I'm off out for drinks with school mums. We're going to some quite posh bars.

I have loads of full on glam va va voom dresses but very few for this kind of occasion. My usual style is retro and glam without being full on rockabilly.

Do either of these look nice? I won't be wearing the shoes in the pic. I've ordered some black shoe boots.

I had a baby fairly recently so am feeling a bit crap and like I've lost my mojo.

I ordered this dress but it arrived today and isn't as nice as I thought it would be.

Out of interest, which shoe boots have you ordered....?

Nancy66 · 27/02/2015 14:03

First one looks the best by a mile.
Like the red one too, less keen on second but could be it just doesn't picture well.

PrimalLass · 27/02/2015 14:06

The blue leopard one.

lovingmatleave · 27/02/2015 14:07

blue leopard

dementedpixie · 27/02/2015 14:07

I think the red one makes you look bigger than you are - looks like too much fabric. Blue sleeveless is best

First one.

fortifiedwithtea · 27/02/2015 14:10

I like the first one sleeveless, it gives you a really nice waistline, you'll get lots of compliments on your post baby figure.

Congratulations Flowers

I like the second one best too (bit any of them are nice)

Aw thanks fortified Smile. And everyone for your kind comments.

PrivatePike I'm still on your team Grin

The leopard print one isn't with a belt. The black leathery bits are part of the dress. I got it for £14 in the Joy sale!

These are the shoes.

I think the Closet dress makes the most of your figure. It accentuates your boobs (the v-neck helps) and the nipped in waist shows that you have one Wink 6 months after having a baby #welljel Smile and because of the tulip shape of the skirt part brings your eye down to your slim legs.

The lace one looks lovely. You have a fabulous figure!

The red one is nice but there's something not right about it. I'm not sure what though.

notsogoldenoldie · 27/02/2015 15:08

I prefer the pink one, but think the bluey one fits better. They're both nice, but imo the neckline on the blue one is too high. I prefer v necks, and the shape of the pink one kind of accentuates your (excellent) figure better. If you're not comfortable, though, it won't matter what anyone says.

nancy75 · 27/02/2015 15:12

I like the first one best.
As for having a baby - well I had one 9 YEARS AGO and still don't look anything like as good as you!

Have fun on your night out

Littlewren82 · 27/02/2015 15:30

Another vote for the blue! You look fab Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/02/2015 17:08

They all look good, but personally I'd put a cami under the pink one.

Are you worried about your stomach in the lace one? Just wondering from the hand on tummy stance. If yes, then you probably wouldn't feel comfortable in it, although you don't look as if you have anything at all to worry about.

In terms of the actual dresses, my least favourite is the blue - but that's because I don't like the black leathery bits on it, rather than that it doesn't suit you.

So that was a very meandering way of saying - any of them! :)

LadyStark · 27/02/2015 17:19

Blue leopard by a country mile, it's the most flattering.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 27/02/2015 17:41

The first one is far more flattering on your figure so you should go with that one

TheTallestDaffodil · 27/02/2015 18:16

The blue leopard is waaaay more flattering, very cute!

JohnFarleysRuskin · 27/02/2015 18:19

Either of the first two. You look great.

LeoandBoosmum · 27/02/2015 19:24

You look fabulous in the first one (the sleeveless leopard one). I really don't like the second dress on you, sorry :( I don't think it flatters your figure at all, whereas the first one really does! Glad you added you wouldn't be wearing those shoes with your dress... I think black booties will look great!
Oh, I think the red dress, while nice, is too low-waisted for you.
Yep, the first one all the way. Have fun!

GingerLDN · 27/02/2015 20:38

I love the leopard one, but your figure looks really fab in the lace one (it does in both but lace especially)

Flambola · 27/02/2015 21:27

Is it too late for me to vote for the first one?!
