So far it is between these two dresses. The first one is from a boutique, the sleeves turn into a bow and it has my fave type oof sleeves. But is is $800 more and has 0 sparkles (the belt was added for sparkle). The second one is from David’s bridal, my mom and I (mom is paying) love it, it is breezy (wedding will be in Costa Rica) but it is itchy and the tulle isn’t high quality. Does anyone know if there is a quality version of the second one? Is it worth an extra $800 for nicer tulle and not-itchiness? Help me pick a wedding dress! 1

If the second is itchy, I would go for the first one. You want to be 100% comfortable, and isn’t it humid/hot in Costa Rica? Plus it’s gorgeous and love the criss cross of the front and the lovely sleeves. If your mom feels comfortable spending the money, I’d say let her buy you the non-itchy dress.

I love the first one on you. And I was told that if the dress is too heavy/uncomfortable just trying it on, you'll be miserable on wedding day. Heat + itchy = probable rash

First one! You could wear a sparkly veil for some bling.

Being itchy is the worst thing ever.
And if I’m completely honest, I love that first dress on you so much more. You look happier and more comfortable.

Oh I couldn’t deal with an itchy dress. I really like the off-the-shoulder look, but I don’t know that I could handle that price tag.

While the design of the second is gorgeous and could easily be recreated in higher quality fabric, there is nothing worse than itchy tulle (or any fabric).
In the pictures you happier in the first dress as well.

Which one do you feel more comfortable in?? If the second one is itchy then I would say the first one. Did you absolutely love either one of them?? Could you see yourself walking down the aisle in either one of them?? Could you not live without either one of them?? I ask these questions to see if you had the "ah-ha" moment where it clicks.

Just based on how it looks, I like the second one.. but I'd say go for comfort if you're ok with spending that much more for it.
