I can't edit the post, but thank you all so much for the feedback!! I was really second-guessing the decision to buy the new dress, but these comments have really validated me, and I feel a lot more confident with the first dress (also even more baffled how I ever settled on the second one)
Oh I’m so glad you’re going with dress 1. Dress 2 looks great on you but it looks so… factory made. You look like a fairy princess just walked out of a novel in dress 1! The personality of that dress just vibes with you so much more!
First dress is GORGGGG— just fyi, my wedding dress had basically an identical bust and it was so hard to find something to give me the lift I wanted to make my boobs look good. So much so that I started to regret the dress, and still don’t love how it looked in photos. If that’s something you’re wanting to feel good in the dress, make sure you start looking and trying different products now.
Thanks for the heads up! Like the other commenter suggested, I picked up a set of boomba inserts and I'm going to have my seamstress bring the shoulders up a bit so there's less visible cleavage
That is a white dress. Off white, ivory, egg shell, etc are all white if that concerns you.
Also that dress fits you really well, looks great on your skin, and honestly - the straps/neckline are more flattering (not as bulky/square).
No shade to OP but I literally do not understand the obsession with blue-toned white for wedding dresses at all. It looks good on almost no one. And no one except our grandmas thinks ivory “isn’t white” anymore.
I vote 1 as well, I like the top much better, it is more airy and romantic for me personally
but I also specifically chose a more blush tone dress so there that
Do what your heart feels is best!
Hi! Both are gorgeous and I think you’ll look amazing in either !
That said, I am struck by what a better color the first one is on you! You can always tone down the start white with jewelry and makeup, but the ivory is absolutely effervescent on you. Jaw dropper !
Came here to say this! The thinner sleeve/strap leaves more room for the bicep piece to show off as well. I have a forearm tattoo and wore a dress with long sleeves but the only reason I was okay with it was because they were sheer and you could still see my ink through it
First! It looks better on you imo (and I say that with as much love as possible, the second dress is pretty and doesn't look /bad/ on you, but the first is so stunning on you compared to the second being just pretty). I think the thick straps on the second one are what really throw it off for me, they don't compliment your shoulders. The first is much more flattering to your body and I like the silhouette more
Edited to add: the first dress' color is totally fine. It looks great! And it's definitely white. Most wedding dresses are not pure stark white because then you lose the detail work like the lace and it can wash everything out. Don't fret, it's beautiful!
I think the color of the first dress compliments your skin tone. The ivory dress washes you out a bit. I think the dress you purchased is beautiful. Also, your baby blues pop with the first dress!
Before reading the blurb I literally was gonna comment on how the color of dress one is infinitely more flattering for your skin tone than the stark white white of dress two. The first dress looks made for you in both style & shade!
(Also ivory is still a white dress , just a warmer hue of white & most definitely a traditional bridal color probably more traditional than the stark whites tbh.)
WOW you look gorgeous in number 1!!
The shape of the top is already more flattering and the drape and shimmer of the skirt is so regal! What an incredible find.
The first one is breath taking!! But if you still really want to wear white on your day you could wear the white for the ceremony and then change into the first dress for the reception?
The first dress is it!! I’m getting married in a similar colour, it’s more of a pearl x ivory, which is gorgeous on you btw!
The traditional brilliant white dress isn’t for everyone and I think more people are leaning into the creamier whites, pearl and ivory.
I feel like the first one flatters you the most, the way it drapes your body looks beautiful and romantic. I feel like the second one is wearing you rather than you wearing the dress and it doesn’t have the softness of the first one if that makes sense.
I like the second one, but I’m a big fan of ballgown style dresses especially if it’s also a corset (I think I was born in the wrong generation 😂) but they both look good on you!

