Ok, so I’ve narrowed my dress choices to a top 2. They’re both Maggie Sotteros. They both have ruching which I love, and a corset back. The differences are the necklines and the option of cap sleeves. The Laurel doesn’t have cap sleeves, but if I get it, I MIGHT have them custom made as I am not used to wearing strapless dresses (although as I try this dress on more and more, the idea of strapless is slowly growing on me). If I got the Vivien, I would wear it with the cap sleeves. I think I wouldn’t need any alterations with the Laurel, except for the length. With the Vivien, I think the neckline sticks out a bit and would need to be taken in.
Which dress do you bees think looks better on me? The first pic is the Laurel, and the second is the Vivien.

I think they are both fantastic. The first one shows off your tiny waist, but I like the second one better, which also accentuates your waist and I think the top (bust and cap sleeves) is gorgeous!

I vote #2 even though they’re both great.

I think you can’t go wrong with either of them. I honestly can’t decide and I haven’t voted in the poll. They’re both gorgeous and you’ll be a very beautiful bride.

I think #2 makes you look a bit heavy on top – that might be because iut has to be taken in, as you said but I really love #1 on you.

I really like #2 – the beading on the sleeves is really pretty.
I don’t like the beading on the first one because it makes it look top-heavy.
(Totally the opposite of SweetAdelineXO. Hah!)

I voted for number one because I thought the sleeves weren’t as flattering. But I love Maggie dresses so both rock! 🙂

I think the top of #2 looks better, but I like the extra detail on #1 – not much help! They both are very flattering on you.

I vote vivian! I think that one has the wow factor on you..it’s gorgeous. I love all Maggie’s, they’re so flattering! Congrats on narrowing your top choices to two, that was so hard for me.

That is a hard choice! I think the Laurel- the straps on the Vivian are not as aesthetically pleasing. But, they both look great!

Thanks bees for all your input! If someone just handed me one of those dresses and told me I had to wear it for the wedding, I wouldn’t care which one it is! I love both, but I’m not going to get both as I might be wearing up to 2 traditional Asian dresses too.
