Well after my post yesterday I thought I was sorted for a hen night. My Oh came back from working away and says that the dress doesnt suit my shape! (hes no Gok Wan)
So I need some help, I have two other dresses from previous occassions in my wardrobe.
(excuse the messy room - 17yr old teenager)!

Personally, I wouldn't wear a maxi dress for a hen night. I like both the floral and the pale coloured one. The pale colour one looks the most flattering!

The long one really shows off your lovely figure but might be a bit fussy for a hen? I'd go with the plain one. But.... Sometimes the bride is in a very light colour do you know?

I like the pale one best sorry. However, the floral one still looks nice.

Pale dress first, looks really good, then maxi dress.

I can't see the light one , maxi too casual .. TT floral one a bit floral for me for a hen night ..Haven't you got a plainer one ?

Do you have to wear a dress? The pale one is nicest, I think, but is there a reason you can't wear nice trousers and top if that's what you prefer?

Everyone is going in dresses! So I think I would feel strange in trousers. I havnt been on a hen night for years so forgot what people wear!

I prefer the pale one, but you say hen night... Is it actually in the day? All dresses look like daywear to me :/

Definitely pale dress with the shoes not the sandals. Looks really flattering.

Thanks cindyrella, I was just trying the shoes. Have some nice gold ones now.
Karcheer, its day and night, if you have anymore suggestions then more than happy to look!

The maxi dress is the most flattering on your (rather nice!) figure.

The others look a bit work-like to me.

The long dress really shows off your hourglass shape but I like the pale one too. Please try to find some matching shoes though Wink
