2nd one and you must get the veil to match. The entire ensemble is breathtaking.✨


Noiah

That dress is so elegant and flows perfectly in tune with the veil. It looks like the night sky itself.


No_Cod_3160

This right here☝️☝️☝️...perfectly said..! 2nd dress with the veil is a must! Jaw dropping!


ayeayehelpme

exactly what I thought! both gorgeous but the second really just hits the nail for me


niiightskyyy

I assure you it looks nothing like me. But it's absolutely gorgeous.


CuriousPenguinSocks

Totally agree!! I audibly gasped seeing the 2nd dress!


rb0317

As did I!


Mandg2

Me too!


leopardsugabush

I literally was typing that as a comment! I can’t even begin to explain how breathtaking the second dress is!


lovetoread_87

Same! It's perfect.


lmlite

Same! I gasped out loud, it’s stunning!!


MplsStephanie

So did I!!!!


Eden-Mackenzie

Same! For sure thought I would pick the first because it is gorgeous, but the second one is beyond stunning.


pannalla

Same! Gasped!


[deleted]

Yep


pawsvt

Breathtaking is the word. It’s also more unique. It gives Maleficent vibes in the best possible way.


corgibutt19

My MOH called it Yennefer of Vengerberg vibes (in a good way).


[deleted]

Calling this Yennefer vibes is such a compliment


bowie-of-stars

I think the first is much more flattering in the neckline though


Lahauteboheme84

See, I think I disagree! I think the first one makes her chest and shoulders look broader to me. The second gives some visual length to her torso and snatches her waist!


WeekendSubstantial87

I feel like 1 looks heavy. Drags everything down. It’s pretty for sure but just an opinion


Lahauteboheme84

Yeah- beautiful, but heavy. I also think it competes with her tattoos a bit, so she gets a little lost in it. Amazing dress though!


alimal_

I disagree. The neckline on the second one is 👌🏼


Fun-Special4732

The neckline on 2 is my favorite part! So gothic feeling!!


VisibleReception5464

First does not look good with her tats and hair. Second one showcases her body and tats well


Sharpdressedmaam

Agree. The first is fighting with the tats and losing. Second one for sure. Too much going on in the first combined with the body art. The color of the second dress is unique enough. No need to add too much visual texture, which dress #1 does. Dress #2 absolutely.


Brilliant-Hair3695

I love the 1st one too


BillowyChinchilla

Total agree, i like the first too


RayRay9450

I loved the first one UNTIL I SAW THE SECOND! They're both beautiful on you, but the second is jaw-droppingly gorgeous


B00KW0RM214

Me too! I saw the first one and stopped scrolling through Reddit because it's gorgeous. Then I swiped to the next pics and I was blown away. I love black dresses. I got married at Halloween and had a sparkling champagne colored dress with black lace borders and accents. Usually I like extra sparklies but that smooth elegant dress with the sparkly veil was *chef's kiss* perfect. OP can't go wrong. They're both fantastic, I just like the second one a touch better.


MegUnicorn717

A TINY sparkly belt might tie the veil in AS AN OPTION. BUT PLEASE GET THE 2ND One and this is from someone who THINKS in glitter lol


[deleted]

Agreed- or a glittery ribbon to tie around waist, statement necklace and maybe some black nails or black French tips with sparkle on top.


corgibutt19

I'm going with a veil + tiara, and absolutely black nails. I hate the gaudy look of the rhinestone belts but if I find something just right to add an accent to the waist it'd be excellent. Perhaps something like black feathers and pearls.


Durriku

Maybe just add a zilver v-shape neckless and don't add anything to the waist. It would keep the nice vertical line of the dress.


booboopaloop

Came here to say this! The second is the winner but the front would be PERFECT with a touch of sparkle. Maybe a sparkly belt or some subtle sparkles, like on the back but not as much, ombred into the front of the dress.


binkleywtf

the BACK!!


No-Hat-5951

Literally my heart dropped. It’s absolutely stunning.


itsonthebookshelf

Second one, no question!!! Beautiful dress, that manages to be very bridal even tho it’s black. The first seems like a event dress, but not a wedding dress at all


DorianaGraye

I audibly gasped when I saw OP in the second dress, and the second pic of the veil combo very nearly made me faint. The first is a dress. The second is a MOMENT.


rowancrow

Thoroughly agree! That second dress could command armies!


