Help can't decide ,

Well I think that that Duchess Dotty has more detail which I personally like, but I'm not sure how flattering the dropped waist skirt is.

The LouLou dress is a plainer dress but the beautiful waist detail really makes it IMO and it looks like a much fancier (expensive!) dress.

Just to add another into the mix... have you looked at Dame Dulcie??

I think buying it from a shop is overall better because i know i don't need to stress about the alterations etc...

i agree with the drop waist i can't see it being too flattering,

the loulou is very flattering and nips me in at the waist... i can picture my bridesmaids (age 15 and 39) in a 50's retro dress which matches the neckline etc of the loulou ? (bateau neck i think ?)

i showed my other half the bridesmaid dresses i had in mind last night and said i was concerned about the style and if they were too plain (all to get his views as its similar to the loulou), he said he thinks sometimes simple is the way to go

i think the lou lou would look great with some gorgeous shoes to show off too...

ahhh decisions going back to try the loulou on again later today !!

Sounds to me like you're leaning towards Lou Lou!! ?

And I agree there are some lovely 50s style dresses that will compliment it brilliantly.

I wanted the duchess dotty and was going to purchase until I tried on drop waisted dresses and they did nothing for me at all. Did you try any on and if so, what did you think of them? Are you tall? I'm very short and particularly short in the waist and the drop waists just made me look dumpy which is not a look you want on your wedding day xx

Oh,I always try it on ahead of time before purchasing it,this way seems more safe for gals..as thing will go worse if we can not exchange it to another one when we find out it is not the right gown..

Im short... only 5ft 2½

i went back to the shop yesterday and bought the loulou lb29 !!! omg... it was in the sale and they also gave me a £100 credit towards accessories, which i ordered a little bolero jacket which sits over the low back for the ceremony.

so job done.... ive got my dress... omg omg omg !!

Woohoo! I think you've made a good choice ?

The lou lou one is stunning! Great choice. I think sometimes the simple dresses look the best.
