Hey Hive-
I am in desperate need of your help. I went dress shopping on Sunday and am having the worst time deciding between two dresses. They are both so different too, so it makes it even harder! I just had such a hard time saying no to any dress…I liked everything!
The first one (on the left) is a Soterro & Midgley Gown JSM1103. It is lace and I never would have dreamed I would like a lace gown. I wouldn’t have even tried this dress on, if it weren’t for my consultant who said, “You don’t have a choice…you are going to try this one on!”
The second one (on the right) is the Maggie Sottero Summer Royale. I have been dying to try this dress on since I saw it on a mannequin months ago (before I was even engaged). It is more plain than I thought I wanted, but the flowers add a little something extra!
Please help me choose which dress you think looks best on me. Thanks so much!

Try posting pictures, if you tried already make sure they’re a jpg, gif or png and that they don’t exceed the size limit :o) We’ll all be happy to help!

love the one in the left, you look stunning in both but in the lace one you look leaner and taller and your glowing…

I think you look good in both, but slightly better in the lace. However, I’m tempted to say this is because it is very hard for people with fairer skin tones to pull off whiter gowns, and the lace gown is a warmer color.
On the other hand, you might also want to consider the venue for your ceremony/reception. The lace, to me, has a more romantic feel and pulls less attention away from you. The other gown makes more of a statement.

I really like the second one (The flower). I think it looks perfect on you and is very figure flattering. It is also very youthful and fun but also very classy and elegant! 🙂
Good Luck! Can’t go wrong either way!

I should also comment that the lace gown was taken at a different angle than the flower one so I do appear a little taller in the lace one. We are getting married in a church and the reception is at the local reception hall. We are getting married October 9th.

Both are very flattering on you, but I am partial to the lace one! 🙂

The first one looks so much more special to me, the second one is pretty also. They are both flattering.

Wow, tough choice! Like both on you, but the second one shows off your figure more.

I like the lace slightly over the flower dress. It makes you look taller than the other dress. I think the part with the flower & its puffiness abruptly cuts off a nice clean line! But either one is pretty. 🙂

I love love the flower one. I’m not a huge lace fan and I think the flower one just makes a statement and feels more bridal to me (the train helps with that).
