LOVE the second one!!

I don't wear dresses much but when I had to get one last year for a wedding and some fancy tea party thing in DC I went to dress barn and I LOVED their dresses...the ones I tried on were really flattering.

Good luck and you will have to let us know which one and show us pics since we helped you and all.

the second one is a cute style but I do like the more sophisticated look of the first. A really nice cut to the top of the dress.

I totally agree- the 2nd one. A little more dressy w/o being tooooo dressy. Perfect for the wedding.

I love the first one because it is so classic. If you are heavier at the hips, the second one will probably not flatter you. I know it's away from the body, but sometimes that can make the hip area look even bigger. I am not an expert by any means so my advice is not worth too much. Good luck with finding a dress.

I agree - I'm bigger in the hips/thighs and the dresses like the 2nd that I've tried on have not won me over. So nice on the hanger, not so nice on me. But I do know they've all been the same type of material, like a cotton that needs to be ironed, nothing soft and flowing, that could make a big difference.
