks drop dead gorgeous on you!  Not sure about how it would look shortened though, that might sway me back to the second.  Huh, guess I'm no help at all!

    WOW!! I don't know if anyone who has posted will check back, but THANK YOU for the incredible response!! I'm really leaning towards the first one, even though I imagined myself in something like the 2nd. I totally agree though that it won't shorten  as well- I think it might work just above/at the ground?? The second one I think could work  various lengths, but it wouls also become less interesting to me...

    Thanks!! (but keep comments coming if you want!)

    Def the first one! The second one is pretty but not for a wedding. The first one looks beautiful on your figure!

    dress #1 is my choice (and i love the definition it gives your back) but i do think dress #2 does more for your boobs
