Which colour for this dress?

I'm loving the dress in this picture. However I have a dilemma, which colour to go for? Whilst the grey one is more practical, the vermillion one is a hit different but is it too OTT.
I'm 5ft 8, small size 12 and pale with light brown hair, hazel eyes. Any advice on which to go for?

I like orange

Mamabird3 · 06/03/2015 13:08

I really like the orange one!

I like the orange too. Is that Orla Kiely?

Thank you, yes it's Orla Kiely!

I think I have seen it as a skirt. It's a lovely print!

The orange is lovely - provided it suits you? My colouring isn't too different from yours (pale skin, dark blonde hair, blue eyes) and I'm pretty sure it would overwhelm me.

Is it very bright Dexter? I don't know if I could carry off a really bright orange....

I prefer the grey personally, and I think bright orange is very difficult to wear.

I like them both (and have done since they came out!) You could always wear the black with orange tights...I so would Grin, but otherwise I'd go for the orange every time. If your hair was any lighter it could overwhelm you, but I think with light brown hair you're fine.

Yes, yes, I know it's actually grey...Blush

Orange! And wear it with red lipstick Smile

It's bright but not very bright. The fabric for the skirt was very nice and it did look like it was really good quality and expensive.

Oh no- now I'm just not sure.....
