Please help me decide if I want to keep these dresses?

Mumsnet jury, please tell me if I need to keep this dress.

I ordered both red and black and really like them both - mostly for casual wear, lunches, maybe for work if I keep a blazer on at all times (the back is a bit risqué). Have a few family parties coming up which it might be good for as well.

I am blonde and the black suits me better but red is more festive and a bit more unusual. Do I keep them both? Or would that be extraordinarily extravagant? TIA!

I like the black one. With the flat boots and black tights I would have happily worn it to work. The red one looks awful. Love last years red dress though!

The red looks cheap....

BUT, I think good taste is overrated, and it is more fun if people dress up!

On me it would lok beyond slutty ( I have the same prob with all fitted dresses, I just cannot pull it off) but that is not to say it would be the same for you!

If YOU love it, wear it with pride.

I would love to have the type of Christmas that called for a dress like that.

unexpected thats the thing about Christmas - you CAN wear what you want to wear!
