Don't know which dress to wear/where can I sell second dress?

Bear with me I'm getting married in four weeks time and as we are eloping nobody knows about it! I've bought two dresses - one sensible Ivory one which is a Maggie Sottero Edwina Marie which has been taken up to fit a petite bride. Then when I was annoyed with my other half I bought a claret wine coloured wedding dress on ebay with a huge tulle skirt. An impulse buy but it's gorgeous.... I have a three year old daughter so I'm wondering wethr to be a traditional bride or a scarlet woman :). Wedding at gretna.......... Any advice? Plus where can I sell the other dress without it costing me a fortune?

    I've found a pic of your maggie dress here it's gorgeous the red 1 sounds fab too have you any pic's of it, do you have a preference or are you totally undecided , how do you feel when you try them on, do you have a trusted friend oh blimey no it's a secret isn't it!! Doh sorry, have you any pic's of yourself in the dress's? We all love a nosey at dress's here.

    I'd go for the full on big skirted one, you only get one chance and it sounds like that's the one that you love really. Flog the other one on ebay.

    I forgot to add that they both weigh a tun so it's difficult to try them on I have tried the maggie on with a friends help and it just fits (can't lose weight easily due to crohns disease as healthy food can make me ill for days). Will be taking the red one to a friends house tomorrow morning. I just looked at the maggie photo and thought it was the right one but the red one is unique, :confused:
