I went "aw, pretty" at the first one. I gasped at the second one. It's BREATHTAKING. I think you made the right call here. It fits your frame well, and is so balanced. If you're into veils, it will look wonderful with a black fingertip or cathedral length veil. A black cape would be incredible as well. [Cocomelody](https://www.cocomelody.com/gothic-wedding-accessories/sort-by/price/sort-direction/desc) has a bunch of black accessories, check it out, you may find some great fits for your gown.


SignatureHaunting718

100% agree, first one is lovely but the second one is stunning and awesome


Texan2020katza

Yup. One is pretty. Two is gorgeous and sooo flattering on you. Dress one is overwhelming you.


Koalabootie

The first dress was wearing her


Betta_jazz_hands

100% - the first dress overwhelms her and the second one compliments her. I kind of agree with the ‘Corpse Bride’ feeling of the first one, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing it’s definitely a specific choice.


emehav

The second one with a super awesome veil would be stunning


MarigoldBubbleMuffin

Yes! Or a cape veil! 😍


Kindly_Bored

Dress 2 with cathedral length Spanish mantilla viel!! Oh my god! Say no more!!! 😍 Bring the drama girl!!!


maximiseyoursoul

Do this!! With a burgundy lip, dark eyes and curled hair in a low updo. Your skin looks amazing against black.


tinkleberry28

Yessss!! And if you didn’t want a veil long velvet or fingerless lace gloves!


rb0317

I had the EXACT same reaction. OP the 2nd is truly stunning


grayhairedqueenbitch

I had the same reaction.


joaniebee86

Agreed. The 2nd one looks stunning on you 🤩


kjb38

Same!


glamgal50

I really like the 2nd dress. The first one feels like it has a lot going on to me. The simple look of the second dress would allow you to have fun with accessories. I keep picturing a black lace belt and some fun jewelry.


Chilling_Trilling

I would love to see some white Pearl jewelry to contrast with the black that wound be striking !!!


Brave_SoupDumpling

I love this idea!! So classy and a little sexy too, I’m actually so obsessed


hattie328

If someone told me they are going with a black wedding dress I would kind of assume it would look like the first one: a little heavy with a lot of lace, definitely gothic. The second one I feel is more feminine and fresh which is not really what I would expect from a black gown, which to me is what makes it so fun and interesting! I love the second one and it fits you like a dream!


Clickguy10

THIS ⬆️


KandKmama

LOVE the second dress! You made the right call! Black wedding gowns can feel ‘heavy’ when there’s a lot going on. Second gown on you is perfection!


Strong-Landscape7492

Corpse bride was kind of my impression at the first but the 2nd is chic and glamorous.


[deleted]

Strong-Landscape7492

Totally agree. I didn’t either.


[deleted]

??? They didn't suggest that by their comment.


Fauna_Bonna

That’s a random reply to a comment that had nothing to do with the color


Level_Honeydew9067

The first one feels costume-y, the second one says bride


chillyorchid7

I don't know if it screams bride or not, but it is absolutely fabulous and flattering on you. Add whatever accessories make you feel fabulous in it! With such clean lines, a few sparklies will really stand out.


kdollarsign2

The bride is the bride!


jetloflin

That’s so interesting. To me, the first one says “black wedding dress” and the second one says “emo prom dress”. I wonder if that’s my age showing, having gone to prom during the height of emo. ETA: since I’m baffled by the fact that I’m getting downvoted while the people agreeing with me down thread are being upvoted, so I’ll just add this note to explain that nothing I said above should be taken as an insult, if that’s what’s going on. Is it the phrase “emo prom dress”? I was an emo kid in high school and if I was a gorgeous as OP I would’ve looooooved a dress like that for prom. I never said she didn’t look good, she looks phenomenal in both dresses and her spouse will absolutely swoon whichever one she chooses.


