Dress dilemma *flash*

this_cat_here, 8 February, 2015 at 07:19 Posted on Planning 0 26


Help! I'm seriously confused about my dress. Thought I was set on dress 1 (exactly what I had in mind, not sleeveless with a band at the waist)

I had a couple of other dress shop appointments booked so I thought I might as well still go along.

Dress 2 was the last one I tried on and I didn't expect to like it so much (is strapless and has a much bigger train than I though I'd go for). I love the corset style of the bodice. But it is a bit dearer than dress 1 by a couple of hundred.

If I want dress 2 I have to order in a week or so because it takes 20 weeks to come and I'm getting married in august. Dress 2 would be quicker.

I cant decide! Help!

    The dress you referred to as dress 2 appears first on your post so you may get some confusing responses. I personally think you had it right the first time with the one with sleeves, but the dress is very much my taste and you look great in both. Good luck.

    Oh my goodness, they are both so beautiful! I really can't help on the decision, but if you really love them both and can't split them, then you might be best just choosing by price? Think about which one you want your OH to see you in on your wedding day, or assign them both a side on a coin, flip, and see if you're happy with the choice ! Whichever you choose you're going to look beautiful on your wedding day. Let us know which you choose!

    Dress 2, as the sweetheart necklace and sleeves not only make the dress more elegant it flatters you and just looks amazing.

    Definitely the one with the sleeves and the belt. Both are nice but it just looks more elegant than the other one.

    The one with the sleeves definitely. It suits you beautifully, and I much prefer the look of the fabric.

    Hi! I vote for the sleeves one too, the fabric looks more photogenic, altho it's hard to say for sure from the pics! Beautiful, the sleeves are so feminine, and you look so happy in it ?

    Thank you everyone!

    Have been mulling it over all weekend and I think sleeves wins.

    Thanks for the photographer's point of view - I was thinking that with the strapless one, although there is a lot of detail of the dress, it sort of got lost in the photo (though i know it's only a phone pic)

    I would suggest going back and trying them on again directly after each other. It is hard when you like two in different shops as you can't keep swapping between them. Hopefully if you try them on again then you'll know.

    I think they are both beautiful and would struggle as well, personally I like the one with straps slightly more.

    Good Luck!
