Outfit A or outfit B? (Or neither!)

[DuchessEm]

My Dad is getting married in a couple of weeks and I have had an outfit ready for about 5 months, but I tried it on the other day with my new accessories and I'm just not sure it is right any more. So after a shopping trip I have come home with a second dress that is very different from my first one and although I love it, I am not entirely sure it is right either! I have trouble finding dresses to fit as I am tall, shapeless and flat chested, so these are the only 2 that seemed to work.

Can you please help me to decide which dress to wear. I have put photos on my profile page and I'm hoping they are clear enough for you to see the dresses. I still need a hat or flower for my hair, but can only decide on this once I know what dress I am wearing!

So... outfit A or outfit B?!!

TIA

Dress A is fab(and you are not shapeless-have a fab models figure so stop fishing for compliments). I actually know someone who is wearing that same dress as a bridesmaid! I would go for nude or gold sandals(not silver!).

Purple, looks fabulous!

Love the purple dress - really suits your figure.

Right, definitely wearing the purple, then!! DD says I look like a flamenco dancer (not sure if that's good or not!) and showed DH last night who says he likes it too. Looked a bit horrified when I said I'd be needing new shoes and bag to go with it, though!

Thanks again, everyone!

DuchessEm - Just spotted your outfit A in this months Essentials magazine - they've put it with red accessories/red lips (looks lovely)! Also colour on the opposite page (cobalt blue) looks like it would go nicely with it (so don't have to stick to nude bag/shoes)!

THe purple is really lovely. I love that layered look.

Thanks for that, Applecrumble! Red sounds amazing! Will see if I can get hold of the magazine to have a look what they've put it with!

Thanks, Eglu! I wasn't sure at first as it is so different to what I would normally wear, but thanks to all you lovely MNers, I'm going to go with it and I'm looking forward to wearing it!

You look lovely in dress A i think a fascinator in purple with nude shoes / bag

Whatever you decide to wear, I'm sure you'll look lovely. Hope you all have a great day and good luck & best wishes to your dad and his new bride!!

Definitely A (very jealous of your legs)!

I'm your height and find Dune do good mid heels- usually comfy too

they also have these ones- but maybe courts better??

This bag is quite nice

Definitely A! Love the colour & it looks lovely with your figure. Though I do like the other dress too. Lucky you to have 2 choices - I inevitably struggle to find one thing I like when I need an outfit for a special occasion!
Bet you will find some fab accessories to go with it too. Great when things work out well isn't it!

You look great in both. I'd defo go with the blue one - but not with black shoes. Go neutral or daring.
B

love that purple one
you look great in it

these shoes are different

or these in green

gah not those horrid nude ones these

slightly dull but a bargain

Wow, even more replies! Thanks for all of the links to shoes and bags! I have managed to get some really nice nude shoes from TKMaxx yesterday, very similar to the dune ones that Cashmere linked to. Now I just need to find some sort of handbag, although quest for my accessories has been halted due to the Bride's crisis with her outfit and headwear! Think it is all sorted now, but we had to exhaust all avenues and there is definitely a gap in the market for mature brides. But that's another thread!

Thanks again, everyone!
