Need help choosing a dress

Hi ladies, I've got a big night out tomorrow (work do - posh hotel - dinner / dance) but ive had a breakout of spots on my back. I was planing on wearing a halter dress but its now out due to said back problem.

I have a couple of shrugs but both are black and my dress is red with cream spots. I have an alternative dress that isn't as nice. If I post pictures of both could you please give your opinion on what looks best? Having a bit of a freak out just now.

Red dress with spots & black shrug - ignore the mis match shoes. Or black dress (again ignore the shoes - and the make up bag scattered in the floor)

Sorry the photos aren't great I had to take them in the mirror.

I really like both... They really suit you. I would probably opt for the black one, only because the red dress would look better with a cream shrug.... But I think if you really love the red one and would feel more glam in it then you can get away with the black shrug, if you wear black shoes. Have a great time!

Thanks. I'm going to go with the red one. Popping over to my cousins to get her to work her make up magic on my back - I will take the shrug for back up but after a few drinks I probably won't even care. Was just having a freak out last night. I had just paid to get the red one altered an thought I wouldn't have been able to wear it.

Love the red one!

Vote for the red one here. It really shows of your figure.

Also I like bright colours, but I realise that's my own personal taste :-)

The red dress is lovely, and more flattering on you. Hope you had a good night!

Red one!

I prefer the red dress even with the black shrug, but you need to sort out the bra situation... tis a bit saggy.

My good strapless bra was drying when I took the photos (wonderbra one with the plastic 'hands') so I was wearing an old halter bra that's a bit stretched out - not that it was that good when it was new anyway.
