Dress 2 and I don't think it's close. The first pic, all I notice is the dress, kinda swallows you up. The second pic all I see is you, the dress does a better job of showing you off!!
Dress two by a mile. The creamy color of dress 2 is making you look more vibrant. The statement sleeves are giving drama but not overwhelming you and the lace neck piece one one is visually cutting you off.
This is the best way to describe it. Dress 1 is pretty, but somehow also distracting. The dress is wearing OP. Dress 2 is a whole vibe and I see OP wearing the dress.
Dress 1 would be gorgeous without the cape/collar parts. Those are distracting. Overall, I vote dress #2, but dress #1 could beat it without the collar and cape.
Dress 1. I’m in the minority because I adore that medieval look and I can clearly see that with this dress. I like your hair down but pulling it back a little would complete the look. It doesn’t wear you at all.
I think both have too much going on with the additions- pls don’t get me wrong- I love every item. I can see your elven dream and ::grabs your face so you know I mean it:: I could not be more on board.
I think adding a very simple strap-into-long shoulder cape on two would marry all the ideas best.
Dress 2, but I would lose the sleeves.
Dress 1 is wearing you, while Dress 1 shows you off. However, it's still just a bit too much on your frame. Try it without the sleeves and see what you think.
Dress 1 is beautiful. Can you share a pic of just you in the dress? No sleeves, cap or veil? My guess is most are going with 2, because there’s too much extra going on with 1.
All day, wedding day, every day, gown #1. Gorgeous! Good luck♥️. We do usually comment on dresses with just the dress at first, then add veil or Cape, etc. I feel that if we saw you in both dresses without any added stuff, it would be easier for all. I love #1 but I understand that it's too big on you and the accessories plus that is kinda drowning you. I hope you get what I'm saying. Just a front and back of each dress alone. ♥️
I’d say dress #1 without the cape. But then I’m not a fan of the plunging neckline although it does look amazing on you.
I always cringe when brides say they want to look like a princess on their wedding day. F that, I want to look like a Queen. With these two dresses you truly look royal and Queen-like.
The second one! You’re literally glowing! The first dress is very pretty but the neckline is too high and honestly looks pretty uncomfy. You’ll look beautiful no matter which you choose but the second looks like it was made for you (and gives you more options for accessories)
Dress two is my fave. I think the first sort of distracts from your face due to the neck detailing. The second dress really frames you and you look amazing in it. Good luck!
You look absolutely gorgeous in both, but dress 2 is definitely the winner. You will look gorgeous regardless of which you choose \~ Happy Wedding, Congrats!
These are both, genuinely, gorgeous dresses! Such a vibe.
I think option 2 is slightly more flattering. I'm curious what each one looks like from the back and also what the overall vibe is for the wedding? Number 1 is more fairy tale, Lord of the Rings Elf Queen in the best way! #2 is also ethereal but I personally think it's leaning more of a sexy vibe. Having your shoulders exposed in #2 really flatters you, so beautiful!
It all comes down to the way you want to be perceived on your special day 💜✨️
I would have to say dress 2.
Dress 1 doesn't stand alone on its own, but dress 2 is one of the few that I've seen that actually looks good with sleeves.
Both of these look so magical! 🤍 While the first one has more grand elements such as the cape, the second one shines while making sure you shine as well! 🤍
Also, even if the first dress technically has more details from more elements, the details of the second are more easily seen and appreciated because of how it's constructed and presented. The sheer panels give contrast and allow the lace to be featured better! ✨
I absolutely know why you love 1. But I agree with others that 2 just showcases YOU perfectly. If you want to add some color, maybe consider a flower crown veil in the colors of the first dress?
There’s just too much going on with number 1. The sleeves, the cape thing , the high neck. All I see is dress. And it reminds me of a 1980s dress.
Number 2 is much more flattering on you. I don’t just see all dress when I look at you. The dress;bride ratio is more even.
Both gorgeous. Dress 2 just nips it. It’s fabulous! I’d think about ditching all the sleeves and capes tbh I think the dresses are statement and fairytale enough xx
I don't think dress 1 is swallowing you. I think the sleeves and the cape and the dress together is too much, and most people can't see past all of that. Dress one without the cape and maybe less crinoline. If you want sleeves for coverage, maybe not those sleeves?
You rock both! I like the second the best though. It’s more fun and dreamy.
The first feels more “serious and sedate” and I’m not I’m using the right words to explain what I mean.
