Hi WeddingBee!
I love your blog and trust the good taste of your readers. So I would love to post a ballot box entry so that readers can help me decide between two wedding gowns! I like them both equally and want to base my final decision on which looks best on me. I purchased them at sample sales for $250 each, though the Michelle Roth gown retails for much more than the Alfred Angelo. My wedding is in a huge ornate cathedral in Chicago in September so I need something spectacular.
Gown #1: Alfred Angelo #1103.
Gown is 4 sizes too big, but my seamstress assures me she can make it fit properly. I bought this gown first so all my accessories match this one perfectly. My best friend likes this gown best. I love the long train, but am not crazy about the ruching at the waist. I was thinking of replacing the attached decoration with a crystal peacock brooch, since that is our theme.
Gown #2: Michelle Roth “Margot”.
Gown looks tight in the photos, but I have lost 25 pounds and plan to lose more so it will have to be taken in by the wedding. My mom and seamstress like this dress best. I am concerned that the bust line is unflattering, but I love that it is a designer gown and how it sparkles in the light. My accessories don’t match this gown quite right, but I really can’t afford to buy additional accessories. I also wish it had a longer train, though it does have a lovely chapel length train and I can do a wonderful French bustle to show off the poof of the skirt.


Which gown should I choose??? As you can see I’m completely torn, so I would be eternally grateful if you could put this to vote for your stylish readers.
Warm Regards,
Shannon
