One more for the ruffles!!! It is such a FUN dress and you look great in it!

However, as you already know it is more "trendy" than the other dress. I personally am totally up for trendy and fun pieces, but you just want to make sure you will still LOVE your pics in 25 years. Just wanted to throw that out there... but, if that doesn''t matter than go for it. It would be an amazing dress to dance the night away in :)

I love 1367.

You seem a little short for the ruffles, but it could just be the camera angle?

By far - the ruffle dress. It is absolutely divine on you! It looks way better on you than the model!

I prefer #1, its timeless and elegant
Ditto.

ETA: Love the Watters on you the best. The Mikaelas are numbers 2 and 3 (I prefer the one with the straps). And the pronovias....the ruffles look like they'd date date frankly and I don't like what they are doing for you from the back.

Last, but not least... Another Mikaella dress. I believe it''s style 1351.
I like this one best. It''s clean, pretty, and flattering. I seem to like simpler gowns though--the ruffled one looked pretty on you, too.

I'm totally biased though 'cause my dress also has lace and ruffles. Personally, I don't care that my dress will never be considered "a classic." I love it NOW and know on my wedding day I'm going to feel sexy and beautiful. Plus, I love that it's different and fun, and totally fits with my latin-flavoured DW. If you're still not sure though then my vote's for the Watters, strapless Mikaella, and then the strapped Mikaella in that order. Whatever you decide you're going to look fabulous 'cause you've the figure to carry all these styles. Good luck in your decidion and let us know what you decide.

Thanks all! I have to say that I learned a valuable lesson from this. To me, the Ruffles dress looks "meh" on the model, but looks much better in person!

Purrfectpear - I sort of agree with you. I''m only 5"3'' and I didn''t have any heels on with this try-on. My overall concern with Ruffles dress is that I''ll be an accessory to the dress. If that even makes any sense.

Gypsy - I sort of love the Watters dress. I think my only concern was it seemed a bit plain.

Kittybean & Deelight - I think you and I are on the same page. The beginning of this saga was that the Mikaella 1351 dress was the FIRST dress I tried on and I knew I was in love! But between the bridal consultant and my Mom shuffling me in and out of dresses, I didn''t get a chance to enjoy it. But when I tried on Ruffles, my Mom started crying and basically said I didn''t need to try on anything else because that was the one. I''m still a little torn because I like the ruffles, but I''m not sure if I LOVE it...

When I went back and snuck in the pictures, my Mom damn near cried (AGAIN!) seeing me in the ruffle dress. But toward the 1351, she''s pretty stone faced and expressionless.

Well, I''m still on the fence about this. I''m probably going to go back tomorrow (they are sooooo tired of seeing my face! LOL!) and add some more to the potential list. Keep you posted!

I like #1 better. I love the shape of #2, but thats too much ruffle for MY taste. Both will be beautiful, I''m sure!

OK. I lied. After seeing the dress on you, the ruffle dress is not too much ruffle, and looks AMAZING on you! SOO, I change my vote to the ruffle dress!

Diva - You are wear.ing the heck out of that ruffle dress! That one, imho, was made for you! Not everyone could pull that off. Once it''s altered and fits you perfectly it is going to be stunning!!

I didn''t like the ruffle dress when I saw it on the model, but after seeing the pictures of you in it, I think you could definitely pull it off! I think it had the most character (in a good way) of all the ones you tried on.

I think the Ruffle dress looks like it was made for you!!
I usually favor the simplier styles and really love the 1351.
Do you want a super fun dress of a classic one? IMO you can''t lose in any of ''em!

You look fabulous in ALL the dresses!!! I just can''t vote for the ruffles, though, because I do think it is a little on the trendy side and I like more classic, elegant looks (like the rest of them).
