Another dress dilemma - opinions needed ASAP please!!!

Here is the quick story.

 Tried a dress on a couple of months ago - fell in love with it.

Saw it in a sale down to £486 - thinking a bargain but I had one dress left to double check before this one just in case.

So I try to dress on that I hadnt got round to trying on and I loved this one too but in a diffeent way!!

Now im very confused - have slept on it but still not feeling like I know which one I want.

The sale dress was the original and it a corset back so makes my figure look very nice whereas the new dress is a zip so not quite so flattering on the figure in terms of a nice slim waist.

Im going to see if the new dress is avilable in a corset style but I doubt it.

The new one however has a train which I think i really like. My dad said the new one looked too madonna ish with the pointed bust but i did try to explain to him thats probably because the dress was too big so the bust area (bones) will be too big as well!

To make it even harder the shops had very different lighting as well so the new one sparkeld whereas the sale one didnt so much.

Im about a size 10 so wondering if the new one would be overpowering too much.

Im not sure what to do!! couldnt sleep last night and when i did I dreamt about the dresses  - oh dear!!

Looking at the pics again this morning I think i lke the new one better but feel bad now as that ones not in a slae and I now know my dad likes the other one more..

Oh and the sale end on Saturday

Here are the pics.

So here are the pics and please can you help with opinions???

I honestly prefer the first one, its beautiful and the corset back is bonus, but the second one is lovely too. Have you spoke to anyone to see if its possibe to add a corset to it? x

I prefer the first one. they are very similar style - but you say the first one flatters your figure more, and its gorgeous and on sale - which is also very important! I'd go for that one.

What is it you like about the first one compared to the second?

I am worried that the 'new' one will be a bit too much - i dont want to look like Jordan!

The corset backs just make you feel much better and take inches off.

It didnt help that the 'new' one I tried on was way to big so was hard to get the wow effect whereas the sale one fitted perfect.

Im onto the enquiries this morning about changing it to a corset back.

I prefer the first one,  I love the detailing & ruched bodice also with a corset back it is a much more comfortable to wear.

I like the detail on the bust on the first one - the fabric bit that goes across, also the contrast between the top and bottom materials. I also like the structured waist (diagonal lines on the sides) and it's very princessy. a little hard to tell as second one is on a model and long view as well - but that's what I like about the first.

I prefer the first one,  I love the detailing & ruched bodice also with a corset back it is a much more comfortable to wear.

22Tango - Thanks!  the second one AKA new one has the detailing like the sale ones centre panel but all over the bodice. 

My mum notcied fake pearls on the new one and went off to panic in the corner as she's convinced pearls are bad luck!

mothers....

why is that, by the way? lots of brides have pearl necklaces/earrings don't they?

No idea!! but it didnt help!! I think its because she has been married twice and the first time she had a church pearls and a big dress. She got divorced and then re-married to my dad in a registry office and a small reception.

She'd convinced if I get married in a church then it'll end in tears! bless her she doesnt realise the deciding factor to success is if you love your fiance and he loves you!! not if its a church or perals giving you bad luck!!

I like the first one best. I can see what your dad means about the top looking Maddona'ish (I was expecting cones lol) it's the way it curves down to a deeper cleavage.

mines a vote for the first dress too - I like that the detail on the bust is different to the rest of the bodice.  Another couple of plus points are that it has a corset back and its on sale!!!!! 

The second dress is lovely too but I prefer the 1st - go and get it girl!!!!!!

I prefer the first one too. I particularly like the ruching over the bust. Corset back is much more flattering.

ruching

I never knew these things had names... hee hee!

Hi Karen

Personally i like the detailing and ruching of the first one  .... however i think you have to choose what you want ........the dress i choose i loved but kind of ruled out as i wanted a corset back too after trying it on i fell in love with it and a few phone calls later the manufacturers agreed to make it into a corset back all for £100 which i think is reasonable.....
