I need help choosing between two christening gowns. DH and I like both dresses, although we have different first choices. I have seen the first dress in person at an outlet mall, and I have a 25% off coupon for that store that expires Tuesday and makes Dress 1 about $10 more than Dress 2. I really like the design of both dresses, but am nervous I haven’t seen the second dress in person and do not have details about its construction.
I would love to know which dress you would choose and why.
Descriptions from sellers:
Dress 1: This timeless white silk dupioni Christening gown has a beautifully smocked bodice with ecru hand embroidery. The gown is finished with tucks along the skirt. Matching hand-smocked bonnet included. Lined. All Strasburg Children Christening Gowns feature French seams (which eliminate raw, "itchy", edges on inside seaming), hand hemming, hand embroidery, feather stitching and/or hand smocking - all of which are standard elements of a Strasburg Creation.
Dress 2: This beautiful gown is part of our new ''Laura Ashley'' collection. Elegant 26" Silk Dupioni Gown with Beaded Lattice Bodice and Smocked Waistband. Includes Matching Bonnet and Separate Slip.
