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:

Agree - 1 looks lovely and not grumpy at all.

SausageSoda · 15/12/2016 15:13

No 1 suits you the best. But no to nude heels with it!

ElodieS · 15/12/2016 15:38

Number 1 looks lovely! Have a great time!

oldmum22 · 15/12/2016 15:45

I was team 3 but seeing the photos of you wearing the dresses, definitely no.1 ,it is very flattering on you . Can I just say what fab taste you have in clothes. Have a great night

BakeOffBiscuits · 15/12/2016 18:12

I said 1 or 3 but seeing you in them def no1

You look fab!

BusterGonad · 15/12/2016 18:28

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

NoraCharlesMartiniGlass · 15/12/2016 19:19

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

PurpleNurple69 · 15/12/2016 19:21

Definitely 1! Beautiful!

littlecupcake · 15/12/2016 20:12

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

Number 1, no contest.

OccultGnuAsWell · 15/12/2016 22:36

I also vote for 1 on basis of photo - good choice

StCecilia · 15/12/2016 22:39

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

desperatehousewife2 · 16/12/2016 07:41

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

Tanaqui · 16/12/2016 07:51

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.

rollonthesummer · 16/12/2016 07:55

Number three is pretty but 1 looks best!

Peachypossum · 16/12/2016 09:17

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 ;)

VilootShesCute · 16/12/2016 09:32

Oh no number 3 looks the best!!!

wetpebbles · 16/12/2016 19:54

Number 1 does suit you the best

Helloooooitsme · 16/12/2016 20:15

Changed my mind from 3 to 1 now!

LaylaTheMaidAMilking · 19/12/2016 13:56

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!

littlecupcake · 20/12/2016 18:20

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

PollytheDolly · 20/12/2016 18:22

3 is lovely!!

FashionMommy · 21/12/2016 14:39

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.

movingforward2016 · 21/12/2016 16:23

I like no 1 the top detail is lovely!

Second choice is no 3

I don't like number 2

Good luck Grin
