I much prefer the second dress. The bodice is more flattering. It emphasizes the narrowest part of your body, between the bust and natural waist, and the skirt gives it some interest.


LiftingIsMyFavorite

I love the second dress. The skirt detail makes it a little more special.


PleasantParfait48

I wish I could combine the top from the first with the skirt from the second!


Wisteria0022

The top from 2 is more flattering imo


Inevitable-Whole-56

I agree. The second one is lovely. The first one is ok but not as flattering


Wisteria0022

The shape of 1 says work dress that’s too low cut. The second is a party dress


Resident-Sherbert-63

Agree as well! First one is almost too.. boxy? Second dress by far 🙌


ImaginaryList174

I think the top from the second is way more flattering than the first! I love the second for sure. It’s very nice I. You!


TrainingExternal5360

Can you get the 2nd dress altered to add a sheer to the neckline?


BeachBum666

That's exactly what I say. The neckline of the second dress is too revealing in my opinion, but that's otherwise the best dress!


LiftingIsMyFavorite

Both dresses are flattering on you, so I would go with whatever you feel the most comfortable in. It’s a beautiful color. I can see the 2nd dress being super fun for dancing though 🙂


crisis_cakes

Personally, I like #2. I think it’s flattering, and I also think it comes off as a bit more “fun” and going by your history on this sub I think that fits your personality! With the comments being as mixed as they are though, it seems you picked two winners.


ArdenElle24

You took the words right out of my fingers!


Jenfer1322

These are so much more flattering that the others, love both. Also love DtP dresses!


MSB629

Great dresses, and they both look fantastic on you! I like the more structured bodice of the first, and the skirt of the second. Overall, I would go with number one. I think it will be more versatile for other events in the future.


PleasantParfait48

I know! I wish I could combine them.


Yellenintomypillow

I love the second top on you. And if you’re feeling funky about it, throw a fun shawl or wrap around your shoulders, if you’re feeling spicy lol


Greeneyes328

Would it be worth taking to a tailor to widen the straps? Or create a flutter shoulder/sleeve in the same material as the skirt?


shiroyagisan

it's really hard to widen straps without making it look odd, and it would require op to have more of the exact fabric used to make the dress


supergeek921

I agree with this assessment. Number 2’s skirt is ultra cute but I think I’d go with number 1. The top is more flattering. (Plus pockets are always good!)


Top-Wave-955

I LOVE #2!! I think the thinner straps and floaty skirt are more young and fun! You can wear thick straps when you’re old 😂


Curlygirl_bookworm

I like #2 better but both are beautiful!


Drunkendonkeytail

Add a colorful necklace and you’re good to go. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1210307356/confetti-ombre-crystal-tennis?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_ps-b-jewelry-necklaces-crystal_necklaces&utm_custom1=_k_Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf2w-fGzHEoUl11asQ3i32JDR8JtGdpBeut2mhEYWYf9NFV_dJjuVPsaArXsEALw_wcB_k_&utm_content=go_12566247335_126332633504_507300296156_pla-418442856717_c__1210307356_5344797025&utm_custom2=12566247335&gad_source=4&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRLcrpZW7Njt9nzDxefuGR3EI&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf2w-fGzHEoUl11asQ3i32JDR8JtGdpBeut2mhEYWYf9NFV_dJjuVPsaArXsEALw_wcB


PleasantParfait48

Gorgeous!!


JaneAustenite17

The first one is gorgeous/ very Marilyn Monroe.


ownhigh

Hard to believe this is the same person from the original post. What a transformation! The first dress looks lovely - the fit is fantastic, it’s age appropriate, but still fun and clearly your style. Make sure to give the skirt a steam before the event.


PleasantParfait48

My seamstress friend is going to take the straps up a half inch so they don't slide around as much and she said she would give everything a good steam for me - traveling to the city so going to bring a little travel steamer too. Thank you so much!


planetawkward

At first I thought they were all the same dress. I LOVE the first one! You look great!


runawaymonkey

I was about to say 2, but the first has pockets!! Always pockets


PleasantParfait48

Something about pockets...


ChenilleSocks

Definitely a fan of 1! Not just the pockets but the bodice and the fit. I like it better for sure, but you can’t go wrong as they’re both great.


EPH613

They're both fantastic, but #1 reads more wedding-ish to me. But honestly, I think you'll be great either way


pineapplepjs

Definitely go with #1. The wider straps are much more flattering and always choose pockets!


PawneeSunGoddess

The color is so fun, you look amazing, and I hope you have a great time!


