Okay, I tried on a lot of different dresses and I'm sick of looking at this point. I have narrowed it down to two. The first one, I do not have a picture of myself in it. It's a James Clifford, love the dress and it made me feel like a bride. The second dress is by White One style #189 (never heard of it). It's an empire waist with pleats on the bottom. I like it because it's different, very simple and light, less than half the price of the first. I wasn't able to find any pictures of it online. Maybe you girls have seen it. My wedding is in Manhattan on a saturday night. Somehow I think the first dress is more appropriate but my family seem to like the second dress more. I'd like to know what you think.
The second dress is closest to this except it doesn't have layers on the bottom and it has beads on the chest area.

I still can't make up my mind. My FMIL said I haven't found 'THE' dress yet. That's why I am having a hard time choosing a dress. I don't think I will ever find THE dress. I am happy with either one of these dresses. But she insists that I go try on more dresses. I hope whatever I pick, I will love till the day of my wedding. I see that some girls are second guessing their choices because they picked so early. Thanks for all your help girls. I'll keep you posted.

wow! I can see why you're having a problem.....I wish you had a picture of you in the first dress. I think both of them are gorgeous, but for your frame, I'm almost thinking the 2nd one might be better. It looks so classy and elegant on you! The first one is beautiful too though!!

i love them both...but that second one seems like it was made for you Keep looking if it'll make u feel better - otherwise go with what YOU want. Don't let anyone's opinions sway u otherwise. Maybe go in one day by yourself to the dress shop & try them on so the only thoughts ur hearing are ur own

I love the second one. That's just the dress I envisioned for myself....however the cut didn't suit me. YOU however, are made for it. I'm jealous!!!

Thank you for you comment. I love the way the second dress looks on me but I'm afraid it's not my style after reading everyone's post. It feels very bohemian to me, and that's not me. I'm going shopping again tomorrow, this time to Helens.
