Can’t decide between two dresses!

I need help deciding between two dresses.


I would be happy with either and like different things about each although the dresses are similar. I like the back and fit of the dress #1 but LOVE the detail of and overall front of dress #2.
Dress #2 I would have to pay to add the sleeves, buttons down the back, and fill in the side cut outs.My whole family with me cried when seeing dress #2.
Dress #1 requires no customizations.
Both are in my price range BUT there is a $1300 difference between the two.
Please give me your opinion and how to decide between the two. Can’t decide between two dresses! 1Can’t decide between two dresses! 2

    I want to start by saying the dresses are so similar, and both look great on you, so you can’t go wrong with either! But my personal preference is dress #2!

    Honestly they both look almost the same to me. I'd go with the cheaper one. You look great in both!

    And I just wanted to add, I wouldn’t waste the time or money lining the cut outs- you look fantastic in it as it!!!

    They look very similar, but I love Dress 1. It looks more sophisticated and classy than Dress 2.

    Both have vary minor differences. Personally I would go with the dress you cried in, but that’s me. When I found my dress I took one look at myself and started bawling. When I turned to my mother, not an emotional woman, she also was bawling. It was perfect.

    At first I was drawn to #2 but then decided I prefer #1. I know this is far from your mind now, but so many previous forums have commented on finding undergarments for dress type and I just don't see any way to wear anything under #2 with the side cutouts (slips, Spanx, underwear, etc.)

    I think they’re so similar I’d go with the cheaper one. The only real difference I see is that the lace is simpler/perhaps classier on dress #2.


    To the extent it’s a fit issue, once you order and alter the dress, it should fit like a glove regardless of which dress you pick.

    Both are completely stunning, and you literally can't go wrong. I think I *slightly* prefer dress #1, because I love the two seams down the front. I think it's really flattering to your shape. They kind of elongate your legs visually to me.

    I personally chose dress #1 lol. I just did straps instead of the off the shoulder. You need to go with what you feel best in. I remember the feeling I had in #1 and I also remember the feelings I had in dresses I just liked and thought were flattering. Go with the one you feel good in 100%

    Dress #2 seems to have better shape and a nicer train. I hope too that you settle on the one that makes you feel best.

    #1 is very beautiful and romantic and you look fantastic in it. I’d recommend getting the one you felt best in, and doesn’t require customization to make it feel or look good.
