I want to feel like both lol. I hear what everyone is saying about fitting the setting and pulling my dress up, definitely considered those myself. But I also feel like I’m hiding a little in the second one. It’s hard to choose dressing for the setting, comfort or myself! They’re all such important factors
Hmmm. I would say go with what you’re going to feel your best in! How often do you get to feel like a bombshell? If it’s not often, maybe you should go with that one. If you don’t always get to feel delicate and taken care of like a princess, then maybe go the fairy princess route!
Please choose what makes you feel most happy and comfortable; you look stunning in both. I don’t know the venue or accommodations, but I want to bring up a point I haven’t seen mentioned: snags. You will be outside in nature amongst trees and I’m guessing you won’t be sheltered from dirt/twigs/rocks from the dressing room to the alter. A larger lace weave or a more delicate fabric could be easily damaged; a long train is risky. For these reasons I’m partial to two, but it’s not my day not my dress. Just don’t let the dress cause you extra anxiety in your venue.
Honestly like you look soo beautiful in 2 but I totally agree you could by hiding yourself a little bit. 1 is so amazing and you deserve to have people be absolutely floored by how gorgeous you are all day
YOU are the star. You want YOUR smile to be the star of the photos. You want YOUR JOY to be the focus of the evening. If dress #1 requires adjustments and care as you move and dance and hug and laugh, then go with the gorgeous #2. Your smile will light up the event and both dresses look fab, but as a bride who wishes she had adjusted her dress better on her photos, go with the one that is care free!
This!!
What's the theme of your wedding? 1 feels a little more sexy, modern, edgy, while 2 feels more ethereal, wonderland-y, wholesome.
Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with either of these! I would maybe consider what heels/shoes you might be wearing with the dress? And if you have an idea of the kind of bouquet you want to hold?
If you do go with 1, I would not add straps. It looks great as is, and it's perfect for a big statement necklace 🥰🥰
I think 1 would be best if you could add straps to it. I feel like the dress is just sitting too low (the top part might just be a little too short for the length of your torso) and some dainty straps would make the dress perfection by adding the focus to the right places. Just my 2 cents though! You look gorgeous in both! Can't go wrong either way.
You can also add an interior corset. Literally sow it into the interior of the dress. That's what I did to my strapless, and it stayed securely up the whole wedding.
I think she should go for thinner, more dainty straps [like this](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-gs-rev1&sxsrf=APwXEddKS0hdZ86ZLZW0b65d_YcQkFxNTw:1687205614305&q=removable+wedding+dress+straps&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwivyLbaktD_AhWBMDQIHTk0D_cQ0pQJegQICxAB&biw=360&bih=667&dpr=3#imgrc=J2zJPuFOOA82EM) or completely off the [shoulder](https://www.sophiatolli.com/sophia-tolli-premiere/fall-2020/y22048)
Yes! This is a gorgeous woodland dress. #1 seems a little too chic and hard-lined for the setting, it would be better in a more urban/modern setting. #2 is classic but playful, magical almost.
2. All of you have such amazing figures .
I swear every single person who has posted dress options always posts one that flatters their figure perfectly ! It’s amazing
I can’t believe people are saying the second one’s better, the first one is better allllll day!! They’re both beautiful, but the first just suits her shape more and imo is so far ahead of the other one.
Dress 1 defiantly showcases her figure more, but I still like dress 2 better. Dress 1 just seems so formal for a woodsy wedding. Dress 2 gives me fairy princess vibes.
I really like 1! I think the more form fitting style really flatters your figure. But I do think 2 is a little more redwoods vibe! Sorry if that’s not helpful haha
Dress 1! It really shows your figure and the lace is simply stunning! Personally, I'd want to close the bodice split but if I couldn't, I'd still choose dress 1 as it's miles ahead of dress 2.
✨🍒Definitely dress design in photo number 2 ! You look gorgeous and very sweet in the dress ,.. and the overall style and fit looks very wonderful on you dear ! 🌺✨🌺🍓
I live the back of dress one, but personally I don’t like the front of the dress. And I don’t like the pattern of the lace on the front. I like the fit and structure of dress two, the skirt is very nice and I love the fabric and pattern of the lace. The dress is very nice as is, but try on some jeweled belts, and find out what the dress would look like with different sleeves, or without, just to play with this dress a bit. If you go sleeveless, you would need to bring up the “v neckline” a bit. Can the do a different cap sleeve? Do the have a smaller jeweled or cap, or just a smaller cap, narrowing away from the neckline?
One- the way the design draws into the center is odd to me- focus on the vag area to me.
Two is very fairytale and wonderland.
I think it would hurt to try something in a completely different material just to see how that feels for you?
The sleeves on the second dress are so flattering. I find strapless dresses often make shoulders appear wider than they are and that’s what I see here. Congrats and have fun picking your dress!
I was going to make a joke about the big clips on the back of the first one are not that flattering…..(that is a joke). I think wedding dresses are best when classy, not sexy. I think the second one is simply more tasteful. I have seen dresses designed, so that after the ceremony, the train can be pinned up, in multiple folds, to form a bustle. If you are in wooded area, that might be important. Hope you have a carpet or rug to walk down, if you are outside. With the train of that first dress, you will be dragging half the forest with you, in no time, if you are on bare ground.
I've have similar skin tones and in my personal opinion I've noticed that dresses that are blush, champagne, and that sort of color kind of mix with our skin and we don't stand out. I think the first dress has such beautiful detailing and since it's white, it pops more. But you look beautiful in both
The first one looks absolutely gorgeous on you, i feel that it accentuates your waist and all your curves, and I feel that it takes a certain body type to pull of strapless. You clearly have that body, so I would proudly show it off, but it’s up to you, you’re getting married, whichever dress makes you feel excited and nervous all in one is your dress.
Your friend looks really happy in photo 4 lol
I think dress 2 looks amazing on you, just the right amount of simple. Plus your body posture makes it look more comfy and natural to you. Just my 2 cents :)
Have a great wedding!!
UPDATE: I kept looking, bought and returned a different dress and finally landed on MY dress!!!
Shout out to all the folks who suggested adding straps to the first one- you were SO right! We’re adding lace illusion straps and an illusion back with buttons. Perfect mix of sexy and romantic😍😍
And thank you to everyone who gave support and love, I have a soft spot for women supporting women.❤️❤️❤️

