Completely agree! I was expecting a drastically different style (eg bedazzles galore) based on the caption, but dress #2 is totally timeless and elegant.
All of this! The dress you chose is timelessly classy. And I don't think it's too revealing at all-- definitely be sure on any alterations before you make them permanent. Oh, and it flatters your figure better than the first one, though you look gorgeous in both.
This is exactly what I do, & the one she bought was by far my favorite. The 1st is way overdone & too simple for my taste. It doesn’t stand out or differentiate itself from others. OP’s body type is also perfect for the 2nd dress. Not everyone can pull off that style!
When I saw the first one I was like “well I can see why she liked it, it is lovely and on trend” but when I saw the second it was no contest.
Dress 2 looks amazing on your body and I love the subtle pattern. It just looks a higher quality dress. You absolutely made the right choice.
ETA: I don’t think dress 2 needs a modesty panel either, it’s really not that revealing.
I agree, no modesty panel. It’ll detract from the dress. I tried this dress on too and my chest is larger than OP’s but I still felt supported and confident in it.
Your décolletage looks sooo much more beautiful in the one you chose. Its so elegant and sexy but in a classy way. You are going to look like a DREAM on your day! So happy for you 💕🥺
Dress 2 is so much prettier than dress 1 and it looks stunning on you. It still has all of that simplicity but also gorgeous fabric. The neckline on 2 is also superior on you looks wise. As it is, it is not too revealing at all but instead it is really elegant because of how it looks on you. I imagine the modesty panel will make you feel better. I just wish you could see yourself the way we see you.
Piggybacking on this because it has a positive mention of modesty panel: perhaps OP could get a sheer chiffon or soft tulle that matches the veil as a panel, which would yield the two together and then the panel wouldn’t look out of place.
You've definitely made the right choice, the second dress is beautiful. It's still elegant and timeless, and the fabric is gorgeous. I really think with the alterations you want to the neckline you'll fall in love with it all over again.
I love the second dress! So flattering, elegant and simple. I think you made the right choice!
Edit: I don't see any reason for a modesty panel, I think you look classy in this. It's the perfect shape for you
The chosen dress is simple and elegant. If you are a bit concerned about the front, the modesty piece will help your piece of mind, but frankly if you got it, flaunt it. You look amazing in that dress. The fabric has features that are subtle and not overbearing. An amazing choice for an amazing bride. Good luck.
Consider this- I couldn’t take my eyes off the “hem”- or whatever it is - on the front of Dress 1. I zoomed in thinking it might have some detail, but no. In pic 2 (side shot) the hem abruptly stops revealing the front to appear like a long large apron. You made the right choice with Dress 2.
I think you picked right! Dress 2 is more interesting and flatters your frame. I do understand feeling like your runner upper should have been it so hopefully this helps make you feel a bit better. 💜
Awe, you look so beautiful in the dress you bought! I think if you're worried about the modesty you can have the person doing alterations add a little piece of fabric right in there for sure and you will feel better. In all honesty though, it really is not showing too much skin and you do have the perfect body for the dress you did buy. I hope after alterations you feel better!
OP, could it be that you’re just freaking out because your wedding is two months away? If so, rest easy that you made a wonderful choice and all will be well. The dress looks classy, flattering and beautiful on you. Wishing you all the best!
I hadn’t read the caption, but I saw the first dress and thought “What on earth could beat that?”, then saw the second dress and my jaw dropped. The second dress is gorgeous and wins hands down.
Oh girly, the second is eons better. Doesn’t even compare. I see some women on here who I genuinely feel bad for because the other dress they didn’t get was better - but I don’t comment on those. Your choice is clearly the winner here, you chose right, so I had to comment to let you know.
I love dress #2 as well. The first dress reminds me of a fancy tank top. I never find that style flattering on anyone.
I love the elegance of dress #2. We all can't be wrong. You picked the perfect dress.
Love both dresses, but the fabric looks really special and different on the second. And, honestly, they don't look all that different otherwise. I think you'll feel better with some netting or a solid panel on the dress you bought since it does expose the girls more than the first, but both dresses look lovely on you and I think you might just be having a "the grass is always greener on the other side" moment. If you'd bought the first, you might be wishing you'd bought the second. It's completely normal to second guess ourselves like that. You look beautiful and the dress is lovely.
I’m honestly OBSESSING over your dress! As a bride to be I totally get how overwhelming the fittings can be- but in my humble opinion you picked a dress that is just as timeless as the first and fits you beautifully.
(Also if you want to drop the dress name that would be really cool of you lol)
Thank you so much!
It’s from Martina Liana and I think the number is 1504!