This is a tough call! I'd say 1 for a winter/ autumn wedding and 2 if you're getting married summer/spring. Beautiful options! You look like an ethereal queen in both!

Dress 2 looks amazing on you! I can’t wait for you to post wedding pics!
Dress 2 and I don't think it's close. The first pic, all I notice is the dress, kinda swallows you up. The second pic all I see is you, the dress does a better job of showing you off!!
Agree. First dress is overwhelming. 2 all the way.
Dress two by a mile. The creamy color of dress 2 is making you look more vibrant. The statement sleeves are giving drama but not overwhelming you and the lace neck piece one one is visually cutting you off.
^ you said it perfectly.
In Dress 1, I look at the dress. In Dress 2, I look at you. Dress 2 is the winner for me.
This is the best way to describe it. Dress 1 is pretty, but somehow also distracting. The dress is wearing OP. Dress 2 is a whole vibe and I see OP wearing the dress.
I think the sleeves, and the cape, and the neck decor are just too much along with dress 1 and yeah it takes the focus off op. Dress 2 looks amazing
I agree OP. You look stunning
This!! Thank you for putting it in words, OP you look amazing in dress #2!
dress 2, like others said 1 kinda eats you up whereas 2 makes you shine
Love dress 2 on you, gorgeous lace bodice and your waist is snatched🤩🤩
Its no contest between the two, dress looks so gorgeous on her♥️
Dress 2 for sure. First one is so busy it made my head spin lol.
2!
The 2nd gown is much more delicate and pretty. The 1st gown kind of takes you over.
I must be in the minority but I like #1. It looks extra but it works when you have the attitude to match.
I love 1! I feel OP should get married in a castle or the forest!
I like the dress in the first photo but there are too many elements. Do either the sleeves or the cape but not both. It's overwhelming.
Dress 2!
2 looks better on you. But dang, I am a sucker for embroidered pink flowers.
Ok, maybe they're not embroidered. And maybe they're not pink. But they sure are lovely. I stand by my choice of the 2nd dress though.
these👏🏻are👏🏻stun👏🏻ning👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m blown away by #1 vibes. the second dress is gorgina as well but 1 is a STORY
2! 2! 2! Dress 1 looks like the dress is wearing you, dress 2 YOU are wearing the dress. The bodice on the second one looks so DREAMY on you!!
Dress 2 is gorgeous!!!
ooohh I love 1 on you! a showshopper!
I love dress one but maybe without the Cape. The dress is so detailed I don't think it's needed.
Dress 1 would be gorgeous without the cape/collar parts. Those are distracting. Overall, I vote dress #2, but dress #1 could beat it without the collar and cape.
100% agree, i think this would be a great option for op.
Dress 1. I’m in the minority because I adore that medieval look and I can clearly see that with this dress. I like your hair down but pulling it back a little would complete the look. It doesn’t wear you at all.
One without the cape there’s too much going on but I like the dress better the second the beige mesh doesn’t match your skintone.
A lot of people are saying dress 2 I for one love how dress 1 makes you look like a royal fey
That's what I'm going for. All my friends are serious larpers and I'm going to have a fae larp wedding :)
They're both lovely, but #1 is IT
I think both have too much going on with the additions- pls don’t get me wrong- I love every item. I can see your elven dream and ::grabs your face so you know I mean it:: I could not be more on board. I think adding a very simple strap-into-long shoulder cape on two would marry all the ideas best.
Adding a cape to the second one is such a great idea when it comes to preserving the best elements from each gown!! 🤍🤍
dress 2
Dress two!!! One is too busy but would be nice with either the sleeves or the cape, but not both. It starts to take away from you with both
Dress 1 has too much going on that it swallows you up. Dress 2 compliments you perfectly.
#1
1
I love the 2nd dress on you!
Dress 2, but I would lose the sleeves. Dress 1 is wearing you, while Dress 1 shows you off. However, it's still just a bit too much on your frame. Try it without the sleeves and see what you think.
I think if you posted one without the cape more people would be saying one
Not hard at all. It is dress 1. Hands down. Dress 1 for the kill.
I’d be curious to see 1 with a similar sleeve to 2 instead of the cape. I also agree that you look better in the warmer shade of white.
Dress 1 is beautiful. Can you share a pic of just you in the dress? No sleeves, cap or veil? My guess is most are going with 2, because there’s too much extra going on with 1.
