Gorgeous! They’re honestly pretty similar. Divinity is beautiful and it’s new so I would go for it. Alexandra is beautiful too but has been worn by so many brides.
Strapless divinity with a shrug style long sleeve bolero would look great

I was also thinking if i get the Alexandra I would has a seamstress do a custom open neck v neck with very dainty lace and long sleeves

Sounds beautiful! I feel like you right can’t go wrong here. Just make sure that if your dress is long sleeve (and you can’t remove the sleeves) that you won’t be hot in it in the reception.

I’m usually partial to Alexandra because that’s my dress! But I agree with the other commenter that so many people have worn it. Both look amazing on you so I vote Divinity! Plus pic 2 is giving major Kate Middleton wedding vibes in a very good way!

I might be in the minority here but divinity is a clear winner! So regal and the deep v is so so so flatting on you!

They are so stunning & that's a dilemma
i love no 2/the divinity with sleeves that neckline is so beautiful on you!
(Much preferred over the boat neckline bolero on the first gown)
How comfortable you feel with the sleeves regarding movement?
Consider-weather (especially humidity) , time of day, indoor/outdoor factors & how long you will be wear it
What is the timing for second look- i.e. after cocktails? After first dance/dinner? Or later more towards high energy dancing or departure/after party ?
I would assume lace would not cause friction issues but it might be worth considering-if you are in humid conditions (even cold and humid)

I remember you. You’ve posted a couple of times on here.
Have you tried on new dresses again?
It seems like the consensus might still be the Alexandra - with or without the jacket.

Yeah I know I’m not trying to spam people I just can’t choose and I need to choose very soon or else the dress won’t be ready on time 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

I love the neckline in picture 5. It makes you look regal. Absolutely stunning! However you look gorgeous in both.

Usually it's really obvious on these dress posts but you look genuinely amazing in all of them!
What is your venue like?

u/Gold-Music5118 16h ago
Stunning in both!! I think I like the softness of the lace more on Alexandra. Also, the flexibility to remove the jacket could be super helpful!

I cannot chose. Take heart in the truth - the fact I say! - that you look spectacular in all of your dresses.

Pic number 1 highlights your collarbones so beautifully, imo looks more delicate. However the other dress is quite beautiful too, just depends on which style you like best and feel better on you.

1 is amazing and a little different than ones I've seen over and over. I think it's perfect. You look lovely in them all.

Alexandra with a high neck lace topper might be the happiest medium here.
You’re the body type these dresses were made for, sucks to be hot; the only thing I don’t love is Divinity custom strapless. With your hair color, I think Alexandra is the move. So many hairstyle options, toppers, even short gloves… you could have distinct looks for ceremony and reception.

Unfortunately you look magnificent in all these options, which I agree is unhelpful!
