Help me pick!

Kayla, on February 8, 2015 at 4:01 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 39

Hey ladies!

So, I bought my dress about a month ago. I started out with a satin strapless mikado ball gown, then I exchanged it for a tulle ball gown with an illusion neckline. I loved this dress, but it just wasn't right for my body. I looked so square in it and after I purchased it I just had so much regret.

So the lovely ladies at David's Bridal are letting me exchange yet again. I tried on some A-lines and I am just in love with the shape this style gives me. I have narrowed it down to two, and I am completely split! So, I need your help.

I would order both dresses in white, fyi.

Help! (Pics coming in comments)

    Dress A is lovely, and my BMs favorite. It is also $300 less than the dress I have now, so that means I could add in my slip, the sash, and maybe my veil and still hit an even exchange.

    Dress B is gorgeous. It is $150 more than the dress I currently have, so I would have to pay on top of the exchange, which I am fine with. This is my mom and sister's favorite.

    Apparently I am all about the lace these days.. I love dress #2! I think you could get away with a slightly thinner sash and it would look stunning!

    I like the second one, I'm a fan of more lace. It looks really beautiful on you!

    On #A, I think the sheer overskirt looks like an afterthought -- like it's just stuck there for no good reason.

    On #B, the overskirt looks more on purpose, maybe because of the detail on it.

    They are both beautiful dresses. Either one you choose, you can't go wrong.

    I like B better. The first one looked like it gathered the sheer fabric in the middle like a loin cloth. Except... You know... Not a loin cloth lol.

    Dress B is so flattering on you. The lace is so lovely and the sweatheart neckline is truly stunning on you. It might stretch the budget -- but you do look radiant in it.

    I like both, but definitely prefer the lace dress. I love me some lace. Looks very pretty on you.

    Second dress.

    The tulle layer on the first dress looks sparse and cheap.
