I like the red one best.

Awks · 04/12/2015 21:43

Like the red one. It's festive :)

Tartyflette · 04/12/2015 21:46

I like the black and cream one on you best.

Neonbib · 04/12/2015 21:48

Black dress is lovely

imnottoofussed · 04/12/2015 21:51

I like the black one best but the red is also lovely so not a definite no either Smile

Yseulte · 04/12/2015 22:08

They're both nice but the black is more slimming. I'd wear black tights with it.

ScarlettDarling · 04/12/2015 22:10

I like them both but the red is more festive

JaceLancs · 04/12/2015 22:13

I prefer the red I think it flatters your figure better

calzone · 04/12/2015 22:14

Black one is more flattering.

I would say black with gold shoes, no necklace.

timelytess · 04/12/2015 22:17

You look light years better in the first one. The red emphasises your tum and there's no need, the first one doesn't. Wear a few gold chains to draw attention to your chest in the black dress and some fabulous sheer stockings and black shoes with very high heels to draw attention to your legs. Hair big, soft, flowing.

Coastingit · 04/12/2015 22:17

Red one definitely.

Penguito · 04/12/2015 22:18

Black really suits your figure

BonitaFangita · 04/12/2015 22:19

both dresses are lovely. But I really like the red one, it really suits you figure, have a great night

shedragon · 04/12/2015 22:20

Black. Much better

polyhymnia · 04/12/2015 22:31

The red doesn't really flatter your tummy. The black better but very short and I think would be most flattering with black opaques and black non bling shoes. I don't think gold chains on it would improve it. It's already making quite a statement with the black on nude effect.

polyhymnia · 04/12/2015 22:33

Also think the long sleeves on the black more flattering.

ThreeRuddyTubs · 04/12/2015 22:34

The black one is much more flattering to your figure than the red

polyhymnia · 04/12/2015 22:40

And agree on keeping hair in a soft style, to keep the look soft and not too obvously 'full-on'.

PrimalLass · 04/12/2015 22:45

The black one hands down.

shedragon · 04/12/2015 23:03

Yy agree, black with dark tights and non-fussy black shoes. Necklace not needed with the dress. Bracelet if you want

timelytess · 05/12/2015 00:26

I stand by 'my' necklaces. You might say the pattern makes them unnecessary, and its true most necklaces would fight the dress, but you have a heck of an asset in the lower necklace region and you don't want to undersell it. Its Christmas, its a party, go for it.

curriegirl · 05/12/2015 08:46

The red one. I think the black one is too short on you. Where is the red one from?

Kennington · 05/12/2015 08:57

Black
But both are great

Dowser · 05/12/2015 10:16

I like both. You have fab legs. If it was a really chilly night I'd go for long sleeves, warmer night no sleeves.

herecomesthsun · 05/12/2015 10:21

black, cracking legs
