    So I'm down to 2 dresses. They are Very Similar in the way they are made. I've tried both on and the fit is similar. The Camille fits a little better, but I think the AA will fit fine once it's altered. I don't have pics in the first one b/c they didn't allow pics there. I do have pics in the Camille, but they're on my camera which I left at my Aunt's. I will pick it up next weekend. It's over 2 hours away. The first Alfred Angelo 2118 and the second is Camille La Vie.

    The AA is around $150 more, but if I order the Camille on Thursday I can get an additional 35% off. That would make it about $350 less. Price is not a huge factor though. Both are under my budget.

    I know it's better if I had real pics, but can you please just let me know which you like better. Thanks!

    Yay, I can see them now.  Though I like them both a lot!  I think I am partial to the flowers - I go back and forth on whether the beading is awesome or a little extreme, and I like the skirts better on the first one.

    I like the first one better. It is a little more interesting and the skirt is gorgeous. Im not crazy about the beading on the second one.

    Love the first one! I think the beading on the 2nd one is too severe...cuts the dress off exactly on the lines. The first dress, the flowers are subtle but still pretty.

    You cant go wrong with either. I did vote awayy from the majority it seems though. I liked the second one better because I didnt like the way the layers laid in the first. The second has this pretty whimsical feel to it. Its a feminine soft look.

    I prefer the first one! I love the flowers and I think the flow is more natural.

    I like the Alfred Angelo one better because I feel like it's a little more unusual (in a good way!). The lines of bling are very common in the wedding world (but still gorgeous, in my opinion!), and the way the flowers are done on the AA isn't seen as much. I do love the second one, too, though, so I can see why you're having problems!

    I love the flowers on the first one but the material of the second one - it's more flowy and bridal looking to me.  I couldn't vote cause I like a little something about both of them.  :)

    Dress one. I don't like the beading on the second dress either.

    I voted for the second one -- the Camille.  I thought it was the hands-down winner, but it looks like not everyone agrees!  I like the skirt better; it's a little softer and more romantic-looking, I think.  I also like the little bit of bling.  :)

    I like the first dress.  I think the detailing under the bust and down the hip mesh better with the overall look of the dress.

    I love the second dress--the Camille. The organza and beading detail are so beautiful.

    I love the way the first one flares out more. To me, that has such personality and fun to it.

    Hi ladies! Thank you all so much for all the feedback! It has been soooo helpful. I went back today and tried the AA on again, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! My MOH went with me, and she started crying. It gives me a feeling that no other dress does! Thanks again!