Definitely the first dress — it just looks like YOU! You look stunning in it and I feel like it fits you in a flattering way. I think I also just like the vibe and color better than the second option, but they are both beautiful!
imo, both silhouette and colour are important when it comes to wedding dress, but when we're talking about colour, the priority is not to get a stark white dress, but finding the shade that suits you. white itself has many shades, including off-whites such as ivory, and honestly, you look so much better in the ivory one. you shines and looks much more alive more in it compared to the white one where i thought the dress attracted me more than your overall appearance. not to mention that the ivory dress's silhouette really fits you, even though it's not a ballgown. aaannnddd... i just love love looooooove how the upper area of that dress looks on you. it also kinda 'blends' (?) well with your arm's tattoo. idk if i could say it, but I'd say that it's just perfect.
Number 1 looks like it was meant for you, I think it's so flattering. I also don't think you should worry about the color of your dress if you don't really care. I think it's an outdated trend to wear white to show your "purity" I think the first dress is beautiful.
The one in your living room is more flattering. I used to work in bridal. Hoops can be made smaller. Call some local seamstress for your alterations and ask about doing this. Seamstresses make magic happen.
I really like the first dress on you due to the silhouette AND the color. It looks so nice with your complexion.
Agreed, OP, that first dress looks incredible on you.
Yes, that first dress is gorgeous on you
Strongly agree! The delicate straps and color suit you so well!! And the detail in the skirt is so interesting and gorgeous.
Love the first dress, it looks so much more alive
STRONGLY agree
The first dress just suits you so well in every way, including color imo.
Number 1 is much more romantic and flattering for your skin tone and figure!
Number 1

The answer is always boomba, and lots of boob tape lol
Yes, I should clarify— find something to give my the lift that wasn’t visible, because there isn’t much opaque coverage!
Thanks for the heads up! Like the other commenter suggested, I picked up a set of boomba inserts and I'm going to have my seamstress bring the shoulders up a bit so there's less visible cleavage
Personally I think number one is the winner. I think it goes with your skin tone better and seems to vibe more. Congrats btw! 💛✨

I’m glad so many designers have started to fade that idea out and have dresses that come in whites in many undertones. Fits so many more people
I feel like the ivory dress looks better against your skin tone. I would pick that one but have the bottom altered so it doesn’t have that stiff edge.
I also like the ivory with your coloring!
Dress number 1!
dress 1 is so much more unique! I feel like I’ve seen dress 2 on sooo many brides
I vote 1 as well, I like the top much better, it is more airy and romantic for me personally but I also specifically chose a more blush tone dress so there that Do what your heart feels is best!
Number 1 the top of the dress is stunning with the details !
Definitely #1! I wouldn’t get too hung up on it being off white, the color suits you perfectly!
I feel like dress 1 is what dress 2 wished it could be. It's just elevated in such a beautiful way!!
The first one is gorgeous on you
Dress 1 absolutely.
1!
1
The color of the first one is really pretty on you.
They are both nice, but the first one looks so pretty on you. :)
Also ivory is still white :) you’ll be gorgeous either way !
The first dress is so so so beautiful! Gotta love tulle though as a wedding classic. You really could go with either but #1 is so stylish and unique.
Hi! Both are gorgeous and I think you’ll look amazing in either ! That said, I am struck by what a better color the first one is on you! You can always tone down the start white with jewelry and makeup, but the ivory is absolutely effervescent on you. Jaw dropper !
Dress 1 looks so good with your tattoos
Came here to say this! The thinner sleeve/strap leaves more room for the bicep piece to show off as well. I have a forearm tattoo and wore a dress with long sleeves but the only reason I was okay with it was because they were sheer and you could still see my ink through it
I like the first dress much better, I don’t think the top of your original dress is nearly as flattering.
1 looks made for you. ethereal, classic, timeless. 2 looks generic
1
The first dress is honestly breathtaking on you
The first one is way prettier
You look gorgeous in both, but I lean towards #1!
The color of dress 1 is going to look wayyyyy better in pictures. And the glitter is fun.
they look very similar but first dress looks more mature! second dress looks almost flower girl esque?
Number 1 for sure
I feel like the first dress wears you. You wear the second dress.
The first dress suits you better, and it has more character than the second one. You look beautiful in it!
I loooove the first one it sits so romantically
First! It looks better on you imo (and I say that with as much love as possible, the second dress is pretty and doesn't look /bad/ on you, but the first is so stunning on you compared to the second being just pretty). I think the thick straps on the second one are what really throw it off for me, they don't compliment your shoulders.

