Help me pick between two!

So, I actually work at a bridal store. And months and months ago, a dress that had been at the store as long as I had (a year and a half) went on clearance - it was literally the last one in the chain. I bought it. For $75. However, just to look, because my gut told me I should keep looking, I...

However, just to look, because my gut told me I should keep looking, I recently went shopping at other boutiques, and fell in love with a new dress.

(Not the best pics, my mom took them.) the new one has crystals one the belt, straps, and crystal buttons all the way down the train.
And now I’m so confused!! I’m trying them both on again soon, and am at such a loss. I love both for so many different reasons.
What are your thoughts ladies?

    I think dress #1 is so perfect for you! And you can totally add a sparkly belt to it! The other dress is pretty too, but the first one really shows off your figure.

    They are both gorgeous! I would say for $75 that I'd a super steal and you can just add a flashy belt to it if you want and straps too if you really want the extra flashy the other dress has. Or maybe do a really stunning veil yo accent it. For $75 you can add the accessories you want. I think it looks stunning.

    You already bought dress number one , but I love the second one and if you saw a new dress that caught your attention (dress 2) then I’d just go with that one. It looks simple but elegant! And I’m wondering if you only bought dress number 1 because it was $75?

    Add the details you like to the dress you have. buttons and a belt (of any style) should be simple for any bridal seamstress to add.

    The second one! It has a better shape and details that really make you want to look longer and appreciate it more in a way. Both look phenomenal on you though!!!

    I Googled the dress you mentioned, and I think it is absolutely exquisite!!! If you don't like it, though, see if you can return it for a refund.

    It looks like I'm in the minority, but I LOVE the first dress!!! It is so flattering to your figure!!! Oh my gosh!!! Love it!! Is it the bling on the second dress that led you to consider it? If so, you might consider adding a belt to the strapless gown.

    Right for the price of the first you can bling it up if you want - add a little more to it and make it your own !

    If it’s only going to be your reception dress totally chop that train down! You don’t need it to just be in a bustle!
