do you like these dresses for spring wedding?
Permalink Closed

I've gone dress shopping over the past two days. I purchased the two dresses pictured below. Please pick a favorite.

The wedding is at 9 AM in late April at Walt Disney World, in the Italy area of Epcot. I'm wearing my bronze Loeffler Randalls. I'll be meeting the BF's parents and numerous aunts/uncles/cousins who are gossipy so I HAVE to look my best. *stresses out*

1. Rebecca Taylor $210 (on sale from $350 at Cusp aka Neiman's version of Barney's Co-Op). Dress is a soft cotton with wooden bead/jewel embellisments.


Forget Me Not dress large view

2. Tabitha ($148 full price at Anthro). Dress is a stiffer cotton, like a retro shift. I'm worried about the scale of the dress' print since I'm petite.



3. Scratch them and find something else.

4. Keep both...I have a wedding with the same group of people in September in CA that's at 2 PM in a Catholic church.

TIA!

both dresses are really cute, though!

The first one is so pretty, but I would worry about the neckline too. If it's not too low, I vote for #1!

Can we see pictures of them on you?

I'm leaning toward the first one, but also worried that it might show too much.

I will try and post pics later today. I'm using a public computer right now.

(FWIW I swear that dress #1, if anything, makes my chest smaller in a good way)

While I like the second print better I was worried about the higher neckline making your chest look larger. It would help for us to see the pics though like luckylily said.

Yeah, I wanna see them on you before my final vote but I'm leaning towards #1 and if it's too low you could always do a cami underneath.  Although if both look great on you, then I say keep both and wear the other to the wedding in Sept, because that second dress is adorbale too and very lilykind

I'm leaning toward #2, but need to see irl pics.
#1 is giving me a little to much of a "traditional asian dress" vibe when I picture it on you

I like them both, but I would probably pick #1.  I agree with FP in that you could always put a cami underneath and be fine with any cleavage issues.

Oh yes, #1 is very cute, but I love the print on the 2nd one. I agree, MUST see how they look on you before I too make my decision. LOL

Actually both of them really look like you. I do love the tabitha print IRL however.

I love that Tabitha dress, and I also love the print on the first one but I'm not completely sold on the embellishments.

I agree.  I'm really not sure how I feel about the beading.  Based on that, I like the second one.

I'm not a huge fan of embelishments in general, but I like 1. My first thought was too low to meet the family. I know this might be weird or not work, but what about a cami of some sort to raise the neckline, in a cream or orange, perhaps?
I love the cut and print of two, but hate the fabric in real life.
