Dress Dilemma

These are my final two gown selections. Each very different and leaving my very torn. The ball gown gave me "the feels" when I put it on.

These are my final two gown selections. Each very different and leaving my very torn. The ball gown gave me "the feels" when I put it on. It is simple, but I liked that about it and want to purchase an antique looking belt. However, my father thinks it looks like a prom dress and is plain, my best friends also thought it was a little plain for me (but support my choice). The lace piece, I also loved because it would compliment my body shape, wedding theme (rustic, romantic), and venue (an old cotton mill). Also, THAT TRAIN! However, no "the feels" (I still loved it though). This dress has the support of my friends and father.How would you choose?! I love them both for different reasons and will reason with myself until my edges fall out.side-by-sidecfb_1343341.jpgside-by-sidecfb_1343343.jpgexcuse my expressioncfb_1343345.jpgball gown side viewcfb_1343347.jpg

    You are gorgeous in both. My eye is drawn to the ballgown picture before I even read your post. And of you got the feels that is your sign, your instinct telling you what you need.

    Ball gown. Yesterday I said yes to the dress and I was also stuck between a very sexy tight gown and something romantic and a line. I went with a line . How often do you get to wear a bigger dress. You can wear tight sexy gowns to galas, fundraisers, Corp parties etc. I feel like if the right dress didn’t have a train it would be a cocktail dress

    You look amazing in both dresses! If you love the ballgown then I think that you should get that one. And like other people have said you will other occasions come up where you could wear a dress similar to the lace dress but only one chance to wear a beautiful white ballgown.

    I think the balloons will look perfect with a belt, maybe a veil. Yes it looks a little plain by itself but you aren’t dolled up yet! You can make it perfect.

    Speaking from experience, go after the one that gives you chills and the feels!! I settled for a dress that was “pretty enough” and now I’m getting a new dress that definitely gave me the feels. ♥️

    I personally think you look beautiful in both dresses. I’d say you should go with whichever dress makes you feel most like a bride. You’ll never get the day back and you don’t want any regret not getting what you feel you love. Your wearing it and no one else! I do like the simplicity of the ball gown too! Not too busy!

    Agreeing to go with the feels! The only opinion that matters is your own. How you feel in your dress is most important. Def does not look like a prom dress. Since it’s plain, you can glam it up with accessories and a gorgeous veil!

    Everyone has different taste, but I feel like the ballgown was made for you! Your proportions go great with it and it frames your beautiful face.