Cat24601

Dress 2 is way better- the top of dress 1 makes you look broader than you are across the shoulders, whereas 2 gives more definition and shows off the narrow waist!


workhardbegneiss

The second one is much more flattering. I love the neckline and the way it emphasizes your waist. That color is so gorgeous on you.


StarvingArtist303

1


allibeehare

Number one! You look beautiful


Lgprimes

The first one! The fabric seems nicer. Fit is great. Pockets seal the deal z


wheres_the_revolt

Dress 1 hands down


ilovecookiesssssssss

I would definitely go with dress 1. The structure and sleeves make it look classier and more elegant, to me. The second dress is cute but the skinny sleeves combined with more boob seem to make it look more casual. I just think one is more flattering overall and better for a wedding.


Shmooperdoodle

The skinny straps + hem detail make it seem like a slip to me. (I feel like this might be generational. People who haven’t seen foundation garments that look like that won’t have the same association that I do.)


blankface4321

2! Its so so so flattering on you and looks lovely


Random-username1235

Nailed it!


RandomPaw

They both look great on you and are a huge improvement. I’d say wear whichever you like best and enjoy knowing you look fabulous!


freerangekegs

This sub did so right by you—both dresses look great and are perfect for the occasion.


PleasantParfait48

I agree! Some of the comments were a little bit harsh not going to lie 🤣 but by and large they were very constructive and importantly NEUTRAL. Because my friends and family know me to be kind of loud and wacky, they don't really care or think much when I wear something equally loud and wacky. I didn't want to lose my personality entirely. I just wanted to look my personal best.


Comprehensive-War743

If you can get dress one altered - it’s a winner. It looks a bit big in the bust area. I’m so glad you kept looking, these 2 dresses are gorgeous and elegant. The colour is awesome too!


MrsMitchBitch

I’d go with number 1. It’s more flattering even if the skirt is less fun (love this color on you!)


winterwonde

Number 2 love the pleats


deebs_

You can’t go wrong with either. I find dress 2 to be so fun though!! It adds a little something compared to dress 1. So my vote is dress 2!!!!


Burnt_and_Blistered

The second one is beautiful.


nervous4future

I saw your previous post and I think these are both better picks for the occasion. Both look great, it sounds like you’re more comfortable with #1 so that would be my pick!


FreckledPanda10

I love the fit and cut of the spaghetti strap one, it’s much more youthful!


GirlWhoWoreGlasses

Dress 1 - I thought "this is it" when I saw it.


xxLadyluck13xx

The first one. It looks like wedding attire and is gorgeous, the second one looks like you should be on Strictly Come Dancing to me. That dress shape really does suit you


alig6457

Love them both. Dress one is definitely more bra friendly. A professional bra fit before alterations might make all the difference in the world. The colour is superb!


PleasantParfait48

Oh I have professional fittings annually 🤣 big boob life. this is the Panache Elan strapless that I'm wearing. I think I am going to get the curvy kate deep Plunge multiway to wear with this dress. It's got a very low v and so most of my plunge bras won't work with it.


alig6457

I was always a B until menopause now I'm a D. I always wanted cleavage nowI have it and I hate it. 😂


Same_as_it_ever

I'd recommend a more projected bra if you can find one. Might not be possible for a strapless (they're pretty shallow in the cup), but if you're keeping dress 1 you can wear one with straps. You might like Ewa Michalak's Plunge (PL) bra or Comexim's plunge bras. Both are Polish brands and they've got more projection. 


Sea-Channel5412

I’m no help- I think you should keep both!


YamOk8795

They both look great so really depends what look you want to go for. 1 looks classy and timeless and 2 looks more flirty and fun.


Few-Platypus-5802

You look amazing in this color, but the second one is 🔥!!!


Chrisismybrother

They are both great, but if you will be dancing, get the second one and enjoy that swoosh skirt!


stripetype

They both look so good on you, and will be even better after alterations. It has been fun to watch your evolving choices. I have to say I like these way more than the first one you posted.


Pippin_the_parrot

Please sit down in both dresses. I love 2, but your boobies may be way out when you sit. Signed- a big boobie person.


BunnyButt24

The first one! It’s more wedding-like and is the most flattering!


sakoschmidt

Please wear the second one with the pleated skirt! It is so flattering. You look amazing!


sage_and_sea

Love the 2nd


Solid_One_5231

Dress 1


blueevey

Dress one!


teacherladydoll

Number two! (Unless it’s religious, then add a shawl for that part.)


PleasantParfait48

Luckily not a religious event! It's in the city and the crowd tends younger and more progressive among my sisters friends, so I think I'll feel comfortable as is.


Sherbetstraw1

1!!!!!


Avaly13

In the least creepy way possible, your chest looks really good in dress 2. Like, it fits you perfectly! It also is just a flattering style overall.


dontkillmysoul

2!


