Navy dress with black tights? Or different dress?!

[milkybrew]

Will it look awful?
Choice of two dresses, navy with all over small floral print or burgundy jersey dress. Intend to wear with Black opaques, black shoe boots and a black blazer with cream cuff detail. Can't decide which to go with. Any opinions?!

I think the burgundy would look better. Navy can work with black tights but depends on the overall look I think.

Agree with suebfg navy dress can work with black tights sometimes, but depends on the dress - if it's got quite a busy, detailed print which dilutes the colour of the navy it sounds like it wouldn't quite work. A strong 'bright' plain navy with opaque tights works better (I think).

I love navy with black

Thanks for replies. The navy dress has tiny cream flowers all over. I initially was going for the burgundy dress but I feel self conscious in it-I never wear dresses and the jersey fabric is clingy! My DH thinks I'm mad and says the dress is a great fit. The navy dress is more floaty so it's the safer option in my mind! and I can wear my vest because I am flipping freezing all the time! Just not sure about navy dress, black everything else.

I bought a navy dress recently and wear it with burgundy tights

I also love navy with black, but adding a print into the equation might get in the way a bit. Have you tried it all on together? It would probably be fine.

Tried all on with the burgundy dress but not had a chance to try on the navy yet. Will do in the morning once I can be bothered to iron the navy dress! Perhaps I best just go with the burgundy one? I'm so out of my comfort zone with dresses, I wear jeans or trousers all the time!
