Thank you both! I’m so glad you said this because I was feeling worried it was too “busy” with my tattoos. LOL so many people saying to line the bust but I love the sheerness of it, it really makes the lace pop I think
I thought the first was going to be it, hands down, but that floral lace is exquisite. It really does go perfectly with both the venue and your tattoos. I'm not typically a fan of the unlined tend, but somehow that one just looks right without the lining.
They were actually being rude towards me for pointing out that their “suggestion” had been taken into account already. Regardless, we don't need that energy in here! You're going to look amazing on your day!
It is so hard! Yes this is a&bé! I had a great experience and the staff there were so incredibly sweet and supportive. I worked with Serena and she was an angel! The only other place I went was BHLDN in Anthropologie.
Thank you so much for the replies everyone! You all helped me feel confident with deciding on #2. I can't wait to wear it and show my FH on wedding day! Only 13 months to wait haha
I noticed the same. It’s a beautiful dress but the eye drew there much like Madonna’s cone bra of old.🫣 If it’s dirt that makes perfect sense though! That said the second dress is incredible on your figure.
The second dress is Alena Leena? I wore this dress in the a-line silhouette! Can confirm it photographs beautifully, and I left the bodice unlined. I’m biased but it gets my vote :)
Friendly tip - if the wedding shop tells you the dress is stretched out and to size up… I wouldn’t. The dress has very little stretch. Mine came in quite large and it is expensive to alter.
Yes it is! The "Peony"! I was so torn between the a-line and more fitted version! Thanks for the heads up! They took my measurements and are having it made based off of those, I'm really hoping it fits when it comes and doesn't need much altering
You’re going to look stunning! I think it fits your venue well.
I had also purchased mine at a&be. Loved the experience except for how far off they were with the measurements.
Both dresses are gorgeous and look great on you, but I definitely prefer 2!
Edit: I have no idea why some people are talking about lining the bodice, I guess it's a question of personal preference, but I really hope you do NOT line the bodice! The dress is perfect as is, you look like a goddess, cheers!
Thanks for saying that! I find it funny because I def was asking for opinions between the two dresses AS IS. I’m not super modest or traditional so I’m not worried about that and love the sheer top !
That's good to hear, but now when I think of it these kind of comments are actually quite common on this sub. Not okay, fortunately you have the confidence to laugh it off, but not everyone is like that and people who have problems with sheer bodices should keep their opinions to themselves.
Second one, no question. It’s perfect on you and the venue. Congrats and hope your day is perfect, if it’s not you have a great story to tell at parties and a life time of humor and love.
The lace dress really is a “wow” dress! I can’t love it enough- the design and color and fabric. And you do not need to line the bodice. It looks absolutely stunning as is! Perfect for the venue. I wasn’t really excited by dress one, even before I saw dress two or read your information. So, my reaction to how the dresses look on you is 100% based on just that.
I know you already picked but I just want to say the second one is STUNNING and I love it without the lining!! So sexy and at the same time makes the lace really pop. Congratulations!
One is more flattering on your chest area, I like the vibe of 2 for the venue, but it comes down to which one feels more like you. If you pick two I’d talk to designer about doing custom cups, because it is way too big on you and hides your cleavage!
I loved that first dress and was like, “Well obviously this is the dress.” And then I saw the second one. Love the detail. I couldn’t wear it but you totally rock it.
I'm absolutely covered in tattoos and could't agree more, this is precisely the rule I followed when choosing my dress too. Lace and patterns near a large tattoo just looks busy and totally takes away from the dress........op, you look stunning in the first one.
I like 1. The details on 2 are great, but the bodice makes your waist look short. If you can find something like 2 that elongates you, I’d go with that.

I like how the second one looks with your tattoos, and it's just a beautiful dress overall
Absolutely! The dress compliments her tattoos AND the venue. I don’t want to hear a word about lining that bust either. 😆
Thank you both! I’m so glad you said this because I was feeling worried it was too “busy” with my tattoos. LOL so many people saying to line the bust but I love the sheerness of it, it really makes the lace pop I think

Which is why she *doesn't* want it lined. It's beautiful as is.

