Hi

I actually bought the blue one but keep thinking about the white one. I've asked my children and they each chose a different one!
I am thinking of returning the blue one and going for the white. It's a registry office wedding and after party at the local hall. I'm 37, first marriage if it makes a difference.
I'd appreciate honest opinions on which one looks better or if they both look awful.
Thank you

I vote white

HannaYeah · 08/03/2020 20:43

Both are equally gorgeous! It’s just a matter of your color preference for your wedding.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 08/03/2020 20:44

The difference for me is in the dipped waist of the white dress. The blue dress waist cuts you properly in two and makes your boobs look bigger. If you could get a blue dress shaped like the white one you'd be laughing.
I'm nitpicking because you have a lovely figure and they are both nice.

JoyceDivision · 08/03/2020 20:47

Both beautiful but the white has the edge, blue one seems to look bulkier?

Binterested · 08/03/2020 20:47

Agree with Lady. The waistline is more elegant on the white one - and the skirt has a lovely gentle fall to it.

Iloveantiques · 08/03/2020 20:47

White ❤️

DrinkSangriaInThePark · 08/03/2020 20:49

The white, with a light spray tan it will look beautiful

Normandy144 · 08/03/2020 20:49

I'd go for the white one, but if I'm being brutally honest i think you can do better and find a nicer white dress. The blue one is ok as a dress but in no way is it bridal. Just because it's a registry do doesn't mean you can go for white if you want. If you have time i would have another look. You have a nice figure I'm sure you can find something better.

Bubblysqueak · 08/03/2020 21:05

I think the blue one looks gorgeous on you, but they are both beautiful, so I'm not really much help.

Violetparis · 08/03/2020 21:10

White, I think it fits lovely.

Hopingtobeamum · 08/03/2020 21:12

Congratulations!
Definitely the white one

ShirleyPhallus · 08/03/2020 21:14

The white one. The blue one could be worn to a Christmas ball at the local golf club or something, but you won’t get the chance to wear the white one again

That said, I think you could find a slightly more flattering one as the white one is fine but I think you could do better, for some reason the shape makes me think of a medieval banquet....

KitKat1985 · 08/03/2020 21:15

I prefer the white one.

greenflamingo · 08/03/2020 21:19

White

Concestor · 08/03/2020 21:21

The white one is too short so on that basis I'd go with the blue. Unless that's just a sample.
Are you sure either of them is right? Usually you know when you've found the one.

Runnerduck34 · 08/03/2020 21:25

Both are beautiful and you look great in both, obviously the white is more traditionally bridal, I actually prefer the blue dress but for a wedding i can see why you might go for the white, depends on what you want!

onanothertrain · 08/03/2020 21:28

Blue, the white one is not flattering and looks cheap

WestCountryLady · 08/03/2020 21:29

I love the white one

StCharlotte · 08/03/2020 21:37

As someone who had a navy bodice on mine, I vote blue Smile

partofthepeanutgallery · 08/03/2020 21:43

The blue dress is a nicer dress, imo.

TheTiaraManager · 08/03/2020 21:43

What did you feel nicer in? Did you envisage a coloured dress?

AlphaIndigo · 08/03/2020 21:44

The white one is the better of the 2 but I think there is probably an even better dress out there for you if I'm honest.

m0therofdragons · 08/03/2020 21:50

I love that blue one - it's really makes the most of your figure.

QuiteForgetful · 08/03/2020 21:58

The white/cream dress is really nice on you. Flattering to your skin tone. The other one does not seem like bridal dress, it looks a lot like my god daughters prom dress that she wore 2 years ago.

QuiteForgetful · 08/03/2020 22:19

PS. You look nice in both! The blue fits better.