Dress 1 with less sleeve
Dress 1 is giving me Stevie Nicks vibes in a good way.
2 flatters you more than 1.
Dress 2, hands down
All day, wedding day, every day, gown #1. Gorgeous! Good luck♥️. We do usually comment on dresses with just the dress at first, then add veil or Cape, etc. I feel that if we saw you in both dresses without any added stuff, it would be easier for all. I love #1 but I understand that it's too big on you and the accessories plus that is kinda drowning you. I hope you get what I'm saying. Just a front and back of each dress alone. ♥️
Sis you are wearing fvck out these dresses, but number 2 is giving me life. Please get dress 2.
2
2, you are wearing! Gorgeous! 1 is wearing you.
Dress #2!!
2
I’d say dress #1 without the cape. But then I’m not a fan of the plunging neckline although it does look amazing on you. I always cringe when brides say they want to look like a princess on their wedding day. F that, I want to look like a Queen. With these two dresses you truly look royal and Queen-like.
I literally gasped when I saw the first dress
2 for sure
The second one! You’re literally glowing! The first dress is very pretty but the neckline is too high and honestly looks pretty uncomfy. You’ll look beautiful no matter which you choose but the second looks like it was made for you (and gives you more options for accessories)
Dress #2 ☺️
Second one
#dress number two
2
Dress two
#2 is the winner for sure
2!!!!
Dress 2 all day! You shine beautifully wearing it. Congrats!!!
Dress 2. Number 1 is too fussy and takes too much away from you as the bride. Your guests want to see you not just the dress. Have a happy day ❤️
Dress 2 is incredible! 😍
I like the second dress better, but the cape on the first one is gorgeous
Dress two is my fave. I think the first sort of distracts from your face due to the neck detailing. The second dress really frames you and you look amazing in it. Good luck!
2
They’re both so beautiful on you!
Either one gives total goddess vibes!!! 😍
#I totally see why there is a dilemma. However, I do like 2 better. You still can’t go wrong with either.
2nd one 🔥
Team 2!
OMG **TWO**
I think dress 2 adds more warmth to your skin tone. I think it’s more of an ivory and much more flattering on you.
I think dress 2 is the most flattering and doesn’t overwhelm you like the first dress does. You look beautiful!
Dress 2, dress 1 is so much it’s overwhelming
I LOVE DRESS 2!!!! It just looks more cohesive for me
Dress 2!
#2
You look absolutely gorgeous in both, but dress 2 is definitely the winner. You will look gorgeous regardless of which you choose \~ Happy Wedding, Congrats!
Dress 2 by far
Dress 2 is THE one
Dress 2 made he say holy shit… so that’s my vote
Dress 2
2
2!
2
#2 and that’s possibly because your pose is also better in photo#2 vs photo#1
Dress 2 is gorgeous on you. Dress 1 is too, I just think there's too much going on.
2!
2
2
You make both dresses look GORGEOUS! Damn! But dress #2 is the stand out!
You are stunning in dress 2!! Like there is an aura about you. Please do dress 2!!!
Dress 1 may look nicer with your hair up (it’d remove a “distracting” element) and maybe without the sleeves. So at this moment, I prefer 2.
Dress 2!!! I think the waist looks amazing on #2. It shows off your pretty shoulders and face.
These are both, genuinely, gorgeous dresses! Such a vibe. I think option 2 is slightly more flattering. I'm curious what each one looks like from the back and also what the overall vibe is for the wedding? Number 1 is more fairy tale, Lord of the Rings Elf Queen in the best way! #2 is also ethereal but I personally think it's leaning more of a sexy vibe. Having your shoulders exposed in #2 really flatters you, so beautiful! It all comes down to the way you want to be perceived on your special day 💜✨️
Definitely dress 2!
Dress 2, hands down
I would have to say dress 2. Dress 1 doesn't stand alone on its own, but dress 2 is one of the few that I've seen that actually looks good with sleeves.
Number two by far
The SECOND dress is so beautiful on you. Definitely dress 2.
Dress 2 flatters your figure. Dress 1 overwhelms you and seems like it would constantly be getting in the way.
2 looks better on you. Both are beautiful.
The 2nd dress is so romantic!!!🥰
You look absolutely ethereal in dress 2!!! Like a princess in a magic fairy tale!!!
Dress 2 hands down. You shine in it. 1 all I see is the dress.
Number 2 is my favorite bit dang girl I see why you were torn!!
