Dress Advice Needed!!!!!!!!

So, I ordered a dress in September for my wedding which I LOVED at the time.. .I am a pretty plain person and wanted a dress without too much detailing on it, which I found and adored. Then, a few weeks ago I saw a gorgeous dress in a magazine and now I am totally doubting my decision. The new dress is way more expensive also which just complicates things more. I don't know if I should even entertain the idea of switching... this is the first one, but the sparkly thing is coming off and that part is being sewn flat with a few pearls...

Dress 1-- It is style 8031

Dress 2

I can't see switching from a dress you love to a dress you've only seen a pic of in a magazine. Who knows what it would actually look like on you - think how many times you've seen a gown (or a blouse, or anything) that looks so nice on the hanger and so wrong on you. And you've already found a dress that you love and that looks great on you! Maybe because it's so much money and such a commitment, you're getting a bit of cold feet. But you say you LOVE the dress - you'll be fine, you'll look beautiful in it, and you'll be happy!

I agree. I actually like your first choice better.

I actually like the first one better. also I don't know if you seen and tried on the second one but it's been my expereince that sometimes things you see in magazines don't look the same when you try them on.

Re: Dress Advice Needed!!!!!!!!

IMO they are both stunning adn you can't go wrong with either one. If you like the second one, before you attempt any changes go try it on. Sure, it looks nice in the pic, but that might not be the case when you put it on. If you truly love it beyond your wildest imaginings, then look into changing dresses.

Re: Dress Advice Needed!!!!!!!!

I LOVE your first choice! It is so simple and elegant.... The other one is more of an antique- look. It depends on what will make you happiest... But don't doubt the beauty of the first one AT ALL.

LOVE the first choice - You can't go wrong.

Lace tends to look a LOT nicer in these pro shots on web sites than it does in person. Go look at it in person before you make any decisions to change. Sometimes the lace doesn't look nearly as elegant in person.

Good luck. Your first choice was gorgeous, too!

Re: Dress Advice Needed!!!!!!!!

I like both but the first one is more of my own taste.

I would not get all upset yet b/c sometimes when you see a dress in the magazine, it looks totally different on.

If you are that confused and adamant about this I would go try on the other dress and see what happends.

Re: Dress Advice Needed!!!!!!!!

they are both beautiful!

I do like the justin alexander dress better though. It is a more classic looking wedding dress. JMO!

Melissa Sweet is kryptonite for me. I LOVEEEEEEE her dresses. I don't LOVEEEEEEE her price tags.

Your first dress is stunning. You can't go wrong with it. And Dava is right...it might look terrible on you. You never know. Don't second guess! It's beautiful!
