Which dress? w/pics ETA: Bought the second dress tonight!

So, as usual, I am deciding between two dresses. The first is the one I originally bought, and the second I recently tried on and can't decide if I like better....Any opinions? Which one looks better on (excuse the second pic taken in a mirror of a fitting room, which explains the handprints on the mirror...)?

ETA: Thanks for all the posts! I bought the second one tonight (added new pic--with head--below!)

Re: Which dress? w/pics

That's a tough one FSIL! I think both of them are beautiful. I think the only thing that's making me lean toward the first dress is the fact that it's heavier material and you might be more warm in it, but I really have no clue.

Haha future nana doesn't think a wedding dress should have any color in it...I have a feeling she is not a fan of the first. Thanks!

FH (mine, lol) thinks that the second one is nicer, so I doubt I'm being much of a help, lol.

Re: Which dress? w/pics

The second one is really nice, but it looks like such a common type of dress. The first one is more unique. I like them both though.

That's why I can't decide. I love the neckline on the first, but I feel like the second one is more flattering with less tulle.

Re: Which dress? w/pics

both are very pretty, but my vote is for the second one. i am not crazy about the neckline in the first picture. just my personal preference.

Re: Which dress? w/pics

I like the second but I do agree that it is mor eof a common type of design and it really depends if if that matters to you at all.

#2 get me & hubby's votes

Re: Which dress? w/pics

The first one, yes is more unique...its nice...but if that is you in the picture...it doesn't flatter you at all, excuse me for saying this but you actually look wider. The second one is simple but elegant. I happen to like that one better on you!
Good Luck

Haha that is my body in both. Thanks, I did feel the same way that the first was not so flattering. It does need alterations to hit the right areas, but I did feel larger in the first...

I like #2. I think it really looks great on your figure.

Edited for spelling.

I think I like the second one better. It was more form fitting and flattering. I also like the material of the 2nd one better.
