My personal taste is a full ballgown, all the way! I feel like there are so few times in your life when you can wear a ballgown, so why not?!

Fitted, personally. I can't wear one as I am plus size and hate myself in anything super tight. But they're gorgeous.

While I like fitted dresses some really show all the back fat and lumps and bumps
Buy what you actually look good in not what’s in style

I like full better. Both are gorgeous, but Full looks better with my curves.

Ball gowns are pretty, (and sometimes heavy) but I prefer a more form fitting silhouette.

Full. I'm quite self conscious, and I'm a sucker for a ballgown.
