I have two gowns that I really love. The first is more fun and unique, and the second is more traditional and romantic. I cannot decide which i prefer. they are both lovely and cost about the same.

I have two gowns that I really love. The first is more fun and unique, and the second is more traditional and romantic. I cannot decide which i prefer. they are both lovely and cost about the same. Dress #1 is a bit large on me in the photo so it would definitely be more fitted if i ordered it. and Dress #2 ran a bit small so is a bit tight on the hips.

I would add a small glittery or flowery belt to Dress #1 and I would add a flower to Dress #2 on the hip area. I also would add a layer of blush tulle to Dress #2 because Im really loving the blush shade in general.

The wedding is in August at a farm/garden outdoor venue. I am an artist which is why i really like the fun whimsical ruffles - they have a lot of great movement to them and have blush color mixed in. But I also really like the soft romantic and traditional feel of the second dress, especially the lace trim at the bottom.

Neither of these photos do the dresses justice! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

    2. Ruffles are going to look dated in your photos in the future. I had the same dilemma.

    I don't know. I think they're more similar than they are different. I like the bottom of the first one better with all the ruffles, but I like where the bottom of the second one hits you.

    I don't care for how the bottom of the first one comes up in the front, but I think that dress will be more interesting in photographs.

    EEEEK, my opinion. . .keep shopping. Sorry.

    Wow, you look amazing in both dresses so I'm having a hard time deciding for you!!

    I'm thinking number one- You said you are an artist and you love the blush in the dress.

    It'll cost more money to alter #2 than to go with what you already like in #1

    The second one. There's something about your body language in it that's different. They are both lovely but the second is definitely my favorite on you!

    They are both beautiful, I can see why you can't decide! I love the way number two looks at the front, but number one is much more interesting in the back. I think I'd choose number one.

    #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smiley smile

    I think #1 has a better transition between the bodice and the mermaid ruffles. #2 looks really sudden. I actually think from the photos #1 looks more romantic too. The play in textures in #2 is fabulous!
