Wedding dress advice

Please help me decide between two wedding dresses!

After trying on at least 20 dresses I am down to two. They both have a V neck and a V shape at the back, lots of lace on the dress and lace edging round the train. The difference is that Dress 1 is very nipped in at the waist and then has a bigger princessy type skirt with a long train, and Dress 2 is a figure hugging mermaid style dress which goes in less at the waist and fits snugly over the hips and bum and has a smaller train. They both feel quite comfortable.

Dress 1 is probably more “bridal” in that I couldn’t wear that type of dress any other time. I also will be less worried about it fitting properly because it just needs to fit tightly at the waist, and my waist size never changes much.

Dress 2 is much more grown up and glamorous but I feel like once it’s been measured I will have to be quite careful not to change size or shape very much between now and the wedding. I usually lose a bit of weight over the summer and I would like to do some work to tone up my back and arms, but if I lose weight off my bum or thighs instead, Dress 2 might not fit so well, whereas Dress 1 would still be OK.

What would you do?

I am 32 by the way. Smile

Thank you.

Ooh nice... I like 1 better but that's what I would go for. 2 is nice too. It's a bit "sexier" though - depends if you want that or not?

I much prefer dress 2. Dress 1 is a lovely dress. Dress 2 is a wow dress
