My sister is getting married over the summer and a picture of this dress has popped up on my Facebook feed. The boutique it's in, is about a 40 minute drive from my house and going there will steal valuable child free time. Also it's 250 euro so not cheap. I love the colours.... The grey and lime and pretty and different. But I'm not sure about the pleats... I think they look gorgeous but worry they will be unflattering... I can't decide whether to waste my previous child free evening hunting down this dress or just let it go...

I don't like the second one. Not a fan of the bubblegum pink, or the massive corsage. It's not as usual either.

Don't like the second one, meh colour and dated style

No, the pink one isn't as nice.

I really don't like it - I can't imagine anyone it would flatter. I quite like the pink one, though.

The grey one would be hard to pull off. I've tried on similar as a curvy size 10 and my boobs looked enormous and hips looked ridiculous.

Oh I absolutely love it. With your colouring it'll be amazing. On me? Awful!
I'll live vicariously through you ha

As much as I wasn't keen on the first one, it's a million times better, more elegant and classier than that pink thing. The huge corsage and bubble gum pink really isn't good.

I like the first one. I think the soft grey is very classy and will look good with a tan,

Love it.

yougetwhatyougive · 24/02/2018 12:43

Sorry, love the first one. It's gorgeous.

AmysTiara · 24/02/2018 12:59

The first one is lovely.

The grey one did nothing for me but I love this and bought it.... It's peach and very comfy.. The black shoes were just there in the changing room and I'll wear nude patent heels... I love it... Thanks for all the help Smile

Oh lovely!

Madmarchpear · 24/02/2018 14:27

The first one by far. Looks expensive and well made. Will look great on somebody slim with dark hair.

Pooshweens · 24/02/2018 15:19

Gorgeous peach colour

RavenWings · 24/02/2018 16:16

Great choice!

rubyslippers83 · 24/02/2018 16:17

Love it! Smile

Dozer · 24/02/2018 16:19

Like the one you got, looks great!

manicandcrazy · 24/02/2018 18:29

Looks lovely Smile

ScreamingValenta · 24/02/2018 18:37

Really good choice - the colour is great on you and the dress looks very well cut.

Graphista · 24/02/2018 18:50

Thanks to everyone;) I bought a clutch bag and shoes as well... So did well.... I'm not quite sure the clutch bag is the right shade of pink though... So I might return if I see something nicer

I'm loving this shop with such pretty dresses - where is it please?

rogermooresfifthwife · 24/02/2018 20:36

Peach one is gorgeous, I liked the grey one but can imagine it was very unforgiving!
