I really like the 2nd gown from the new batch. (I know 2 and 3 are the same!) I just think it looks FAB on you! Perfection! Which is your favorite?

 

[trillionaire]

got it! I think both look really great, to be honest. I like the back of number 2 (more airy and romantic), but sans pedastool, I think one and two (second batch) are neck and neck! Would depend on the height of your shoes I suppose...

The all look lovely on you. But I think number one of the new batch is my favorite. It''s not heavy which was my thought of three and four from the first batch. You have a delicate figure, you are getting married outside and I think this one has a nice amount of glitz (which you wanted) but stilll manages to look really delicate. YOU are wearing the dress in that one, not the other way around. I love that cut on you too.

I can''t pick between the newest two. I like the detail of the first one and I like the silhouette of the second. And I think that if the second were proportioned right it would look much better and not shorten you at all.

So, how high of heels are you thinking?

I love the new dresses that you posted.I love the front of the first one and the back of the second one! Do you love either of them?

 

[AmberGretchen]

I think the new batch, first one, is far and away the best of all that you have tried on. It looks like it is actually proportioned much better for your figure than any of the others, and, as Gypsy said, it looks to me like the only dress that you are wearing rather than it wearing you. Its just lovely on you

Wow!

I love your second batch! I think they both look great on you, but I would choose the second one. I think it blows the first batch away!

kim, where are you located? if there is a place that carries amy kuschel dresses, you may want to check them out. i am pretty petite and found my dress at their main location in SF.

i think if none of the dresses make you go - WOW, then you might want to keep looking. i had picked a dress that i liked but didn''t love and ended up with an amy kuschel that i LOVED and was so excited to wear. it took awhile to find it but it was worth it

From the second batch, my vote's definitely for #2.

ETA: I like this one the best out of all the dresses you've posted so far

redrose, trillionaire, Gypsy, Freke, bee*, AmberGretchen, choro72, ringster, pocahontas, thanks for your opinions on the new gowns!

Of the new batch, both felt wonderful as far as flowiness and weight. I also think they make me look taller than the first batch did, so I think no dropped waist may be the way to go now. I was more wowed by #2 because of the gorgeous lace and the shape. But, I have the feeling that without wearing really high heels, the mermaid shape will shorten me, so #1 might have a more flattering shape in the end. I also think I''d like #1 even more if the two lines of beading were each a little thinner, although that might be because the bust doesn''t fit right now, so they look a little like they''re overwhelming the bust area.

trillionaire and Freke, as far as height goes, I''m planning on wearing at most 2-inch heels, but I''m actually considering ballet flats too (going for comfort first). I''d like something high and comfortable at the same time, but platform flip-flops don''t feel wedding-y enough for me.

Gypsy, you''re right that #1 of the new batch isn''t heavy, which I loved about it. It was so flowy and light. 3 and 4 from the first batch were actually pretty light, though, and 1 from the first batch was by far the heaviest.

ringster, thanks for the suggestion of Amy Kuschel. Your gown was so lovely! I haven''t ventured to the city yet to look for wedding gowns, mostly because it''s a pain to BART or drive there, but I might end up going there after all. I think Amy Kuschel may be a bit over my budget, though.

Mermaid is tough, but so sexy! I love the 2nd from the new batch!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

I really like the second and third ones from the new back! I really love the way the third looks on you for some reason.

ETA: Woopsie typo!

thanks Kim ! amy kuschel always has a rack of samples on sale -- my dress was a sample (in great condition!) and ended up being half the original price. i let them know my budget and the sales assistant did a really really good job of picking flattering dresses. so, you never know!
