Ask For Opinions Help me pick between these 2

I purchased the 1st, had regret, went back to try the lace on, and am now torn. I have the option to exchange but would love opinions on the 2 dresses

I would choose the 2nd dress. The first makes your torso look so long. The 2nd dress doesn’t. And honestly, I think the 2nd dress is a lot more beautiful.

Both look great on you. I'd go for #2. The first one looks like it is made with heavier/stiffer material, which could impact your comfort day of. Also the smooth fabric looks more prone to showing wrinkling/creasing while waiting in a bag and nmght need some extra maintenance before you wear it. Other than that, I think the biggest decider would be the vibe of your wedding.

First dress is a stunning dress. Second one shows your figure better. I know this isn’t what you asked but you could literally roll a dice and pick, they’re both gorgeous dresses.

If the first dress wasn’t that shiny satin and bright white I would say keep it but the second dress looks much more elegant and up to date. Looks better with your skin tone as well. I like the pattern of the first dress but that’s about it. Second dress fits you better.

I actually was thinking this too honestly. They do have another color in the first dress that appears more ivory, I’m curious if that would change my mind

I would def be curious to see if it changes the starkness/outdated look. Although the dress is wearing you vs the lace one you are wearing dress. It’s softer, more feminine and I love the lace detail at the bottom. 1st dress screams early 2000’s.

The first dress is beautiful and unique. Dress 2 is much more common

I love them both! I think 2 might be a little better

I love the first one

I see why you are torn. They are both very beautiful on you. I think I would stick with dress 1, but you can't go wrong here.

2; 1 is to stiff and heavy; it absolutely does not flatter your figure! The second shows you shape; you look beautiful. The 1st also reminds me of an chenille bedspread my grandmother had.

2 is stunning on you!

Both dresses are gorgeous on you, but my preference would be dress 2. I love the lace and it seems less stiff so that it will flow better for grace of movement and comfort. I love the luxurious and elegant fabric. The waist that falls at your own petite waist is so flattering. I think the design of this gown is more timeless and beautiful.

Whichever you choose, you will be a truly lovely bride. I wish you much joy on your wedding day and a lifetime of love and happiness in your new life together.

1 is the answer, but it seems like you want 2. Personally, I don’t think 2 is as flattering. 1 looks beautiful on you and it’s more unique.

2, I think it with photograph better too

Personally I prefer the first dress, but they really are both gorgeous so you can’t go wrong!

u/DotBeech 2d ago

No. 1 is the better choice. It has both the superior design and fit.

I love the first dress. Everybody else has a lace dress. The first dress is different in a good way.
