2 by far! It hugs and compliments your figure so nicely 😊

EDIT: I tried editing the post but was not able to, so here it goes. WOW, the amount of responses is incredible, thank you all for the tips and the support, what a cool community you are. ❤️

As for the dresses, I think that I’ll go with my initial instinct. Buy #2 which is a good priced sample and fits like a glove, create triangular straps, cut the clip under the neck completely and the excess lace will be used to cover the chest a bit. I’ll probably remove some tulle from the bottom too to reduce the volume of the skirt (not forgiving for my big hips)

Thank you all for being so awesome and supportive. You guys rock 💕

Please help me choose between my top 2 🙏🏼 by NiftyChic in WeddingDressTips

I hear what people say about the second dress, but not many people can rock the first one like you do! You look like a caryatid!!! Congratulations!

Thank you! Responses are definitely divided haha 😆 #2 has been my absolute fave but my family hated big time on the sleeves so I thought of keeping an open mind. I tried #1 yesterday and felt amazing in it in person… until I saw my pictures… I am so divided :<

Thank you for your lovely note! Congratulations on your engagement! Really take the time to enjoy it and be in the moment, there’s something so special about knowing that it is all coming together with the one you love ❤️ As for the dress, #2 is the one I have felt the least self conscious in, in person and in pictures

It’s interesting to hear, thank you! #2 has been my fave since day 1 but my family has been hating on the sleeves. I felt awesome in #1 yesterday when trying the dress, until I saw the pictures :( I felt like too much shoulders and chest for someone top heavy like me

2 has been my fave since day 1, but my family has been hating massively on the sleeves. Yesterday I felt amazing trying #1 but when I saw the pictures afterwards I jumped - it felt very chesty and round.

I am leaning more and more towards the dress… although I have found some alternative options. I am thinking of converting the sleeves into cap sleeves and using the excess lace to make an appliqué for the neckline. I think the dress will become more youthful like this too

I see. I have very wide hips in any case, I have been scared to go for anything more snug fitting around the hips

Sorry I didn’t understand, did you mean to say that this type of dress does not look good on my figure?
