Help me pick which dress

[moomiemoo]

Need something that will do for an evening reception, all day wedding and a posh daytime party - all in June.

This is my shortlist
this
this
or this

Any other suggestions would be great too. Bit more info if you need it - 5'3", like my legs, don't like upper arms and have a bit of a tummy that my Spanx will probably sort out

Oh they're all gorgeous!!! I think number 3 would be my choice.

I think 1 and 3 are more wedding-ish and 3 is so different. I love it.

You've got to have bloody good legs for number 3, I've never said this but that one genuinely looks like she's forgotten her trousers. Oh hell, am sounding like my Dad. [cshock]

I like both of the others.

Sorry, just seen that you are quite petite with good legs - so number 3 is still a contender then [cgrin]

That design on no. 3 is a bit curtain like for me.
1 at a push but I think there are far nicer dresses about.

They're all beautiful but I love the 2nd one. I love it so much infact that I want one

Number 3

Yes I am a short arse petite so even smock tops end up looking conservative when I wear them. [cgrin]

I really like 3 but also worried that it's a bit short so I might have to order them all just to try them on at home and then maybe keep just one [cwink]

moondog - happy to find a much nicer dress - any suggestions?

I love the second one, wouldn't suit me as I can't wear that flesh colour, but if it's ok with your colouring then it's really pretty.

If you are short, i think floaty smocky things things make you look shorter.
How about something more structured?
A shift dress?
I love a good shift dress, me.

What think ye?

number 2 if it suits your tone.

hmm...not really my style moondog but get your point about something more structured so will bear it in mind.

Am hoping to get away with floatier dress by wearing high heels?

oohh.... how about

this

Sorry op but I think both moondogs choices are much nicer than your original ones. You sound as if you have an lovely figure so why drown it in swathes of material?. I agree-get your legs out but go for something more fitted(and if weddings june then perhaps more summery colours?).

Floatier?

Also floaty

I like this. V. retro

That Coast one would look amazing on someone with great,tanned legs

How funny Moomie!
It's lovely, that one

That Kaliko one is stunning! I also adore the Derhy one, thinking I may buy it for myself!

I agree crystal and have ordered both

The Derhy one is gorgeous.

The Ted Baker birdcage print is absolutely gorgeous (I keep going and drooling over the print in store!) but I'm not sure about the style tbh - I think it's for a tall, leggy, straight up and down type of figure. They also do it in a maxi dress and a mini skirt though.

Don't like the blue French Connection one at all - or the blue Coast one.

Are you norky? If so, a fifties-style dress would be better than a shift or those 70s styles imho.
