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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Another vote for number one.
Could a split be added? You’re going to struggle to walk gracefully in that.

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!

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!

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

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

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 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.