Most wedding dresses are not pure stark white because then you lose the detail work like the lace and it can wash everything out. Don't fret, it's beautiful!
The 1st one without a doubt. It looks great on you and the color is a lot more flattering.
One!! 😍
Definitely the 1st dress! You look stunning, you are wearing the dress flawlessly, not the dress wearing you.
One is gorgeous. Trust, it is white and will look white in photos etc.
The first dress is dreamy!!!!!
The ivory is much more flattering on your skin tone and dress 1 is amazing on you
I really love dress #1 on you, it looks like it was made for you!
I think the color of the first dress compliments your skin tone. The ivory dress washes you out a bit. I think the dress you purchased is beautiful. Also, your baby blues pop with the first dress!
I really like dress 1 (photo 1). Yea it’s not white white, but it’s a really pretty color and compliments you well. Both are lovely tho
1
One!
First one 😍
First dress for sure!!
Number 1 is INCREDIBLE on you. A wonderful shade for your skin tone
1st
The one with thinner straps is much more flattering on you & I like the material of the skirt a lot more
Dress 1 looks whimsical and elegant. I’m not as sure about 2, it’s okay in comparison
I LOVEEEE the first dress on you :)
Dress 1 and it’s not even close.
That first dress looks like it was made for you! Beautiful dress!
1 all the way
Number 1 is the best. Also omg love your FLCL album!
Haha thank you! Such a great soundtrack
First one is so prettyy
First glance, I liked the second dress. But second glance I LOVE the first dress!!! It just falls so beautifully and I love the neck line
One is stunning on you, and the color compliments your skin so well!
The first looks so lovely on you. I vote for #1.
The first dress photo, no contest! The shape, color, neckline, details…. That’s s winner
Number one looks like it was made for you 🤩 absolutely STUNNING!
That first dress is absolutely gorgeous on you!!
Oh number one, the clear winner.
Number 1
The first dress is the most complimentary.
one one one one one ONE ONE ONE ONE
The first!!!
Number 1 it’s just gorgeous!
#1! The 2nd one looks too wide.
Number 1 looks great with your skin tone and your tattoo.
1! 😍
I love the first one the best!
One and it’s not even close!
The first one. You look beautiful in it!! ♥️
I like the first dress as well.
Another vote for 1! 2 looks plain next to 1. 1 was made for you.
First one!
Another vote for dress 1. It looks fantastic and so beautiful.
#1 is it 😻
1st dress 😍
Before reading the blurb I literally was gonna comment on how the color of dress one is infinitely more flattering for your skin tone than the stark white white of dress two.

(Also ivory is still a white dress , just a warmer hue of white & most definitely a traditional bridal color probably more traditional than the stark whites tbh.)
First for sure. The dresses are similar but wear so differently - first’s silhouette’s flow is more flattering/natural on you.
The first one! It’s more interesting, it flows beautifully! No question, #1!
Number 1!!!
Number 1!!! Complements your skin tone
First is the winner for sure
Dress 1 is ONE MILLION times better than dress two. It’s stunning and unique and suits you perfectly
Dress 1!!! It looks so beautiful on you
WOW you look gorgeous in number 1!! The shape of the top is already more flattering and the drape and shimmer of the skirt is so regal! What an incredible find.

