Which dress would you choose?

I am going to a big birthday party in a few weeks (glamorous theme) and I need a dress. I've found this one: in black and this one in red

Which is nicer out of the two? Or are they both horrible Grin ?

I'm 25, olive skinned, brown hair (pixie length), 5'9.5 in flats, size 10/12, hourglass shape. I have a little bit of a wobbly tum, but I'm planning on Spanxing that away Grin

It's gorgeous, I can imagine both would look great on you.

reggiebean · 06/09/2013 12:23

I know you were hoping for a decision, but these both would look great I think. I would be slightly leaning towards the black because of the wobbly tum, but if yours is easily manageable by Spanx (mine takes two pairs Blush) then it's honestly whatever you feel more comfortable in.

Think you could dress the black one up more formal, and the red one would be a bit more edgy... Sorry I'm not more help!

I don't like one sleeved dresses personally, so cannot suggest the black one! I think the red one is much nicer.

WhoNickedMyName · 06/09/2013 12:27

The red would go really well with your colouring and it's the nicer dress imo.

MollyBerry · 06/09/2013 12:33

Both are nice but I think you should go for the red one (looks comfier regarding the Spanx issue!)

HighJinx · 06/09/2013 12:35

They're both lovely but I think the red one wins.

lurkingaround · 06/09/2013 12:36

I'm not much help either. I think either will be lovely on you. Tbh I'm a bit envious!

Trills · 06/09/2013 12:38

I think the red would be more "wow" than the black.

KnockMeDown · 06/09/2013 12:45

Hmm, with your particulars, I think you would great in both. I would generally prefer a red dress, but not THAT red dress IYSWIM.

Of the two you have linked to, I think the black is much more classy, but in general I think you could do way better than either.

Sorry, that's not much help, is it?

Lizzylou · 06/09/2013 12:48

The red one. Definitely.
You do aound like you could wear a binbag and look dab though Envy

dexter73 · 06/09/2013 12:53

I like the red one but I don't like the way it is baggy around her chest in the catwalk video. I like the black one too. Loads of help their!

PlumBear · 06/09/2013 13:35

Red one is knock out. I'd go for that sits on credit card

MizK · 06/09/2013 14:51

I say the red, unless you have really big boobs because it looks a little precarious around the top! The black one is a bit shiny. You sound gorgeous though so wear whatever you please!

Lonelynessie · 07/09/2013 01:25

Thanks, I think I'm swaying towards the red dress now Smile

I'm going to order it and see how it looks on. Wine for the help.
