Help please, smart supper tonight - what shall I wear?

Photos on profile of 3 possible dresses. I don't really have "dinner" dresses, I either have black tie or more like wedding or summer event type dresses. Nothing in between and no budget to buy so need to use what I have.

The photos don't really do any of the dresses justice, they are all pretty and lovely fabrics so hang/flow really nicely, but I don't know what to choose!

It's a smart supper at the house of some very good friends, big occasion, catered dinner, they're pulling out all the stops and everyone will be well dressed and dressed up as a result. Men not in ties, but probably in jackets. Ladies in dresses and heels I suspect.

The blue/flowery one I can dress up with a lovely sequinned wrap to make it more evening-like. Usual rules re grown up jewellery and sparkly earrings will apply.

The green/grey one is quite sparkly in itself, but possibly just a bit too wedding/christening.

Please help!

not keen on the top one but either of the other two will look lovely! Probably the middle one will look the smartest IMO

I like the second one best. It's really pretty and will look nice with heels etc.

Mumelie · 22/07/2011 12:36

I like the middel one the most.

Mumelie · 22/07/2011 12:36

middle even!

I like them all. Is the third one from Monsoon? because looks very like one I have been eyeing up in the sale!.

TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 22/07/2011 15:05

Middle one, definitely. Enjoy your evening.

DontKnowWhatToWear · 22/07/2011 15:08

Sounds like the middle one wins! I was thinking it was a bit wedding like, rather than evening dress...

And pink - yes, it is from Monsoon. I absolutely love it, but it is probably a bit summer picnic rather than swanky supper!

Thanks all - just off for a final try on of number 2 and number 3!

Middle one what make is it monsoon too ?

DontKnowWhatToWear · 22/07/2011 16:11

Just tried them both on, definitely the middle one, you are all sooooo right, you clever lot! MN comes through once again.....

It is Phase Eight - bought a couple of years ago, only worn once, I actually love it and am very pleased to be wearing it again....

I have that green/grey Phase 8 dress as well. I've worn it to several weddings but also wore it to my 40th birthday lunch with different jewellery and bag.

Enjoy your evening.
