I'm going to a wedding on Sunday and bought two dresses to choose from. I need help deciding on one. It's not a super fancy wedding, but I don't want to look like a schlub either. I like them both, they're both the same price, and both are easy to clean. I need opinions. After seeing the pics, I'm really leaning towards the all black one. I'd be wearing the same shoes with either dress. I can breathe wearing both, and both should be comfortable even after dinner. Granted, I do have on Spanx in the all black dress, but it was surprisingly comfortable.

Edited to add: the plain black one has a design on the front that you can't really see in this pic...it's got like a side to side overlapping ruffle kind of thing, almost like this:

Okay so the choices are:

100_4233.jpg

or...

100_4229.jpg

I like that you can see my tattoos, especially my rarely seen glow worm on my foot. :heart:

So be honest...which is better?

    I like 'em both... the print on the bottom pic is nice, but it hides your form. I say for vanity, the top one. Lol.

    I love them both, but I agree that you should go with the all black one! It definitely shows more of your awesome figure! You look FABULOUS!

    I really like the black and white one! I think its a prettier dress (less dated), more stylish than just plain black. Also maybe hair up? You'll look great in either dress, so wear what your most comfortable in.

    they both look nice but the black one shows your shape much better..the white on the other one makes your waist disappear....

    i think you need a splash of color with the black one though...i bright scarf around your neck??? or a chunky metal belt or scarf around your waist....just a bit too plain for a wedding

    have a great time - you look fabulous....

    The black one. The other one is too baggy and doesn't show off your cute figure!!

    The all black one! It looks great now and I think you'll shrink in to that one very nicely. I don't think the print one will look as nice in your smaller future.

    The first one fits nicer but it really looks like you could have gone down a size!

    I love the basic black, but for a wedding I'd choose the other one. I'm just not a fan of plain black at a wedding...

    Either way, you'll look gorgeous!

    The black one. The black and white is too big for you.

    Thanks. :smile: I didn't bother to accesorize for the pics. I'm thinking jut some basic silver jewelry.

    honestly i like the second one

    but that could be because plain black and weddings never seemed to mix to me

    Hmmm...maybe I can keep looking...Didn't think black was such a faux pas. :embarassed: :laugh:

    The black and white one is cute, but the black one definately shows off that fabulous figure that you have worked so hard for. I say go with the black one. And don't worry about black and weddings, I wore black to my wedding reception and I was the bride. As long as you look that good in it, I don't think anyone will care about the color.
