Hi Girls I had my first appointment today at the bridal store. As some of you may remember I am getting my aunty who is an ex-fashion designer to make my dress. But I wanted to try on differnt styles to see what was most flattering / suited me the most. Ok with out further ado ... Dress 1

Ok excuse my facial expression in the last one! Right, my second style is below. As you can see it is a completely different style. If I did have a similar style to the one below i would have little cap sleaves and definetly not strapless. ALso I would just have white and not this pink shade, but they did not have any other colour at the store.  _____________________________ |

Ok so I guess my question is which one is better and why. One style is more casual and less formal and I can see pro's and con's to both. I guess my problem is dress number one is too plain and dress number two may be a bit fancy. My plan is to discuss with my aunty about creating a fusion of the two ie. staps and neckline of number one and ruching and puffiness of number two. I am concerned with either style that I will look back and think either: Dress 1 - It was soo plain and I really love the princess style of number two Dress 2 - It was waay over the top Opinions? Has anyone else had a similar dilema?? _____________________________ |

That is exactly what I thought just by looking at your pictures before I read your post!! I love this one by Maggie Sottero, you might be able to find it to go try on for reference!

I think the style of number 2 suits you better, although number 1 is also lovely. Plus, you look really happy in 2!

I think the first one is really beautiful and more flattering on you! But my sense of style is definitely "less is more" - I like simple, sleek styles and think the second is too poofy and over-the-top for my tastes. You wear it well, but I just don't love the dress. I also really love the third one that shimmer posted (Marilyn). You're so lucky to have a family member that can make a dress just for you!

Both are very flattering on you! I agree that I like #2 more. I don't think it's too over the top at all.

I like them both on you. I'd try for a combination - some kind of wrap/ruching at the waist, which seems flattering, a sweetheart neckline, but I'd also go for sleeves or straps of some kind.

I like number 2 on you but I love the top of number one. That's so cool that your aunt is making your dress.

They are both nice! But I think #2 has more "oomph" than the first one. #2!!

I think that number one is more flattering on your figure. But, if you want a little "more", then I'm sure your aunt can add to the design! Good Luck! |

I prefer the style of number 1 on you! But I agree, you're aunt could add a little more oomph to it. I'm sure she'll come up with a ton of ideas! It's just the basic shape you're looking for now remember.

I think I prefer number 1 on you, but honestly, both are gorgeous. Are you going to try on any more dresses?

Asymmetrical ruching does WONDERS for women. If you have a chance, you should try one of these styles on as a small amount of ruching does great things...too much and it adds bulk around the waist: Maggie Sottero Vienna Maggie Sottero Dion

I personally prefer the neckline and shape of #1... You could add extra embellishments with beads, lace, rhinestones, etc... I just think of it as a more classic, timeless look and a lot less prom-like (eeep! Don't hate me! I had a poofy prom dress & still have nightmares about it)