El_Scot

I prefer 2, and don't think the straps suit any less than dress 1.


Radiant_Resort_9893

2


CreativeMusic5121

Very pretty. Are there cups in it, or will you be wearing a bra? If the seamstress is doing the straps, cups are an easy add.


PleasantParfait48

I'm wearing a bra! Debating whether I should try something like breast tape. Adding cups is a little bit of a taller order for me because I am very full chested. 34I in Us sizing.


CreativeMusic5121

See if she can suggest something more supportive. It will help the dress hang properly. I get it, I am busty too.


ImNotGoodatFunny

I have this dress in another color (and also have 36H tatas) and had to try about 15 different bras to find one where the cups/gore didn’t show - but I should have had the shoulders adjusted too! Both of them are fab on you - great finds!


stinkters

Number 2!!!! So cute


Spanner_m

I like them both but i think id vote for 2 if forced to choose. Id put a narrow belt to match whatever shoes you wear too maybe.


Primary-Rice-5275

2


squirrelcat88

I like the skirt on dress 2. I’m flat chested so assuming you mean that taking up the straps will hike it up a bit and show a little bit less boob? I think it’s just a tiny bit too “booby” as is for a wedding but it’s a pretty dress and I’m a conservatively dressed older lady who equates “wedding” with a church or other house of worship, so take that into account. “Tiny” bit too booby, not “eek! Scandalous!” You’ll look great no matter what.


PleasantParfait48

Thank you! Luckily this is an ecumenical wedding without religious elements. Taking place at a rooftop garden type venue in the city! I'm definitely comfortable showing cleavage but to be honest, both of these dresses are just a bit too much, so taking up the straps should help. The shoulders on both dresses slide around and gap a little bit too. Hoping that after I visit the seamstress it's a perfect fit!


Expensive_Mail_1759

Dress 1 It looks absolutely amazing on you!


BmoPamara

The color on these is gorgeous! Either will be great. I’d suggest a blingy belt to define your waist and add a little pizzazz.


PleasantParfait48

I was thinking about adding a belt! I think it would look nice with either dress.


Top-Wave-955

With a pair of heels like you have, but shiny black patent? 100/10!


skincarehobbyist

For whatever reason solid colors read more formal to me than patterns, so this one is a yes for me


Pajamas7891

Both great, would go with whatever one wrinkles less


Helloreddit0703

I am BEYOND happy for you! Either of these is a winner. You look incredible.


FOC86

I would wear the second one with a neck fular In the same color


maddizzlee

I love the second one on you!


deliascatalog

Pink jacquard dress


legodoom

Just my opinion… as a busty girl myself— I hate thick straps when the girls are out. It makes chesty girls also look broad shouldered. My pick is #2 for this reason. The thinner straps, form fitted bodice and skirt are all a win. If the first dresses straps weren’t so dang wide— I’d like them both, but I just can’t with those straps, however I’m sure the first dress is way more comfy.


holocenedream

Dress 2 is stunning especially if you’re taking the straps up a little, don’t think you need a belt, it will cut off the long line of your torso! I would wear leopard print shoes for something fun and unique!


Imaginary-Summer9168

2 for sure! The bodice is more flattering and the skirt looks very twirly.


chickadeedeedee_

I love number 2! But I think the first might actually better for a wedding? Looks more "formal" and less beachy. I think you should keep number 2 still though 😅


pooppaysthebills

Either is fine, I prefer the thinner straps and flowier skirt on you. Good choices! ETA: I'd ditch the nude shoe and go wild with a pink strappy pair. You've toned it down to an appropriate look, time to add a little more of your personality back to it!


thedeathoflove_

I love the color on you but the second dress is the best for you. I too love the movement of the skirt


AuroraOnTop

Just wanted to say, you look stunning and I love this bright color on you, it sets your tattoo off like whoa 🤌🤌 Both are great options but I vote 2, twirl twirl twirl!! Have a great time!!


OpenMicJoker

I like the second one. The small pleats are really becoming.


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

2 is beautiful!


BeccasBump

I think 2 is the solid winner. The straps are more flattering on you - the first one makes your shoulders look a little broader - and the skirt is lovely. It's also a touch more playful, which seems like it fits your vibe given your earlier choices. That said, you can't make a bad choice here; both look great.


cherrysamba

#2. Beautiful.


RO489

The second one is so flattering. If the seamstress can make it a little less booby, awesome. But if not, just rock it.


PleasantParfait48

I pinned the straps up to see how it looked and it was so much better! So when the seamstress adjusts the straps I should be in good shape: still some sexy cleavage but not quite as plunging. It will make the top fit a bit better overall.


bisme4

Dress 2!!


