Posted earlier about a bright pink dress for my work Xmas do, but decided to follow advice and find something else. So I went late night shopping and couldn't choose between three dresses so I bought them all and will return two of them once I've made up my mind. Please tell me your favorites and help me choose!

I'm 38, 5'4" and the do is dinner and dance in a hotel. Hope the links work:

1 and 3, but I would go for the 3rd one if you get bloated, as 1st is bodycon. I am the same, I get bloated during meals and drinks so I never choose bodycon dresses.

Ahh, thanks Layla! I went with number one in the end. I loved number 3 but I don't have the confidence to pull it off (would have definitely worn it for a black tie do though). Had a lovely evening and drank way too much Grin

Hope that you had a lovely time at the party? For what it's worth - I still think that no. 3 suited you best although you have the figure to pull any of the 3 off. Jealous!

Changed my mind from 3 to 1 now!

Number 1 does suit you the best

Yep, I'll change my vote after seeing the photos, no 1 really suits you. I may have put number 3 on my Christmas list ;)

Number three is pretty but 1 looks best!

I think possibly the navy is a better colour for you too- but agree, 1 does suit you! 3 has an awful hemline in real life, didn't realise that in the link. 2 is okay but I'm less keen on the round neck on you.

You have a great figure and number 1 shows it off perfectly!

1 looked really boring it the link but you look fab in it...hands down number 1 for me, it totally suits and flatters your figure Xmas Grin

It's incredible... it's gone from very contradictory opinions this morning to unanimous verdict this evening! Just goes to show different dresses sit different people!

Thanks everyone for your opinions. I lack confidence but you've all given me the boost I need to get Dress Number One on, glitz myself up a bit and not try to hide away in a corner at the party tomorrow night!

For all your lovely comments... Thank you Flowers Especially the one about my ankles Grin Blush

I agree you look great in 1. May I add that you have particularly lovely ankles!

It's not that no1 is frumpy at all, you just look really good in it. It's a hard one to pull of but you do have a lovely figure for it. I would look awful as I'm too lumpy and bumpy but you are not. It's a compliment. Wink
