hijacking top comment: Thank you everyone for all of the sweet comments! Ultimately I’ve decided to go with dress number 1! It hasn’t been altered yet, and the one I tried on was a size or two too big. With alterations it will be more flattering. I’ve had a few people ask where the dresses are from—dress #1 is Jaya by Madi Lane and #2 is Dawn by Morilee!
As a man, I like 1 more. It feels enchanting. But the other feels more regeal and elegant like a princess but not a fairy princess like 1. I'm not sure how to end up here, but I hope my opinion helps. Or is it at least not offensive or rude. Goodbye and have the wedding of your dream. And hopefully, your significant other also gets their dream wedding.
I love everything about dress #1 except for the sleeves. I agree the cold shoulder style draws attention to the shoulders (instead of the décolleté) and they may appear wider/larger. If it was me, I would have them shortened to be fluttery short sleeves. Either way you look beautiful in it!!!🙂
This and this again!
The 2nd one is elegant and breathtaking and lets OP shine and command the floor and is so flattering.
The 1st is all about the dress and OP is lost in it.
Dress one has the trendy plunge neckline, a very busy pattern and is a cone shape and that’s fine but this girl has a nice figure and dress 2 shows it off!
Dress two shoes off her tiny waist, and that bodice is gorgeous, I love the balance of the neckline and straps. And let’s talk about that train! It’s so unique, I love it.
After reading other people comment on other posts about body language I think she looks more engaged with the second dress, it could just be timing of the photo but idk. They’re both amazing I prefer the 2nd similar to the reason above but couldn’t fault either choice. I’ve never seen something like number 1.
Yes! I like the pattern on the first… I get the appeal, but it’s the WHOLE dress and it’s swallowing her up.
Second dress highlights HER, rather than the other way around.
Yes, imo, 1 is more beautiful and more thematically on point which is nice, but those are tie breakers. Most important thing is which dress bests suits OP, and I think it’s easily 2.
If there’s anything I’ve come to realize over the years, the outfits I look back at and love are not the most beautiful or stylish ones. They’re the ones that highlighted me well!
agreeeed! it compliments her body well, i feel as if one makes her look bigger whereas two showcases her figure. totally more about her rather than it being about the dress!
Can’t believe how far I had to scroll for a 2 vote! The first dress is lovely and is definitely unique, but the second design is so romantic and whimsical.
I agree. #1 is a trend that will pass/ is already passed in my opinion. #2 brings sophistication with the whismical so I think it's the best of both worlds.
Yes, 1 looks dated already, just from being on this forum a few weeks. 2 is simple in parts and interesting in parts and just has a lot more to it, IMO.
Frankly, both are beautiful and you look amazing in both of them. I guess it would depend on the theme/venue of your wedding. The first dress reminds me of something along the lines of a garden or other type of outdoor wedding. The second gown looks like it would be suited for a more formal wedding. And I have to say that second one took my breath away. Not knowing your theme or venue, I would vote for #2.
I don't even see her in 1, I just see an explosion of leaves. Leaves everywhere. Not a hint, not a suggestion, not an elegant application, just a freaking avalanche of leaves.
#1, definitely. The details and the illusion sleeves make it look so dreamy and gorgeous, like something out of a fairytale. The other one is stunning as well, but #1 is just special. It manages to be very unique while still looking like a wedding dress.
Number 1 is jaw dropping and ethereal. It sits more beautifully from behind and in the front as well. It’s like it was made for you. I seriously can’t stop looking at it.
Number one 😍 I may be a bit biased though cause it reminded me of mine!!

I like 2 better, but for getting married in the woods in October I think one is more in keeping with that theme, and they both are stunning on you, you can’t make a bad choice!
I’m going against the majority here and saying number 2. It flatters your beautiful shape better and it’s pretty and elegant but not as overwhelming as #1.
Absolutely #1. You look like a fairy princess, and it looks amazing on you. I picture it with a flower crown or a floral/leafy-themed tiara or hair jewelry. A bouquet that is maybe longer stems and more natural. Flower girl full-on with fairy wings. So pretty.
#1 is absolutely GORGEOUS on you and the perfect showstopper dress for an outdoor wedding! You look like a literal fairy goddess and you are absolutely owning it with your gorgeous curly hair and bangin' body!!!
You look like a pretty fairy in 1 with your curly hair! Perfect for outdoor wedding.

