    Every reply you have made leads me to suspect you adore number two :)

    So I vote number two, because if you don't love it, you won't feel special :D

    But you could always wear both- get changed for the evening or something, give everyone twice the "big dress" value:D

    While OH is busy :o

    DRESS NUMBER 1

    The train is a lot longer but I'm having that altered

    If I decide on this one then I will have the buttons to the tip of the train I think because the back is very plain


    Dress number 2
    Comes with a lace bolero which I didn't like but's grown on me, it has sparkles all over it

    It also has little buttons straight down the back of the dress

    There is also dress number 3 :o I have decide against that one, I have bought 2 dresses altogether BUT I keep thinking about number 2 which I had decided on but got number 1 as a bargain. confused.com


    I think I may go back to try number 2 on and take pictures and go to MOH and try number 1 on and take pictures again.

    It sounds like you're leaning towards dress #2 but dress #1 is soooo beautiful! It depends on whether you want the sparkliness off the first dress or the more traditional looking lacy floweriness of the second?

    Try them both on and see how you really feel, only you will know which dress is the perfect one for you and it may not be the most sensible choice!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Now I've seen the other pics, I like number 2 more, as I love the colour of #1, but in the first pic you posted in the OP, not so keen as much on the dress in the colour which you have sorry.

    You're getting married in October so the bolero for dress #2 would cover your arms, plus I think that second dress with the bolero would look gorgeous if you would be having your hair up!

    With the 'real' pictures, I am leaning toward dress two and LOVE the bolero too. The second dress seems 'slightly' more elegant, but thats just my personal taste.

    From the pictures NO1.
    BUT and this is a big but, its all about how it makes you feel, if you feel stunning you will look stunning. If you feel crap you'll look crap.

    How do the dresses feel when you have them on, i tried on the dress i fell in love with from a picture and hated it i felt like a human lighbulb dressed in a giant lampshade.

    I was also rolling around on the floor and dancing with my friend and running around when i tried my dress on, i wanted to know i could ''wear'' it and not just stand there in it. Some of the dresses made me feel very uncomfortable and i just didnt want to move, i felt like all i could do was stand still.

    So i went with the dress that i felt stunning in and that i could run around after my 3 kids and not worry.

    Only you can choose hun.

  • I'm confused as to which one is which... but I love the one thats got all the sparklies on the bodice and not the bolero. It's gorgeous and girlie and the train in amazing. It's a good job I've nearly got my dress or I might want that one!!!

    The first one in both sets of pictures is the one I have purchased (the one with the 'bling' on the bodice) and yes it is Ivory

    The second one has a bolero and like someone suggested it will be perfect for October It looks more feminine



    I got goose bumps when I saw dress number 2, I tried it on and my MOH and my mum cried.
    I have another month to decide before it's too late to order it
