Please help me decide which (budget) wedding dress, photos attached.

Totally different but liking elements of them both but which one?

Second one without a doubt it's stunning

You look lovely in the first one. I'm sorry but the 2nd one looks a bit 1980s.
The first one needs taking in as you can see it is a little big of you, but once that's done you will look fabulous. You have a great figure.

I prefer the first one, especially if you get it tailored to you.

2nd one

#1 is shapeless, it's only that you're holding it around your waist that it actually gives you any shape.

#2 reminds me of a bridal nightie that you might wear in your wedding night.

Can you get #1 altered to fit properly.

I think your age is relevant here.... 30's and it's the first one 50's and it's the second!

I like the first one (one altered) and with accessories (long veil perhaps to make it more bridal)
The second one is lovely but the sleeves would be nicer more tailored to you

They’re both ivory and from the current range of Monsoon, although I managed to bag myself a bargain on the second one and got it through eBay.

The second one I love the fact my arms are covered, the first I love the sparkle element but it does need adjusting.

I just don’t know.

1st one.

I’m very late 40’s

Get number one taken in on the waist it’s lovely on you.

So perhaps the sparkle one is too young for me.

1st one.

The first one is pretty.

Marginally the second one but both really need to be tailored, they both look a bit baggy and shapeless.

Is 2nd one a bit see through as well or is that the light?

The first one, tweaked to fit
I really don't like the second one, it reminds me of net curtains.

The first as the second looks like the kind of nightie Margot from The Good Life might have worn.

This is the back of the lacy one

Both will look lovely if you can get someone to tailor them for you

I don't like the material on the second one, I think it looks quite cheap, sorry. I don't think the first one is too young for you at all, it just needs taking in and it'll look lovely. No need to cover your arms!

That is beautiful from behind. It doesn’t quite fit round your chest, do you know someone who could tailor it cheaply

Having now seen the back of the lacy one it's definitely like a wedding-night nightie.

Go for 1.

The first. The second one looks quite dated to me.

First one, you look beautiful.

The second one is the best shape on you. I don't get the nightie comments - it's lovely from the back too.
