Answer 1

I'm sorry, but you should absolutely, positively, 100%, under NO circumstances wear the first dress. It only comes in one color, and that color is too close to what the bride will (presumably) be wearing! No, no, no.

The second one is fine, I guess, as long as you're a grown-up and it comes in your size (I saw that only two sizes were available - 0 and 10). It is a little flashy, though, and you might wind up upstaging your sister. You don't have to wear a potato sack or anything, but this might be a little too va-va-va-voom. I would only wear a dress like this to the wedding of a bride I really, really hated.

I don't mean to be unkind, but the day isn't about you and what you're wearing. If you have any doubts about what's appropriate, you should really ask your sister.

You should also consider that #2 is the kind of dress for which fit is extremely important - if you've got a short/long torso, measurements that aren't exactly proportional, etc., this dress might not look right on you. I wouldn't buy it online. If your sister doesn't have a problem with something this flashy/ fitted/ whatever, you should probably stick to something you can try on in person. Otherwise, buy it a size too big and plan to have it tailored.

Answer 2

The second dress would be my personal choice, it is lovely. The color would be nice for a wedding as well. Number one is cute too, but it may be better to get a different color. Some people/brides don't like it when another girl wears white or cream to their wedding.

Answer 3

Depending on your age. Depending on your family and if you are trying to divert attention away from your sister. This is HER wedding day. But either one are very pretty. I'd go with the 1st one for the wedding and if you guys are going out after hours to party (without gma and Aunt Marie) wear the red one.
Ask your sister what she thinks, total honest opinion. And be compromising, it is her wedding.
No one asked me about my dress to a wedding, and I hated it. I wouldnt wear it to a strip club. It was so hoochie for a wedding. Most of my family disapproved and it was embarrassing

Answer 4

From a man's perspective I would choose dress number two I think it looks more like a dress for a woman and would look better for a wedding I think the first one would be more for a day shower or tea party.

Answer 5

I would go w/ number 2. Number 1 is cute but number 2 looks more wedding-ish to me

Answer 6

I like the style of #1 better, but you might want a different color otherwise you'd be competing with your sister at the wedding. If that's the only color it comes in, go with #2.

Answer 7

#1. #2 is too skimpy for a wedding, especially your sisters. It also depends how old you are. Maybe you could stick with the idea of "not so flashy" in some "areas" and get another one with a different color or "vibe" to it.

Answer 8

Go with number 2.

Answer 9

i have to differ from the other posters....as pretty as #2 is i believe it is too revealing (lace under bodice is see through) for a wedding...even night time. #1 is very pretty, however the color is a little too close to the brides shades...same style different color....looks more like a day dress too.....

Answer 10

Both are good, but which one you actually wear depends on the location and time of the wedding, maybe add that to your details. Lighter one for day/summer/spring/outdoors....darker one for night/winter/fall/...