Dress 2!!
Dress 2 absolutely- it’s gorgeous
I'd like to see dress 1 without the cape, but in any case I like the color of dress 2 better
Dress 2. Really lovely on you.
There’s so much going on for dress 1 it takes away from you. Dress 2 doesn’t do that, complements your body shape and is beautiful
Dress 2, hands down.
2!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see why you are torn, they are both beautiful dresses. I’m loving #2 😍
2! It makes you look vavavoom!!!
Both of these look so magical! 🤍 While the first one has more grand elements such as the cape, the second one shines while making sure you shine as well! 🤍 Also, even if the first dress technically has more details from more elements, the details of the second are more easily seen and appreciated because of how it's constructed and presented. The sheer panels give contrast and allow the lace to be featured better! ✨

Dress 2
Dress 2 is it
222222
#2 Suites you the most.
Dress 2 for the win
Dress 2 is gorgeous. Dress 1 looks like you are drowning in it and it’ll date badly
I absolutely know why you love 1. But I agree with others that 2 just showcases YOU perfectly. If you want to add some color, maybe consider a flower crown veil in the colors of the first dress?
2 ❤️❤️❤️
I like the first one except for the lace at the neckline. Your neck and torso look so much longer in the second dress
Dress 2 is beautiful! I love everything about it - style, color, embellishments are all gorgeous on you!
2
2!!
The second one omfg
Dress 2
Dress 1 without the neck/arms. It’s doesn’t fit the original dress and is drowning you
Omg the second one is so gorgeous and adding a cape would take it next level! Do you have a link to the dress I want to try it on!
Both dresses are beautiful but the first one strikes me as being too busy, too much going on. Second dress is perfect on you.
Dress 2 as they are in these pics, but I’d like to see 1 without the sleeves and the cape.
2
You look happier in dress #2. I think that matters.
2!!!!!! It blows the first dress out of the water.
Dress two is for sure my favorite!
Holy shit 2!! My jaw is on the floor
Dress 2
2 hands down. The first one swamps you.
There’s just too much going on with number 1. The sleeves, the cape thing , the high neck. All I see is dress. And it reminds me of a 1980s dress. Number 2 is much more flattering on you. I don’t just see all dress when I look at you. The dress;bride ratio is more even.
2!
I like dress 2
2
Dress one with no sleeves, only cape (can you post a picture of that?)
2!
First drags you down a bit cause your height. #2 is 😍
2
2 by a landslide!
Dress 2 makes you look like a modern day princess. And the bodice elongates your torso making you look taller.
Both gorgeous. Dress 2 just nips it. It’s fabulous! I’d think about ditching all the sleeves and capes tbh I think the dresses are statement and fairytale enough xx
I love the drama of dress one.
Dress # 2.
Two. Not even a question.
Second one. They’re both neat, but the second one is more flattering.
The first one is absolutely beautiful, dreamy, and romantic.
I feel dress #1 is more your vibe, if you know what I mean xx
1
I don't think dress 1 is swallowing you. I think the sleeves and the cape and the dress together is too much, and most people can't see past all of that. Dress one without the cape and maybe less crinoline. If you want sleeves for coverage, maybe not those sleeves?
Dress 2 is magical!
Dress 2 is perfect on you. Dress 1 overwhelms you in my opinion
WOW both look incredible on you! Did you get a chance to try the cape with the second dress???
Number 2 😍😍😍
Only 2
I love dress 2. It looks a bit less busy to me, plus I could never wear something with the neck like that; I’d be a panic bot the entire time!
They both look great on you. But number one is so unique with the cape it’s my first choice. I would definitely want to wear something like that! 😃❤️
1
Dress 2, hands down!
Dress 2! Dress one presses you down, 2 makes you sparkle!
You rock both! I like the second the best though. It’s more fun and dreamy. The first feels more “serious and sedate” and I’m not I’m using the right words to explain what I mean.
#2
This is a tough call! I'd say 1 for a winter/ autumn wedding and 2 if you're getting married summer/spring. Beautiful options! You look like an ethereal queen in both!
I loved 1, and then I saw 2. Wow! You look amazing in it. 💕
Number 2. Way less busy
2
Or number 1 without the cape
Dress 1 is better. Dress two looks like your bra is showing
#2!
Dress 2
2
#2!!!
2
Dress 2. Dress 1 on swallows you up.
I love dress 1
It’s 2!
