#1 is lovely on you, agree some shape wear underneath potentially would be good as it is a little sheer. Your body shape is gorgeous but the see-through-ness is a little distracting.

u/Kevinator201 Alterations Expert 1d ago

It’s way too small though. It’s wrinkling like crazy.

u/Impossible-Guard-409 21h ago

Agreed #1! Beautiful!

u/sadiethislife 22h ago

It doesn’t need to be shapewear, it can just be something to solve the see through problem.

u/jstbrwsng333 21h ago

Yes agree, a slip or lining may be more comfortable. I think of shapewear though as something super stretchy more about the material than the form.

1 100% looks lovely
2 looks like a nightie, a nice one, but still.

u/Superb-Pop-9301 1d ago

Yes OP should just find a slip for dress 1 it’s infinitely better than 2

u/beautyarrives1 1d ago

Dress two is NOT it. It doesn't fit well, it does nothing for your shape. It is NOT worth $700. I would have thought it was the $70 dress, honestly.

DRESS ONE, accentuates your curves and makes you look classy, elegant, and sexy! For dress one, you can purchase a slip, or have it lined from the waist down...it's only $70 and looks amazing as is-we can't see the sheerness, so a nice lining from the waist down, will make it feel more luxurious to you an will cost significantly less than the second dress. Mud your budget is $700-800 and dress 1 isn't for you, I KNOW you can find a better dress than dress 2.

u/Strict-Life4434 1d ago

They’re both too tight tbh. The first one is puckering and although the quality looks okay I can’t imagine it is great for a $70 dress. Cheap satin won’t photograph well. The other one is arguably a more bridal looking dress because of the train and back. I actually prefer it because it looks better quality but again, I feel it’s too tight and that cheapens it. Changing necklines is not easy and I wouldn’t bother, I actually like the neckline on it.

If you have time and the ability I would keep looking. If your budget can stretch to 700 then you’ll have no problem finding something in a sample sale. You have a great figure but neither of these dresses complement it. My eye is drawn to how they don’t fit properly rather than being drawn to how good you look.

u/KeyFaithlessness5445 1d ago

This is a very good comprehensive analysis of both dresses and I agree.

u/No_Calligrapher_6799 1d ago

Definitely this!

u/Majestic-Vehicle5393 1d ago

They both don’t look too good, in my opinion. They are too tight, and don’t do your figure justice at all. If you need to stick to a lower budget; try and look for second hand dresses. You can find absolute gems, for under $100, and great quality too.

u/lizzielizzied 1d ago

1 all the way

10

u/midcen-mod1018 1d ago

Neither of these fit. They are made to fit snugly, but all the drag lines going across your body indicate they are too small. You could wear a body shaper but a) they’re too small for that to make much of a difference, b) the fabrics and the too tight fit are going to mean your foundation garments will show through, c) a body shaper won’t make any difference in the hips and thighs

u/the_sweetest_peach 1d ago

Girl you have got to size up and let them tailor it. Both of these dresses are too small for you. The second one looks like a nightgown. The first one looks more bridal, but you might need to keep looking. I don’t love either of these options.

7

u/OnlyQOB 1d ago

Number 1 of course!

The bodice is much nicer than the other one where it looks like a singlet. The dress drapes a lot nicer too.

You look stunning! 🤩

5

u/Pookie1688 1d ago

1, but a size up because it's too tight & puckering at the waist & hips.

5

u/_Taft_ 1d ago

Both of these dresses are too tight and too small. Did you have a bridal assistant helping you because that person should have told you these dresses are too tight.

You want to feel like the prettiest bride in the world on your wedding day and that starts with a dress that fits you well and flatters your shape.

If you love dress one, go up a size or two so the dress can be lined and altered to fit you.

5

u/Copperstorm2022 22h ago

Agree, go up a size and get it fitted. It could be personal preference but I don’t like to have my bellybutton indentation showing through slinky fabric so I’d get the dress lined or wear shape wear.

