Tell me what to wear for DS's naming day!

[Pootles2010]

So DS's naming day is end of May. I'm not normally bothered about what I wear really so bit clueless. I'm short, 5ft2, with rather large chest, so quite hard to find clothes that look good. About size 12/14 overall, and am 26 if that makes any difference.

I really would like to look nice for this one day. We've spent quite a bit because we want it to be really nice, and I'd like to look the part! Its registry office then medieval hall for afternoon tea, which will finish about 5 so only a day thing.

I found this and also this.

I like both, I love the tulip skirt on second one, but also the little sleeves on the first one - my arms aren't huge but i don't love them!

Please help me! TIA

Bump! Please help me, i don't want to look like the bag lady.

The first one.You'll get a lot of wear out of it, that's a go anywhere dress.

I prefer the shape of the second one but wonder if it isn't a tad too short? That's my own bias though as I prefer to wear prom style on the knee rather than above :)

I thought that tulpe but actually looking at the lengths on website it is only 1 cm shorter. Plus I'm short arse, those models are bound to be all leggy and so on me it might be alright? This is why I hate buying stuff you can't try on grrr

agree about leggy models so if I were you I would order the second one :)

You can also dress it down for every day with a cardi and flip flops/ballet pumps.

I think they are both lovely but really really like the second one.

Not sure tbh.
I like them both but I don't think they are appropiate for a naming day tbh.

Why what's wrong with them for a naming day ?
I had a full outfit from blooming country casuals including hat for my DD's naming day, I was 29 and looked like a mother of the bride, much prefer your choices OP.

Tell me why upahill you may well be right i just need guidance! I can't wear anything long because i'm short, i thought both looked quite 'modest'. Maybe not dressy enough?

Like I said I like them both (very much, in fact I'm quite tempted to get the credit card out!!)

Maybe the first one would be suitable but I feel the second one is more of a summer night out one IYSWIM

I like the first one.

Thank you too for introducing me to Pepperberry - I have found an evening dress I love and in super curvy I think I will just buy in my normal size and see if it fits my boobs!

Its quite good isn't it blueberry! If slightly limited range. Would lovelovelove it if we got one near here - I'm in York so nearest one is in Newcastle - bit unrealistic.

Thanks everyone for replying - I think I will go with second one. I really like it, and think I would feel good in it.

I fancied the first one for myself but I'm bothered that if it is strectch it might highlight my hips. (which is not a good thing!)
