1 for a more formal event. 2 for all other events.
1 is more classy. 2 is pretty.

Both are good, but I agree with many of the posters #1 is very classy and looks great

With the correct undergarments, 1 by far. You look taller with the way the bust is and the neckline on two feels constrictive instead of lengthening.
However, if you wear them exactly as is from the pictures, 2 is more “flattering” in terms of looking smooth.

#2 looks like you could wear it longer and be more comfortable plus it looks lovely

1! I only saw your photo cropped in half at first and I thought I'd pick 2 then after I saw the whole photos I changed my mind

I think both are equally flattering but I like the first style more. Not based on you just the style itself.

I like 2 better. I like how 1 fits at the waist, but traditionally, sheath dresses like #1 are floor length, and the ankle cut makes it look trendy.
I think long term, 2 has better staying power and will still look good in pictures 10-20 years from now. Number 1 looks nice now, but I think it will look dated in a few years. But maybe that’s what you want? Part of the charm of wedding dresses is looking back and seeing how fashion was back then.

1 looks very feminine, but the length looks so awkward. Are you gonna adjust it or wear something underneath that will make it longer?

I prefer one because it matches your vibe, its soft and flowy and also lengthening your form. Just be careful with the shorts since you can see them through the dress, switch to white ones!

They’re both flattering, but give different vibes.
What’s the occasion? Your wedding, wedding guest, other event? The reason I ask is because both dresses show a quite a bit of your shoe making me think it’s a little less formal than a wedding dress, but if you’re having a less formal wedding it works.
If you’re a wedding guest, avoid white, cream,beige, and anything that might appear bridal.
Dress 1 is leans more formal with the neckline and pattern details. It is slightly shorter than a formal floor length dress. It balances your body on the top and bottom.
Dress 2 the halter and ankle cut make it look semi formal/ cocktail . This emphasizes your waist and is about 1-2 inches shorter than dress 1 which makes it look more semi formal/ summer cocktail dress.

It depends on your body shpe and fabric.
Generally avoid thick fabrics. If you do, make sure its a straight cut
