    Ok so here are the two dresses I narrowed it down to.  I ordered the WG9828 (fit and flare) yesterday because it was being discontinued and being sold for $299 and the SV415 (flower skirt) is advertised at $1050.  Yes price does play a factor for me.  But the more I look at yesterday's photos I am really liking the flower skirt.  I am looking for some honest opinions and some suggestions whether you like the WG9828 with/without the belt/flower.  Which David's Bridal Dress? :  wedding davids bridal dress poll dilemma wg9828 sv415 DSC00955Which David's Bridal Dress? :  wedding davids bridal dress poll dilemma wg9828 sv415 No Sash

    I like the second one - without the belt. Maybe with a different belt, but I don't love the current one.

    your poll is out of sequence with your pictures so that is going to skew your results. 

    Honestly I dont like the fit and flare at all but maybe its the sash. I LOVE the first one :)

    oh I just saw what you said about the $. I dont think the flower one is worth 1000....so I say the fit and flare that you already ordered and do a different sash.

    Ok I fixed the poll.

    I am trying to add the back of the first dress picture and the second dress without the belt but it's not letting me.  Any suggestions?

    Wow #2 looks exponentially better without the sash and tiara and veil and flower.  I think there was waaaaaaay too much going on with it in the first pic, it looks great in the updated picture!

    I really like the belt/flower on the second one.  It's much more sleek and elegant than the first dress, IMO, and if the price is that much of a difference, totally go with the second dress.

    i usually dont like skirts like #1 and usually prefer designs like #2 but for your pics i voted for dress #1 - something about the bodice and how it looks on you makes the flower skirt was my fav and i voted very non typical of me.  both dresses you look great

    I like the shape of the flower skirt better on you, TBH.  I think what's throwing me about the other one though is those sharp points on the sweetheart neckline.  Are you planning to leave them like that or try to tone them down some?  Also, I'm not a fan of the beading on the neckline.  If I were you, I'd stick with the fit and flare, but tone down the neckline to simplify, then add a sash like the purple one (but I'd go without the flower, maybe a sparkly brooch instead?).  Since you got the dress for such a steal, seems to be no reason you can't spend a little more on alterations, especially when the price difference between the two dresses is so huge.  Just my opinions- if you love the neckline, I don't think it's unflattering on you at all- just a little sharp for my personal taste.  You look great in both dresses.

    I love the first dress! I think it's more flattering because of the neckline, and I LOVE the skirt, very romantic and pretty :)

    I like number 2 best.  I am not a fan of the flower skirt style.  I think it is too trendy so 10 years from now when you look atyour photos you may not feel the same way about it.

    thanks everyone the feedback is fantastic.I have considered changing the neckline on the second to be a little more rounded.  the second one does seem more romantic and luxurious to me but as sheilad72 said i do worry about looking back a few years down the road and saying what was I thinking.

    The good thing is if I do decide for the flower one I can use the money from the fit and flare towards it.

    I bought dresses based on getting a good deal instead of the one I loved... and I had so much dress regret.  I finally went back and bought the right dress, even though I had to sell the others.  (Yes, others, plural)  I'm a bargain shopper and it influenced my wedding dress shopping.  I have never regretted spending the extra money on the dress I loved! 

    (sounds contradictory to say I'm a bargain shopper and that I bought more than 2 dresses... lol)

    That flower skirt is gorgeous on you!

    @jjmomma: I am a total bargain shopper and that's what made me choose the second dress but I feel like I need to go back and try both on and see again.

    Does anyone think dress 2 would look better if I had them alter the neckline to mimic a soft sweatheart neckline?

    @kayla107: Okay, I love BOTH dresses on you. The first one is a little more my style, so I lean toward that one a bit. But really, the second dress looks awesome and it fits you so well! I was actually going to suggest a sweetheart neckline, because I think that's one of the things I love so much about the first one. That neckline is really flattering on you!

    Hmm this is a tough call for me, I don't hate one or the other on you - I think that #2 is more flattering, but the flowered skirt is gorgeous on you!

    @kayla107: Yes, I think 2 would be way better if the neckline was better fitting--it's strangling you a bit as is--pull the sides down and make it a sweetheart and I'd be WAY more likely to like that one (especially with a sash)

    You look beautiful in either one, but I love the first one. I prefer to see it with a different sash though. I think it would be extraordinary on your wedding day with everything pulled together.

    Oh my Goodness - I hope this doesn't come off rude. But please please don't go with the second gown. You look amazing in the first flower skirt dress. The second dress doesn't even come close. I even signed up for wedding bee just to comment on this! Let us know what you decide!
