Second one. I prefer it and it flatters you more. I think the cut round the arms and the length of the first is unflattering.

makeminea6x · 02/08/2015 08:11

They both suit your figure.

Bunbaker · 02/08/2015 08:11

I prefer the black one.

WipsGlitter · 02/08/2015 08:14

I prefer the black one.akes your waist look tiny!

AnaisB · 02/08/2015 08:18

Much prefer the black one (or is it navy??)

ivywilder · 02/08/2015 08:19

It's navy!

The navy one.

MelanieCheeks · 02/08/2015 08:23

Navy one, looks great on you!

Bluebiscuits · 02/08/2015 08:24

Navy for me too!

Paddingtonthebear · 02/08/2015 08:26

Navy for me

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 02/08/2015 08:28

The navy one. It's more glam sophisticated and elegant and easier to accessorize

ThreeFrazzledFandangos · 02/08/2015 08:33

Navy for me too.

Whereabouts in Italy is the wedding? (Has no bearing on the question, I'm just nosy)

TheCowThatLaughs · 02/08/2015 08:34

Navy one
The other one isn't very flattering imo

ivywilder · 02/08/2015 08:34

Sorrento. I'm so excited

They both look v nice! Which do you prefer?

scratchandsniff · 02/08/2015 08:45

The navy one looks more suited to a wedding although I think it would look better with different shoes. Some slingbacks perhaps, something without an ankle strap.

MairzyDoats · 02/08/2015 08:56

Definitely the navy one. Much more sophisticated, although needs different shoes.

ivywilder · 02/08/2015 09:58

Almost unanimous!

I like them both but feel like the navy one is more sophisticated. Problem is it cost 140 and I really need the money so was going to bring it back. Now I want to keep it!!

Definitely navy. Both are lovely but the navy one is much dressier. Have a wonderful time!

DorothyBastard · 02/08/2015 10:14

The navy one is lovely. You have a fantastic figure!

ivywilder · 02/08/2015 11:14

Thank you everyone! Especially you Dorothy

Think I'm going to have to take the hit on my bank balance and go with the navy. The coloured one is lovely but more casual I think. I have a beautiful pearly clutch bag to go with it. Will look in back of wardrobe for different shoes. Want to get a fan too I think it'd be a nice touch? Maybe a white one? What do you think?

Op. I think it would look better slightly shorter. Why not have another look around. All the sales are on.

That's a lot of money if money is tight. You have a lovely figure. Try something more fitted.

I thought you already had the dress.

ivywilder · 02/08/2015 12:06

I did buy both dresses. I've had an absolute nightmare with shopping, I'm all shopped out I think. Thoroughly sick of it. Maybe I could get the navy one altered so it's a bit shorter? I do agree it's not a great length on me. Also I was avoiding something fitted as it's going to be hot and I don't want to feel restricted.