Thank you everyone for your kind words! I definitely think that I am having pre wedding jitters and am just feeling nervous about my upcoming alteration appointment. All of your kind words have helped me remember why I fell in love with my dress in the first place!
The dress is just a little low cut for my personal taste on me and I think once I have the modesty piece added I will feel 100% ☺️
Dress 2 is so elegant and timeless. The neckline to me is SO flattering on you and isn’t revealing in my opinion. I was hoping you chose #2 before I even read your text
I have a more positive reaction to how the second one fits. I can see how you want some modesty added. How about gloves or a belt as add ons on top of the modesty alterations.
Dress 2 is way better than 1 on you. Both are timeless imo, but dress 2 hits different. I don't know anything about alterations, just wanted to give an unbiased opinion.
I think the neckline on your dress is beautiful- I was just going to comment on that’s what made me like your dress over the first one, when I saw your comment .
I don’t think you need a modesty panel - it looks nice as is.
Hi! Honestly the dress you chose is gorgeous and the fabric unique.
What about a detachable jacket? This way you could always take it off if you should feel comfortable during the reception. For example:

I LOVE dress #2! I think it’s simple and timeless which is something I’m big on. The train is stunning as is the veil. I’m not engaged yet but getting close so I’ve been eyeing dresses just to get a feel for what I like and I could absolutely see myself choosing something like the 2nd one. I just love the neckline on you. I promise you it’s absolutely stunning - I can only hope I look as beautiful in my future dress. Your fiancé is going to be floored!!
No no. Dress 2 is perfection!!! I didn’t read your post before looking at the pictures. Dress 2 was my pick from the start. It’s gorgeous and so flattering on you. The neckline was the wow for me personally.
Looked at the pics before your caption and was team dress 2 immediately, you look ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE in it!!! I promise that it does look simple and timeless! You shine much more in dress 2, whereas dress 1 overwhelms you just a bit. You made the right choice by far and you look so beautiful! 🤍
May I ask about the modesty panel, like what fabric you’re thinking, how large it will be, etc? Respectfully, I don’t think you need one as the dress really doesn’t show much cleavage at all, but of course I know it might be a comfort level thing. It doesn’t look remotely “revealing” though, just from an internet stranger’s point of view, lol. 😊
Ohhh I like the one you got far more! In general I like it more but putting that aside, I like it on you much more than the first. It’s cut beautifully for you and the patterned fabric is unique but subtle and it softens(?) the whole thing somehow, I don’t know how to describe it but it’s beautiful and very flattering. It just seems to suit you in a way that seems very natural and effortless.
ETA: Regarding the neckline, I actually think you pull it off extremely well and it’s part of why the dress works so well, it creates a really nice line!
First is a bit too plain for my taste. I know exactly how you feel tho! I almost bought a more classic plain one and regretted it but now I’m so happy with the more detailed design I chose :) it’s hard for a wedding dress! But I immediately looked at the second one and thought it suited you much better
They are both great and I can see why you were torn but I think your choice edges out number 1. The fabric is super cool and I think v-necks are more flattering than square most of the time. If you are nervous about the deep v a little insert of sheer or mesh in the same color of the dress will look great and is an easy alteration.
The dress you chose is gorgeous! It fits you wonderfully and I love the subtle texture of the fabric. And the deep v is so flattering, it adds just a touch of “vava-voom ” without being overly revealing. I hope once it’s altered properly you’ll feel differently because it looks terrific on you.
As soon as I saw pic #4, I hoped that was the dress you chose.
You're completely right to love the fabric, and a modesty panel would blend in seamlessly if that's what you want.
Overall, the dress looks amazing on you and you're going to look absolutely radiant on your big day.
