Okay.. NOW WITH BACK VIEW PICS

since everyone else is posting the dresses they are deciding between... here are mine.. I ordered the first one already-- it's on hold though, so I can transfer to the deposit to any other dress that Kleinfelds carries..

#1-- Is very pretty, I love the shape, etc.. I have reservations about the embrodiery. It is a bit too 'flowery' for my taste. It is a beautiful dress, but I really do not think it is for me.. although, I love the way I look in it. I do not 'love' the dress itself. Also note if you can tell who this model is.

#2- Is a dress by a designer that I loove. This dress is really hard to tell in the pic, as it looks relatively simple-- but the back is awesome.. the bodice dips down a bit to create a very flattering look in the back. Also, the back has all these scattered french bustles- also called pick ups- to create a very romanitc look- similar to the skirt in dress # 1. I also love the bodice design here.

Anyway, thoughts are appreciated.

Re: Okay..

Is that the bussle for dress #1 or is that how it will be for the ceremony as well?

I really love them both, you can not go wrong. But, I really love how #1 is different.

ok- dress #1 did not load.. help!

Ok-- got it!

The model is Trish (the b*tch) from the Bachelor!!

You got it!!

I took that as a semi-omen. I did not even realzie until I got home from buying it and I looked at it again online- all of a sudden Trish is in my dress!!

I was sooo addicted to the Bachelor this season...and I wanted to punch Trish! I would definitely take her being in that dress as a sign to get the Reem!!!

haha-- totally.. I love Reem... When I went to her salon, it was the best dress trying on experience.. I loved everything- some more than others.. Most other places I looked, it never really felt special. Of course all of these things came to be after I freakin' ordered another dress.. Well, you live and learn..

LOVE the Bachelor-- do you know Jen (Adrew Firestone) is going to be the next Bachelorette?

the dress has a slight train which bustles up-- but, basically it is a low maintence skirt.

Re: Okay..

I love #1. It is so elegant and unique.

Re: Okay..

They are both very, very pretty---but If it were me I'd go with the first one (withthe green sweater)....AND-- I definately dont think it's too flowery!

Re: Okay..

I love them both, although they are very different styles to me. It depends on what you want to go for. I think the one with th egreen is more timeless and the bustled one is more unique. Both are beautiful!

Re: Okay..

I really think this helped solidify things for me.. THANKS GIRLS!

I was thinking I needed to try on the Anne Barge dress again- the one with all the pick ups on the skirt.. But, when I thought this was the dress I was 'stuck with' I was really upset. It is not my dress..

I am totally ordering the Reem this weekend- I need this dress business to be over already!

Plus, I am going for a more timeless look- my engagement ring is antique, the look of the Carltun is vintage-- it is sorta my underlying theme.

Re: Okay..

I love #1, the one without the green thing! Its so beautiful and unique. You could also bustle the back to match the front of the dress.!

Yeah- it is sort of the same mentality, you don;t know what you got til it's gone... I imagine everyone has goen through this to an extent.

Re: Okay..

My dress is similar to dress #1 (or 'the one w/out the green thing' and the more 'unique' one), so of course I'm partial. But I've always admired that Reem dress and think it would've been my second choice had I not found my dress.

I guess you and I have similar tastes!!!