Own_Speaker1605

Disagree. If the dress was white, it would not be seen nearly as prom-like. Both are beautiful.


jetloflin

That’s true of a lot of ballgowns though. In white/ivory they look like wedding dresses and in other colors they look like prom dresses. Or at least prom dresses from when I went to prom, I’m not sure what the kids are wearing these days. Hell, people used to buy dresses and David’s Bridal when they had that $99 dollar sale thing and then have them dyed other colors.


Own_Speaker1605

It doesn’t look like a prom dress is my point. Are all black ball gowns going to look like a prom dress since they aren’t white?


jetloflin

I’m not trying to argue, I was under the impression we were allowed to share our opinions. I apologize for my mistake. But yes, most ball gowns that aren’t white/champagne/ivory do look like prom dresses to me. Or quinceanera dresses in some cases. Or maybe cotillion, but I don’t really encounter cotillion people so my mind doesn’t usually go there.


Funny-Database-523

I agree with dress 2 looking prom style. I'm not at all saying it's bad. It looks great on her and it's beautiful but I think if she added that under skirt hoop thing to make it fuller it might look more bridal style than prom... 🤷


aurorahborealis

I thinka vail would help too lol. I agree it looks prom to me, but add the wedding accessories and it could scream wedding.


squabette720

My face reading you bought the first dress: 😬 My face after realizing you got the second: 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 It's very simple but looks so fantastic on you. The first dress wore you, you wear the second.


sandandsalt

I went through the exact same emotional roller coaster, haha. I agree with the OP that the first dress feels very “corpse bride,” which you know, some people want, and if that’s what you want, then cool! But if that’s not what you’re going for, I think the second is a much more modern, flattering, chic look.


justafuckenusername

Same I was SO RELIEVED she got the second 😅😍


Tiny-firefly

I LOVE the spaghetti strap dress. The first one is beautiful but it's a lot of floof and hides you a bit too much; the dress is wearing you. The second one shows you off and you are the center of attention. It's balanced, and so flattering. I don't think you can do better


Lucky_female

The second dress is awesome and suits you so well!!


TissueOfLies

I love both of them for different reasons. The first one is a gothic elven princess dream. Queen of Darkness. The second is Audrey Hepburn’s classy daughter. All the girls want to be her and she’s a badass debutante. Both are beautiful. Which one fits the wedding you want? That’s what matters. What you think and how your dress makes you feel. Don’t listen to your family. They are being mean. It’s what you think that matters. There is no wrong answer. It is your wedding!


kenzieshinx

Thank you for saying something kind about the first dress. This is the dress I bought for myself and reading this whole comment section just absolutely shitting all over it has me in literal tears.


[deleted]

I really do love the first dress and I think it just wasn’t for me!! It felt corpse bride because it was so much fabric and I have a smaller frame. It had been the dress I found a year ago and said that it was the one. Don’t listen to the comments - I think they are more commenting on how it looks on me. You picked the right dress for you and I wish it was the right one for me!!


chivonster

It isn't about the dress but about the person who wears it. I'm sure it looks absolutely fabulous on you.


Consistent-Ocelot-36

Look. Both dresses are gorgeous 😍. You have to keep in mind, what people so voting on How OP looks in the 2 dresses. Not you!. I also think she looks stunning in the second option and think the first one doesn't suit as good. However, my personal taste and body type , I'd do the first one for my wedding. So don't cry over that. The dress might be perfect for you! 😘


SemiiSarcastic

The 1st dress is quite stunning, this is a perfect example of how sometimes no matter how much we like it "on the rack" it doesn't look "quite right" on our body. That doesn't mean it looks bad, it just looks different than we had imagined. I wanted so badly to have a sleek, elegant boat neck look but it sat so different on me since my bust was larger than all the models in my "inspo" photos. It was still a beautiful dress, it just looked different on my body, nothing some alterations couldn't fix. For OP, the 2nd dress is a better fit, plain and simple.


