Now I'm not sure I want it to arrive because how could you ever choose between them...</p> <p>Stunning bride for sure!</p> <p>Joy, thank you for the mention of the spanx sizing up. I just may try that for my niece's wedding and my dress. I normally find control top pantyhose too much so maybe sizing up in spanx will work. Brililant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405713 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:12:07 +0000 cjh 405713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So lovely!

It totally says "bride," but in a super-unfussy, beautifully Rae way!!!</p> <p>*happy sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405682 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:22:13 +0000 rachylou 405682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I think this dress is so true to your vision. And you're a vision!</p> <p>(The 6 with minor alteration?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405681 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:21:17 +0000 rae 405681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the help and opinions, everyone! </p> <p>I will post more pictures after wearing/stretching it more, probably when I can compare with the other dress. I'm thinking the 6 might be a mistake now that I know the dress bags out with wear...</p> <p>Angie, I have to admit that the stripey dress is the first to make my heart pitter-patter... I will still give the one-shoulder dress a chance, though. It should arrive any day now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405680 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:11:52 +0000 Debbie 405680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful!

Looking forward to comparing to the one-shouldered dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405670 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:57:21 +0000 Diana 405670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! A top contender to be sure. I think the 6 fits the best, but the 4 is fine too. Just a subtle difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405668 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:56:49 +0000 rute 405668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Love your dress! You look gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /> 6 fits you perfect! 4 will be lovely also with shape wear! I would wear shape wear with both sizes because I would want to be perfect in ANY photo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405660 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:46:44 +0000 Queen Mum 405660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>stunning! to me, the 6 is a perfect fit and I dont' even see that you need shapewear with that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405620 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 14:38:35 +0000 Anonymous 405620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is beautiful on you! I'd suggest a Spanx (or Target Assets by same designer but less expensive) in a size or two larger than what you'd ordinarily wear. You get the smoothing and some shaping without the tight discomfort. You will be a beautiful bride no matter what you wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405616 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 14:34:50 +0000 Jonesy 405616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how exciting!! You look wonderful! Like a bride but also really like *you*! Re. size: sounds like you have a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405611 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 14:20:25 +0000 Sparky 405611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, how do you feel about the sizes now that you've had a chance to sleep on it? The size 6 looks perfect to me. Angie mentioned the neck of the bodice ~ does it fit as smoothly as it does in the size 4? I was thinking it was just your raised arm for picture taking that made it gape just a teeny bit.</p> <p>I have to say, I love this dress on you. Talk about smashing! It's really a perfect style for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405592 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:46:57 +0000 Angie 405592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely dress! The larger size is better I think (might need bodice neck alteration). Do you prefer it to the one-shoulder gown? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405591 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:43:27 +0000 bella 405591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look amazing!<br /> I am with Una on this one. I can't see a difference between 2 and 4 and so it's about how you feel. I am sure it will give in more if you keep wearing it around the house a bit more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405567 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:09:42 +0000 Anonymous 405567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your fiance is going to faint when he sees you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405565 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:05:36 +0000 Carole 405565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this dress party, but had to chime in to say "Gorgeous"! my initial reaction was the 6 looked best to my eye, with all the tiers laying nicely, but the 4 looked nice too. What feels "right" to you is the most important thing, if the 6 doesn't feel too big I would go with that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405562 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:00:02 +0000 Suz 405562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Rae, that dress is GORGEOUS on you!! </p> <p>I absolutely love it. </p> <p>(And I am a fan of that one-shouldered dress, too, so this is going to be a tough choice!) </p> <p>SO glad you went with your gut and went back to do more shopping! </p> <p>As far as size goes, I really can't say for sure. I agree with you about the nipped in waist of the 4, and figure if it is comfortable for you, why not? But you do need to be comfortable, so if the 6 is better, maybe you should go with it? </p> <p>Oh well. At least you can rule out the 8! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405559 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 12:40:58 +0000 Sona 405559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is beautiful. You look radiant in it. I like the six on you too. Maybe you should take pctures of yourself sitting and doing different things in both the 4 and 6 to help you decide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405556 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 12:14:40 +0000 Fruitful 405556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure which size you should get but this dress is so you, you have to wear one. It's so gorgeous on you and the stripes sass it up too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405553 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:53:25 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 405553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! What a dress!</p> <p>To my eye the 6 looks the best, but you've got a few more hours and Angie should chime in soon with luck! I'd try the 4 with the spanx (not because I think you need it but because you'll feel better if you've checked all the options). Trust yourself and have another look for the spanx - it may be where it should be all the time but you've panicked and can't see it. I have done that before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405551 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:45:22 +0000 anora 405551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The stripy dress is very beautiful. It look very decent and cool. The color is very beautiful also my favorite all time.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405545 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:32:49 +0000 Di 405545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! The 6 looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405482 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 06:10:14 +0000 Aida 405482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH MY, you look gorgeous in this dress If the one-shoulder fits I'm going to have a HARD time trying to decide so I really hope you'll be able to tell which you love more! To me the 6 looks the best and seriously, needs NO shapewear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405469 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 05:27:19 +0000 Vani 405469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh My Gosh, Rae you look SOOOOOO beautiful, utterly gorgeous. 6 looks PERFECT!

It seems to be perfect. FWIW the 6 look perfect to my eye. Are you worried about straining the zipper on the other size? That would be my only concern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-hunt-round-2-the-stripey-dress/page/2#post-405420 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 03:50:07 +0000 catgirl 405420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good because I love it too!