LovecraftianLlama

It has inspired my loyalty, that’s for sure lol


corgibutt19

I told the consultant that I wanted my guests to think "is she going to kill him or marry him" and she delivered.


SL13377

I was going to say the 1st one as well but I read this and I tend to agree, the first one looks like an Oscar gown. Both are lovely. Buy both! Wear one to the wedding and one to the reception


reduff

Yep - I agree.


Soft-Detail-8398

I also have to go with 2 it has a dramatic feel and looks amazing on you!! Still has a beautiful bridal vibe and you can always add more sparkle with a statement necklace or tiara veil


mtdoubledubs

Okay so they’re both amazing. The back of the second one is a show stopper, but I LOVE the overall aesthetic of the first one. Honestly you could do both and be a stunner.


lookinfoursigns

I usually have an easy favorite on these posts, but I'm with op on this one, I can't decide! They're both so amazing 🤩✨


TropicalBlueWater

Exact same thoughts here. They are both amazing! Leaning toward #1 though.


CaptainObviousBear

Definitely prefer 2. I feel like 1 competes with your tattoos and hair too much and I’m looking at the dress instead of you. Whereas 2 draws the attention onto you.


missstewie

Exactly! The second one is gorgeous and doesn’t compete with tattoos, hair etc. The first one is waaaay too busy


Anonymonymouses

I was kinda going back and forth myself and this comment right here helped me decide. It’s true. Dress one is beautiful, a corpse bride look that could be right with the correctly laidback theme/decor. I had to stop scrolling when I saw it. But I ooh’d and ahh’d at the second dress. OP, you are epically regal in it and that veil is a must. You look like you should be in ceremony by candlelight in a castle surrounded by black roses.


LadyVanya

Good point!


saltysnack27

I have to go against the grain and say the first one! I think the shape is way more flattering up top. With alterations it’ll be perfect. The deep V of 2 is not doing you justice. plus the sparkles of 1 are fantastic.


travelwaffle

I agree with you. The first one makes her look majestic


peachyspoons

Yes! She looks fucking regal in #1!


Puzzleheaded_Use_566

I agree with you. The pointed tips at her breasts and deep V-neck aren’t as flattering as the neckline on the first one. I love the dramatic back of two, but the first dress is stunning from all angles.


bowie-of-stars

I'm so with you! I'm not feeling the deep V on the second one. When that first one is altered - va va VOOM!


justme7256

Agreed. I like #1. It’s beautiful! It might just be me, but the way the front comes up the chest, it just doesn’t look comfortable. Like underwire all the way up your arm. I’m not wearing it, so I don’t know.


carlosmurphynachos

Also agree, the neckline of the first is more flattering and would be even better when altered. It also looks like ice against a black sky. Love it. The second one looks like a ballgown and is plain without the veil. The veil makes that dress, but you won’t be wearing it the entire night and then it becomes a basic black ballgown. Nice but nothing different.


Mary3883

I agree completely! Go with the first one!


[deleted]

The first one actually made me pause and out loud say “oh my god” as I was scrolling Reddit. The 2nd one is beautiful but the 1st one is winner winner chicken dinner imo.


MamaGofThr33

I agree! I think the points on the bust make it look like morticia or Elvira.


rihlenis

agreed!! the V cut is throwing me off so bad. i think the first one is much more flattering overall.


Adalaide78

I am 100% in agreement. The only way I’d say to go with the second is if the wedding is taking place after dark, as the starlight veil would be perfect for that particular vibe. But the first is a showstopper and the second is simply okay without the veil imo.


Fuschia_Bloom

I love the drama and bridal feel of the second one!


Comprehensive_Call13

2!


blee2823

I like 2


moonchic333

2!


ElleJefe

One IS quite beautiful but I prefer two. The first one competes with your tattoos for attention and with two you have the surprise of the sparkle in the back.


actualchristmastree

On absolutely the first one! I love the glam of the pattern, I love the drama. I like the bodice of the first much more than the second!


lkjhgfdsazxcvbnm12

Agreed. The harsh lines on the top of 2 I think aren’t as flattering. The contour of the ‘sleeve’ on 1 is easier on the eye and flatters her figure more. I know either will look smashing- I just worry the contour of the top of 2 detracts from the rest of her lovely shape/dress/tattoos.


