I'm thinking about getting one of these dresses for Anneliese. Both of them have a matching dress for Ella Paige if I decide she *needs* one too. Which do you like better?

Oh, that's a tough decision! I just ordered the baby version of the top one for a somewhat casual wedding that we're going to in August. I was thinking that for August in New England we'll likely want no sleeves.

Is it for an occasion where you can make a call like that? Otherwise they are so similar in style; I like how vibrant the Hanna colors are but I think the more muted blue on the second dress would be just gorgeous on your DDs.

Sorry I'm no help!

Best,
Mary

Oh, oh, oh! I LOVE the 2nd one!!! It is so beautiful! I think it would look just gorgeous on A! :) The prints on the Hanna one are lovely, too, but I just don't like the dropped waist. I like the baby version of the Hanna a lot more. Is the 2nd one from April Cornell?

ETA: I found it on the April Cornell site. Did you see the matching hat? :D

Both are gorgeous, but I especially like dress #2. I saw dress #1 IRL last year and didn't get it because it seemed not as vibrant of a print IRL. It is still adorable, but I couldn't bring myself to buy it.

I like both dresses a lot, and may even get the Three Sisters baby dress for Ava, but I'm voting for #2. I think the PPs are right that the more vibrant colors would look better on your DDs, especially A. The blue on top will especially flatter her! And EP would look adorable in a matching version if you decide to get one.

Did you see the post on GR with the April Cornell code? Might help a little :)

Definitely #2 GMV!!! I like the 3 sister's dress...but like someone else said..I'm not over the moon about it and don't really understand the craze!! LOL!

The second one is beautiful! I'm a big 'tiered' dress fan anyway...my girls are wearing the Baby Lulu Morning Glory tiered dress from last year for easter...and I've been on a tiered dress hunt lately!! My poor girls!

Go with #2! Or...do what I do...get both, see them IRL, try them on Annelise and then decide and return one!

In any case, let us know what you decide!

I knew I could count on you!! #2 it is!! That is the one that I was leaning toward anyway, but I started doubting myself and decided to ask all of you :-) .

I just ordered it. I can't wait to see it IRL!! I didn't order one for EP, but I might later. I always seem to have soooo many choices for Ella Paige and not as many for Anneliese, so I have to fight the urge to order every dress I see for EP. However, if I *love* this dress, I might just have to get a matching one for her. We'll see.

Thanks again!

Marie, I am just now seeing your post. Definitely #2! It is gorgeous! I never got what the big deal was either with the three sisters dress. Just never really grabbed me. But that AC dress is stunning! I can't wait to see pictures of Miss A in it! :)

I like the second one. My local boutique has it on clearance for 1/2 off and they had it in I think a 2 and a 5/6. Too bad my oldest needs a 7 or I would've bought it. :(

I'm just getting to this post. I'm so glad you went with #2 because that one got my vote too. Can't wait to see it on A. :)
