Dress Dilema

Up until today I have been unable to find a dress that I really love.....today however, I somehow came across 2 dresses that I believe can be 'the one'. They are so different (one is more contemporary - pic 1 and the other more traditional pic 2). I would love some opinions to help me make my decision between the 2 or even if you think I should keep looking! Thanks for your help :)

I absolutely LOVE the first dress!!! It may be contemporary, but I don't think you would look back with regrets, it's still traditional enough.

I like the 2nd one better but the first one might look absolutely amazing on you! I am sorry I can't be of more help...

If you can't decide between the two keep looking. you'll know when you find it.

Personally I liked #2 better, but I think YOU need to decide.
If it comes down to it pick the one less affordable.

I chose the 2nd casablanca one. That is also the dress I finally chose! I was in a similar situation, I was looking for a more contemporary dress with some color. After looking I realized that the casablanca one was so timeless and an incredible value for the price! Its also so elegant. I ordered through netbride and saved $500! I just ordered it last week, and i am supposed to receive it by the end of June. I have heard great things about net bride so i am not that worried! at least I hope..

Good Luck. I think you know its the dress when you try on other dresses and always compare it back to the one that you like.

Re: Dress Dilema

I think the choice cannot be made until you try a gown on. I went gown shopping with a few 'could be the ones' pics. Tried them all. I looked crazy in them. Then I tried on 'the' dress. It's the same dress I looked at on the hanger and was like 'you've gotta be kidding' to the salesgirl. Then I put it on and fell in love because of the way it made me feel.

But if you just want an opinion between the two, I like the 2nd one. Traditional never fails IMHO.

Re: Dress Dilema

Again, thank you for all the advice. Believe it or not, I tried both dresses and felt amazing in both dresses :)

My mother was with me when I tried both dresses and she is leaning toward the contempory.

I am going to bring in my sister and FMIL next weekend for some additional advice....I need it!
