Wedding Dress - HELP

Hey Girls,
So I have ordered my dress for like 2 months now - It's the Sophia Tolli Alexandria (1st Dress Below). I ordered it in Diamond White - but now I am having doubts.. Today I went to go try it out in Diamond White and I also went to try on Isabella (which is the 2nd dress) AND now I don't know which one I like better.

My main concern was that I didn't want to be hidden by a 'big big' dress, since i am 5 foot and about 120 pounds.

What do you girls think - which do you like better.

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

Hmmm, they are beautiful. Which one do you think is the most flattering?

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

I think both dresses are beautiful. I am the same size as you and had the same concerns about being swallowed up. Because the 2nd dress has a little more volume I'd say stick with #1

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

I think they are both pretty. I feel the same way, I didn't want to feel that way either in my dress. I'd say the first one, it doesn't look too big.

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

Yeah, the second one has more volume and since it was a size 12 it looked huge on me, but its definitely more volume. My other concern about the 1st one is that it doesn't look bridal enough - Am I crazy thinking that about it?????

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

I like the first one a lot better. I've tried on similar styles, and it's just really classy looking.

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

I personally love #2, but that is just my taste. You have to think about what YOU love and also what looks best on you. Either way, both dresses are beautiful and you will look great in either one.

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

How funny! I was very close to officially ordering the first dress and I started to look at the second! We have great taste!

BTW my total honest opinion...

I tried on the dress in the store and i am 5'7. Other girls that were shorter than me tried it on also and it just didnt seem to look right on the shorter girls. Then again these girls were on the heavier side, and you are not. Do you have any pics of you in the dress? I think you and I should go dress shopping together. lol

Re: Wedding Dress - HELP

Both dresses are beautiful... the second one is def. the bigger dress. I know exactly wat u mean by it not looking bridal enough...... let me just say this, i keep thinking the same exact thing with my dress...... but deep down inside i know the truth, that is that we are both crazy....your dress (the 1st one) and my dress are soooo bridal. Also, you have to remember, if your dress isnt enough for you they could always add a slip so you get the fullness you might decide you want.
