Which colour dress? Help!

Help me choose which colour of this dress I should wear to a friend's wedding! I've got the dress in two colours and they both fit really well. It'll be my first big social event since having a baby, I've put on a bit of weight, and I'm usually pretty frumpy and unattractive. But this dress was the first thing I've worn in ages where I actually felt pretty yes, I'm pathetic

I love the light blue, but I worry that it looks too bridesmaidy iykwim?

The green looks lovely too but is it too dark for a wedding?

What is your colouring? Pale blue can wash out some fairer skin tones, unless you get a really good tan. I am a ginger, with a yellower tone and that colour would wash me out completely, so would go with the green. But my sister who tans beautifully and is golden blonde would suit the blue.

The blue does look more bridesmaidy though.

I'm ginger and have pale skin.

Hmm, green is probably the better bet then.

Green looks more slimming too

Green with ginger hair!

Green. It's beautiful and will look lovely with your hair colour.

Green with ginger for sure! Also more forgiving in a darker colour.

BusyEvenForBee · 18/07/2019 11:47

Green will look beautiful with ginger hair! Blue is quite light, a bit close to bridal look.
Enjoy the wedding!

Team green all the way. What an amazing dress. Have a lovely day.

TokyoSushi · 18/07/2019 11:51

Definitely green!

Loyaultemelie · 18/07/2019 12:44

Green is absolutely gorgeous

Family143 · 18/07/2019 12:47

With your colouring I'd definitely say green.
Being a little cheeky but that's a lovely dress. Is there any chance of you posting a link please?

VenusClapTrap · 18/07/2019 12:51

I love the green. The pale blue will show every mark, too

justilou1 · 18/07/2019 13:04

I love the green!!! It’s much more sophisticated. The blue is a bit debutante.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 18/07/2019 13:40

The green is more elegant and will suit your colouring.

JammyGem · 18/07/2019 13:46

Looks like it's unanimously green!

Definitely the green. A startling beautiful colour, especially with ginger hair.

Thanks for the link too :)
