I love both, but go for # 2 if you're more comfortable with it!

Re: Poll- which dress for beach wedding?

Thanks everyone for your opinions. The polls are soooo close!! I think what I really have to do is try something similar on in both styles before I decide. The problem is, I have to order these dresses online. The price is definitely right though. I just would feel more comfortable if I had an idea which style looks better on my body. I appreciate everyone's opinions so much!!

I would definitely try both on and you can always add straps to the 1st one if you're worried.

Re: Poll- which dress for beach wedding?

they are both GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!

i like number one a BIT more just b/c i think it's cut nicer and would make your figure look GREAT

for your busty situation which i envy b/c i have the opposite problem

lol... i would have those pretty thin straps on the other dress put on your dress... i'm sure a good seamstress can work something out with you and do that for you once the dress comes in. they can position the straps however you want (doesn't have to just be normal-- it can criss-cross in the back in a really elegant way, etc). look at styles maybe?

but i think the first dress takes the cake-- with the 2nd, i'm not crazy about the A line look on a lot of people-- my body is not an A line body (maybe yours is) but it's a tuff one-- the straight would flatter better i think, HTH!!!!

Kare and DAnielle - good idea about the straps. I'll definitely have to consider that. I love that dress as well. I really love both of them, but #1 is a little different and that's why that one stands out for me. Thanks again!

Re: Poll- which dress for beach wedding?

Definitely # 1!!!! Just get yourself a good bra and you will be fine in a strapless dress....If you live on Long Island - Mary's Corsettieres will be able to fit you so 'the girls' won't move the entire day/night!! They can also put velcro on the bra and dress so that the dress doesn't fall down when you are wearing it (i.e, you won't have to constantly pull it up all night)

I love dress #2!!!! I'm a spaghetti strap person, I think it's perfect for a beach wedding! They are both nice, but there is something about # 2 that I love. I think it will look gorgeous on the beach!

Re: Poll- which dress for beach wedding?

I love them both! I like #2 better only because I like the way it drapes and the neckline is really nice. I know you said your busty (please excuse the grammar) but I think either dress will look beautiful!