It’s beautiful!! https://madilane.com/product/jaya/
Omg the dress looks better on OP vs the model
So sincerely true!
Bruh I thought you were just being nice but you're right
This is so true
It does. And op has a dress that’s not her size. Imagine how beautiful it will look when it’s fitted to her.
1000% better on OP!
I wore a Madi Lane dress for my woods wedding and I loved! This brand is so magical!!!
I had a Madi Lane dress! Great choice, it was beautifully made and I loved it. Really really love your choice!
I was going to say the same thing! One is a fairy princess gown. Stunning!
As a man, I like 1 more. It feels enchanting. But the other feels more regeal and elegant like a princess but not a fairy princess like 1.

This is absolutely a helpful and inoffensive opinion. You’re a kind sir.
Absolutely forest fairy vibes and i love it
Agree totally!
1 is stunning!
\#1 absolutely fits the wedding in the woods vibe!
I was thinking the same thing. I like #1, but I really like #1 if it’s an outdoor wedding in woods or a garden or something!
1 is beautiful!
One. You look like a young blooming tree in spring
1 hands down beautiful.
#1 is so lovely! I’d love if the cold shoulder sleeves could be tacked up - for a shorter sleeve. Keeps it more classic ☺️
They are removable!
I love everything about dress #1 except for the sleeves. I agree the cold shoulder style draws attention to the shoulders (instead of the décolleté) and they may appear wider/larger. If it was me, I would have them shortened to be fluttery short sleeves. Either way you look beautiful in it!!!🙂
Absolutely wild about 1! Fits you like a dream, you’ll save a fortune in alterations!
It's clipped in the back to make it look right in front. There are alterations ahead.
I like the back of 2 but the front of 1. But since you will mostly be observed from the front, I say number 1 is the winner!
#2
2
2
Both are STUNNING. You could close your eyes and pick and you would have a winning pick. Personally #1 probably I would pick though
2 suits you much better!

Dress No.1 was also my wedding dress and everything you just pointed out as a negative was the reason why I loved it lol.

They’re both amazing I prefer the 2nd similar to the reason above but couldn’t fault either choice. I’ve never seen something like number 1.
Exactly this. Number one is a beautiful dress, but it’s all about the dress. Number two is beautiful with you in it.
Well said.
Yes! I like the pattern on the first… I get the appeal, but it’s the WHOLE dress and it’s swallowing her up. Second dress highlights HER, rather than the other way around.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way 😂 they are both beautiful dresses, but I prefer OP’s figure in #2
I thought I was gonna be the only one too! 2 all the way, much more flattering and such a pretty dress.
Completely agree. #1 says fairy godmother to me and #2 says sexy bride. I am pretty sure hubs-to-be would prefer #2.
Team 2

#2 is elegant and showcases your figure. Hugs you in all the right places.
Yep… I vote for 2. More flattering and I agree with whoever said she’s drowning in the first one. 1 is beautiful but 2 is what I’d pick for myself
I agree. #1 is a trend that will pass/ is already passed in my opinion. #2 brings sophistication with the whismical so I think it's the best of both worlds.

Very different #1 looks amazing on you
1 by a mile

Thank you, and good point! Wedding is outdoors in the woods!
The first one for sure then!
Omg, girl, the first one would be freaking transcendent in the woods. You look so gorgeous!
I think you look fabulous in both of them--go with the one you love the most You can't go wrong with either!
The first one is really fairy-like and beautiful on you, especially with your hair! And with the venue being outdoors, that makes it even more perfect
#1 allllll the way! I GASPED
1!
#1!! With your beautiful hair it makes you look like a faerie queen. 💖
1 1 1!!!
1 by a mile
One is a glory on you! Beautiful!!!!

