    This was my dilemma when I went shopping. But ultimately I went with a trumpet style. A ball gown had to be really special to me, so I wouldn't feel like another bride in a fluffy dress. Unfortunately I didn't find one in my price range

    Full. Not a fan of fitted at all.

    This was the hardest choice for me—I love both the full and fitted (as long as not too fitted around the waist). I picked fitted.

    Full for sure. Not ever been one for a super fitted dress as I've always been a tomboy. Plus I like the elegant look of the ballgown and of course, the poofy.

    I do love both!! This was a major struggle for me when I first started wedding dress shopping. I always thought I would wear fitted. But when I started shopping I “lit up” more in the ball gowns. Although I haven’t picked a dress yet, I’m definitely leaning towards Full!

    Fitted. Which I thought I'd want but I went with full for my own since that looked better on me but I always find fitted to be so pretty

    I love how full gowns look, but I got a mermaid dress because it works so much better on my petite frame!

    I love fitted, although I don’t have the perfect body for that style—so an in between the two would be best for me. Full makes me look rounder lol

    I think both look beautiful but I've always preferred the fitted look. Now I just have to work out to fit into one Smiley xd