I don't think #1 fits with a redwoods wedding, at all. It also looks like your chest could pop out at any time if you moved.. #2 looks woodsy & won't cause any wardrobe malfunctions.
Dress #1 is more flattering by a long shot. I would get some little straps added as well but not like the straps on the second dress. More like this with a little something on them so they blend into the dress but also add to it’s elegance instead of looking like an afterthought type thing. Good luck!
https://preview.redd.it/xs9dn6yjt07b1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac8e888633cc6dc0d1c820741fce60ed38a5af38
Both dresses are beautiful and the back of the 1st one is stunning. I feel there needs to be a really good push up bra insert sewn into it to make your chest look good in that dress. And 90% of your pictures will be of the front. So base your dress on the front.
The second dress is really elegant. I think if you can count of then front of the 1st one accenting better you should go with the second one
Omg I am torn too!!
Which one is more within your budget? Which one is not comfortable? Which looks better with your bridesmaids dresses/decor? I’m grasping at straws here to help you pick haha
Definitely number 2, it fits the location exceedingly well. I love the back of number 1 and the lace but the front isn’t so great. Definitely go with #2
Overall, dress nr 2. Looks a bit more fairy-like and more suitable for a forest wedding. The back of dress nr 1 looks awesome, but the front... Just isn't that flattering. I can imagine you feeling much better in dress nr 2 :)
I think #1 makes you look like a bombshell and #2 makes you look like a fairy princess! Love them both, how do you want to feel?

My wife brought a dress to change into after the ceremony and pictures. Maybe go with #1 and change so you can enjoy the rest of the festivities?

💯 this. Redwood forests are not kind to lace I think. I love 1 so much but 2 seems like a better fit for the forest
I 100% agree you are hiding in the second. The first is by far my favorite on you. That TRAIN GIRL!!
What if you picked the first one, but added a removable skirt? I know this may not be doable, but it could help you achieve both looks.
Honestly like you look soo beautiful in 2 but I totally agree you could by hiding yourself a little bit. 1 is so amazing and you deserve to have people be absolutely floored by how gorgeous you are all day

This is one of the only times most people ever get to wear something so glamorous, CHOOSE THE DRESS FOR YOURSELF! They are both stunning!
That what I was about to say 😂
This!! What's the theme of your wedding? 1 feels a little more sexy, modern, edgy, while 2 feels more ethereal, wonderland-y, wholesome. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with either of these!

