I am totally addicted to dress polls on this site, but I don’t always hear how it turns out in the end. If you posted a poll here about your dress, what did you do with the comments you got?

Well I had no idea which dress to wear so I listened to all of the comments and ended up going with the advice I was given 🙂
I asked voters to decide between ballgowns/fit and flare. While the majority said fit and flare because of the shape it gave me, I didn’t feel bridal so I am choosing a ballgown!
This is a great idea for a poll! I’m going to follow this thread because I’m really interested to see how it goes.
I voted for the second option. I posted a poll with 3 dresses even though I already had a strong frontrunner. Although my fave dress got the least votes, I still knew it was the right one for me so I still chose it! It bummed me out a bit, but at the same time it made it even more clear that I was going to choose it no matter what!
I went with my poll loser because I think it was a crummy photo and the other dresses in the poll looked somehow better in the photo than in person. I’d almost talked myself into the poll winner until I tried it on again and couldn’t understand how I’d liked it at all. Also at my second visit to the salon I had my mom and aunt with me and they both loved the dress I bought, and kind of hated the others. That poll carried a bit more weight 🙂
I think photos are helpful to compare shape of a dress but the quality of the fabric is hard to see in a photo and for some of the dresses I’d considered it was immediately evident in person, in a bad way.
@jennmariee: Totally! I posted two polls, and in both cases the “winner” looked cheap in person. I did also realize that my favorite didn’t photograph that well, and while I loved it, I didn’t want to spend the next ten years explaining to people that “it looked different in person.”
