Please help me decide between these 2 dress for a (fairly smart) Sunday Wedding

(16 Posts)
Chantelle Dress

this style but in a burnt orange shade with black ribbon

Both colours are good on me (brown hair/brown eyes), just not sure which style is best suited.

Bride & groom, are late 20's, so assuming a younger (18 years) than me crowd.
I found the TB dress in their Cov Gdn shop but they didn't have my size, tracked in down in Peter Jones

I never saw the pink ones

no worries smile

The Ted Baker dress is lovely, it's very light - I didn't see it in blue - did you get it in John Lewis ?

I did see this gorgeous dress though blue silk from Planet, similar style - for £99. Didn't have my size though. I'm loving these styles grin
Sorry I missed that the 2nd one was a diff colour blush

I am waiting for the same Ted Baker dress to arrive - I bought it in blue

thank you for your input.

Just given DH & DD's a fashion show - there was another dress Ted Baker Waterfall as well, but in the cold (hot?) light of day, dress 1 is the winner. Although feeling a bit snug after a dessert of strawberries & cream blush.

Dress 2 is lovely, but too shiny, I'm not tall/vampy enough to carry it off, although I did think it looked nice in the shop - clever mirrors/lighting methinks.

the second dress is lovely and I think if you keep everything else simple then it will be fine for a wedding

I like the second one - think its fine for a wedding any time of day.

the purple one is also in the sale.

The second dress isn't blue, it's brick red with a black sash - I couldn't find a picture of it in the colour I have !

I love the Chantelle dress - tried it on in black a few weeks ago and v flattering. Off topic - but where has the black one gone from the website????!!!! Was it in the sale too and sold out? (I've been away for a couple of weeks!) Was thinking of treating myself!

I prefer the second one.... keep everything else understated with it?

Both nice but I think the first one (pink) is more suitable for a wedding.
