Going to a 50 th party next weekend and wondering what to wear.

Haven't tried them on but wondering about this mint velvet one or Alice temperley one www.johnlewis.com/somerset-by-alice-temperley-winter-floral-silk-dress-red/p1613801?colour=Red or this other Mint Velvet one

Thanks for any help and if it makes any difference I am a size 8 reasonably slim but with no waist and 5'4.

Thanks for your help.

Not keen on the mint velvet ones and the other link won't open.

Like the cocoon one. cannot get the temperley link to work.

Google the middle one and prefer it.

The second mint velvet one. The first one looks a bit strange to me and the floral one is maybe a bit matronly.

I prefer the mint velvet one.

Do you mind me asking what it is about the mint velvet ones that you don't like? I like the brand but know some folk think they are very dull.

The first mint velvet one I meant.

What are your arms like?

Think you are right the first mint velvet one is a bit strange and I tried to convince myself the temperley one was a bit kimonoesque!

Like the third one. Think the temperley one is shapeless and the first mint velvet one is strange

not sure about that cape thing irl it could be lovely.

My arms are good (I think) but I prefer sleeves. Overall I am very skinny but shapeless!

2nd MV one but v expensive - doubt it's worth that much. Don't like the pattern of the AT one much and first MV looks a bit strange.

Love the first one, it's unusual.

I think all mint velvet stuff is pretty dear for what it's worth but I don't have much time so need to tread buy online or do a veryquicknshop!

I'm not overly fond of any of them but I would go for the 2nd mint velvet one. The 1st one, I agree with others in that it looks strange. Something about the pattern just starting half way down the dress, I don't know

2nd mint velvet or the alice temperley. I'm impressed if you have the figure to get away with these, I'd look like a sack of spuds.

The temperley one out of the three but to be honest for a slim size 8 none of them are particularly wow. And none of the colours/patterns are particularly nice.

Don't like the FC one, sorry.

I like the first mint velvet one!!! I think its very unusual. I dont like any of the other ones!!

I like second Mint velvet one. I don;t like the chiffon overlay thingy on the first one. The Alice Temperley one doesn't look great, the sleeves are a strange, matronly length and the body is quite shapeless looking.

The first MV dress looks like an ultrasound scan - and the second isn't much better!

This Alice Temperley dress is similar to your original suggestion, but less sack-like.