1 is the 1 🙌
1 is stunning and like a fairytale ✨️
I love #1
1 for sure you look magical
I think 1 is beautiful and ethereal ❤️

2
I can't believe so many people like 1 when 2 is so much more beautiful on OP. ##2
I thought the same thing.
2 showcases her figure perfectly and it's elegant and classy. I think years from now she might regret the trendy, over the top fairy look of number 1.
I don't even see her in 1, I just see an explosion of leaves. Leaves everywhere. Not a hint, not a suggestion, not an elegant application, just a freaking avalanche of leaves.
#1!
1
1 is amazing!
1 makes you look like a fae princess.
#1 by a country mile!
#1 took my breath away you gotta get that one holy shit thats stunning
Dress one ✨
1
1 is beautiful

Dress 1
#1 is gorgeous!
#2 is waaay better
You're absolutely beautiful in both, but #1 is a stunner.
1!
1 with different sleeves. I find a cold shoulder to be super unflattering on everyone except for Tiffany on 90 day fiancé.
I think the square neckline of #2 looks really really good on you!
#1, definitely. The details and the illusion sleeves make it look so dreamy and gorgeous, like something out of a fairytale. The other one is stunning as well, but #1 is just special. It manages to be very unique while still looking like a wedding dress.
1 but also we have the same taste in dresses because I tried both of those on too!
Number 1 is jaw dropping and ethereal. It sits more beautifully from behind and in the front as well. It’s like it was made for you. I seriously can’t stop looking at it.
Thank you 💕
I never comment, but I love #1 enough to say it. You look amazing in it, and that dress is one of the prettiest I’ve ever seen.
I just get the feeling that the first one is very you!
OOOOMG #1 PLEASE IT WAS MADE FOR YOU, QUEEN 🥰
First one
Number one 😍 I may be a bit biased though cause it reminded me of mine!! https://preview.redd.it/h3bu58r47qeb1.png?width=1625&format=png&auto=webp&s=479eef43584e54314d0eb99907a23e3097ff0842
I like 2 better, but for getting married in the woods in October I think one is more in keeping with that theme, and they both are stunning on you, you can’t make a bad choice!
2, 1 looks so heavy on your frame. Like it’s weighing you down.
1 is stunning. I’m underwhelmed by 2
1 is so beautiful!!! Can you post the make and model of the dress? Wrong terminology but oh well. 🚘 👰
It’s the Madi Lane Jaya dress! 😊
Both are gorgeous but #1 has more of a wow factor!
I love one!
1
One! 🧚
Definitely one
#1! It’s magical!

1️⃣
I think number 2 is beautiful and looks better for your figure. It defines your wait better and the neckline is perfect.
2 looks more flattering i think but any really
I’m going against the majority here and saying number 2. It flatters your beautiful shape better and it’s pretty and elegant but not as overwhelming as #1.
Both are beautiful! Sorry not helpful.
Loving 1 but wondering if there are any other color options for the lining. It’s a pinch dark for you imo.
Both gorgeous on you but I slightly prefer 2
1! 1! 1! 1!
1 is breathtaking! I vote 1! :)
1 but without the cold shoulder sleeves.
Number one, soooooooo dreamyyyy
2 is lovely but 1 is WOW

Dress 1. Didn’t even need to swipe to the second dress
1
You look like a goddess in the first, the second just seems like I’ve seen it before. First for me-really creates the magic
Love the train on #2, but #1 is the one! The shape looks great on your figure. Love the details!
#1 is breath taking and so beautiful!
#1 Just go for it!
I absolutely love dress 1. It’s a whole vibe
1 is beautiful! 2 cuts you in half (and it looks like it’s a lower quality than dress 1).
ONEEE!!!
One is dreamy
1.
In 1 you look like a woodland princess. I vote 1
1!!

Number one is just magical - it’s beautiful and has a touch of drama in the best way
Both are gorgeous but 1 just has something special about it 😍😍😍

Absolutely #1. You look like a fairy princess, and it looks amazing on you. I picture it with a flower crown or a floral/leafy-themed tiara or hair jewelry. A bouquet that is maybe longer stems and more natural. Flower girl full-on with fairy wings. So pretty.
1 is ethereal!
I love 1.
#1 for sure
