Christmas party dress - help me choose please

[itcamefrombeckyvardyself]

Hi all

Which dress do you like best for tonight. It's a glam up affair.

I'm 5'6, size 14-16 with a big bust.

I'm not brave enough for a pic of me in either but here are the dresses.

The black one I've had altered so the inner black skirt is midi length.

TIA

Can’t say unless you post pics of yourself in them!! First one is very glam, not sure with a big bust though, might be a bit much?
Like the idea of the second one being midi length on the underskirt, is it stretch fabric so it hugs your figure or akin though? As that’s make a huge difference!

First one is very glam, does the occasion match it ?

Both beautiful dresses I think a lot depends how confident you are, I personally think the first dress is less forgiving and less flattering than the second but if you feel amazing in it then go for it!

Oh the first one is beautiful! That one without a doubt.

@Hellbentwellwent yes it's clingy and hugs the skin. I have Spanx though so I'm not worried about wobbly bits.

I will try them both on in a bit and if I'm confident add some pics.

Everyone I have spoke to has said they are glamming up.

I like them both. I got them both brand new with tags from eBay at a right steal. I never get a chance to glam up!

Definately the first one

The first one, without any doubt

The first one looks more modern. Are you an hourglass shape?

The first one is lovely and Art Deco, not sure that works with big boobs though, difficult to say as it’s shown on a small boobed and v slim model

The second one. First one looks a bit cruise ship. I think you'll wear the second one more than once, and it's more modern in style.

Probably the second one although I’m struggling to visualise the alterations you’ve made. Glamming up could mean anything so I wouldn’t wear the first unless the dress code explicitly states black tie.

The second one will be more flattering. I'd wear the first full length one only to specific occasions, so not if you're out partying (for example).

@Expressedways so the black skirt part that is thigh level, that's now knee length.

The black one is much nicer for a party.

I think that at 5'6'' you're too short for the long one.

Show us both on you-we can't decide otherwise

First one!

I think that at 5'6'' you're too short for the long one

I actually disagree with this. Heels can work wonders for your height not to mention how confident you feel.
I actually like both. The first is very red carpet. The second is very sexy.

if its a glam do the first one definitely the second one is nice but safe more like a night out on the town dress

Def the second!

Ended up wearing the second one. Sent DH the bar to see how dressy it was and he said dress 2.

Paying for it now I feel awful.

Did he make the right decision for you?

He did he's a keeper

Hope you had a good night, I’m sure you looked great in the dress! And your DH truly is a gem to go check out the crowd for you.

Brilliant 😀