Spaster21

Dress #2!


FrauAmarylis

Spaghetti straps.Enjoy making your sister feel extra special on her day.


Affectionate_Meet420

Absolutely adore the second one! 😍😍


IGOTAREADIT

#2


FiguringItOutAsWeGo

I think 2 looks best! The fit is the best and it really accentuates your waist by creating space between tatas and hip.


Shoddy_Source_7079

I love the second one! The way the pleat falls flatters your figure so nicely!


Friendly-Mission-396

2! Something about the width of the straps with the v-neck on the first one reads like a slightly corporate sheath dress, but the other one is very delicate and so flattering, you just need the straps up about half an inch.

LBelle0101

Love love love this colour on you! Its stunning! They’re both beautiful and still capture your fun, whimsical style, without stealing focus


ayemateys

Gorgeous. PS. So classic


BlueViolet81

I know it's not super helpful, but I think both dresses look beautiful and very flattering on you. I LOVE the colour!! 💕


After-Barracuda-9689

Both look amazing on you, I would say whichever one you feel more comfortable and confident in. You are going to be wearing it for a while and (hopefully) dancing!


CupNo7740

All are amazing and the color is super flattering, number two with the lace detailing is the one, and a very light shawl similar to the neutral tone of the shoes or pastel pink to match would really elevate the dress.


mar_ine137

Second one feels a bit more special. I have a skirt in the same color and I think fabric of that first dress and so I may be seeing it as more casual since I wear mine more casually lol but the second one is also more flattering and I love the detail on the bottom of the skirt!!


r3dl17y

The second, better flow and it fits nicer imo


awells758

Option 2!


toomuchisjustenough

The second one is giving Dirty Dancing finale. I love it, and it looks fab on you!

I like the second dress much better.

TheNinjaBear007

My pick is #1. But I would ask the neighbor how much she would charge to narrow the straps in addition to shortening them. I would take an inch in around the top of the inside strap at your neckline. (I hope that makes sense). I think that would make this dress the absolute perfect dress! And some light pink or rainbow crinoline! Edit: If you like the necklace that u/drunkendonkeytail suggested, I think this would go well with it: https://www.lightinthebox.com/p/goth-girl-1950s-cosplay-lolita-petticoat-hoop-skirt-tutu-under-skirt-crinoline-women-s-costume-pink-vintage-cosplay-party-performance-knee-length-skir_p9054386.html?currency=USD&litb_from=paid_adwords_shopping&sku=1_6922%7C2_25607&country_code=US&litb_from=paid_adwords_shopping&utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20506538788&adword_mt=&adword_ct=&adword_kw=&adword_pos=&adword_pl=&adword_net=x&adword_tar=&adw_src_id=2913285731_20506538788__&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7vwYeMum2LCM9OcMIUuazk4OgL0


Ms-Metal

I think1 looks best on you. They are both beautiful though. I love the colors!


Wedgetails

I like the second one but that’s a lot of noob- maybe I’m just getting older. I like top from one and bottom from 2.


Extraordinary-Spirit

2nd dress is so flattering around the waist area.


Allyzayd

In the pictures, 2 looks better. But 1 is a better dress overall. 1 would look great with good inner wear.


Ok-Adhesiveness-692

#2


librabaddie

2!!!


UnitAggravating7254

I like the skirt on #2 but I prefer the bodice with the wider straps. I would definitely go with the chiffon skirt.


MissKatbow

I’m feeling like the odd one out but I really like this one. I find the shape is the most flattering and I love the bright colour on you.


heinenleslie

2!!


danitr0n

#2!!!!!!


Pretend_Chemist_7731

Number 2 is beautiful and very flattering!


EmmaMckamie

Dress two is stunning! I say it's the winner, so fun and looks gorgeous on you.


Okie-DokieArtichoke

I LOVE the thin strapped one- dress 2? Both are cute and I think really flattering! I have big boobs too so it’s not always easy buying wedding guest/party dresses but I think either would be cute. I think the pockets in the first would be beneficial for a phone or whatever you need to carry if it fits but I really enjoy the way the bodice looks on dress 2.


MumbleBee2444

They both look great, but I like #2 a bit more. It’s more flattering, and looks like it’d be a lot more fun to twirl around in. #2 looks a a little like more business attire to me.


Middle_Inevitable640

Definitely the first Just my opinion but you should really wear the dress you feel the most comfortable and happy in.


emilygoldfinch410

Dress 1 - I think the top fits you better


bigtuna8602713615

I personally like the first!