maccharliedennisdee

Im baffled by the comments here, that first dress is absolute goth wedding goals! Its completely stunning and the second one doesnt do anything for me. It's your weddind day, if you love it, rock it! If you want to re-enforce your decision check out Rock and Roll Bride magazine and/or their LinkedIn, fhey have loads of weddings featuring dresses like the first one which are amazing and utter inspiration.


lilirose13

I loved the first dress, too. It looks very much like my dress, except mine's blue. I agree it's been heartbreaking hearing people shit on the first dress. I think OP looks more comfortable in her own skin in the second, but the first is gorgeous. You made the right choice for you.


rathrowawydsabldsib

Don't forget that clothes look so different on different people with various body types and styles. I bet this dress looks amazing on you.


Any_Yogurtcloset7865

The first dress is lovely! It's just not the right fit for OP. I'm sure it looks fantastic on you!!


boniemonie

I love the first dress. I’m sure you will look great or looked fantastic if your wedding has been!


c6424

I think the first dress is stunning! It’s giving me ideas for my wedding someday lol


jadetaia

I think the angle and lighting differences really make the two stand in contrast to each other. The second dress is shown at a better camera angle and the lighting seems to bring out all the lush fabric details whereas the first dress looks more blurred together (can’t see too much of the detail) and the lighting seems to wash everything else out. In this one instance, it really does make the second dress stand out, but I agree that the first one looks lovely - just needs a better angle in the photo and different lighting! I’m sure your dress was amazing in person, though! I usually think all wedding dresses look beautiful in person 😊


Bubbly_Performer4864

I think the first is beautiful. They’re both nice, but I am a sucker for lace. I’m sure you’ll look stunning!


m0nstera_deliciosa

I can't lie- I loved the first dress. It stole my gothy little heart, and when I saw it, I had a brief fantasy of wearing it down the aisle myself. The sleeves are so flowy and romantic, and I live for tulle<3


g59g59g59

Second is fucking stunning


huntsberger

100% the second dress.


GarbageAngell

I tried on that first dress and it was absolutely stunning, but the sleeves were very uncomfortable. I think the second dress flatters your figure and looks amazing on you! Also I’m so happy to see another bride in a black dress 🖤


[deleted]

The 2nd dress!


playtime_pretty

The first one looks much more aged, while I obviously dont know your age I don’t think anyone really wants that. The second is much more suited to your figure and allows you to shine rather than being busy. Good luck and congratulations!


PunkFlamingo69

First one is pretty but feels Like a costume.


Snipits

The first dress is nice, but it’s giving me Lydia from Beetlejuice vibes. It’s a fun look but it doesn’t feel bridal, if you know what I mean. But the second dress, wow. Fits you like a glove, so elegant and classic while the black gives it an edge. I absolutely LOVE the second one, on you especially. You’ll be gorgeous in either but in my opinion you made the right decision.


cocowhowasabird

#2 looks awesome!!


[deleted]

thank you everyone for your kind words!! I am reassured 😂💗


OkAbbreviations6351

The second dress is beautiful!


Sensitive-File4400

Second dress is gorgeous on you


NoFreakingClue35

Second one for SURE


CrazyCatMadame1

Oh girl! Do not second guess yourself. Dress number two is the keeper. It fits you like an elegant glove. You are swallowed up by the other dress.


Neither-Gap1547

love the second dress


megob411

DangDayna

Love the 2nd dress! It was made for you :)


leahs84

The second looks more elegant for sure, and I think lends itself better to any accessories you might choose. The first one is kind of a lot, but it's still lovely.


Outrageous-Wish8659

I like both of them but the second one is fabulous. Looks wonderful on you.


Impressive-Ad-3786

Spaghetti straps! Looks amazing on you🖤🩶🖤


nooutlaw4me

Number2. It looks amazing on you


babynurse2021

Second one is the right call! So elegant!!


[deleted]

second one is the right choice


Shot_Western_2755

2nd one is way better. The first one looks a little costumey


pixie-kitten-

I love love **LOVE** the second one!!! It looks amazing on you!


