Ball Gown or Sheath?

Alissa, on March 14, 2017 at 1:28 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 47

Ok, so back in Oct I tried on dresses with the family. The lady at the store was pulling a lot of dresses that I didn't find flattering on my shape at all. I wasn't sure if I wanted ball gown or something tighter, but all the ball gowns she had flared out right at the waist instead of coming in again first. My sister pulled this sheath and her and my mom loved it, it was half off, and last one at the store (discontinued) so...I bought it but have never been 100%. Fast forward...lost a bunch of weight and needed it taken in...seamstress messed up the lines a bit (says it will be fixed by sat). So this comparison pic is me "pulling it in" to fit better. So...I also bought this ball gown as a back up but might like it better. Any thoughts on which dress??

    The dress on the left is gorgeous on you and flattering to your figure. It is very elegant and classic. I really don't like the dress on the right. Sorry, but it looks dated and like 2 different dresses were pieced together.

    The dress on the left looks great on you. Sorry to hear the seamstress messed it up.

    I think you should stick with number 1. It's super gorgeous on you and I don't think number 2 is as flattering on you.

    Thank you for the responses...just nervous because once the dress on the left was taken in it doesn't lay as flat and bunches on the sides a bit. Hopefully she will have it corrected in time Smiley smile

    Number 1!! You look beautiful. Number 1 looks elegant and older. Number 2 I think is very youthful.

    I like the ballgown. The top isn't something you see all the time and I think it fits you nicely-I like how it's tight through the waist and then flares (super hard to find by the way because that's what I wanted too) The sheath looks good on you too, but just a bit plain.

    Both dresses are beautiful. I like the left dress the best, but the question is which makes you feel like the beautiful bride you are?

    The first dress looks better. The second dress is lovely but doesn't have the same sophisticated feel.

    I can understand why she messed up the seams. Bias sewn seams are a bitch. But if she gets ir right that dress is absolutely stunning. Go with that one.

    I think #1 is way more flattering on you and I love the v-neck rather than the high neck
