Fickle fickle minded me, which one is the fairest of them all?

I had 2nd thoughts abt my wedding gown & requested to take a look at other gowns that Dang had. I don't know why i have 2nd thoughts but after wearing the gown for the photoshoot, it just wasn't ME anymore. I think it's becoz of the built-in corset that kinda pumped up the boobs, and boy, i couldn't see the ground when i looked down, just flesh... It made me so uncomfortable and i can't imagine wearing it for the actual day.

This one is an empire-line, with a neckline similar to the earlier one i chose. The size is way to big and alterations are required to give it a good fit. But i like the vertical lace trimmings and think they lengthen the body, hence flattering the upper torso & waist area.
This other gown is rather vintage, with 3/4 sleeves & kinda "all-wrapped up". This one is a little too tight so alterations are needed to loose the bust area so yes, it looks rather unshaply in the 2nd pix. I thought this gown is rather unique, considering that i already have bustier and V-neckline evening gowns. Hmm, but does it look too conservative? I like it becoz of it's vintage feel and for the fact that it adds a different dimension to the usual wedding gowns. But i can't seem to make up my mind. Errrm, think i am only allowed to change once so how?? Which should i pick?

*** I welcome comments!!!

i like ur original gown. Can they put lace at the front so that ur boobs are not so glaring?

The empire cut one is too close to ur original...no pt... and ur original gown is really pretty.

And the vintage one. You're right! Can't really see the potential at the moment cos it's not a good fit.

But if it's between empire cut or vintage.... i'd say go vintage all the way. Have you thought of a full vintage lace veil (long one) to go with it? will complete the vintage look.

But see if they can do anything to the front of ur orignal gown first, k? cos it's really pretty... and just once in a lifetime... :)

Hey, thx for the advice. Haiz, CY also ask me to consider the original but errm, i duno why the heart is no longer there with the earlier one. In fact, the chose the empire cut becoz of its similarity to the original. I cna't carry off a full length veil coz i don't have church & it'd be a hassle havin that dragging along the floor.