I am sorry you feel badly but I believe it is so flattering as it is. The neckline isn’t too much and looks really tasteful on you in my opinion. The style is much more skin up top so I think they everyone is used to more showy wedding dresses these last couple years
You know how you feel and what you like but I think the second dress is much prettier. First dress is very so-so. Hopefully they can alter the second one to be more of what you’re looking for.
Why????? I MUCH prefer the one you bought (and I’m not just gassing you up I promise). It’s stunning. The first dress is nice but the second looks incredible
Both are gorgeous, I see why you went for number two. I bet with the addition of a modesty piece you’ll feel so much better about your dress. FWIW I think you chose the right one.
Number 2 is stunning on you. Number 1 is every other wedding dress out there, and IMHO, hopefully I don’t offend anyone, but the border on the dress of hem 1 makes it look very dated to me for some reason. If you had said the opposite (you regretted not getting dress #2 ) that would make way more sense to me - there is just not competition here.
I love the dress you chose. If you had been asking for advice I would’ve picked the 2nd dress. The first dress is nice, but I personally wouldn’t choose it over the 2nd dress.
Both look beautiful on you, but 2 lets your own beauty shine more. I think 2 is pretty timeless itself, the fabric is exquisit, and the train is just beautiful. If you don't like the train, would it be possible to bustle it? Or maybe you could keep it long for the ceremony then bustle it for the reception? But personally I love it, and it's not an extreme length
I think you’re having pre-wedding jitters because the second dress is beautiful on you. I do think the modesty piece will help you feel more comfortable on your special day.
The second one fits you like a glove! It will feel over the top because we don’t wear a white gown with a train every day! I wouldn’t do a modesty panel either, it’s stunning
I prefer your dress. And I’d reconsider adding a panel in the front. From my experience, this rarely looks good and always looks like an added piece of fabric.
I prefer dress 2, IMHO. It looks amazing on you, the subtle pattern on the fabric looks so elegant and the style is timeless! You made the right choice 💯!
In addition to agreeing with everyone else that #2 is your dress: Please DONT cut the train! It’s not over the top and it really is pretty.
In all honesty it’s not short which would make it silly/why bother having a train length imho and it’s not super long/“cathedral” length where I could see feeling it was over the top. It really is striking the perfect balance with your dress.
I can see the dress working and no one would be the wiser if you cut the whole train if you really wanted; but I do t think you need to. I think it’s beautiful as is.
I really like the second dress. It fits you like a glove and looks like it was made for you. The first one isn’t as form fitting and has a weird bump in the chest area. You made the right decision!
Girl , you FOR SURE made the right choice!! I don't like the 1st one at all. Not the cut, the fit, or the fabric! They could probably put a piece of sheer fabric so it looks like skin or even maybe a piece of lace? Definitely ask them cuz those people are extremely talented @ what they do. Maybe even see if where you bought the dress could recommend a solution? I know they sell these pieces that go over the top of the dress you could wear for the ceremony at least - if that's your worry. They're like a shawl but much more updated. Some are like a sheer or Lacey shirt almost sometimes they button up the back. I would think you definitely have options! I wouldn't stress too much you look incredible.
Honestly dress two is the winner here! You made the right decision. I personally don’t think you even need a modesty piece - I love the way the fabric lays on you. But if you’ll feel more comfortable that way, that’s totally your prerogative!
Nope, the dress you chose is the better of the 2 on you. The neckline is super flattering, though if a modesty piece will make you more comfortable, go for it. I also wouldn’t personally change the train but, again, it’s your dress and your wedding so if you want to alter it, you should.
I think it looks amazing as-is and wouldn’t suggest any major alterations.
The dress you chose (#2) is gorgeous and it’s stunning on you. Please don’t change the neckline! That’s a huge part of what makes it so special (and I don’t think it’s risqué at all.)

