Amazing photos of a siimilar dress to no.1?

The first one looks similar to the one I wanted ( with the neckline or lack of) - attached link shows it being worn where I got married it helps to see your dress in context to the venue.
. The same dress is also on StillWhite but you’ll see it looks different when just snapped out of context. So remember how a gown looks to you and in photos are different things.

However I really like the second one. Mostly the material. Looks very different but in a classy way. I think thick straps let it down though ( done both ways)

At first I thought dress 1 now I'm dress 2! They're both stunning on you!

Take photos sneakily- get someone to pretend they're texting- I did it at all of my dress appointments!

2 I love the neckline. Not keen on how deep the V is in the first dress.

Dress 2, dress 2, dress 2!! It looks amazing, elegant, classy, a bit unusual. I prefer the straps straight at the back.

It's beautiful.

And you have an amazing figure. Envy

Dress 2 with the straps the way they are in the first picture and the little triangle bit staying in!

Gorgeous! X

I saw dress 2 in a wedding shop window a short while ago and thought 'if only...' as it's been three years since my wedding :) I'd buy it on the spot. It's totally unique, classy and very flattering for small boobs. You're obvs trying on a store sample, you will look absolutely stunning in one fitted to your size and frame.

Dress two! You have a gorgeous back, definitely play on that and don’t you dare cross the straps!

Dress 2! If I looked like you I’d definitely go for that, it’s much more unique and interesting.

I prefer dress 2. The front is stunning. I do like the back of dress 1 but not keen on the front.

Dress 1 is beautiful except the plunge neckline, and it’s a little generic.
Dress 2 is really lovely, I’m not a massive fan of the little belt/adornment at the waist though.

Dress 2 is my favourite too, it's beautiful. I love a high neck, think they're so flattering

Thanks for all the lovely comments.

Does anyone prefer this one?

this is the other dress from the other shop I liked. That I couldn’t get a photo of. What’s strange is that on the websites, none of the dresses wow me Sad. If I find one that I love online, is there a way to see where stocks it, or is looking online more for general ideas?

I love the back of dress 1 but think the front is a little bit of a let down

I'm not 100% keen on dress 2

However you look lovely in both x

Dress 2! I really don't like the top of dress 1. Two looks elegant.

I think the last dress you just posted (the 'miley') is beautiful

I seen this dress online and thought wow.

I go and try it on at the weekend but no doubt will be underwhelmed when it’s on.

I prefer dress one, but I think the neckline needs to be a touch higher... it's a classy dress in all other respects but the neckline lets it down!

Just realised there was one more option... the Maggie Sottero 'Miley' is gorgeous!

I prefer the second one.
You be got a great figure and would look awesome in a sack!
If you're not sure it might mean you've not found the right dress so keep shopping around?

I love the Miley dress. Have a look at the Hemera and Hera dresses from Dando London....

I'm liking the Miley beaded a line.
Has the things that are nice about dress one but looks more classy & will suit you better I think.
Love the lace!
