Torn between 2 dresses! HELP!

I love 2 dresses and I can't decide which one I want!

Both are Maggie Sottero (I LOVE HER)...

I tried on Dress 1 (Chrystelle Lynette) last week and LOVED it. But it was too small and they had to pin it to my bra... so I couldnt really tell what the back would look like. I have a very pear shaped body... small shoulders, medium size boobs, medium waist, and big ol' hips/butt. So I was looking for a more a-line skirt since it's more flattering on me. And this dress was a LOT of skirt, which I didn't want, but I did like the way it accentuated my upper body. Plus I love how it's different- not your typical satin strapless, beaded dress that you see all the time... I'd probably cut the train just a little. The material is a very light, flowy chiffon, which I love.

Then I tried on Dress 2 (Aubre) today. I stepped out of the dressing room and my mom CRIED... she saw me try on about 15 dresses and this was the only one that made her cry! The dress just fit me PERFECT- it was my size and everything so of course it was easier to tell. I would be adding spaghetti straps because I don't want strapless. I love the sweetheart neckline, lace up back, and the organza material. Plus it makes me look SO thin. I just feel like it might look too typical- I wanted something a little more unique. But I really do love it ON me. The edge of the dress has little crystal beads- so small you can barely tell, but they glisten in the light.

Honestly, I think I'd be more comfortable in dress 2, and I think it's more flattering on me. But I was so set on dress 1 and I really do love the unique look of it... especially the top. It's also a newer style (Fall 07) Dress 2 is a Spring 06. I don't know what to do!! What do you ladies think?

Without seeing you in the dresses, I prefer the first one for reasons similar to what you cited. I think it's more unique. They're both lovely, but I feel like I have seen the second dress before.

Did you try both of them on? I tried the 1st one on and being only 5'2' it didnt fit my body right. I tried something similiar to the secong dress, I like that one better.

I was torn between two as well...I fell in love with a gown in a magazine, tried it on and LOVED IT! I was so set on that dress but i went shopping because it's a once in a lifetime thing and i found another dress that i loved too. I ended up going with the second gown because it was the one i could picture marrying my fh in. It was the one that i want him to see me in when the church doors open. I know why you asked everyone for their opinion but honestly, it seems like you are much more excited about the second gown. It has to be something you adore completely. I found myself comparing all other gowns to gown #2 instead of #1....thats how i knew. Good luck!

BTW both gowns are gorgeous!

both gowns are beautiful, Go with what you feel most comfortable in though...if the second dress fits in all the right ways and made your mom cry, it seems like that might be the dress for you. Good Luck picking!!

I personally like the 1st one--but you have to go with that one that you love and what you keep seeing yourself in as you walk down the aisle

Re: Torn between 2 dresses! HELP!

i personally LOVE number 1 ...but i didn't see them on you so if you're more comfortable in #2 then of course go for that...but #1! i love it! lol. sorry i'm of no help. honestly, go with the one that u can't get out of ur head. I had 3 dresses that i LOVED, but when i got home, the whole following week i kept referring to one of them as 'my dress this & my dress that, this kinda bridesmaid dress would go so great with it', etc.etc...so sleep on it for a few days & see what happens!

Maybe you should look around some more if you have the time.... I was torn between two dresses as well and then finally found a different one that was the perfect combination
