Please help me pick which dress

I think that one of these may be the one but cant decide.
Number one doesn't fit and has some loose cups added in the wrong place it is covered in little clear sequins that are quite sparkly which the picture doesn't show.
Number two is a good fit and you can see all the details.
By the way I am over 55 so trying to dress appropriately:)
Thanks for any advice

One

VeThings · 14/10/2019 07:28

Will the belt on one be raised up to your waist? It cuts across you but has potential to look nicer than two

happystory · 14/10/2019 07:30

Two. They are both very nice but I like the material of two better

AnneKipanki · 14/10/2019 07:31

The belt is a bit low on the first one .
Difficult choice .

PoohBearsHole · 14/10/2019 07:33

Two :)

ohmysoul · 14/10/2019 07:43

Two. Looks so much better.

BrokenWing · 14/10/2019 07:47

They are both very similar, but the belt in the first one is not flattering and looks like it is sitting on your hips/wide and hiding your waist. The v at the waist on the second one defines your waist and give a much nicer shape.

Annie I think that the belt will be higher because looking at the pictures the dress is not high enough at the top it needs pulling up.

Happy story the material is really nice it just looks odd on the pic cos it's hanging badly as it is miles too long.

Thanks for the opinions so far, jury is still out!!

I like first one but you’ll need it fitted to you properly. Both are a bit Cinderella for someone in their 50s. But it’s your day as the saying goes so wear what makes you feel great!

floravus · 14/10/2019 07:51

Two, the material of the skirt seems so much softer and nicer flowing

Daftness · 14/10/2019 07:55

Definitely two.

Rainbowqueeen · 14/10/2019 07:57

Two
For all the reasons everyone else has said
And congrats!!

Siablue · 14/10/2019 07:59

I think the are both lovely but like one best. Congratulations!

MrBobLobLaw · 14/10/2019 08:02

Number two is my fave, love the closet skirt and it's more flattering round your waist.

Are you set on strapless? I just think something with straps might be more flattering but I'm not big on strapless so I could be biased!

Pipandmum I did wonder if they were at a bit OTT but my 1st wedding and marriage were awful and this time we are having a church so I thought why not have what I like this time around :)

I'm your age and would want a little jacket to wear too. Sorry.

Jacksback · 14/10/2019 08:10

Dress 2
I like the skirt weight it looks fluid
It is a bit bare tho are you getting married abroad ?

WatchingTheMoon · 14/10/2019 08:10

Ignore the age comments, who cares what age you are. You look great.

I'm not a fan of strapless dresses but I prefer 1, but it does need to be better fitted.

xJune88 · 14/10/2019 08:11

I prefer number 2 but looks like something is missing? I'm not sure what though. Congratulations x

cocomelon23 · 14/10/2019 08:14

Number one flatters your figure more than two. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding

MrBobLobLaw · 14/10/2019 08:14

Apologies I meant I love the flowy skirt of number 2 not closet skirt.

AltheaVestr1t · 14/10/2019 08:18

Two. It looks lovely! Congratulations!

woodymiller · 14/10/2019 08:42

One if you can get it altered, it looks like it needs to come a couple of inches further up your body.

averythinline · 14/10/2019 09:54

One if it was hoincked up a bit ...don't like the xtra frill around the bottom of 2 .. 1 looks nicked material and a bit more swishy/flattering

averythinline · 14/10/2019 09:55

Nice material for 1 not sure what happened thereBlush