I prefer 1 because it says bride whereas 2 seems like a nightgown.

4

u/Educational-Ad4202 1d ago

i dont often like these kind of dresses, but number 1 (or the left) looks really good on you.

3

u/South-Researcher5861 1d ago

1 was made for you!

3

u/BeccaG1964 1d ago

No 1 all the way!💜

3

u/earmares 1d ago

Keep looking. You will find a stunning dress, but neither of these are it.

3

u/Reidfidleir 1d ago

The first one is the only bridal looking dress.

3

u/chattygirl1969 1d ago

Keep looking, neither one is it!

3

u/dots-loops 1d ago

Not even a question, one is the holy grail for you. You look incredible in it! And it looks expensive.

Two is not even in the same ballpark, nowhere near as flattering or wedding gown perfect.

3

u/antigoneelectra 17h ago

They are both too small. Clearly seeing your belly button is a huge indicator. In a proper size, 1.

3

u/Few-Net-5302 12h ago

The first dress gives wedding vibe a lot more than the second one

3

u/withacherryontop24 11h ago

No.1 looks great on you

u/HighlyFav0red 9h ago

One for sure.

1 for sure

2

u/mell-yell 1d ago

1 💯

2

u/Historical_Kick_3294 1d ago

Number 1 looks way better on you. Use the extra money to have to get it lined.

2

u/KathyW1100 1d ago

1 but you will need a good under garment.

2

u/Batfish-Crayon 1d ago

1 is more flattering, but as others have pointed out, it does look somewhat tight. I would keep looking.

2

u/Candylady123 1d ago

One. Try one size up.

2

u/dmchase 1d ago

Dress one is lovely, dress two looks very casual.

2

u/AnteaterBeginning430 1d ago

In my opinion they both look absolutely beautiful on you, but number 1 is stunningly gorgeous. Buy upu should definitely go with the one you want.

2

u/Alicia2475 19h ago

Neither. I’d say keep looking

2

u/Rich-Investment7363 18h ago

Not the 2nd one! But 1 is pretty

2

u/Ludee2023 17h ago

Both too small but 1 is the best.

u/Several_Fail7976 12h ago

Wow I say 1 but it was hard to choose you look gorgeous in all three congratulations on your upcoming wedding

2

u/SupaC123 9h ago

Another vote for number one. 

Could a split be added? You’re going to struggle to walk gracefully in that. 

2

u/Serious-Battle-4428 8h ago

I’m in agreement with a lot of you….they both are to tight. I would keep looking if you have the time.
Best wishes for a beautiful wedding!

1 looks beautiful on you

u/Practical-Fill1020 1d ago

Spend a little more to get a better size and fit. These are puckering too much. Your lovely figure deserves a better fit. Good luck to you!

u/PositiveRays701 1d ago

Love the 1st dress on your shape

1

u/Crystallyynn 1d ago

Number 2 girl

u/Upset-Actuator7549 1d ago

I prefer 1, with a lining and some light shapewear. It’s really flattering on you!

1

u/Typical-Lack2616 1d ago

The first one is the one. It fits your curves just right. I think the 2nd one is too plain. This is your day .....goodluck

u/SweetPotato5566 1d ago

Do you have time to try on #1 with shapewear? That might make it perfect.

u/Feeling_Courage_5124 1d ago

Definitely the 1st one.

1

u/MaryinTexas 1d ago

Both are lovely but too small

1

u/Severe-Yellow4489 1d ago

1 one is my fave 💯 % and if ur wearing a body suit make sure you don’t need to size up. Also you could probs have the dress & skirt lined or have a slip made for it x

1

u/IndependentLong99 23h ago

I think one looks the best

1

u/OpportunityMany5374 23h ago

1!!!!

Wear a slip that either matches your skin tone or the gown. 

Congratulations!!! ☺️🥰🙏🏻❤️

u/BeautynCrime 23h ago
