In today’s ballot box, Kimberly’s wedding is coming up fast, and she needs help deciding between a Claire Pettibone dress and a Cymbeline dress. She’s getting married in an old private house in the mountains, is 5′ 7″ and slim with a few curves. Please help her make a decision between these two dresses!

Go with the Claire Pettibone!! I tried on the dress and it is just so awesome! I went with another dress (party because of price) but I loved the uniqueness of the Clare Pettibone. I think you will feel absolutely gorgeous in that dress!
I second Trish Browning. The Claire Pettibone dress is so pretty, romantic and unique
the claire pettibone will go well with her height an being slim! and i agree very romantic
I think the Clare Pettibone gown is gorgeous and would go very well with the location. But, as someone with a few curves as well, I L-O-V-E the way drop waist gowns look 
The Claire Pettibone is gorgeous and on her figure it will be dynamite!
Claire! Perfect for someone with a small frame, and by the description of your venue, it will be much more appropriate. Also, I think her dresses are much more interesting and timeless- you won’t look back and think “That looks SO 2008.”
I LOVE both, but I think the Pettibone will be more appropriate for the venue.
pettibone is better for the venu and it’s a style that not everyone can wear (short or heavy set would probably look prety bad in it), but since you are tall with the right amount of curves you should take advantage of it and wear the dress!
Ballgown just doesn’t say “mountains” or “old home”
You have to do the Pettibone dress, it is gorgeous! And it does seem like it would better fit the venue.
The Claire- it looks amazing!
I actually like the bottom one - in red, too. I’m the odd girl out here, I guess.
Claire is so romantic and seems like it will fit your body and your venue better than the Cymbeline (which is lovely as well).
claire claire claire. love that dress. plus you won’t look naked in neck-up pictures.
I actually like the red one… but in white of course… but it really depends on your figure…

I think if you have the figure for it, then wear the Claire dress . I am wearing the Cymbeline dress because I have big hips and big tummy 
and that dress sure covers everything nicely
Hi there!
I am going to say the Claire Pettibone!!!! because……it’s my Dress too…..I love it, its so pretty, flattering,unique, beautiful, vintage, class……I bought mine at Keinfeld’s and I am from Scotland! Getting married in August in a Country Hotel like you. Have seen NOTHING like it and it looks even more amazing one. Good Luck Sarah xx

I say the Cymbeline. That is my dream dress and if you decide to buy it and ever want to sell it (or if anyone out there has one to sell to me), I’m your gal! jlynnholland@yahoo.com
