Help! i can't choose a wedding dress- opinions needed

So I have tried on about a million wedding dresses and now I'm down to 2. For the LIFE of me, I cannot decide. I think the problem is that the sample for dress 1 fit me like a glove and the sample for dress 2 I was swimming in. Even with clips, dress 2 was hard to imagine as my size, but I do love...

So I have tried on about a million wedding dresses and now I'm down to 2. For the LIFE of me, I cannot decide. I think the problem is that the sample for dress 1 fit me like a glove and the sample for dress 2 I was swimming in. Even with clips, dress 2 was hard to imagine as my size, but I do love the dress. Thankfully, they are from the same designer but I have to decide within the next 2 weeks because they are having a trunk show and I need to order. Which one do you like better?

Dress 1- Sample fit like a glove (size 4), sexier/ tighter/mainly lace

Dress 2- sample size 10 and was huge, more of a classic look/ lace and beading

    Both are beautiful! However you need to choose what you feel is the right dress and what makes you feel the most beautiful. I really like dress 2 the best because of the lace on the train but I also think 1 is beautiful too

    LADIES WOW!!!!! I Cannot thank you enough for your help! My happiest moment of all of dress shopping was with dress 1. But I also still love the back of dress 2. Still undecided but I’m hoping when I meet with the designer it will help. Keep the opinions coming. You are all amazing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    Dress 1 gets my vote! I like the more traditional feel, the structure and boning of the dress. It has more (in my opinion) timeless classic elements.

    Now, Dress 2 is gorgeous, and you wear it well, but it seems like you will be shifting your shoulders in place during the evening, and there are asymmetrical lines as part of the design of the dress that sometimes seem to appear at random. To prevent the shifting, you would have to have cups sewn in just right, and tape... that might become very uncomfortable.

    Dress 1 will be more versatile in terms of venue and setting. The deep cut is trendy, but not going to overwhelm guests from looking at you from the front.

    Dress 2 will give a more modern vibe. I think it is perfect for a beach/ destination elopement, with a smaller crowd.

    Both dresses show off a physique that you worked very hard for, but a bit more coverage in the back with Dress 1, makes you look more like a bride rather than a formal dress to show off the hard-earned gains. (In my opinion).

    Also, just throwing this out there as a worst case scenario (I was a former bridal stylist): If the straps were to break with Dress 1, the dress would still stay in place just fine from the boning and zipper. While the construction of Dress 2 likely wouldn't have this scenario, if something were to tear the sheer paneling from the sides, or if something were to give, it would be very hard to fix, and you might be maneuvering awkwardly.

    Now I want to change my vote! If the happiest moment of dress shopping was with dress 1, then go with dress 1! The back of dress 2 *is* super gorgeous, but dress 1 is stunning as a whole. And if that's the one you were happiest in, I think that's the one you'll get the most joy out of! :]

    Hiiiii everyone! Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped me with this! I decided on a totally different t dress and here’s why! - I LOVED the neckline and fit around the booty of dress 1 but I also LOVED the low back of dress 2. So I found a dress that has BOTH and which I believe is quite a stunner. Here it is!!!!! The back pic is not me but my family didn’t get a very good pic of the back. These pics do NOT do it justice though. Its so much more beautiful/ sparkly in person.


    I am in LOVEEEEEEEE 😍😍😍😍. When I put this on, I felt it I just KNEW it had everything I was looking for in a dress. I went back and tried on the original 2 dresses I posted on this poll along with the dress I purchased and neither of them held a candle to this one in my eyes!
    Now I’m just trying to figure out hair, jewelry, and shoes 🧐. Since this is ivory/ honey/ cappuccino, I’m having a hard time with bridesmaid colors also. Help!  i can't choose a wedding dress- opinions needed 1Help!  i can't choose a wedding dress- opinions needed 2

    Dress # 2 mainly from the standpoint of the straps: they look a little delicate to be attached to a corseted bodice and seem to be not strong enough overall...