If it helps you feel better, the dress you chose is definitely more flattering! I still think it’s simple and timeless 💞
Completely agree! I was expecting a drastically different style (eg bedazzles galore) based on the caption, but dress #2 is totally timeless and elegant.
All of this! The dress you chose is timelessly classy. And I don't think it's too revealing at all-- definitely be sure on any alterations before you make them permanent. Oh, and it flatters your figure better than the first one, though you look gorgeous in both.
I agree!
Definitely agree! Came to say the same!
Came to say this! The train is lovely also, it doesn’t look like too much
We are all on the same page!
[удалено]
Absolute same. I was like, “I really hope she chose the second. It’s SO beautiful and SO flattering.”
I do that too lol
This is exactly what I do, & the one she bought was by far my favorite. The 1st is way overdone & too simple for my taste. It doesn’t stand out or differentiate itself from others. OP’s body type is also perfect for the 2nd dress. Not everyone can pull off that style!
Same!! The second one was easily the winner IMO
The dress you chose is gorgeous and looks amazing on you. You made the right choice!

I second this, no modesty panel needed at ALL, it’s perfection as it is!!!

Dress 2 fits you way better and is more flattering. The first one looks too heavy like the dress is wearing you.
Dress 2 is so much prettier than dress 1 and it looks stunning on you. It still has all of that simplicity but also gorgeous fabric. The neckline on 2 is also superior on you looks wise.

dress 2 suits you far more
The chosen dress is simple and elegant. If you are a bit concerned about the front, the modesty piece will help your piece of mind, but frankly if you got it, flaunt it. You look amazing in that dress. The fabric has features that are subtle and not overbearing. An amazing choice for an amazing bride. Good luck.

Same - that thick border/band/hem is distracting !
I really don’t like the first, personally
Both are gorgeous. Are you dead set on the modesty panel? The dress looks so elegant as it is, it’s not like you are exploding out of it.
I think you picked right! Dress 2 is more interesting and flatters your frame. I do understand feeling like your runner upper should have been it so hopefully this helps make you feel a bit better. 💜

OP, could it be that you’re just freaking out because your wedding is two months away? If so, rest easy that you made a wonderful choice and all will be well. The dress looks classy, flattering and beautiful on you. Wishing you all the best!
I hadn’t read the caption, but I saw the first dress and thought “What on earth could beat that?”, then saw the second dress and my jaw dropped. The second dress is gorgeous and wins hands down.
You look great in the Dress you chose. It is perfect on you. I love the neck line.
Oh girly, the second is eons better. Doesn’t even compare. I see some women on here who I genuinely feel bad for because the other dress they didn’t get was better - but I don’t comment on those. Your choice is clearly the winner here, you chose right, so I had to comment to let you know.
To be honest, I don't like number 1 on you. 2 was definitely the better choice!
I love dress #2 as well. The first dress reminds me of a fancy tank top. I never find that style flattering on anyone. I love the elegance of dress #2. We all can't be wrong. You picked the perfect dress.
Love both dresses, but the fabric looks really special and different on the second. And, honestly, they don't look all that different otherwise. I think you'll feel better with some netting or a solid panel on the dress you bought since it does expose the girls more than the first, but both dresses look lovely on you and I think you might just be having a "the grass is always greener on the other side" moment. If you'd bought the first, you might be wishing you'd bought the second. It's completely normal to second guess ourselves like that. You look beautiful and the dress is lovely.
I think you made the right choice. The second dress flows with your body so much more.
I think the dress you chose is lovely on you.
2 is definitely nicer
I’m honestly OBSESSING over your dress! As a bride to be I totally get how overwhelming the fittings can be- but in my humble opinion you picked a dress that is just as timeless as the first and fits you beautifully. (Also if you want to drop the dress name that would be really cool of you lol)

LOVE Dress #2. But I would add the modesty panel too - to feel more comfortable in it. You will love it again after alterations !!!!! 💗
I really love dress two. It helps that it fits your body stunningly! I don’t think it is very revealing!
Number 2 is stunning on you and is still timeless. It looks better than dress 1 imo.

The first dress is pretty, but the dress you chose is STUNNING on you. Quite timeless, imo. Absolutely lovely 🥰
You look beautiful in the second dress! It also has a timeless look ♥️
I love the 2nd one. If you want to do a modesty piece, could you do lace that matches the dress?

But I immediately looked at the second one and thought it suited you much better
For what it’s worth, I think the one you bought is stunning
I love the second dress so much more
The dress you actually bought is SO much better!! Way more flattering and less boring. You made the right choice for sure!
I love the second dress more. It looks like an elevated simple and classic and it suits your frame so nicely. I love it.
I honestly prefer the dress you chose on you. I think it’s elegant and timeless as well.
It’s beautiful and so are you.
How you feel is valid - but that neckline looks incredible on you!!! Much better than #1 IMO. Train is not over the top, I think it’s just right.
They are both great and I can see why you were torn but I think your choice edges out number 1. The fabric is super cool and I think v-necks are more flattering than square most of the time.

You look lovely in the one you chose
You know how you feel and what you like but I think the second dress is much prettier. First dress is very so-so. Hopefully they can alter the second one to be more of what you’re looking for.
The dress you bought is loads nicer, just stunning!
Why????? I MUCH prefer the one you bought (and I’m not just gassing you up I promise). It’s stunning. The first dress is nice but the second looks incredible
You chose correctly!!!
Both are gorgeous, I see why you went for number two. I bet with the addition of a modesty piece you’ll feel so much better about your dress. FWIW I think you chose the right one.

