Help me choose a dress for my hen do...

Hello MN'ers,

Terribly outing if anyone knows me but I'm an open books so no bother.

My hen do is coming up and while it's mainly a secret I've been told it's 1920s/Gatsby/flapper girl theme and I'm to 'dress to impress'.

I'm a size 22 so not exactly flapper girl material Blush

That being said I found some amazing Gatsby dresses online and have narrowed it down to three...

Votes please vipers!

Do you prefer...

  1. Plum
  2. Black/silver
  3. Black/gold

Thanks!

I like the plum. It looks back on my screen, but I imagine it is a beautiful colour.

Maudlinmaud · 27/08/2017 16:17

Good picking, they are all lovely on you. I like the gold best.

stumblymonkeyagain · 27/08/2017 16:18

DP says plum or black/silver....awaiting DMs input by text Grin

They all look sensational!

But my vote is for gold

marmiteloversunite · 27/08/2017 16:20

Gold is the most flattering. Lovely.

YorkieDorkie · 27/08/2017 16:21

Either number 1 or 3 look amazing! The cut of the second one is a little frumpy.

Ttbb · 27/08/2017 16:22

I like the black on black. Coincidentally where did you get them from? They're really nice.

Gah81 · 27/08/2017 16:25

Gold, then purple, then black. They all look great though!

stumblymonkeyagain · 27/08/2017 16:25

They're from GatsbyLady.com which I found out about and ordered via LittleBlackDress.co.uk.

They're beautiful quality and weigh quite a lot with all of the beadwork. Can't find one bead out of place on the five I ordered (four will go back).

Gold. Looks fab

notangelinajolie · 27/08/2017 16:27

I love them all. Sorry no help whatsoever. What shop? I want one

BusterGonad · 27/08/2017 16:28

I like the first one (plum) but the third (gold) is also nice!

damekindness · 27/08/2017 16:28

Plum!

stumblymonkeyagain · 27/08/2017 16:33

@notangelinajolie littleblackdress.co.uk or Gatsby lady.com

DM says plum or gold but if pushed then gold...

So definitely looks like one of those two from the posts so far...

I love the plum but gold is a bit more "stand out"

VodkaRevelation · 27/08/2017 16:35

Plum or gold.

Maudlinmaud · 27/08/2017 16:37

Oh my word there are some beautiful dresses on that site, I'd never heard of them. Unfortunately I have no occasions coming up to order anything.

Bumblybumbly · 27/08/2017 16:38

I love the gold! Also that website is fabulous, thank you for sharing.

stumblymonkeyagain · 27/08/2017 16:42

@Maudlinmaud

I know...and I think very reasonably priced given that all the beading is done by hand. Hours of work on each of them!

RaynaJaymes · 27/08/2017 16:45

Another vote for gold. Lovely dress

GreenTulips · 27/08/2017 16:45

Can anyone else see a flaming fanny on the gold one?

Love the purple and black - you look stunning

MaryLennoxsScowl · 27/08/2017 16:46

Plum! The beading is a beautiful shape and more flattering than the others. They're lovely!