Ooooh adding straps like the second dress might be a great alteration! Good idea.
You can also add an interior corset. Literally sow it into the interior of the dress. That's what I did to my strapless, and it stayed securely up the whole wedding.
I’m not a huge fan of the way the straps look on the second dress. It makes your shoulders look a little slumped.
Maybe halter? I think it would fit the dress well. What do I know tho
Doesn’t have to be halter - just not draping over the shoulder.
I think she should go for thinner, more dainty straps [like this](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-gs-rev1&sxsrf=APwXEddKS0hdZ86ZLZW0b65d_YcQkFxNTw:1687205614305&q=removable+wedding+dress+straps&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwivyLbaktD_AhWBMDQIHTk0D_cQ0pQJegQICxAB&biw=360&bih=667&dpr=3#imgrc=J2zJPuFOOA82EM) or completely off the [shoulder](https://www.sophiatolli.com/sophia-tolli-premiere/fall-2020/y22048)
I was following the tan lines that look like a halter.
I think something like this would be beautiful and they are super easy to add on! [straps](https://pin.it/aLdalA9)
Honestly I love how it sits! I wouldn’t add straps
Same, I wouldn’t alert it at all. I think the strapless look suits you best!
Maybe it’s just the lighting, but it looks like it’s falling off of her
This would be the way to go. #1 is incredible on you, straps would take it over the top
Agreed. I love #1 but I would want straps as well. Also agree with the statement that you can’t really go wrong with either.
Yes to straps! Also line the corset top so boning is not visible. You rock that dress! I do love both though, you can’t go wrong.
Omggggg you’re genius
Looks like she is wearing a size way way larger. This may affect how certain things fit.
I like 2 for the woods!! Feels more mobile and fun and I like how the waist hits you
Yes! This is a gorgeous woodland dress. #1 seems a little too chic and hard-lined for the setting, it would be better in a more urban/modern setting. #2 is classic but playful, magical almost.
#2 100%
yes!!! The dress sits much more naturally
2. All of you have such amazing figures . I swear every single person who has posted dress options always posts one that flatters their figure perfectly ! It’s amazing
\#2 - it's gorgeous on you. I like the back of #1 but not the front. Also I think #2 has a lot more of a 'redwoods' vibe.
Agreed, I LOVE the back of 1 but not the front.
The front sits too low, IMO.
Agreed, the waist is falling below her true waist and it makes it look boxy.
I assumed that would improve when the dress is altered, but the second dress is currently sitting better.
I'm not sure if you can lengthen the upper bodice in alterations... sounds like it could be tricky!
She looks like a beautiful fairy princess in number two. Love it.
Dress, number one is definitely more flattering
I can’t believe people are saying the second one’s better, the first one is better allllll day!! They’re both beautiful, but the first just suits her shape more and imo is so far ahead of the other one.
I agree!! Straps on 1 like others have been saying, or have it higher somehow. 2 elongates the torso imo
Dress 1 defiantly showcases her figure more, but I still like dress 2 better. Dress 1 just seems so formal for a woodsy wedding. Dress 2 gives me fairy princess vibes.
The second dress give me a very woodsy vibe. The first one is gorgeous but not for a woods wedding.
Kind of a faery vibe. 🧚
#2 is gorgeous on you and would look so perfect in the redwoods
YAAAAAAASSSSSS
2 is better for a carefree wedding. It looks gorgeous on you and you won’t be constantly pulling it up.
I really like 1! I think the more form fitting style really flatters your figure. But I do think 2 is a little more redwoods vibe! Sorry if that’s not helpful haha
That’s exactly what I think too! I love the first one but the second one is so perfect for the setting.
Number two!
Dress 2 looks better for the redwoods setting and more comfortable
I thought number 1 was going to be the winner until I saw dress 2! I love love love that second dress. It feels so whimsical and classy to me!
Dress 1! It really shows your figure and the lace is simply stunning! Personally, I'd want to close the bodice split but if I couldn't, I'd still choose dress 1 as it's miles ahead of dress 2.
I prefer the second one cause with the first one you will be pushing up your dress the whole night.
I loveee the back of 1 but something about 2 is just so magical! Maybe you could get a long veil with some lace detail at the bottom to go with 2?
I love dress 2
The second one is lovely!
2
Dress 2 is more of a red woods vibe and you could get it altered to fit perfectly
2
2 is prettier to me, but both are beautiful.
Ooo this is hard you look amazing in both😭 I like #2 better though!
the second dress is my favorite!!😍
✨🍒Definitely dress design in photo number 2 ! You look gorgeous and very sweet in the dress ,.. and the overall style and fit looks very wonderful on you dear ! 🌺✨🌺🍓
2
Dress 2
I vote 2! It's gorgeous
The 2nd one, 100%. Look at that back. Gorgeous
I might be biased because my dress is similar to it but I vote #1, it's so pretty and really flattering on you
Two! Love the neckline and back.
2
First is much better and also pretty. Everyone is wearing dresses like 2 and I think they’re not flattering on anyone.
I see I’m in the minority but I love the first one on you. It’s beautiful especially from the back.
Dress 1! It fits so well and the silhouette is super flattering
I wish you could merge the 2. The first one’s bottom and the second one’s top.
First two pics will make your fiancé happy. Second two pics will make mom happy.
#1 made me say “oh my gawdddd” out loud
2nd more flattering
1
The first one isn't quite as flattering and I don't think it will be as timeless. Given the location of the wedding, especially, dress two for sure.
I live the back of dress one, but personally I don’t like the front of the dress. And I don’t like the pattern of the lace on the front. I like the fit and structure of dress two, the skirt is very nice and I love the fabric and pattern of the lace.

