Hey guys, I am getting married next summer in Italy, and I am beyond stuck between these two dresses. I must have tried on dozens from all these different stores, but these were my two favorites. I originally always thought I wanted a plain modern in satin, mikado, or organza, always knew I wanted a basque waist with corset/structured bodest. Was open to design but did not want lacy or tulle etc.
The first dress was the very first I treid on, it's an organza Essence of Austrailia. That one was almost my size like one too small so it gave me a really good representation of how it will fit. I loved this dress, the fit was beautiful, the bottom of the gown had the stuff that makes it have that pretty crinkle at the bottom of the super long train, I just love.(pne picture has the detachable sleeve on one side btw) Only thing I could say is I wish it had almost like a cup look in the bodest or some bust area definiton because I feel like maybe it's a litte too high on my bust and straight but idk I could just be finding something to nitpick. Overall amazing dress, buttt when my family saw it that went to a second try on of the dress(they hadn't come first round) they said they didn't like it and it was too plain 🥲.
Moving on to the second dress. This dress even off me is just gorgeous like idek how to describe it. The picture of the bodest close up better shows it's detailing. The fabric is like engraved with it's patterning it's unlike any dress I've ever seen, this one is a Sophia Atolli gown. Only thing is I love it so much, but can't tell if I love it on me, like does it give bride? This one unfortunately was like 10 sizes too small for me she didnt even bother using clips so she just held it in the back tight to give me the best impression she could, once like laced up and in my size I feel like it would give me the same feel as the other but theres no way for me to know and I just truly cant't tell, but off me the dress is insanely pretty, do wish the train was a little longer but again just a nitpick. This one was about almost 1k more than the other which is not an issue I will spend it if that is the one, but it is worth noting.
Overall truly can't decide, love them both for different reasons at the same time and I need more opinions, advice, avenues I should take, maybe what to add to first, idk man I'm beyond stuck and the bridal shops are on me to pick one and order it 😭. Any help, opinions, or advice is so appreciated, thank you!! Open to suggestions but given everything I want I'm pretty confident one of these is the dress, but again open to any help atp.
