posting here for more traffic…no real AIBU I suppose…
I’m 5,2ish and a size 10, brunette. Age 39.
I Have two weddings in October and I’m thinking of this dress but I’m unsure which colour. Which do you think?
1 wedding is in a farm with barn conversion. And the other is a hotel wedding.

I wanted to avoid ordering both, but I might have to. Thank you all

I would order both and see which looks better and return the other one

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 01/09/2024 16:12

They are both really nice.

Saying brunette doesn’t help know which would suit you best - do you know if your skin/ hair/ eye tone is more warm or cool? The rust colour will suit you better if it’s warm and the green if cool.

Ive got dark hair and dark eyes and people think warm/ autumn colours like the rust dress will suit me but they don’t, even now with highlights in my hair, because my skin has a cool shade (even though olive). So I’d go for the green but which people might think was for blondes.

Green

How is a new look dress that price?!?

Ilovelurchers · 01/09/2024 16:11

The green looks more "fancy" and dressed up to me, so better for a wedding. Both colours are nice.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/09/2024 16:10

The green is a nicer colour.
But the reddish one would be good if you're likely to get red wine spilt on it.Grin

Green.

I very nearly bought that dress for a wedding in May. Love it.

Oooh tricky one! I'd say go with the green and accessorise with gold or bronze for the hotel wedding.

Skyrainlight · 01/09/2024 15:39

Both dresses are gorgeous, I prefer the green but if I was you I would order both see which suits best and return one.

What type of brunette are you? Irish or Italian? For the first green for the second brown.

Irish but my skin isn’t too white i suppose

The brown is horrible and bleugh. Def the green.

RacingDriver · 01/09/2024 15:28

I ordered the green one for a wedding in the summer - it’s lovely but much more sheer than I was expecting and felt more like a holiday evening / beach wedding dress than for one in the UK. Might have just been me (I’m larger than you) but thought I’d mention it in case you wanted to consider other options too.

Oldraver · 01/09/2024 15:27

Or order both and see what suits you best with your hair not brown

Oldraver · 01/09/2024 15:27

Green, the brown is so dull

Durdledore · 01/09/2024 15:26

They’re both nice <helpful 😂>

Do you have the funds to order both and have a try on to see which jumps out at you once you have the colour on your actual self?

Oakcupboard · 01/09/2024 15:26

I really like both …so I’m no help sorry lol. But I think green would make brunette hair pop

Green is far nicer and will be easier to accessorise.

If you post this in Style & Beauty you'd get plenty of responses.

I did…I’m just impatient as I need to order in a while. 🤣