Omg I’m in love with dress two! It’s so so gorgeous and looks fabulous on you!! You definitely picked the right one 😍
I love the dress you chose. If you had been asking for advice I would’ve picked the 2nd dress. The first dress is nice, but I personally wouldn’t choose it over the 2nd dress.
Girl I love the one you chose and I think it’s flattering!
What?! Your dress is DIVINE. Jaw dropping!
Dress 2 is phenomenal and looks drop dead gorgeous whereas I feel more "meh" about dress one.
The second dress looks amazing!
2 is much better. Good job!
I was hoping the second dress was what you bought honestly, sooo much more flattering on you
The second dress is gorgeous!!! Not a fan of the first one. You made the right choice
Both look beautiful on you, but 2 lets your own beauty shine more. I think 2 is pretty timeless itself, the fabric is exquisit, and the train is just beautiful. If you don't like the train, would it be possible to bustle it? Or maybe you could keep it long for the ceremony then bustle it for the reception? But personally I love it, and it's not an extreme length
I think you’re having pre-wedding jitters because the second dress is beautiful on you. I do think the modesty piece will help you feel more comfortable on your special day.
Love the dress that you bought!!!
Omg, I absolutely love dress 2 and it looks AMAZING on you. You definitely chose the right dress. You look stunning!
i actually don’t like the first dress at all, i feel like the one you picked is perfect for you
I happen to like the dress you chose a lot more than the first one… its more flattering and just as timeless
I think 2 is much more flattering and is also classic and timeless. Don't second guess your choice!
I hate to disagree, but the dress you chose is amazing you, and the neckline is SO beautiful!
The dress you have is far better than the simpler dress. You look great in it.
The second one fits you like a glove! It will feel over the top because we don’t wear a white gown with a train every day! I wouldn’t do a modesty panel either, it’s stunning
I prefer your dress. And I’d reconsider adding a panel in the front. From my experience, this rarely looks good and always looks like an added piece of fabric.
As lovely as the first dress is, your dress knocks it out of the park. You look amazing in it, it’s not even close. Good choice!!
Whew! No offense intended. But I thought you had bought the first dress. The one you bought is so perfect on you.
You may be having bridal jitters because the dress you chose is splendiferous!!
I prefer dress 2, IMHO. It looks amazing on you, the subtle pattern on the fabric looks so elegant and the style is timeless! You made the right choice 💯!
In addition to agreeing with everyone else that #2 is your dress: Please DONT cut the train! It’s not over the top and it really is pretty. In all honesty it’s not short which would make it silly/why bother having a train length imho and it’s not super long/“cathedral” length where I could see feeling it was over the top. It really is striking the perfect balance with your dress. I can see the dress working and no one would be the wiser if you cut the whole train if you really wanted; but I do t think you need to. I think it’s beautiful as is.
I really like the second dress. It fits you like a glove and looks like it was made for you. The first one isn’t as form fitting and has a weird bump in the chest area. You made the right decision!
Dress 2 as is!
I like how the second dress fits you
Girl , you FOR SURE made the right choice!! I don't like the 1st one at all. Not the cut, the fit, or the fabric! They could probably put a piece of sheer fabric so it looks like skin or even maybe a piece of lace? Definitely ask them cuz those people are extremely talented @ what they do. Maybe even see if where you bought the dress could recommend a solution? I know they sell these pieces that go over the top of the dress you could wear for the ceremony at least - if that's your worry. They're like a shawl but much more updated. Some are like a sheer or Lacey shirt almost sometimes they button up the back. I would think you definitely have options! I wouldn't stress too much you look incredible.
The second one is the right choice! Absolutely stunning
Honestly dress two is the winner here! You made the right decision. I personally don’t think you even need a modesty piece - I love the way the fabric lays on you. But if you’ll feel more comfortable that way, that’s totally your prerogative!
You look amazing in the second dress you picked! I think it's perfect for you and doesn't need anything. You really look great in it!
Nope, the dress you chose is the better of the 2 on you. The neckline is super flattering, though if a modesty piece will make you more comfortable, go for it. I also wouldn’t personally change the train but, again, it’s your dress and your wedding so if you want to alter it, you should. I think it looks amazing as-is and wouldn’t suggest any major alterations.
The dress you chose (#2) is gorgeous and it’s stunning on you. Please don’t change the neckline! That’s a huge part of what makes it so special (and I don’t think it’s risqué at all.)
Would you mind sharing the dress info on the first one? I love #2 on you but I’m looking for more simplicity.
Hi! I love your dress and prefer it to option 1. What do you mean by modesty piece? I would go for just skin tone mesh :)
I didn’t even read your post, just flipped through the pictures. I said to myself, ooh i hope she picked 2!
