To ask for party dress help?

I’m going to a party at a posh hotel next month. It’s not a dinner and dance event, more of a champagne, nibbles and a band type of thing.
Could you help me with my dress choice? I’ve ordered lots of dresses and narrowed it down to these three.
No 1. Looks nicer in real life and I’d wear it again
No 2. Needs a good iron so please ignore the creases.
No 3. I’d wear again but I’m not sure if it’s a bit young for me.
Do any look ok?

2 is lovely and I like your shoes - I love a heel but aM going for comfy far more often and I have funny feet too

  1. Enjoy

Number two. Neckline is nicer.
Number three maybe a little over powering ?

Thanks ... off I go to look on Asos!

Next do a range of lovely shoes called comfort or something similar. I tried some on the other day in their store and they are a mid high heel (I can't walk in high heels) and they were comfy!

Number 3 for me,

It's absolutely gorgeous and looks great on you

justchecking1 · 27/11/2019 17:39

Could you post a link to number 2 please OP? It's really lovely but I can't see it on the site

TheHootiestOwl · 27/11/2019 17:41

Number 2, but agree about different shoes.

PowerslidePanda · 27/11/2019 20:38

To the people looking for dress 2, I'm pretty sure it's this one:

www.asos.com/outrageous-fortune-petite/outrageous-fortune-petite-organza-tie-front-balloon-sleeve-mini-dress-in-black-polka-print/prd/13718044?clr=black&colourWayId=16560063&SearchQuery=polka%20dress

I wanted to buy it too, but it doesn't look as good here as it does on the OP and I'm not sure I could pull it off!

It looks a lot better on the model than it does on me.

No.2 really suits your shape, very flattering style. I think No.3 is bit young. The high neckline and straight skirt on No.1 isn't as good on you as No.2.

Myshitisreal · 28/11/2019 02:39

2 shape is better with the different skirt shape and the neckline. I like 3 but I like prints- it's kind of a bit hard to make out the shape . I would wear 3 with chunky boots but then I'm not so classy 😂 Oh and yes op,the dress looks much better on you than on the website! 😍

MarilynMorose · 28/11/2019 02:53

Even though you’ve said you’re going with 2..... 2!!

It looks fabulous on you - have a lovely time!

  1. Smart and sophisticated
  2. Too much going on
  3. Didnt know where to focus.