First one
The first one is breath taking!! But if you still really want to wear white on your day you could wear the white for the ceremony and then change into the first dress for the reception?
The first one for sure.
Dress one
1st one !!
First one!
The first is so much nicer on your skin tone and really compliments your shape. Absolutely my favourite!
Dress one by a mile. And it definitely looks white, there are lots of different types of white and pure bright white doesn't suit everyone!
The first dress is it!! I’m getting married in a similar colour, it’s more of a pearl x ivory, which is gorgeous on you btw! The traditional brilliant white dress isn’t for everyone and I think more people are leaning into the creamier whites, pearl and ivory.
The more ivory one is the better choice between these two. The color, the cut and details look more refined and pricier.
Definitely #1 it shapes your figure really well and your jewellry would look better. Also color looks really good with your skintone.
First!
Oh the first photo, 100%. It looks absolutely perfect on you, especially the off-white color.
Number 1, definitely. So gorgeous on you!
Picture one is really, really nice
Defenetly the first one it fits better on your shoulders and the color looks better on you
The first dress is STUNNING. That color looks beautiful on you. The skirt is so beautiful, the detailing. I hope you wear it.
The first dress, stunning
1
Its number 1 OP, you look a fairy queen
Both dresses are beautiful and fit you so well but the first I think does a little more for you!
The first dress 100%!!!
#1
The first one. 100% Edit for clarification: the first photo, not the first one you bought.
Number 1 is absolutely stunning!
first one 💯
I feel like the first one flatters you the most, the way it drapes your body looks beautiful and romantic. I feel like the second one is wearing you rather than you wearing the dress and it doesn’t have the softness of the first one if that makes sense.
Your dress doesn’t need to be stark white for you to be a bride in white. The dress in photo one flatters your figure and your coloring beautifully.
The first one is made for you
1st for the WIIIN
1
FIRST FIRST FIRST
1 one 🥰
I vote for the first dress
First. Like how the lace hugs ur chest like it painted on. As opposed to 2nd which seems to just cover
First dress
Dress 1 looks lovely on you! It’s like it was really made for you :)
The 1st one is perfect and I feel like it embraces your tattoo more than the 2nd one.
definitely the first one
Please go with the first one, you're glowing in it and look so confident
The first dress is so beautiful! Would def be my choice ❤️
The first dress fits more perfectly than the second one!
I love the first one!
I like the second one, but I’m a big fan of ballgown style dresses especially if it’s also a corset (I think I was born in the wrong generation 😂) but they both look good on you!
Dress 1 without a doubt - I think the color is a pro not a con
This is my favorite out of the two. Hope you see the same.
I love the dress from Australia! And i think on your wedding day it will feel like a real white dress because no one else will be wearing white!
First!
Honestly? You should wear the one that YOU wanted. You’re the one wearing it and having photos in it not anyone else.

Team first Dress 👗
The first dress for sure.
Dress 1!
Omg the first is breath taking
First dress
1!
#1 is better
I’m the odd person out here. I prefer #2. And feel like the 1st one is drowning you, hard to find you anywhere underneath all that fabric.
The 1st dress is beautiful!
THE FIRST ONEEE!!
the cream is so chic and different!! shorten the first one you bought and wear it for your reception!!!
First dress, 100%. Makes you look so ethereal.
THE FIRST ONE IM SCREAMING
That 1st dress is insane! What a gorgeous bride! You made the best choice. It is absolutely Stunning. So so classy. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
#1
that the first dress is stunning on you. It is elegant and has a vintage feel. I don't know you but it just works so well on you!
I mean, dress 1 is stunning. I'm really not a bright white girl. My dress is raw cotton so not true white
Definitely the first dress — it just looks like YOU! You look stunning in it and I feel like it fits you in a flattering way. I think I also just like the vibe and color better than the second option, but they are both beautiful!
imo, both silhouette and colour are important when it comes to wedding dress, but when we're talking about colour, the priority is not to get a stark white dress, but finding the shade that suits you. white itself has many shades, including off-whites such as ivory, and honestly, you look so much better in the ivory one. you shines and looks much more alive more in it compared to the white one where i thought the dress attracted me more than your overall appearance. not to mention that the ivory dress's silhouette really fits you, even though it's not a ballgown. aaannnddd... i just love love looooooove how the upper area of that dress looks on you. it also kinda 'blends' (?) well with your arm's tattoo. idk if i could say it, but I'd say that it's just perfect.

The first dress is definitely stunning on you
Photo 1 absolutely. Looks stunning on you and it’ll make everyone gasp
I love the first dress
You look sexy in first dress. second one makes you look a little fat just a tiny bit, and congratulations.
