Second one. I prefer it and it flatters you more. I think the cut round the arms and the length of the first is unflattering.

They both suit your figure.

The navy one. It's more glam sophisticated and elegant and easier to accessorize

Navy for me too.

Whereabouts in Italy is the wedding? (Has no bearing on the question, I'm just nosy)

The navy one looks more suited to a wedding although I think it would look better with different shoes. Some slingbacks perhaps, something without an ankle strap.

Definitely the navy one. Much more sophisticated, although needs different shoes.

Almost unanimous!

I like them both but feel like the navy one is more sophisticated. Problem is it cost 140 and I really need the money so was going to bring it back. Now I want to keep it!!

Definitely navy. Both are lovely but the navy one is much dressier. Have a wonderful time!

Thank you everyone! Especially you Dorothy

Think I'm going to have to take the hit on my bank balance and go with the navy. The coloured one is lovely but more casual I think. I have a beautiful pearly clutch bag to go with it. Will look in back of wardrobe for different shoes. Want to get a fan too I think it'd be a nice touch? Maybe a white one? What do you think?

Op. I think it would look better slightly shorter. Why not have another look around. All the sales are on.

That's a lot of money if money is tight. You have a lovely figure. Try something more fitted.

I thought you already had the dress.

I did buy both dresses. I've had an absolute nightmare with shopping, I'm all shopped out I think. Thoroughly sick of it. Maybe I could get the navy one altered so it's a bit shorter? I do agree it's not a great length on me. Also I was avoiding something fitted as it's going to be hot and I don't want to feel restricted.
