View B

View A

I sorta like the ides of the skirt portion from the second one and the top portion (view B) from the first one...

Answer 1

If your grandmother is making it, could she not combine the 2 parts that you like? I personally like number 2 the most, because I am not a fan of the pick up skirt. But I can see why you prefer the top of number one - it has more to it and is generally more flattering for bigger breasted women. Would your grandma be able to create something that combines them both? Becuase I think that would be perfect. If not, go for number two!! :)  

Answer 2

The bottom of dress from view B is much nicer than view A, in my opinion.  As for the top, I think it would depend on where you are getting married, what season, and your body type.  

Answer 3

I LOVE the first one. It's amazing!! Good Luck!!  ( =

Answer 4

5184 would look good strapless

Answer 5

if ur grandmother is making the dress for u, go for ur combination.it'll be really elegant and classy.

Answer 6

The second one.

If she can mix, I agree with you - the skirt from the second, with bodice B from the first.

Answer 7

I Like The 2nd One.. But Without The Sleeves.

The 1st One Is Pretty But I Hate That Gathered Look, If It Didn't Have That It Would Be Nice.

But If Your Grandmother Is A Seamstress She Could Always Add Some Personal Touches, & That Would Probably Be Better. That Way The Dress Is Unique & Your Own. No One Will Have It But You..

Unless Someone Out There In The World Has The Exact Same Dress In Their Head.

=)

Good Luck.

Answer 8

I like B but without the shoulder thing.

Answer 9

I like both, but am partial to the one with the pick ups because it's very much like mine.  I added a lace bolero to it to change the look (here's a link for some photos)

Have you tried either on?  I would recommend you do, that might help with your decision.

Congrats & GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 10

the top one gets my vote.

congrats!!

Answer 11

They are both lovely but are you petite or not? Your body type will influence how a wedding dress will look on you. You really need to try on both or more. The View B is fancier but not everyone can pull off the layers and ruffles. The View A is more plain and simpler. I don't know your tastes or your body type. I like the View B but it's your wedding and like I said, you need to try them on. Things always look better on the model or even in the stores and after you try them on, they may look different on you or you may not like them. Congrats and Best Wishes on your upcoming wedding! You may want to ask realtives and friends and of course your lovely Grandmother who is sweet enough to make it for you. You'll be one of a kind!

Answer 12

The first dress is the best.  It looks elegant and the second one looks like a prom dress

Answer 13

I like the first one, and love the bottom of it!!!

Answer 14

number 1! congrats :}

Answer 15

The second one looks really nice. I think it is more classic and won't date as quickly as the first one (as the skirt on the first one is very trendy this season). However, like you, I like the top part of the first dress and the bottom part of the second dress.

Good luck!

Answer 16

I think the first one is more unique and beautiful. the second one is rather common.  

Answer 17

Hi.  I like the second one because I am not a fan of the "pick up skirts." (view B).

So...if she is experienced, then she should be able to do what you want....the skirt of the second one...and the bodice of the first one!  

Answer 18

I love the one from voguepatterns. I am not a fan of the pick up skirts. They will look dated in photos in a few years I know everyone loves them right now  but I love the simple elegance iof the second dress.  

Answer 19

I like the second one. It looks more classy and elegant. They are both beautiful but the second one stands out more.That's my pick.

Answer 20

I like your combo of the two idea...go for that!