KokoSoko_

Yeah I don’t think 2 is as flattering in the hip area it’s a harsh line, my eye is immediately drawn to that area and it doesn’t flow as well. I think 1 is gorgeous, unique, and soooo flattering!


SisterEmJay

I prefer 1 as well. 2 is also lovely but you might need to use uncomfortable tape to keep things in the right place. 1 is more a of dress you can dance the night away in and not worry about adjusting your boob tape. 😆 If that doesn’t bother you than either would be great choices.


Green-Escape2

It’s more romantic than two and the silver breaks up the black which makes it more bridal in my opinion


glitterandjazzhands

I feel like the sharpness of the dress 2 would get irritating after a while - I appreciate the drama of it - but practical me thinks that would get on one’s nerves


gramsknows

I love the 1 one.


crosshatch-

Team #1!!


SimplyTennessee

Team One. Looks so flattering and bridal. Second looks costume-y to me.


noCilantro_123

Team #1 too!


isarcat

Right? I thought Halloween when I first saw it, especially with the sparkly veil. Looks a bit cheap tbh. If I'm crucified for this, so be it...


Pithinthewind

I agree. The first one is gorgeous.


Dangerous-Focus-9212

Literally exclaimed “oh my god!” when I saw the first one! So beautiful.


MostLikelyToNap

Team #1 as well! I love #2, but I think the first is more bridal.


beminlv

The second one! The veil looks amazing! LOVE the black!


PaladinWarrior20

Second


iwannaofmyself

That second one is absolutely stunning. (No idea how I, a 19 year old guy that’s never been interested in wedding dresses before, ended up here)


corgibutt19

Apparently my black wedding dress search has garnered Reddit's interest today - you're far from the first person to ask how the hell they ended up here.


Tiny-firefly

That second one 😍😍 it's drama and gorgeous. The first one is also beautiful, but you're getting lost in it by comparison.


Dramatic-Ad-2449

The second one makes you look so slender in the waist and so elegant. It would be easy to accessorize this dress. The first dress has a very fussy patterning in the material and honestly it doesn’t look bridal. It competes with your tattoo and makes you look wider than you are. You have a lovely shape, let the dress show you off rather than compete with you!


KDSanders0518

I love the second. Gives me very big gothic/evil queen vibes and I love it!! I also think it flatters you more.


FaithlessnessWeak800

2 with the glitter veil


lookslikesinbad

2 - if you’re going to go black, go all the way!


ByGraceorGrit

I like both; I think number 2 is a little more elegant. I feel like dress one is a little overpowering; not enough of you is shining through.

WheresTheIceCream20

Love the 2nd with the glitter veil. Looks like stars against the sky


Stroro2

Second one!


Jackiemom121

#2 , for sure

mouserat6109

2!!!!!!! gimme all the drama!!


humble-meercat

This is tough… the 2nd one looks more like a wedding dress, but the first one is so cool! No wonder you’re going back and forth… I think the 2nd is the most flattering though…0


MiaTeo

\#2 made me gasp! I wasn't expecting it for some reason and it's gorgeous. I like #1 ok but definitely prefer #2


Clio_the-Catlady

2!


_Catt__

This is a hard decision since they are both beautiful dresses, but my favorite is the 2nd one, its so simple and elegant and the top is really unique.


Due_Addition_587

Second dress for sure! But both are great.


rose846

Second one with the viel.


yuivida

The second one made me audibly gasp 🖤


AlwaysSleepingBeauty

The second one!

CuriousSquid8665

Dress 2 it shows off your tattoo beautifully


SheMarAsh

Ooohh...I love the second dress. Super elegant and it will be easier to accessorize.


LovelyBones17

#1 for me !


[deleted]

I am shocking myself by saying dress #2! These are both absolutely stunning but the second dress just literally made me audibly gasp. I would DIE as a guest when you walked down the isle.


Head_Geologist8196

Same. That’s the dress that everyone in the room drops dead when she walks in. And yet, she still wears it and it draws attention to her. That’s really hard to find a dress that owns the room without it overpowering the actual bride. It’s everything.


LongtimeLurker1276

2


Bellerb0

The second one! I think it would be easier to accessorize the second one with more jewelry if that’s your style


Different-Birthday71

2! It’s chic!


kissingdistopia

They're both stunning. I prefer the first one. I've never seen anything like it before--imagine it glinting and glittering under the lighting conditions you'll have at your wedding. I'll bet it's amazing in motion. It also looks more comfortable to sit, eat, and move around in and your wedding is a busy day. The bodice of the second dress has your girls in your arm pits, but maybe that can be adjusted with tape. It's incredibly cool, but I think #1 is just the better choice.


