One of Those (Brides)...Which Dress?! UPDATED: bought a dress! WITH PHOTOS!

CountingDowntoMrs, on April 7, 2017 at 11:05 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 161

UPDATED: scroll far down, girls and guys. I made a decision, and posted photos!!

I am torn between two dresses! Help!

Dress One (Mori Lee) Notes:

- The color in the photos is caramel. I would order it in ivory. I cannot find any photos of the dress in ivory because it is from the spring 2017 collection, and do not know if it would lose some of its pizzaz in ivory only.

- I would NOT add the belt

- Here's the link to the gown, which is also only pictured in caramel. But, I think it shows the back better: https://www.morilee.com/product/bridal-wedding-dresses/morilee/mariela-wedding-dress/

    Dress Two (Casablanca) Notes:

    - Again, the sample size on me did not show the back well, so here's the link: https://www.casablancabridal.com/collections/secret-garden/style-2273-poppy/

    - I would order it in the ivory color pictured.

    - The bottom looks soft in photos, but it is kind of a tulle material in person.

    Actually, I'll throw this third gown (Fiore Couture) on here because my dream dress would have THIS bottom and the top of the first dress (Mori Lee) above.

    I teared up in dress number three, but I also do not know if it's worth the extra $1,000.00; it's more stunning in person, but I do not think photographs any better than the first two. This dress is the top end of my budget with what I wanted to spend on dress plus alterations combined.

    It also has not been one that any of my friends have picked as a top contender over the first two, but I adore the bottom. I wish I could mix them all!

    I like #1 the best, but I would also go with the belt. I think it adds a nice touch. Not a huge fan of the skirts on 2 and 3, but I loooove the bodice on #3 too.

    Probably not what you want to hear, because #3 is the most expensive, but I LOVE #3. #2 would be my second choice. They all look really lovely on you! I don't think you can go wrong. My opinion is really just my personal preferences.

    I agree, I LOVE the bottom on dress 3. You're lucky you can really pull off the fit and flair style. I tried it but it just didn't work on me.

    The tops are pretty similar to the average observer. I'd probably go with dress 3 because the bottom is so unique and gorgeous. Your alterator will make the bodice fit you perfectly.

    #1 all the way! I love the way that the dress flows throughout and makes you look taller. The others cut your body into two sections.

    When people talk about fit, they forget that how it fits with clips in the store is not how it will really look after alterations, in the right size.

    I'm also team no belt.

    I like number 1 the best but I agree about not knowing if it'll lose some of its appeal in ivory. I love that color that you're wearing, though. I think it's really annoying when designers don't have pictures of all the colors it comes in.

    They are all gorgeous!! I think it really comes down to which skirt you like the best!

    Not to make your decision more difficult, but Maggie Sottero has a lot of similar dresses so that might be worth checking out as well! The Paulina dress is lace instead of beading on top, but the tulle and organza skirt is really similar to the Fiore Couture dress you posted!

    I love #1. I am fairly sure that I tried on the same dress at a trunk show in ivory. Here's a picture of it, if its the same dress...

    Love #1, I am Mori Lee fan though! I know when I tried on Casablanca dresses they mentioned that you can pick a top and bottom and have them do a custom dress too, do they offer a skirt similar to #3?