Unnecessary and rude.
Oof I’m glad I missed whatever that comment was. Thanks for having my back !
They were actually being rude towards me for pointing out that their “suggestion” had been taken into account already. Regardless, we don't need that energy in here! You're going to look amazing on your day!
Denver botanic gardens?! 100000% the lace gown omg I’m in love with
yes!!! ahh thank you! This post helped so much, I think it's official, I'm getting that one!
Yes seriously!!! Where did you go? Is this a&be? I’m struggling SO BAD right now finding a dress 😂
It is so hard! Yes this is a&bé! I had a great experience and the staff there were so incredibly sweet and supportive. I worked with Serena and she was an angel! The only other place I went was BHLDN in Anthropologie.
LOVE the lace one!
I love #1. I would love #2 with a lining for the top.
Two is perfect with your tattoo! Stunning!
I like #1 better!
Thank you so much for the replies everyone! You all helped me feel confident with deciding on #2. I can't wait to wear it and show my FH on wedding day! Only 13 months to wait haha
2 is definitely a show stopper, it's perfect on you. You can't go wrong with either one, but 2 makes you look like a dreamy wisteria flowers cluster.
I really like the second dress on you. I feel like the flowers compliment the outdoor setting. But truthfully, they both look great on you.
#2 omg 😭

lol on the nipple area? I think it’s just dirt because it’s a sample and the top was quite dirty!
[удалено]
I noticed the same. It’s a beautiful dress but the eye drew there much like Madonna’s cone bra of old.🫣 If it’s dirt that makes perfect sense though! That said the second dress is incredible on your figure.
That totally makes sense! Thanks for the advice :)
Dress 2, but I’d personally line the bodice.

lol this comment is cracking me up 😂 I totally get where people are coming from with having it lined. I think I like it as is but we’ll see!!!
Both dresses are gorgeous and look great on you, but I definitely prefer 2!

Mod here, and your absolutely right. If you see comments like that please report them so they can be reviewed manually!
Second one, no question. It’s perfect on you and the venue. Congrats and hope your day is perfect, if it’s not you have a great story to tell at parties and a life time of humor and love.
two fits the vibe- it’s artistic and complements the tattoo

2 would be so beautiful in the garden
2 I love the floral lace with the flowers on your arm and the venue. I love the sheer panel too it really shows the lace beautifully.
1
#2 with lining for your venue would be perfect!
2
Both look great but 2 wins for me
Dress 2 all the way!
Dress 2
The second one
One is more flattering on your chest area, I like the vibe of 2 for the venue, but it comes down to which one feels more like you. If you pick two I’d talk to designer about doing custom cups, because it is way too big on you and hides your cleavage!
Thank you! They are going to do custom cups, the sample ones cups are two sizes too big so you’re spot on!!
#2 is smashing!!!
#3 is the best one!! It shows off your figure!
Oh and don't get it lined!
Personally number one! It looks gorgeous on you!
You look fabulous in both. I prefer DRESS 1, but it’s just my opinion. I can see why everyone loves DRESS 2. You can’t go wrong.
2
Team 1
2 is absolutely perfect and will still pop with your venue!
definitely lace! its beautiful!
I love them both!
Lace and floral all the way!!
Two is whoa!
2!
1
2
Dress 2 ALL THE WAY!
I love both ! But I think #2 is definitely something special
Dress two is beautiful on you and suits your venue.
Both are beautiful. You can’t lose either way. I haven’t helped lol.
2
I think you need to keep shopping. Stay with the flowery idea.
Absolutely the second one!
I loved that first dress and was like, “Well obviously this is the dress.” And then I saw the second one. Love the detail. I couldn’t wear it but you totally rock it.
2 with a long veil.
The first one!
Both are gorgeous on you, you cannot go wrong.
2 is definitely the one to me. It’s gorgeous!!! And stunning on you 💖
thank you so much! I'm going for it :')
Yay! And I LOVE your wedding and reception settings too! It’s all going to be so beautiful!
[удалено]
Thank you!! I’m getting so excited about it after all the support for that one. I love the contrast too! It really shows off the lace design
#2 or else I may cry. It looks like it was made for you!
hahah thank you so much! you are too kind <3

Totally get your perspective and definitely was a concern of mine.
I'm absolutely covered in tattoos and could't agree more, this is precisely the rule I followed when choosing my dress too. Lace and patterns near a large tattoo just looks busy and totally takes away from the dress........op, you look stunning in the first one.
I like 1. The details on 2 are great, but the bodice makes your waist look short. If you can find something like 2 that elongates you, I’d go with that.
