First one is lovely. Second one is a shocker.

ThePathlessPath · 06/06/2012 18:38

Adore this one but too expensive

Yes I agree - I've seen the Coast one in real life and it's very lovely.
I can't imagine the second one looking very "wow".

ThePathlessPath · 06/06/2012 18:38

off to find out where my nearest coast shop is ?

I like the Reiss though it is quite bridal in itself. Also what colouring are you? It might wash you out (it would wash me out: I am a super pale redhead).

mirry2 · 06/06/2012 18:39

first and third ones are lovely. agree with Unnamedfemaleprog that the 2nd one won't do.

ThePathlessPath · 06/06/2012 18:42

ok the 2nd one is out , I am dark colouring and dark hair

I think its lovely, though if you are bigger on top than your lower half would something thats darker at the top and lighter at the bottom be more flattering?

But its a gorgeous dress so worth trying on to see if it suits you, especially as you are only a size 8 so presumable not that hefty on your shoulders!

ThePathlessPath · 06/06/2012 18:44

love this but i might be too busty for it ? or too much orange?

Number three is very nice but a biT Kate Middleton. The Asos one is backless, not sure it's 'suitable' for a wedding.

ThePathlessPath · 06/06/2012 18:52

right going to go and try the coast one., everything is a bit KM at the moment
