Which dress?

[flier]

Please help ladies - I'm going to my first works christmas night in years and hardly ever dress up these days.
Which of these dresses do you think?

I'm a 43 year old, chunky thighed gal with boobage. I'd rather have a slight v neck but I like the style of lower part of these dresses

I like them both! Sorry, that's not helpful is it?

If you are big of boob, would this one work better?

I much prefer the magenta one. The colour is gorgeous. I know what you mean about v-necks being better for big boobs though.

I prefer the colours of the first dress you linked but also think you might be better with a lower neckline. Have you looked at lindybop? They have lots of dresses for about 15quid today in their sale and they are normally good quality.

I like the one London has linked.

Yep, i agree, the Isabella dress is really flattering, I have it in polka dots!

The magenta one.

Thanks ladies. The Isabella one is lovely too, but I find the bow at the cleavage too fussy for me.

I think the bow can be removed, not entirely sure as mine isn't removable but I have a feeling they altered it so it clips on and off

First one - magenta.

Second one looks like the horrible curtains you'd find in a trying-too-hard tea shop.

Have you looked at www.lindybop.co.uk? They have a half price sale on at the moment.

I like them both but like the magenta best.

Could you get the first one and see if a seamstress could alter the neckline? It's s lovely colour.

Love the magenta one!

I’m going against the tide here but I like the second one better! Much more Christmassy and formal looking. I think the magenta is lovely but teamed with the navy in the pattern makes it look less formal.

Ooh - the Lindybop stuff is nice! Can anyone tell me how their sizing compares to, say, Monsoon? Thanks!

Both lovely! I'd go with the first, warmer colour for Christmas. Enjoy your party!

possible Lindybop sizes seem pretty accurate but not overly generous. I think they list the actual measurements of each garment on the website.

Thanks Pantsalive!

And I also vote dress 1, OP...

Thanks everyone. Magenta ordered.

I have lindybop dresses and I don't go by their sizing/measurements. I just buy what I normally would in any other shop. I have 14 s and 16s where there sizing says I would need a 20. Both 14 and 16 fit well, not too tight(I just go by whether they have any stretch in or not)

Yes magenta one for me too. But I would have got the sweetheart one and removed the bow.

But never mind. The other one is still gorgeous.
