Need Dress Opinions (With Pics!!)

NEED YOUR OPINIONS!!!!! WHICH DO YOU LIKE BETTER???? Obviously, the first dress fit better, but the second one has a more detailed bead pattern and much longer train.
I've posted pics of the first one---then a few of the second one. TIA!!!!

I went shopping again today with my Mom....tried on 'the one' that I had picked out a few weeks ago and then tried on a different Eve--and FELL IN LOVE with the second one. Only a $200 difference, so I'm think I'm going with the second one from today, but need to get your opinions. Couldn't get any great pics of the second one(had to be very sneaky about the picture taking, unfortunately) and the dress was big-so it doesn't look as nice, but the material is very different and the beadwork is amazing. The bottom material is organza on the second one--the first was satin--and the train on the second one is amazing--I wish I could've grabbed some train pics, but I missed them!!! The 2nd dress that I think is the one from Eve's website is this one...EV04-14 (see second model pic!!)

Re: Need Dress Opinions (With Pics!!)

You look really beautiful in both. Something about #1 and its elegant simplicity just suits you more, IMO.

Today, I went to Fontana's in Westchester ----I live in Rockland County, so it was closer than LI.

ETA: The first dress I found at RK--in the city.

they are lovely!

Personally, I like #1 better, but only you know you and how they made you feel.

Re: Need Dress Opinions (With Pics!!)

Of course I'll end up choosing one of the two in the end.....but I had fallen in love with the first one also.....so, obviously, I'm slightly torn between the two---otherwise, I wouldn't be here!!

But, it's really coming down to a dress that is 'me'---simple, yet elegant (#1) or really being a 'true girl' for the day and jazzing it up a bit with more beading and flowing romantic material with the long train (#2)....Mom likes #2 more, but she's just glad to see I'm actually wearing a dress

so she'll be happy with either.

I feel great in both---there were some that I tried on and right away said no b/c there was too much 'froof' going on, but both of these produced a great feeling.

I guess only time will tell---I'll sleep on it for a night or two, then make the final decision----thanks to all who have responded. I knew you'd give me great honest opinions (as always). Thank you so much!!!

Re: Need Dress Opinions (With Pics!!)

One more opinion, I love #1. It suits you so much better. Although you looked just as nice in # 2, I think that #1 is the way to go.

Re: Need Dress Opinions (With Pics!!)

I like #1 on you better. I think it's the shape it's very flattering. And I like the design on the first one better bc it looks more romatic and less glitz. Just my opinion-Eve gowns are so beautiful you can't go wrong with either!!
