Second one!

JimbobChooChoo · 15/06/2013 12:49

Thanks everyone for your feed back!
Funnily enough thought people would say the first one but I'm now swayed to get the second one.

I'm 5'3 and around a size 12.

Thanks so much again for replies Flowers

Well, tbh, I don't like either, but the second one is MUCH better than the first. The first one looks like it's supposed to be white, but you g ot hit by a paintball gun Grin

NeverBeenToMe · 15/06/2013 12:53

Can I say neither sets my world on fire - especially for a 'big' party. As suggested up thread, get thee over to Style & Beauty for more suggestions!

mrsjay · 15/06/2013 12:58

the second one I dont like the pink sleeves on the first one

OwlinaTree · 15/06/2013 13:00

2nd one

ZillionChocolate · 15/06/2013 13:01

2nd

WafflyVersatile · 15/06/2013 13:02

It all rather depends on how well they fit you etc but the 2nd one is rather lovely.

wonderingsoul · 15/06/2013 13:02

second was is lovely.

Feelslikea1sttimer · 15/06/2013 13:03

The 2nd one is lovely

WafflyVersatile · 15/06/2013 13:04

If you thought people would prefer the first it might be because you can visualise yourself better in each whereas for us we have a picture of a dress without the context of a person wearing it and a picture of a dress with a model wearing it which probably slants things in its favour.

WillYouDoTheFandango · 15/06/2013 13:06

I'd say the 2nd one too. Are you quite booby though? I'm 5' 3" and a size 12 and that would look awful on me with my mahoosive bosoms.

JimbobChooChoo · 15/06/2013 13:09

I am WillYou!I'm 34FF!So hard to buy for my size/shape...

Thankyou again

I liked the first one!

thegreylady · 15/06/2013 13:20

2nd one unless you are well over 40 when the first one has it :)

LeGavrOrf · 15/06/2013 13:21

The first one. The second one looks like it is made from cheesecloth.

garlicnutty · 15/06/2013 13:34

The second one would look awful on a little woman with enormous norkage, sorry. Unless you want to spend a couple of hundred quid to look like you came out in your little sister's nightie?

I don't think the first will do your bust many favours, either, depending on the cut. Are you dark of skin? That would make quite a big difference to both dresses.

BunnyLebowski · 15/06/2013 13:35

The first one. Without question.

The second one is old fashioned, flouncy and, according to the picture, entirely see through Confused

simplesusan · 15/06/2013 13:37

The second one looks nicer but it is hard to tell what they woulkd look like on you. It does look very low cut though.

garlicnutty · 15/06/2013 13:38

Nah. Found the first dress on a model. Not good for boobs ...

HollyBerryBush · 15/06/2013 13:42

I prefer the first one - the second one looks like old net curtains (sorry)

Yonihadtoask · 15/06/2013 14:03

Gosh. The first one looks even worse on the model.

iamadoozermum · 15/06/2013 14:07

Second one

Slainte · 15/06/2013 14:09

Another vote for the second one Smile
