Which Dress Do You Prefer Of These 2

I'm going to a 'Blessing', will be abroad and so should actually see the sun.

I've bought 2 dresses, one and two but need some opinions as don't need both.

I thought they were quite sweet and yet still stylish but ma having doubts.

The first dress does come in a dusky grey or a cobalt blue that I could always try instead.

Thoughts?

I quite like the pink one, but definitely not the white one. I don't think the neckline and the skirt look as if they go together, aside from the 'not wearing white to a wedding' rule - presume this would still apply at a blessing ?

It's not actually white. It's lemon with a lilac lace overlay.

The colours are a but stronger in real life too.

Neither of the couple will be wearing white.

But thanks anyway, will have another look at the neck.

I prefer the first. It's nice in pink but could be a bit little girly. I think the cobalt blue would look more stylish.

I like the 2nd one better but nearly £200 for polyester is pretty obscene imho - and you will be v hot too. I think you can get better and probably for less money tbh.

dress 1 is nylon, you will roast

dress 2 is just gopping

Have a look at Jigsaw- much classier and they have a lovely grey lace dress for £129.

TigOldBitties · 31/05/2013 21:27

Sorry had forgotten this thread. I find Jigsaw really frumpy and mumsy so I don't shop there. I looked at the grey dress I think you mean but its a bit plain, I think my mum would probably wear it and she's 62.

However, I did see this on there which I really like. I guess its down to The Great Gatsby but I'm going to order it and give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm really excited by the flapper dress.

I think I will keep the first dress, although will consider swapping the colour. Its a shame about the second one as it looks quite pretty in real life but its obviously not the best of the bunch.

I wasn't too fussed about the cost as I had an £85 credit from Whistles anyway so whichever dress I kept would work out relatively cheap.

The flapper dress is absolutely beautiful.

Not thinking much of Whistles dresses generally this season tbh, but do like these shorts - not at all what you're after though!

TigOldBitties · 31/05/2013 21:40

I've been really disappointed by Whistles this season Remus, usually I'd count them as one of my favourite shops (since they changed hands) but theres nothing much this season. I have come to the conclusion, I think last summer, that they do the winter season much better and summer just isn't a hit for them.

I'm so bored of Zara, always thought I could rely on Whistles to stem the frump but appears not.

The flapper dress is lovely- though £££! They did it for the Xmas season and it was obviously a success. I like the lace dress but know what you mean- it's kind of 'classic' and I have it in black- and I am more likely closer to your Mum's age than yours!

Flapper one is utterly ott

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/06/2013 16:03

Yes, it is - but it is v v v beautifully OTT!

KikeriFreedomCastle · 01/06/2013 16:18

I like the first dress more, but thinking you might be cooler in the white.

KikeriFreedomCastle · 01/06/2013 16:20

The flapper dress is beautiful, but looks almost like a costume.