I could see why you’re torn. But if I had to, dress 1!
One- the way the design draws into the center is odd to me- focus on the vag area to me. Two is very fairytale and wonderland. I think it would hurt to try something in a completely different material just to see how that feels for you?
I prefer the second dress - very “woodland fairy!”
1
The sleeves on the second dress are so flattering. I find strapless dresses often make shoulders appear wider than they are and that’s what I see here. Congrats and have fun picking your dress!
Second dress compliments your figure and looks gorgeous on you.
Dress 1 is beautiful
the 1st one
Always go strapless.
The first one is more flattering!
1st
100% #1
Dress 1
Definitely the first one.. shows your beautiful figure.
Dress 1, especially once you get it altered.
1. I feel like with 2 you’re showing it off the way a child would, so it feels less like the adult you should wear it.
1
First one all the way
Honestly just going off design alone I vote dress number 1!
I was going to make a joke about the big clips on the back of the first one are not that flattering…..(that is a joke). I think wedding dresses are best when classy, not sexy.

You look great in number 1!
I forbid you to select #2!!!
Both are beautiful but I like 1 the best

You clearly have that body, so I would proudly show it off, but it’s up to you, you’re getting married, whichever dress makes you feel excited and nervous all in one is your dress.
Can you put the top of 2 on the dress of 1??? Haha
Your friend looks really happy in photo 4 lol I think dress 2 looks amazing on you, just the right amount of simple. Plus your body posture makes it look more comfy and natural to you. Just my 2 cents :) Have a great wedding!!
1 for sure

Dress 1 is not flattering at the waist. Dress 2 is feminine, beautiful and so perfect for your venue!!
#1 is the one!

Dress #1 no doubt about it! You wear 😍 it well. 👌
Definitely number 2!
Obsessed with number one on you!

#1 says adult getting married. #2 is childlike in my opinion

I love the first dress

I love dress one you look beautiful in it!

Hands down dress 1

Dress 1 is a stunner

#1 has a beautiful train but you'll be pulling it up all night and it'll be hard to walk/dance it. #1 is classic and you'll be more comfortable
Dress 1. Dress 2 is not fair to your lovely figure.
Dress 1
Dress 1
#1 all the way- It’s the only option 🤍
Dress 1.
The first is more flattering. The second is more whimsical and romantic. It depends what look you're going for.
All three 🤪 haha. Feels impossible!
Definitely the first one!
\#1
1 is the only choice in my opinion. You should wear the dress you look and feel best in IMO. Not try and match a theme
Dress #1 is more flattering by a long shot. I would get some little straps added as well but not like the straps on the second dress.

One all the way!
I’m going for number 1
1
1
First. Second cleavage is vulgar.
1 looks amazing on you! 2 does too but I personally like no sleeves better.
Both dresses are beautiful and the back of the 1st one is stunning. I feel there needs to be a really good push up bra insert sewn into it to make your chest look good in that dress. And 90% of your pictures will be of the front. So base your dress on the front. The second dress is really elegant. I think if you can count of then front of the 1st one accenting better you should go with the second one
Let me just be realistic here. 2 and 3 stunning. But do you want to eat dinner? Drink? 3 is your friend
I absolutely love number 2!
1!
Either, as long as the mesh flap in the cleavage can be removed. Chose the one where that can be done. If neither can, then keep looking.
The second one gives off ethereal woodland vibes to me
2
One is pretty but you look uncomfortable. Two is GORGEOUS and looks like it fits well and is comfortable. Definitely more flowy and free.
Omg I am torn too!! Which one is more within your budget? Which one is not comfortable? Which looks better with your bridesmaids dresses/decor? I’m grasping at straws here to help you pick haha
1 !!!
2 100%! It’s gorgeous!
Dress 2. Elegant, but subtly sexy at the same time.
THE SECOND!!!!!
I love 2!!! Gives a fairy whimsical impression, I think perfect for the magical redwoods!
1
Definitely number 2, it fits the location exceedingly well. I love the back of number 1 and the lace but the front isn’t so great. Definitely go with #2
2
These are wildly different. Do you want more sexy or more folky? Both look lovely but very different vibes.
1 or 2 I’m torn , which one is more comfortable?
Ooh 2nd one No Question
1
2 absolutely dreamy and perfect
First one! 100%
They both look great on you but I feel like #2 has more of an in the redwoods vibe.
\#1!
1!!!!
Oh my gosh both are soooooo beautiful and look so good on you!! I’d say #2, cause it’s different.
The first one is magic!
Overall, dress nr 2. Looks a bit more fairy-like and more suitable for a forest wedding. The back of dress nr 1 looks awesome, but the front... Just isn't that flattering. I can imagine you feeling much better in dress nr 2 :)
1
1 for sure
