    Fitted for me. Large skirts swallowed me. But I love all styles!

    Both are great, but I'm 5'2 so when I wear full gowns I look like marshmallow fluff. It will be a sheath style for me.

    I like both! I wanted something full when I began looking and ended up with fitted 😂

    I first bought an A-line dress but returned for a mermaid...I want to look a bit sexy for my man.

    I love both! I have a mermaid style dress so mine is fitted then very full. Smiley smile Out of the above, I like the full more as that fitted dress looks too plain for me.

    On other people - I think anything can be beautiful! I always dreamed I would be in a pretty a-line - but with a small waist and huge bust and hips on top of being pretty short, fitted was the way to go for me.

    I have to go with full. I just think you can wear fitted any other occasion. But on my wedding day I want to be a princess.

    I definitely love the ballgown full style, however I ended up with a part full, part mermaid.

    For me fitted was the way to go. I felt like a cake topper in a fuller gown but I do like the style on others.

    Fitted! My dress is a mermaid style, but it has a fuller skirt to give me some of that princess feeling!

    Fitted. I didn't think I would look good in a fitted dress but I found the perfect one! I tried on full dresses because I thought they would be more flattering, but I found them to be hot. I also felt they shortened me, I looked kind of frumpy.
