Which dress would you pick and why

My Bridesmaid dresses will be champagne. I went with two of my BMs yesterday and they loved this dress:

I love this dress along with the majority of my BMs. (although not all have tried it on)

The two Bms that love the first dress think the sleeves of the second one might be annoying, because they will keep falling down, and that it might not be flattering to the arms of those with bigger arms.

I say there are ways around the sleeves being annoying (for example stick on velcro or double stick tape for the inside of the sleeves).

My BMs are a true variety of sizes and shape (short, tall, voluptuous, not voluptuous, heavier, skinnier etc . . .)

Can you please tell vote for 1, 2, or neither and explain why you voted as you did? Thanks Girls!!!!!

#2. Don't like the neckline on #1.

I like #2. If its altered correctly the sleeves shouldn't be a problem. I like the back of #2.

Love number 1!! I don't like number two very much, not a fan of that lace-up back thing JMO. I think the fabric of number 1 looks nicer as well.

I really like #1. I think it is so elegant looking, and i'm also not big on the lace up back. JMO

I'd go with #2....#1's neckline is too high IMO

I really like #2, I don't know why exactly.. I just think it would be more comfortable.. i hate things up on my neck like that..

I like #2. I agree the neckline on #1 may be hard to wear. The cut on #2 may be more flattering to different body types.

I like #1 but I like to be covered up.

Re: Which dress would you pick and why

at first glance i like both.... but i think i like #2 better.. im not really so big on the top of the first one.. i think the second one would be more pleasing..

I like them both, but I think #2 would be better suited to your summer wedding. I could see a fall / winter bride picking #1 - JMO though! Good luck!

I like #2. #1 looks like it will be choking the BM. No 2 is also so elegant with the corset back. Very fashionable.

Re: Which dress would you pick and why

I like #1 because it's different, unique and memorable. Then again I usually the one to do things differently.

Re: Which dress would you pick and why

I'm with #2. Few reasons: I like the lace up back - it makes my figure look better. Cap sleeves are more flattering than sleeveless, IMO, for heavier girls (I say being a little heavy myself). Finally, the neckline of #1 looks like it will be too warm for a July wedding.

#2 b/c i've tried it on in the past and loved it. good luck!

Re: Which dress would you pick and why

I vote for #2.

#1 will not look good on girls with bigger chests

Re: Which dress would you pick and why

I love #2 without a doubt! The lacing up the back is gorgeous, along with the sleeves. I do not like the neckline on the first dress. It looks like it might be uncomfortable. For example, I hate trutlenecks and high necklines, the bother me.
So my vote is:

#2i