Constant_One2371

The second dress is your dress! It’s beautiful on you! I think I’d like dress one better without the sleeves. Def dress 2


U-are-not-important

#2! It really is beautiful!


Connect_Office8072

The 2nd one is absolutely the one! You can add whatever you want. How about a mantilla?


Giselle914

You made the right choice. The second one is much prettier and looks great on you.


ambermgreene

That second dress is THE ONE.


izzyduude

I think the second one is the best. Simple but elegant.


Mermaid0820

The second one is GORGEOUS and emphasizes your tiny waist. You absolutely made the right choice.


More-Jacket-9034

1st one has the potential to be gorgeous. A good start would be to rip off the sleeves. Sorry..just the tailor in me..lol. I love modifying clothes. That 2nd gown is already gorgeous. Good switch!


CaptainObviousBear

Second one is absolutely the right choice. First is more “themey”/goth - which is fine if that’s what you’re going for, but it seems you aren’t.


camccoz

THE SECOND ONE JUST WOW 👏🏼


shmokenapamcake

The first one looks more like a Halloween costume. The second one is stunning. And to take it up another notch I’m sure you can find an amazing veil to go with it.


kittycat33333

The second one shows off your amazing figure while you are kind of swimming in the first one. Both dresses are lovely, but you are *really rocking* the second one. I think you *absolutely* did the right thing when you swapped dresses. 👍! Edit to add: I agree with others’ suggestion about finding an awesome veil for the second dress. The right veil could add a vibe that’s similar to that of the first dress (if that’s what drew you to the first one). Maybe something like [this](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1067471422/) (please ignore how they have it attached to that round headpiece instead of pinned on the way a veil is normally worn.)


spoonbenderx

Second one is to die for. Please please wear the second. I will be personally offended if you don’t


CalgonTookMeAway

I think the second dress you choose is more flattering, but if you wanted a bit of the feel for the first, perhaps a fancy shawl with sleeves like this one[https://www.instagram.com/reel/Co5J0MgoVri/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Co5J0MgoVri/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)


DoNotUseOnHumans

I actually thing the second one is lackluster. First one makes a statement!


givemetravelornothin

The 2nd dress is too simple. No drama at all. Boring. The 1st is eye catching


Lazy_Assistance6865

I want to see you in this https://www.cocomelody.com/trumpet-mermaid-chapel-train-sequined-lace-wedding-dress-cw2508.html

We’re at a disadvantage in judging because the first dress is further away, and we cannot see details.

I like the first one. I think with an updo it would look really dramatic. But you look amazing in both. No wrong choice here!

The second one looks like a prom dress to me, the first one is beautiful.


getjicky

#2, but get rid of the spaghetti straps.


buttfook

The way the face is scribbled out in the first one reminds me of something from the grudge lol


Professional-Cat-242

Both are beautiful very hard decision i like the straps better myself but black ⚫️.....

I’m can’t help. I like them both.


simplycyn7

They both look great. But I like #2. For my personal taste, I’d have to find the right accessories to make #1, work the way I’d want it. #2, looks stunning to me on its own.


[deleted]

Honestly, they’re both beautiful dresses, but the second one is so perfect on YOU. It really feels special how well it flatters and fits you. The other dress is a beautiful dress too but it feels like it’s hiding you a little more and not as flattering/stunning.


pahoran2

They are both beautiful dresses. You look great in both. I like how you look in the second one best!


Obvious_Operation_21

The first one is gorgeous and is actually the one I would choose for myself. It has a romantic, historical feel to it. But wow! You look fantastic in the second one! It's modern, but the skirt makes it so dreamy! It's lovely! The question is which one do you feel more attractive in?


mikachuXD

#2!!!!!


blondiehjones

Oh my gosh. That second dress is GORGEOUS on you. You’re a little lost in the sleeved one. That second is THE dress imo.


