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

    10000% ball gown. You look stunning and if you got the feels from it, it’s the one. It may be plain but you can dress it up with a belt and jewelry on your wedding day. This day is you and how you feel in your dress. I think the lace dress has too much going on honestly.


    Good luck in decision makin dear ❤️

    The ball gown is amazing and you definitely want "The Feels" for your wedding. Regardless of the family and friends it's about you and how you feel. Get the ball gown and glam it up and if you can find something similar to the lace yet without the train wear the 2nd one to the reception.

    You look great in both. I absolutely love how the first one fits you. I’m sure you’ll look gorgeous either way.

    Go with the ballgown, it’s beautiful on you. Both are but if you feel like a bride in it. Then that’s the one

    I absolutely love the lace one, however idk I feel that the ballgown is stunning and has more of a wow factor than the lace one and I personally like how the ball gown looks on you more than the lace one. I also believe you should pick the dress that gave you “the feels” you dont want to look back years later and say damn I should have gone with the dress I really wanted. Good luck!!

    The lace one is absolutely beautiful and you can’t beat that train! That one has my vote. But you look beautiful in both of them! Neither one will be the wrong decision!

    If it feels plain, add the finishing touch with your veil or some more jewelery like a nice pair of earrings or a bracelet.


    I personally love both on you. Is doing a dress change out of the question?

    The lace dress looks like you are ready to walk the red carpet. The ball gown looks like you are ready to step out of a horse drawn carriage and dance the night away at a ball. I know that does not help much

    Like everyone else I think you look amazing in both dresses... and like most brides we know when we have found our dress... if the ballgown gives you that "Yassss" feeling go with it... but whatever your decision you will look stunning❤

    You look perfect in both, but go with the one that makes your heart flutter the most. And once the gown is dressed up with accessories, no one is going think it's a prom dress! Trust me, when you have that veil on, makeup and hair done, and a bouquet in your hands, you are going to be the vision of a bride.

    I vote the ballgown, you look very bridal in it. It complements you well and I think is give a wow factor the other doesn't. It is just timeless and classic.

    If the ballgown gave you the feels then that’s the one! no matter what anyone else said. they are both beautiful on you, but it’s your special day! my dress is also a ballgown shape, i definitely don’t think it looks like a prom dress at all

    Both are beautiful and so different. You look great in both dresses. Go with the ball gown because it gave you the feels! Are you wearing a veil? I'm sure your dad's opinion will change once he sees you in the ballgown dress with your veil. My dress was also super simple but once they put that veil on me, I knew it was my dress.

    I would go with the ball Gown because it gave you the feels. That feeling usually means that's what you cam honestly see yourself walking down the aisle in. You look great in both, though.

    Definitely go with the one that gave you "the feels". The will always be pretty dresses and they look good on you. But the one that makes you feel something, that's hard to come by! Go with your gut
