Wedding Dress help!

[VAbride425]

Hi! I''m brand new here! I just got engaged in September, and we have set a date of April 25, 2009....only 7 months away! So immediately I went dress shopping of course but now I''m torn between these final two!
The wedding is at 5pm outside, followed by an indoor reception all at a Country Club.
Help me decide!
I don''t know how to attach multiple pictures, so be patient with me!

Sorry to break up posting, but so far I think number one is very pretty!

I noticed your name, are you from VA? That''s where I am from!

 

[VAbride425]

Yes I am from VA, I''m in Charlottesville! What about you?

 

[oobiecoo]

I definitely like the dress in the first picture best! The lace on the front is very pretty!

This is a shot of some of the detail on the train of the second dress. Also, both of these I would order in White, but they are pictured in Ivory.

Definitely #1! It flatters your beautiful figure much better than #2!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Hmm..I am still voting for number 1! I love the detail on the top, two is really pretty..but I like number 1 more!

 

[purrfectpear]

I like the first one best. It does need to be fitted a bit better in the bust area. I think it''s very classic and quite nice

 

[ilovethiswebsite]

I like number 1 except I am not crazy about the belt. Can you take it off and put a sash on?

 

[kittybean]

I like the first one--it flatters your figure nicely, and once it''s tailored to you, will look even prettier. The second is nice as well, but the first one is the clear winner in my book.

 

[VAbride425]

Thanks for the help!!
I really thought I liked dress#2, but everyone, bridesmaids, you lovely ladies, and other friends like number one....so I have some thinking to do, I might have to drive back and try them on again.
Thanks so much for all your input! keep it coming!
and Yeay for Virginia brides Wahoowa!

 

[ilovethiswebsite]

it''s so hard to judge based on one pic... you should post more! maybe #2 is nicer!

Sounds like a good plan to me! Nothing wrong with going and trying it on again, sometimes it takes a few tries.

#1!!!!

 

[Diamond Confused]

I like both but I think you look shapelier in the second one. The lace on the second hides your curves a bit.

 

[pocahontas]

Definitely #1 - I think the fit is much more flattering and really highlights your small waist beautifully.

ETA: I really like Ilovethiswebsite's suggestion of a sash

 

[Sabine]

Definitely #1! Although you look like you are super tiny and have no figure problems to worry about, the material of #2 doesn''t show this and just doesn''t lay nicely!

 

[MishB]

No. 1 by a long shot, I LOVE the belt!

 

[kama_s]

I love #1, the sash belt with the brooch looks awesome! I love anything lace, so my opinion might be a tad bit biased!

 

[Morgie44]

Another vote for number 1! I think that it is laying much better on you. Maybe this is because the sample isn''t the right size? Either way I love number one it is very classic but still modern and much more appropriate for an outdoor wedding.