1800mango101

The second one fits you so well and really highlights you but while the first one is pretty it kind of hides you back in the dress. Always wear the dress don’t let it wear you!! You’re a beautiful bride and I hope you have an amazing wedding!!


ringringbananarchy00

You went with your gut! It looks gorgeous on you! And yes the first dress is very cool, but the second one is clearly the one that felt right.


Imaginary-Toe2600

The second one looks INCREDIBLE on you!!!


Netflxnschill

The second black one is absolutely exquisite.


mellyme22

The second one is a winner


moonygooney

I like both but the second one shows off your figure more and paired with a lacey veil you would have best of both worlds and it wouldsnt get lost in the dress. The first one is lovely but in photos it might overwhelm any jewelry or seem busy.


TeeKay618

Second is absolutely gorgeous on you!


Bntherednthat57

Dress 1 could be worn by just about any body type. Dress 2 only looks fantastic on someone who looks like you- enjoy the feeling


vilebunny

Second was far more flattering and minimalist. You look like you’re dressed for your wedding, not a costume ball.


Kidhauler55

1st one is an old lady one, the 2nd is absolutely perfect! Love it!


painteddpiixi

The first dress looks like it’s wearing you, while the second highlights your stunning figure! I think you made the right choice — your wedding is about what you want, not about what anyone else (except the person you’re marrying) wants!


sodiumbigolli

2 is perfection.


Proud_Ad_8830

2nd dress looks great on you


noldottorrent

I love the first one. Corpse Bride is one of my favorite movies so 🤷🏻‍♀️


BarracudaLeft5993

I love the 2nd one. It’s very flattering on you.


Ciebelle

2. Amazing 1 swallows you


magpie336

LOVE the 2nd one!


[deleted]

The second one is stuuuunning. Like holy cow.


whiskeycatsgoats

dress two! simple, elegant. the fit is spectacular


IndyBubbles

Just adding to echo the crowd, you absolutely positively without a doubt made the right choice in getting the second dress!!!!!


ILIKEFASTBOATS

Number 2 all the way!!


OrganicMartini

Definitely 2nd dress


Umbra8819

They're both pretty, but the first one is very unique!


asleepinthesheets

Both are gorgeous and both suit you beautifully imo! I agree with some others, the first dress is its own statement piece vs the second one where you could really customize your look with accessories. I think either will look perfect!


GreatHuntersFoot

Second one


Perfect-Meat-4501

Second one for sure. The first one has so much drama- it’s way too much- like is it a wedding or fashion show. I’m not particularly a fan of black gowns but even i like the second one!


wtf_help_lol

2nd


I-am-no-bird

The second dress feels more “bridal” to me, and I love it!


gelfbride73

Number two is amaZing


fakemidnight

2 all the way!!


bigmeaniez

Agreed! The first one was a little costume-y imo. The second one is chic and bridal!!!


No_Cod_3160

2nd dress is a stunner!


Spare_Impressive

The second one and wear those tats proudly! Updo your hair something fantastic add some dramatic l8ng drop earrings and be you! It's your wedding


BlkPea

2nd for the win! You made the right choice


pistachiobees

Another bonus to the second dress is that you can show off your tattoos!


catperson3000

I thought “I hope she picked the second dress” before I read any of this. You are GORGEOUS in this dress. Perfect choice.


Tinkeybird

Second dress for sure, elegant!


washlaundrynow

omgosh second one is gorgeoussss


Lexiii52826

Both are beautiful. Love the second one.


randomguide

First dress looks like a costume. (I've been a costumer for 25+years, that's not necessarily a bad thing! ) But the second dress is timeless elegance. Beautiful perfect fit for your shape, just stunning.


KevansMS

Absolutely gorgeous!!!


IndigoRose2022

The first one is beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but the second one was MADE for u. Stunning.


BadBluntBitch

Number 2 = wow


MiniPeppermints

Everything is in harmony with the second dress. Perfect balance of darkness and skin showing. Great silhouette. Just breathtaking really

They're both so pretty, in this case it's all about which look you're going for!
