I have recently lost some weight and don't know how to dress myself anymore Grin

It's my birthday and we are going out for a meal. Upmarket restaurant but afternoon not evening meal so going for dressy but not too dressed up IYSWIM. Which dress should I wear? Or are they all terrible?

They are all alright, I prefer the middle one.
Happy Birthday 🥳

You have a beautiful figure and look amazing! Well done on the weight loss Grin I like the second one for the occasion, I think the first one is nice but too high necked for you and looks more 'workwear'. The third one is ok. Enjoy!

Middle one!

You look great in all of them, but dress number 2 has the most pop.

ThousandsAreSailing · 02/08/2020 13:15

Middle one. I would like the first if it had a V or lower neck. I don't think the high neck enhances your figure, which is great by the way

riotlady · 02/08/2020 13:16

Middle one! The first is lovely on your figure but looks more like a work dress to me

Mumof1I · 02/08/2020 13:16

Number 1. Amazing figure, you look fantastic.

kezziethecat · 02/08/2020 13:17

I love 1 and 2 but would probably choose 2 for the occasion. Well done on the weight loss, you look lovely

Ginkypig · 02/08/2020 13:19

I like the shape of the first one on you but none of them are terrible.

None of them are particularly my taste but of course that is a separate issue as my taste is nothing to do ŵith your taste.

Another vote for 2 - and another agreement that 1 is fab round your waist but too high necked (although the inevitable selfie angle probably isn’t helping)

Ughmaybenot · 02/08/2020 13:21

My favourite is the middle one, but I also like the third dress as well. You have a cracking figure!

Xiaoxiong · 02/08/2020 13:21

You look amazing in the middle one, but as someone with boobs of a similar size I would probably safety pin the necklines of the middle and left ones up an inch or so as I have been known to have a whole bread roll's worth of crumbs disappear down my cleavage...!

Choppedupapple · 02/08/2020 13:23

You look amazing!!! In order for me is 2,1,3

INeedNewShoes · 02/08/2020 13:25

I wish I had your figure!

I'd go with dress 1 or 2. 2 is slightly more summery.

StarlightLady · 02/08/2020 13:26

On balance l would opt for the second one. I think the patrern works well and l would wear it.

Personally, Ibwould avoid any safety pins though, thet can push necklines out of line as opposed to having it sit naturally.

I think the neck is too high on the first one (better suited for the office) and the third has too much sleeve for a sumners day.

Enjoy your day.

Coorection - Summer’s day!

Monkeytapper · 02/08/2020 13:27

Blue flowery one

Atalune · 02/08/2020 13:27

Middle one.

GetTheStartyParted · 02/08/2020 13:28

Thank you! Blush I still have a couple of stone to lose but have lost almost 4.

The change in shape means that I am trying to learn what clothes I like and look nice in. Dresses 1 and 3 are hand me downs from by DSis, 2 is a size smaller than the others and one I treated myself to.

My DH likes the middle one too so it looks like the overall winner at the moment.

Thanks for all the lovely comments.

The dark blue and white floral dress looks lovely, and just right for an afternoon 'do'. Happy Birthday, and enjoy your meal!

bubblebubblebubbletrouble · 02/08/2020 13:29

2 but try sitting down it leaning forward to eat etc coz neckline is low on it.
You look great in all 3 though

Bluntness100 · 02/08/2020 13:30

I think thr third one is lovely, it’s great colours.

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 02/08/2020 13:32

Middle one. Love the floral pattern

GetTheStartyParted · 02/08/2020 13:33

Good point - I don't want to inadvertently flash other diners Grin

Well done! And Happy Birthday.
I think 3 as having the best colours. The camera angle is different but I’m thinking that’s why you look a bit bustier.
2 looks a bit casual - good if it’s by the beach or a smart outdoor pub. 1 is a bit over the top for the afternoon.