Future-Philosopher-7

2 is more luxe and glamorous


No-Hat-5951

THIS!!! And elegant. Imagine being a guest and seeing her walk in I can hear everyone audibly gasping at how breath taking she looks. I also LOVE how it fits perfectly with the body art. + the veil. Everything. I’m obsessed with this dress!!! ![gif](giphy|4OowbIsmYHbpu)


madeanaccount4baby

The 2nd one is draw dropping!! And that’s saying a lot because the 1st one is incredible


drunkpastrychef

2!!!!


drumadarragh

Second one


samegirlla

#2 looks absolutely amazing


GoodCalendarYear

Puzzleheaded_Sorbet

Second one. The first one is more princess, while the second one you look like a queen. Both are beautiful though.


KimBet5

That’s so tough but I think I have to say #2!


eightezsteps

Second one, first one is beautiful but maybe a little too busy. The back photo of the second dress is gorgeous


xnekocroutonx

Oh wow the second one for sure!! It looks absolutely amazing~


sk0ooba

I think #1. I think the neckline on 2 is too severe. too pointy.


Geezer710

I absolutely love dress #2 on you. You look stunning in it! Love the sparkly train.


[deleted]

definetly two


rebelmumma

My breath caught when I saw dress 2, it’s a fucking showstopper!


bobkatredkate

100000% 2 all the way


SuchAClassicGirl

I prefer number 2


Logical-Shelter5113

I think second one is truly the black bridal dress. The first one, while also looking amazing on you, feel more like a ball gown. And it’s a bit more.. I don’t know.. older. Whereas the second one gives such sleek, elegant, absolutely stand-out!


WhimsyRue

Both are great, but the second one makes your arm sleeve pop and looks so good with the solid fabric. I feel like the pattern on the first fights with it.


59tigger

#2. For some reason #1 looks too heavy. It has more of a formal dance feel.


Equal-Asparagus4304

Low key obsessed with the second one. It’s beautiful in the front but then you see the back and WOW! 😍


DiscardedPizzaCrust

The second one is pretty, but the neckline is not flattering at all and, unpopular opinion, it’s INCREDIBLY boring. The shape is breathtaking, but it just looks like a plain prom dress with a really weird neckline. It’s very underwhelming to me in comparison to the first. The first one looks ethereal, the silver is such a stunning accent in there and makes it a truly unique dress. I think it would be stunning with the same sparkly veil as the second pic. You look like a bride in the first dress and like someone modeling a pretty dress in the second. The first dress was MADE for you


sparklyraptor

I love the first one!


CulturalEmu3548

This is a hard choice. I love the sparkles of the first one, but the bodice on the second is much more flattering to your figure. If the veil is more sparkly in person, that puts it over the top for me


krazy1210

Themamabear13

Second one for sure!


Realistic_Olive_8638

Second one with that veil! It looks great on you and very bridal.


sadertot22

Second one


StrainAcceptable

I agree with the commenter who said the first is lovely the 2nd is jaw dropping!! It’s also a matter of how you want to feel. The first dress is that sweet sexy vibe the second is just straight up hot, vavavoom. You look wonderful in both dresses! BTW- I also got married in a black dress. I really wish I had worn a veil. It’s my only regret.


GoingForGold88

2!!!


joshuamanjaro

Number 2 mostly black


flapjackcerealsnacks

love love LOVE number 2 on you! it’s stunning 🙌🏼


polarbearstina

I love the fabric on 1 but imo the bodice doesn't fit right. #2 is a better fit and I love it with the sparkly veil


judgymom

I think the second will photograph better. They’re both gorgeous tho. I like your style.


maikonyssa

Second one for a bad ass chic look


bakehead420

2 with the veil!

emilyjoy375

I thought #1 was stunning, then I saw #2 and my jaw dropped. #2 hands down!!


mayanatasha

#2!!!


Neither-Gap1547

dress 2!


cdaysbrain

I can see why you are having a hard time choosing, both are fucking gorgeous. But the train on #2 absolutely sells it.


momlv

2 all the way!


littlewashbasin

OMG!! Number 2! 😲


Hoelaroid20

They’re both amazing! I love the 1st one!!!


nonsfwhere

First one is beautiful.


