I have a wedding to attend on Sunday, I’ve decided I don’t like dress plan A or B. This is now plan C.

AIBU to wear this dress? Is it too close to white?

You have to show us A and B!

highlandcoo · 02/08/2019 00:56

Definitely not too close to white.

Would you like to show us choices A and B too?

BurntOut1 · 02/08/2019 01:08

Sure! A and B here. A was the dress I bought especially, but I think it just clings to my belly in the wrong places. B might be too short. Agh! So full of doubt, I hate dressing up.

I’m also on a new clothes ban in 2019, so these are all charity shop/eBay finds, making it harder!

I think the first one looks great and I'd wear it. With red sandals and a red clutch.

steff13 · 02/08/2019 01:13

The grey lace one, I feel like I can see the outline of your underwear, and I think the long sleeved one is a bit short. it doesn't look bad but I think I would feel self-conscious about it and be tugging at it all night.

tryingtobebetterallthetime · 02/08/2019 01:18

Definitely the first one. Not too white at all and is the most flattering. Number 3 I agree is a bit short for you to relax. The grey is a fairly drab colour for a summer wedding.

I like B it’s lovely on you

UtterlyPerfectCartoonGiraffe · 02/08/2019 01:35

I love B on you, you have lovely legs!

TwoShades1 · 02/08/2019 01:42

B or C. Personally I prefer B as the colours and print are more what I would choose. C. Fits you nicely and definitely isn’t too white. I think A the lace dress just doesn’t fit you as well and makes you look a bit “old”.

You have a beautiful figure. You could sport any of them easily.
Have you got shoes and handbags to mix.
Something really out there with no2 would look great.
Summer colours.

What sort of heels are you thinking?
stern look for lacking confidence
You'll look fabulous Flowers

TimeWastingButFun · 02/08/2019 02:00

I'd go for the first dress, dress it up with high heels, it isn't too white at all.

managedmis · 02/08/2019 02:02

First dress

Great floorboards

Belatedly coming back to say if I looked like you in any of those dresses id be delighted! And they are all suitable, as a fellow wedding guest I would just think well done you!

sheshootssheimplores · 02/08/2019 12:42

I like C. I think with heels and your hair and make up done that would look lovely!

Allthef3els1 · 02/08/2019 12:45

Grey lace one looks lovely xxx

Hadjab · 02/08/2019 12:48

The third dress, the other two are nice but a bit meh

SallyWD · 02/08/2019 12:49

I love C. Not too close to White at all.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 02/08/2019 12:50

I think 'B' looks absolutely gorgeous.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 02/08/2019 12:50

Sorry - I meant 'C'! The blue, flower-print one. Flattering fit, lovely print and I like the sleeves,

StCharlotte · 02/08/2019 12:52

They're all nice but I really love dress C. This may sound bizarre (as I obviously can't see your face) but it takes years off you!

BurntOut1 · 02/08/2019 18:16

Thanks so much all of you, really appreciate the kind comments! I think C probably wins it xx

B is my favourite, followed by C

purplelila2 · 02/08/2019 19:03

First one looks lovely

NoBaggyPants · 02/08/2019 19:18

You can dress A up. It's a nice dress and suits your lovely figure.

Dress B is a bit old bridesmaid.

Dress C looks polyester and cheap. It doesn't do you justice at all.
