Please help with a dress for my dh's 30th birthday.

[MonsterBookOfHorrors]

Hello
Can any of you style and beauty ladies help me.
Dh is having a 30th birthday party in December. I want to wear a dress which I dont normally do.
I am a size 12 in jeans and t shirts but always seem to be a size 14 in dresses. I am 25 with dark hair but may be dyeing it blonde before december.
Is this ok here
I dont want to go over the top. It is a christmas themed party night and we are incorporating dh's birthday as that is the 23rd.

Or perhaps this ?

I prefer the first one but both could be dressed up nicely with accessories.

Thanks pink4ever I do like the price better for that one too [hgrin]
Also prefer the neckline.

I prefer the first. They are quite 'classic'. If you are under 30, don't you want something a little more trendy?

I quite like the first one too.

I also love this and this.

That red one is lovely. For a younger woman, the red one is a lot nicer and more elegant looking.

I agree with kumquat - think they're too old for a 25 year old.

They are great link celtic.

Agree that they are too old for a 25 year old.

See that you are drawn to blue. Would you consider this?

agree that the red oasis one and the blue warehouse dresses are really lovely-just perfect for your age.
purple
red

I really like the purple one that Clure has linked to as I like how it flows at the bottom but I am not very keen on a high neckline.
I also like the first red one celticlassie linked to but same with the neckline.
Would accessories help with making the neckline seem softer like a necklace?
Any help with accessories would be great too please :)
I agree that my dresses are probably a bit old for me, I am really bad at choosing dresses :)

Have you looked at the Lipsy website? They do georgeous party dresses for 25 year old's.

Oh my god the red one is gorgeous! Please wear it. The neckline needs to be high I think because the skirt is quite short. I wouldn't wear a necklace with it unless it was a very fine gold chain with a small pendant or something. Shoes should be red or some kind of strappy sandal in silver I think.

AngryFeet would silver sandals work best? I would be concerned about finding the right shade of red. :) I wont wear a necklace then, I am not good at this [hgrin]
Sweetheart I will check out the lipsy website :)

What about this one?
I still think I prefer the other red one though! :)

The red dress Clure linked to is lovely - I'd wear leopard print heels with it.

Also like your lipsy one which is more clubby and I'd wear black patent heels with a slight platform with that one

I love Black patent heels! I have just shown dh and his favourite is the Lipsy one.
I am going to have a think about it and possibly order the two red ones and wear one for dh's birthday and the other for our wedding anniversary in January.
Thanks for all the suggestions wrt the dresses :)

If I was 25 I'd go for the lipsy one too

M&S have got some fab black patent platforms for £19.50 in their ltd collection.

Ok Campbell I will go and google them :)
