So I have a bit of a dilemna. I tried on wedding dresses with my SIL and mom- and we narrowed it down to one dress…while none of us cried- it definitely had the strongest reaction from my mom. However, I also had the option to try on a dress from a friend- and she said she would give it to me. The dress is gorgeous and fits like a glove- but I’m struggling with deciding which dress I like the most. And I don’t want the fact that one dress is free to keep me from having a dress I truly love. At this point, I’m just not sure! So here is the question for all of you- dress 1 or dress 2??
Dress 1

Dress 2– Unflattering pictures…but it had been a long day!

I think #1 is more flattering, but mostly because of the sweetheart neckline. It would be really easy to modify #2 if you decide to go that route.

I like the neckline on #1 and the way the skirt kind of wraps around/rouches on the side. So from these photos, I prefer #1 — it’s beautiful on you! But as a PP said, they are similar enough that you *could* modify dress 2 to be closer to dress 1, if it’s worth it to you budget-wise. If the money doesn’t really matter, I’d go with #1 and not bother with trying to alter dress 2.

You could make #2 into a sweetheart, which would be more flattering, but I think the ruching on #1 is what seals it for me. Definitely #1.
