I think you look wonderful in that dress, it is perfect for you. The only thing I can see that may need tweaking, it could be the photo but it looks just a tad too long at the front, have the front hem adjusted by a seamstress maybe? I totally love the neckline, sleeves and split detail! :)
Just because you might be a "bigger lady" does not mean that you cannot be beautiful, have a bit more confidence in yourself <3 You look absolutely lovely and I am sure that you groom will be thrilled seeing you walking down the aisle in that dress. You most definitely DO NOT look like a marshmallow.
CommentAuthorMrsPrestleton2be
Thank you all. The dress was actually 3 sizes to big for me so will look a lot nicer once it's in my size. I actually took my fiancé to look with me but I've told him he's not going to know the dress I pick. He liked this one more

Oh wow, they are both so nice! I think the first one looks really princessy (which is awesome!) and the second one slims your figure and is also really lovely. Have you chosen which one? You have such a hard choice to make! I asked my Fiance for his opinon and he thinks your second dress is the one you should have, but you look lovely in the first one too.
Its awesome your fiance went with you! :)
CommentAuthorTheNewMrsBarrett
They're both lovely, but I prefer the first one. It's really pretty and I think the top is more flattering xx
CommentAuthorEmmilou82
Awwww, you look beautiful on both. I'll be honest, I too think the first one is more flattering but you look gorgeous in both xx

The 2nd dress is really beautiful too but I do still think the 1st suits you better - it also looks more traditionally bridal, the 2nd dress would be lovely for a beach or destination wedding xx

I think the first one too, but they're both lovely. It's the straps that won it over for me! I would love my oh to come with me but he doesn't want to! x

Thank you ladies I showed my sister today and she said she doesn't like the first one bad says it does nothing for me and hates the sleeves. I prefer the sleeves as I hate my shoulders!

CommentAuthorMaxineP89
Its not about what your sister does or doesn't like. Its about you and your dress and how you feel in it. I think the 1st dress looks beautiful on you. If you are conscious about your shoulders then this is the dress for you. You will look stunning once its fitted properly. Go with YOUR heart, not any one else's opinion.
Looking forward to becoming the 3rd and last Mrs McLauchlan
CommentAuthorMrsPrestleton2be
Thank you maxinep89. You are right. I'm going back to the dress shop Wednesday with my sister as I don't think the photo shows it in its full potential. X

CommentAuthorMagpieBride
They're both beautiful, and I agree with everyone else - the first one is just that bit nicer, and once you have it in your size you will look stunning! The cap sleeves are so cute, I love them!
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
They are both lovely, but the first pic is absolutely stunning and suits you so much. Very flattering,
Our wedding day - 6 October 2012
CommentAuthorjen1717
I am going to go against the grain and say I prefer the 2nd one. The material appears to hang much nicer in the pic, and it is so flattering on your figure! But then only you know how they look and feel in real life so go with your heart. Good luck with your decision - and good on you for being a bit different and taking your fiancé! ETA just showed my fiancé for a mans opinion and he also said the second one, looks better quality and flatters your figure.
CommentAuthorSusanM34
Looking at the photos, I think the first one

CommentAuthorKirstyR386
Just to throw another idea into the mix (sorry if this adds to the confusion) but as you really like the cap sleeve on the first dress you could always speak to the shop about alterations to sew a cap sleeve to the second dress if you decide you prefer that one in the end.
Either way you look beautiful in both and definitely not like a marshmallow! X
CommentAuthorInDreamland
They're both beautiful and flattering. Personally I prefer the first one.
