    Ladies this weekend Mom & I along with my Lil Princess went dress shopping, and it was a very GOOD experience. I tried on about 10 dresses and the first dress that I tried on was the one I have been really loving online & it was no surprise that I LOVED it when I put it on as well...it was the lead contender until the consultant brought me out a dress that she picked & NOW I'M TORN...so ladies please help which one do you LIKE

    Dress #1:

    #2 by far!  The first one is pretty too, but I guess I'm just a detail-whore, LoL... it was a bit too plain for me.  The second one has beautiful details.. it's more interesting.  AND it's more flattering to your figure.

    I'm confused as well. However, I love the simplicity of the first dress.

    I love number 2 on you, it hugs you in all the right places, whereas number one just falls flat until it flares at the bottom.

    I think dress one makes you look like a bride but I like the dress #2 for sure!!! You  could too with the second one but you dont have your veil on like you do in the first one so thats why I maybe said that you look more bride like in the first one. I would go with the second one, I CAN see a veil on you in the second photo and it would look beautiful!!!!!

    Both look fantastic on you!!

    With dress #2, I noticed your bust first. With dress #1, I noticed your figure. So I prefer #1. It makes your curves look more proportionate and elongates your body making you look taller.  I also haven't seen it as often as I've seen #2. 

    You're going to look beautiful no matter which dress you choose, so just close your eyes and imagine yourself walking down the aisle. Which dress do you see when you close your eyes?

    I love Number 1 on you. It is classy, timeless and looks absolutely gorgeous. I do like Number 2, but the girls are a little too out for me and makes you look a bit top heavy. Number 1 balances you out perfectly.

    both are beautiful and you rock both of them so neither is the wrong choice for me  - i think the runching on #2 is great (one of my fav designs) but i voted for #1 because it seems more classic and it gave me an awwhhh moment when i saw your photo.  they are both beautiful

    Both are really lovely, but I think #1 is so classy and elegant. Either one will be a good choice. Especially with your figure (the mermaid/trumpet silhouette fits you very well.)

    Tough call...  Both are really beautiful, and you look amazing in both.  Hmmmm, I'm going to go with #2, just because I like the little extra details it has.

    Maybe it's because #1 isn't altered properly, but it makes your hips look really wide and square.. the ruching of #2 is much more flattering, but honestly if you're not really in love with either, i'd totally keep looking. Stick with the style of #2, but maybe you can find one that's a bit more simple and has better coverage for your chest area. Take these pictures with you to your next appointment and show your consultant what you like and don't like, and they should be able to help you find the perfect dress!

    Both are amazing!

    One is more romantic and soft

    and two is sexy and show stopping..

    So it really just depends what look you are going for...good luck choosing and don't sweat it because it is win win!

    Dress #2 looks fabulous, I needed to order my dress a size up to hold in the girls which you might need to do too.

    You look great in both dresses, but I'm going to have to go with Dress No. 2! I think its much more soft and romantic, whereas dress no. 1 is very constructed and modern. I guess it all depends on the mood you are going for though.

    @special3782: I was thinking the same...if I'm not mistaken this dress was a size to small.

    #2 is very figure flattering and has that wow factor.  #1 is just okay, IMO.

    i can def see being torn - both dresses look amazing on you! i personally love the simple elegance of #1 but #2 does make more of a statement! are you having more of a glam, formal wedding or something a little bit more informal? i think the kind of wedding you are planning to have may help you make a decision!

    #2 for sure. Its super flattering!! The other one doesn't do anything for your shape, especially not compared to #2.

    I'm surprised, typically I would say #2 but for some reason #1 sticks out to me on you.
