So, I need a dress for my brother's wedding on June 2. Here are the details:
Will be held at noon, outdoors, in their backyard, wooded area. Just the immediate family. He will wear a suit and she has a dress. I will not wear anything strapless and prefer to have at least a small cap sleeve, as I don't think my shoulders/upper arms look good (too flabby) . Also, I am a bit heavier on the bottom, so don't want anything stretch or fitted. Here are two possibilities. What do you think? Do you know any other dress sites that I can order from? Do you have any dress suggestions?



Thanks in advance!

Laura I really like the second one. I think a more flowing skirt area will take away from your lower half. Plus the top part is sooo cute.

I like the second one.. but i love green so i may be a little biased. I am not abig fan of ( i think i have broad shoulders so i always want to minimize them). However i tried on a dress like this and really liked it

I actually found a dress barn dress at a gabriel brothers..and it was only 15 bucks for the dress and the cover up (and i found another cover up for 13 bucks...i took the dress back after the event i was going to use it for was canceled..kind of sad but i had no where else to wear it.

good luck dress hunting!

I like the second one best also. Penny's has a personal shopper is you call inadvance. They can pick out a bunch of stuff for you if you tell them the requirements you have.

The 2nd one is also my choice! Love the look of it!

I like the second one too. And I have to second the dressbarn rec. I love their dresses. Check their website, they have a lot of cute things.

I really like the second one, very pretty.

im going against the majority. i really like the first one, love the color and style of it

the second one is AWESOME! Great style especially the flare away from the body part. Great choice!

the second one is very very pretty!

I love the style of the second one

I am in the minority with lesmitch. I much prefer the first dress. The second one just looks like it's been done over and over already while the neckline of the first one looks modern and fresh.

I love the second (bottom) dress's style. Not crazy about that color - it looks like peasoup green.

I love the 2nd dress, but the color is a little drab. Does it come in other colors? Does that color look wonderful on you?

Actually I look good in green. It's a bit brighter than the photo, based on the photos that other reviewers posted, too. I'm not completely sold. I wish I could try them on. I have been to stores in my area and not found a thing I like. So much is made with that d@*! cheap, stretch jersey fabric that looks horrible if you are not a stick!

I like the first one better, too. It's classic looking and will never go out of style. I'm not a fan of the mesh, criss cross part of the neckline on the second dress.

I know exactly what you mean. I HATE that material. I look awful in it regardless of what it is -- t-shirt, tank, dress. Blah!

I absolutely adore the second dress.

Then I would totally grab the 2nd one - it's gorgeous!

They are both adorable! I vote the second. I know it will be comfortable for sitting, standing, dancing...

I LOVE the second one!
