Toss Up Between Gowns

Brides!! I am searching for a gown that is 'the one', but think I may have found it. I have tried on over 25 gowns and keep coming back to a couple.

There are three gowns. The first is by Casablanca and is around 1,125 plus alterations. Totally within my price range, however, doesn't fit exactly right even after alterations were discussed with the seamstress. I felt like an 8/10.

The second one is a Romona Keveza from the Couture line which retails around 8K, on sale for 5K, but recently was discounted to 3800 for the sample dress. I love the way this dress fits and all of the details of the dress, however, my mother in law wasn't a fan. Furthermore, it is sort of higher than what I wanted to spend. I was hoping to spend around 3K with alterations, but I feel like a 10/10 when wearing this dress.

The third is another dress by Romona Keveza and is lacy, tight, and sexy. It would be around 3200 plus alterations of course. Also, I feel it doesn't have enough bling, so I'd want to add that on which could cost another 1000. I also feel like a 10/10 in the dress.

My theme is country meets city and I'm getting married at Flowerfield. I want to feel sexy, classy, stylish, and like a bride. I need help as to which dress looks the best. Help LIBrides!

do you have pics? I would say trust your gut and choose the one you feel the best in thats within your budget. Although you like the first if it is not going to fit right after alterations will you be ok with the final product?

The second one sounds like a steal and you wouldn't have to add anything onto it since you love everything about it, even if it's a little higher than what you wanted to spend. How come your MIL doesn't like it?

You have to go with your gut and choose the one that you feel the best in!

I would say the 3rd one, and rather than spending 1k on adding bling, just buy a nice blinged out belt to have alterations sew into the dress. Check out my dress pics in my album, my dress sounds kinda like your third dress, but not as form fitting

It's difficult to say without seeing pics, but it seems like you are happy with dress number two! If the reasons that your FMIL doesn't like it are miniscule, why not just wear the dress!? YOUR day!

i'd love to see the pics. i think ultimately you need to go with your gut and what makes you feel the best. youre going to be in the dress all day and its YOUR day. do what feels the best for you. sounds like 2 and 3 are a pretty good bet. can go wrong with feeling like a 10/10, right!?
