    I had my 2nd bridal gown shopping yesterday and found 3 dresses I like so far: Maggie Summer Royale, Mikaella 1406, and Maggie Harlow.

    Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take photos where I tried on Maggie Harlow, but my girlfriend said it was totally ME! But I would love to see "real life" Maggie Harlow picture, can you pleae share? Smile

    Also, I can't decide which of the other two I like better...... I like the simplicity of 1406, but it looks more like a really pretty dress rather than a wedding gown. I like how the Summer Royale makes me look more feminine and "grown-up", but I don't know whether the bottom part of the dress is too puffy/wide (sorry, I don't really know how to describe it...)

    So, I need your help letting me know which of the other two I look better in, but please IGNORE the shoulder strap on Summer Royale, because I want to know your opinion on the fit & the style of the dresses on me without the strap (I might not wear the strap even if I bought the Summer Royale).

    Thanks bees!

    Mikaella. I feel like the Summer one IS too puffy.

    I have pictures of myself in Harlow. I tried it on as well. The sample was too small, so it doesn't look that great on me though.

    I like the Mikaella one a lot.  I think the neckline and rouching are very flattering and the dress just appears to be much easier to move around in than the Maggie dress.

    Love the Mikaella. Nice clean lines and you look awesome. Looks like a fun dress. I love the Maggie as well, however, I think it may just be a little to puffy.

    Definitely the Mikaella - it's gorgeous, looks great on you, has good detail. The Maggie looks a bit overwhelming.

    I agree, the Mikaella looks great on you! That's the one I'd pick, the Maggie just has too much going on at the bottom.

    I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I vote for Mikaella! Ever since that Summer Royale gown came out I've been in love love love with it - but I have to say that you just rock that Mikaella. It makes your body look amazing, and it seems that the Summer is kind of "wearing you". Maybe because that one is clipped on you, but still the Mikaella is just banging!!!!

    I bought the Mikaella 1406 so I vote for that one but that Maggie is gorgeous on you.  I just feel like the Mikaella makes me feel like a champagne flute and is so figure flattering.  I love it!  I completely see your point that the Maggie is more like a wedding gown than the Mikaella.  Have you seen the Mikaella bolero?  I don't know your opinion on those but that may help you make the decision.

    Thank you, everyone, for letting me know your opinions!

    Zippylef, thank you for sharing your photo! You look beautiful in Harlow.

    I still haven't found a store that carries Allure 8526 which I am dying to try on.... I am sure that, after I have a photo of me in Harlow and, hopefully, in 8526, I will have to consult your opinions again! Kiss

    I am going to be getting the summer royale dress too.  I also found it to be so huge on me with all of the extra material and clips all over it.  It is so hard to imagine what iti will look like on me once it comes in in my size. I AM SO NERVOUS about it but it is a gorgeous dress.  I dont think that the pictures of it do it justice when it is so big on us.  If you look at the pics of it on the model, it is a WOW dress.  I just hope it looks that way on me when I get it!  Did you make up your mine?  I do love the 2nd dress on you too.

    I think the Maggie is beautiful, it's so dramatic!! Go for it! The Mikaela is stunning too but I think it depends more on your personality, the Maggie is really "here I am!" and bold where as the Mikaella is a little more simple/refined. Where are you getting married? That might help you make a decision!

    Generally I love MS gowns, but I'm with most other posters... the Mikaela really suits you.

    mikaella is so much more flattering...I agree it looks like it was made for you!  If you want to feel more 'bridal', you can always do that w/ other accessories

    although you look gorgeous in mikaella i have to say that summer royale makes a bigger statement. If that's what you're looking for, I would go for summer royale.

    I don't understand why you would take the shoulder strap with the beautiful flowers off the dress?  The dress is made to have this strap on it because that is the focal point. 

     

    I would love to have this dress and i sure wouldn't take the strap off it!