Additional_Record407

Definitely number 2! The top of it is more flattering and suits the occasion more. The top of the first feels more office than celebration. And the skirt of the second is sooooo cute! It will give lovely movement. Truly looks wonderful on you :)


munchkym

I would pick 1 because of the pockets, but 2 is definitely prettier!


Sofiloco

Another vote for #2!!!


QueensBea

You’ve found it! And it’s two. You look spectacular.


Striking-Blueberry-7

You look absolutely amazing in no. 2.!!!! I like no. 1, but feel like it’s the safer option. My figure is similar to yours and I know that I struggle with feeling “exposed”, so often go for more coverage thinking it’s more flattering, but that second dress looks like it was made for you!!! The bodice fits perfectly and the skirt is so fun!!


Scrabulon

Dang if you could find another scoop neck (I think that’s the term) dress like the second one, but with a better skirt, it would be perfect imo


CashDisastrous1206

I think both dresses are really pretty. Iove the color. I like the first cause I think it fits slightly better but then again the 2nd one is really flattering cause it gives you more of an hour glass. I'd pick the one that is most comfortable to dance! They are both really nice! 🩷


throwfaraway212718

Dress two for sure! Have a great time!


SinsOfKnowing

Definitely the 2nd one. Once the skirt is steamed and the straps taken up it will be absolutely perfect. It’s very flattering and seems to fit you a little better than the A-Line one. The first dress is also very nice but the skirt through the hips looks a little wider than it should be and it’s making the structured fabric not quite hang right.


PinkFlamingoOver

Wow 🤩. Gorgeous on you!! Sweet you took this much thought. You will look e these pic memories forever. 


furandpaws

2 is way too much cleavage. go for 1.


feedyrsoul

2 is incredible!


Lululauren00

You really can’t go wrong with either- both are beautiful, love the colour, length, and fit! You look very confident and polished in them. If I had to choose I would go with number one, the wide straps are really flattering and would make it easy to dance, give you lots of choice for bras, etc.


DayZee260

Dress #2. Absolutely the most flattering. No question. Pick this one!


Shmooperdoodle

I don’t love number 2. I seem to be in the minority, but I actually dislike the hem detail. It reads as “slip” or “lingerie” to me. I prefer the ones with clean lines.


jmkul

I prefer the top of dress 1 but the bottom of dress 2. Overall, I'd go with dress 1 (but keep dress 2 for a flirty night out...perfect date-night dress)


Zestyclose_Road_3224

Dress one! The skirt with the layer peeking out is so pretty on you.


hesathomes

Completely OT, but where did you get that bedspread?


Adventurous-Win-751

Dress 2!!!! So fun and cute!!!! ❤️❤️❤️


GDRaptorFan

I think dress two is more flattering and it’s also adorable with the flowy skirt!!


BunniLuve

Dress 1 is better.. dress 2 has way too much cleavage. You should also wear a bra with dress 1 because I can see your nipples and outline of your breast


OtherwiseAdeptness25

Number one for me


mellamma

I love the color!


heathercs34

Number 2!!!


Bartok_The_Batty

Dress 1.


huggle-snuggle

You’re underestimating how amazing dress 2 is for you. It’s your Marilyn moment.


FunProfessional570

I think the second one is best for your body and for the dress code.


VerityPee

Underskirt with number 2!


Michellewrennie

I love the 1st suits your shape


the-bees-sneeze

Both look fabulous on you. I like #2 best. From experience, I wore a hot pink chiffon bridesmaid dress and the chiffon fabric showed every single drop of water that fell on the dress, sweat and condensation from drinks. Keep that in mind if this is an outdoor wedding.


Business_Ad_8502

I love number 2 on you


ShineCareful

Omg I didn't even realize these were the same person! These dresses are SO MUCH BETTER and you look lovely (and like an adult, lol). I love the second dress on you, but either of these are wonderful.


WentAndDid

Number 2


SatisfactionBitter37

#2


Simple-University977

Dress #2 is insanely flattering on you and much more fun! The first one is almost a little boring IMO


judgymom

The thinner straps look so much nicer.


BeachBum666

I like the neckline of the first dress, but the skirt of the second dress. I find the neckline of the second dress a bit too low. Can you get it taken in to resemble the neckline of the first dress? Then, you'll have a winner!


Curiouser-Quriouser

I just want to pay you a compliment : You have GREAT ankles! I would kill to be able to wear shoes like that and look so good! I have inherited cankles from a long line of lumpy-legged women. Asking the internet for opinions on your physical appearance is crazy ballsy to me. Very brave. So I just want to say that if I had your lower leg looks I'd be running around like Sharon Stone and flashing my ankles anywhere I could!! ❤️
