Which dress if any should I wear for a black tie summer wedding? The black/gold and the navy blue are the same style. It also comes in lots of other colours but most are too pale for me.

(And how do you do a selfie that shows off a dress? I couldn't work out the best place to hold the phone.)

Flowery one. The neckline is so chic.

No.2 - fabulous, 3 not bad, 1 no!

StatisticallyChallenged · 07/07/2016 23:24

I think 1 is the better for a black tie wedding - I love 2 on you as well, 3 is a bit dull although could be made to look fab with accessories, fuschia pink maybe. I like the pansy but floral prints don't really say black tie to me

Unicorntrainer · 07/07/2016 23:25

Not black, not to a wedding . I am sure you will fab in either. Good choice!

LarkDescending · 07/07/2016 23:25

Floral one! Really lovely.

StressedOutB2B · 07/07/2016 23:25

The first one is my favourite

I think I'm just not a lace person. I feel like I'm wearing a giant doily.
I wish the flower one came in a more eveningy colour.

No1

The flower print is everywhere this year.

BikeRunSki · 07/07/2016 23:29

Floral

WomanActually · 07/07/2016 23:29

I like number 1, but number two is beautiful too.

If I could, I'd want to wear number 2 for the wedding and then number for the evening as I'd want to wear them both :)

milkysmum · 07/07/2016 23:32

I like 1st and 2nd not keen on 3rd as seems much 'older' for some reason

1frenchfoodie · 07/07/2016 23:35

No 2 (pansies), though all look good.

GinBunny · 07/07/2016 23:36

I've never seen Style and Beauty trending before!
The black and gold one is stunning OP, really beautiful. The flowery one is pretty and an obvious wedding guest dress but not as striking. Navy, more of an evening party.
You have got a lovely figure and it looks beautiful on you jealous

Love the first one best but

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 07/07/2016 23:41

First one. But they do all look lovely, I'd avoid no.3 because it's so dark for a summer wedding.

Enjoy the wedding Smile

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 07/07/2016 23:42

I've looked again, and the first one really is stunning.

Nettletheelf · 07/07/2016 23:42

Flowery one, definitely. The neckline is really sharp and chic.

The navy one is a bit matronly. In that style the black & gold one is miles better.

ephemeralfairy · 07/07/2016 23:43

I vote the flowers. Much more summery, the black and gold is lovely but might be a bit to dark/evening-y for summer?
I think a pair of shoes and a bag in one (or more!) of the colours in the dress would look stunning.

EttaJ · 07/07/2016 23:45

They all look lovely but I prefer the black and gold. Gorgeous figure!

IamAporcupine · 07/07/2016 23:47

number 2 by far!

Cathaka15 · 07/07/2016 23:48

Love them all on you. But soon as i saw the first one I wanted it. So if i was wearing it I would go for the first one.

Cathaka15 · 07/07/2016 23:49

Where did you buy them??

Tartyflette · 07/07/2016 23:51

The flower one is summery and pretty and perfectly suitable for a wedding but I think it needs high heeled strappy sandals to set it off. The black peep-toes are a little heavy-looking for it. (Though they are fine with the black and gold dress, which is also lovely. )
The navy one is the least interesting of the three but you do look really good in all of them.
