I am in love with both of these dresses. They are not alike at all but they are the same price. I don’t want to reach out to friends or family for their opinion because I do want them to be surprised and have the ooohh and ahhh factor, so I’m hoping you all can help me.

Things I like about the fit and flair- Beautiful details in the lace
- fit almost perfectly - I surprised myself because I was avoiding fit and flair dresses because I thought I was too short (5’ 3”).cfb_1484083.jpgcfb_1484085.jpg



Things I like about the ballgown- The train is amazing - Feels sexy but not scandalous- was the first dress I tried oncfb_1484087.jpg

    I always always say ball gown because your wedding day is the only day you get to be a princess. You can wear a mermaid silhouette anywhere. PS I bought the first dress I tried on

    I am normally very much a ballgown girl, but I just love the first on you. The back, especially, is so beautiful.

    That said they are both gorgeous so you can't really go wrong!

    Thank you so much Rabreena! I really took a lot of time and consideration into what you said. I never had thought about the bustle factor and all that. I decided to look at other dresses and found a different dress. This one is light and airy and I felt pretty good in it. I also had them show me what it would look like if it was bustled and I felt way better in it.

    Please note that the one I tried on is a bit small in the chest area but it will all be fixed when it comes in.

    I am so very happy to hear that you took time in order to consider what I had mentioned and it led to you finding a dress that you feel fantastic in!
    That dress is absolutely beautiful and looks so great on you!
    What kind of bustle are you planning on doing with your dress?
    I think the bust area looks fine and doesn't seem to be too small, but may not seem like it because of the angle of the picture.

    I think it was the angle. I was kind of coming in some areas like spillage out the sides, the girl was able to pull the straps a super tight to get it all in but I’m going to get thicker straps put on just to offer a little bit more support for the ladies and have the back brought up just a smidge. I know they don’t quite look it in the picture but I’m a 32GG (not by choice), so some modifications have to be made to support them.


    The bustle will be, I believe a traditional because the girl said it would be multiple hooks put at the waist area.

    Both look amazing on you. I actually had a ruffled mermaid dress mine was more like the second one which is your ballgown back. But what matters is which one YOU prefer.