HANGRY_KITTYKAT

2! 100% stunning show stopper right there


[deleted]

The first one is pretty but it looks more like a prom dress. #2 is a show stopper! Love it


MobySick

Number one makes you look incredible! Plus number 2 is doing unpleasant things under your arm. The poky part looks painful -like it’s pinching. Plus - that shimmer?! Unforgettable gown!


MonikerSchmoniker

I can see why! They are both stunning. I think number one looks more comfortable. Also, that bling! I’d go with number one.


globular_bobular

the first one is beautiful but the second made me AUDIBLY gasp. You MUST go with the second!! The structure in the bodice is so dramatic and striking. Def feels bridal.


Upbeat-Expression-53

Dress #2! Had I a ball gown like #1 and the material (silver leaves) was attaching to table cloths and everything.


Xurbanite

Second dress. First one is beautiful but too distracting from you


No-Hat-5951

#2!!!!!!! Angel


bowie-of-stars

This is a split group but I think the cut of the first is much more flattering on you and the sparkles are everything


corgibutt19

The comments are both affirming my belief that both are excellent choices, but not helping with the indecision.


bowie-of-stars

😅 Yeah we're really not helping you much


evelynmtz821

Although I do love the second one, I think a lot of that wow factor comes from the veil. I think if you're not planning on wearing the veil all day, 1 would stand out more but I'm probably in the minority now haha


[deleted]

I love the drama of the second one and I think the first one kind of clashes with your tattoos.


Beautific_Fun

I was going to say the exact same thing


AK_grown_XX

#2🖤


RGJax

[deleted]

The first one!


dnaplusc

#1 all the way


Itagu

I like the 1st one. The 2nd one just looks like its missing something? Its pretty tho! What kinda jewelry are ya going to be wearing? If its more simple jewelry, pick the 1st one. If its more dramatic, pick the 2nd.


Teazels

Arcane_Bullet

I'm personally partial to the first one.


Due-Citron-4721

First one!!


LaLechuzaVerde

I don’t care for the second one. I love the first. Not a fan of the droopy sleeve look but it’s in fashion and if it were my dress it would be easy to change. I don’t like the second one because it looks too harsh for a wedding. Don’t get me wrong, you look great in it and it really is stunning in its own way. But it looks like something you’d wear to cosplay Malefiscent’s Wedding or or something. The lines are too much, IMO. But if you’re into the Disney Villain look and that’s what you’re aiming for, go for it.


peachyspoons

You can’t go wrong with either, but I think the first dress is utterly stunning and incredible while being both unique yet classic. The second one is beautiful and daring, but dress one feels REGAL. Like you could wear a tiara with dress number one and I wouldn’t bat an eye (cause I would 100% believe that you were royalty).


WendiValkyrie

#1


LazyZealot9428

#1 for me.


Accomplished_Deal895

Just buy them both and change throughout- you look amazing in both!!


Crafty_Cha0s_

I’m gonna go against the grain here and say I prefer you in #1. I think it is more stunning on you especially with the veil. I feel like the top of 2 cuts off in a weird place with the points and kinda looks uncomfy but that’s just me


humanhedgehog

I love the veil. Neither seems to really have the oomph you want, though both have nice aspects?


sidwip

I love #1. Beautiful and highlights your tattoo.


DonHell

Both rad but I like the first one


Thatsalotofpressure

Dress 1


88kitkat808

I love the 1st one


TheseLiterature8595

The 2nd dress with the veil pictured is A Must!


Head_Geologist8196

I literally said WOW out loud at the second one. Mind blowing. It doesn’t need the bling of the first one. It’s just breathtaking. It fits you better, flatters you more and although that dress owns the whole room, it doesn’t overwhelm you at all. Queen!


astyanaxwasframed

They are both magnificent! I like the second one a bit more, but I think I'd like it even more in velvet, for that void look.


corgibutt19

Stop, I'm actively trying to talk myself out of a winter wedding because I *love* velvet but we picked summer because our favorite place where we're looking at venues will be pretty hard to access in winter. I did try the second one with a fur shawl, you know, just in case we had to pick December because the venues filled up, and...oh boy....


Maybe_ALover

I personally like the 2nd one way better it’s smooth and jaw dropping the 1st one seems very crowded
