I've bought a few and was wondering which one to wear to a ball, but it's not super super smart I'm not so fond of my arms and hips but will wear a cardigan over any of the non-sleeve dresses.

Opinions please! Be as harsh as you like as there are a lot

I like the first the best and and the third as runner up. PLEASE don't wear a cardigan over any of them. You have a beautiful figure and ovely arms!

Alwaysbloodyhungry · 06/03/2014 19:08

5 and 7 get my vote. And yes no need for cardigans!

dottyaboutstripes · 06/03/2014 19:10

I like number 5, it looks fantastic, you REALLY don't need the cardigan Smile

Hooleywhipper · 06/03/2014 19:10

1&3 and again no cardigan!

Foxred10 · 06/03/2014 19:12

Number 5 NO CARDI! Wink

Funnyfoot · 06/03/2014 19:12

For a ball number 1 looks the most special. The rest are lovely but a little boring looking.

pictish · 06/03/2014 19:13

7 is the most elegant and stylish. The others are fine but not very exciting. My second favourite would be no 1.

And listen to everyone when they say - no need for a cardi. Your arms are fine!!

Canalside · 06/03/2014 19:17

Ooh, 7 is lovely. No need for a cardigan! (where is it from?)

AcaciaBeez · 06/03/2014 19:18

Thanks for all your advice - I might look fine but it's an event where there will be lots of skinny minnies.

I'm leaning towards 5 as it's the comfiest too.
I don't get out much so I'm very nervous about this!

You have a gorgeous figure! I think you look stunning in 6.

1 and 7 for me. You look great. No cardi!

Allalonenow · 06/03/2014 19:22

Number 1 first choice
Number 7 second choice

No CARDI though!!

MelanieCheeks · 06/03/2014 19:23

7 is my favourite.

Will you be dancing? Some of the others look a bit too constricting for movement.

And agree - no cardis! You can wear a lightweight pashmina or shawl if you're cold going to and from the car.

HyvaPaiva · 06/03/2014 19:23

Number 6 is my favourite! You look great!

WowserBowser · 06/03/2014 19:26

I like 7. And 3.

And you have lovely arms!

thenightsky · 06/03/2014 19:26

1 or 7 (preferably 1 as it's the most special 'ball' looking one)

Number 6 is a Morticia Adams dress!

Dilidali · 06/03/2014 19:26
  1. And 1and 3, you look great, silly!

If you're feeling self conscious, how about a big silver organza shawl? It'll lift the outfit and eventually annoy you enough to take it off and not care about what people might think. Would work with silver shoes.

AcaciaBeez · 06/03/2014 19:28

I'm surprised 7 is so popular it was a sort of non-choice when I tried them all on.

There may be dancing but I probably won't so movement probably isn't a problem!

DaftSkunk · 06/03/2014 19:29

I think number 1 and agree with the above comments a) you have a great figure and b) no cardigan!

MadameJosephine · 06/03/2014 19:31

Number 3 stands out to me, you look fabulous! I agree a cardi would spoil the look of the others so if you are really worried about your arms (not that you should be)then a sleeved one may help you feel less self conscious?

saidnooneever · 06/03/2014 19:31

1 and 7.

You've got a lovely figure . Don't wear a cardi.

BikeRunSki · 06/03/2014 19:38

5 or 6
No cardigan, but you need some accessories to glam any of them (except maybe 1) up a bit.
Don't like 7 at all.

NachoAddict · 06/03/2014 19:40

1 or 3, you look great in them all, no cardi necessary.

AcaciaBeez · 06/03/2014 19:40

Thank you for all the help everyone :) - I think I've just got used to being around such beautiful people I feel a bit like the ugly duckling and want to cover up
