Which Wedding Gown do you like?

I tried on a bunch of dresses this morning and now I am more confused than ever!! I've called every store in a 50 mile radius, and nobody carries Maggie's Edwina, so it looks like I'll be choosing something else. This morning I went gown shopping for the first time, and thanks to all of your advice I managed to only bring my parents, sister (MOH) and best friend, which was way way better than the 8 people who originally invited themselves.

Anyway, I wanted your opinions on these dresses. I won't say which one I'm leaning towards! I'm going shopping one more time on Monday and then making my final decision. I would definitely be happy in any of these dresses, which makes it so hard to choose!

PS. I know the one dress is MonaLisa by Maggie Sottero because I found it online, but the shop wouldn't write down the names of the other dresses. Recognize any? I'd like to look them up online!

By the way, excuse my crazy faces. I was totally confused and stressed!!! And I'm sorry for the bad camera angles!

I think that means you have to go with whatever YOU like best!  :)  They're all beautiful.

I'm really not positiveeee which one I like best. I think I'll try another place this week and get some more ideas. It's just hard to tell which one looks best, because I'm the one wearing it. I always think stuff looks different on myself!

I'm tied between 1&3.  They were all very similar to me, but the details on those 2 stood out most.

I think that is what confuses me, they are all pretty similar. I have it pretty narrowed down to the style I want as you can see, it's just some differences in the details.

i really like the first one out of these 4, and i think it fits with your theme the most. but i'd be interested to see you in more because you don't have that ecstatic, over-the-moon look on your face when you find "the" dress.

I'm not sure if I'll ever have an "over the moon" look. Haha. I'm so so terrible at decisions. And this is such a big one! No matter what I do I'll end up worrying! My face looks so retarded in most of these pictures anyway! haha. my sister is notttt a flattering picture taker!

Okay, they're all somewhat similar but all gorgeous!
I am a huge Maggie fan (my dress is a Maggie Sottero dress, so yes, a little biased)  and I looked up Edwina and it's gorgeous, which I am sure me saying that isn't helping anything because it's not within your radius. Maybe you could ask a bridal salon that carries Maggie dresses if they could bring in Edwina for you to try on. I know some stores will do that.
Anyway, all of the dresses are gorgeous and whichever one you choose is going to be amazing on your day.

I do want to add this, and I'm sure you already know it. I noticed that your wedding is 300 days away and while I was at Maggie Sottero's website I noticed that she's about to release a new line.
I don't know if you're partial to Maggie Sottero, so I don't know if any of that information was helpful. There are other amazing designers out there.

Thanks futuremrskennedy, I definitely love lots of Maggie gowns and I didn't realize she was releasing more soon. The bridal store this morning told me it'll take 8 months for a maggie gown to come in so I really don't want to wait around to long, since I'll need to cram some fittings in there as well. I know some places are different, but I went to that shop because a family friend is their seamstress and I'd really like her to work on my dress. They told me if I found another gown at a different store they'd order it at theirs for me!

my maggie gown only took 5 months to come in. But then again it all depends on the time of the year you order it too. I ordered mine last August

Its definately between dress 3 and four they are spectacular but dress one has the most vintage  appeal Three is more glam goddess and 4 is more simple and two is just two much. I would also look at the feel of the dress on you. Its totally unfair that you have a killer body and look great in everything LOL HA HA...

I think #3 looks the best on u, but then again #1 would look better if you were wearing a crinoline under it so you get the fullness that is intended for the gown

Thanks stbmrslynn, but don't let the dresses fool you. There are no boobs under that fabric! Haha! As you can see from the picture, I could fit both hands completely in the dress! Oh well, I've heard they grow when you get pregnant!

I've heard someone say before that they called Maggie's customer service or something and they were able to tell them which stores actually had the dress that they were looking for.  So maybe you could try calling the actual company to see if how close the nearest place is that has that dress.  I don't know how far you are willing to go, but I called everywhere in the 4 states near me that carried the line of the dress I was wanting....after finally buying a different dress I heard that bit of info...too bad I hadn't known earlier...I probably would have driven 5 hours to try it on.

Dress # 3 closely resembles Maggie Sottero Victoriana.
It is my favorite of the ones you have posted. =)

I love the last one and the next to last one!  I can't tell if there are three or four dresses so I don't which numbers those would be, but hopefully you know which ones I mean.  All of them look beautiful on you, but those two are my faves!

I think the dress #4 is teh best one.  I like the details of the 3 but not the skirt as much.

I can't believe they didnt toldyou the names for the dresses. Normally the shops write down the #'s and prices for you so when you come back you can try the exact dress you tried before.

 |  Pittstown, NJ, USA  |  08/02/2009  | 
She wrote down the dress numbers and designers, but wouldn't give it to me, she's keeping it in a file at the store or something. Weird. I had wanted to see what they looked like online to get an idea! I wasn't planning on trying to buy it somewhere else. Sheesh. I'm going to another store tomorrow to try some on, and even if I found a dress there I would return to Jefre's and have them order it since my mom's friend works there. She kind of made me angry. I was already confused enough! Hopefully tomorrow goes better!

I'm pretty sure #3 is Maggie Sottero's Victoriana.  There are lots of pictures on Maggie's website of brides wearing that dress if you want to check them out! 58 to be exact!!
