Which dress (if any!)

28 replies

I have my DN’s christening to attend next month and could do with your help on choosing a dress.

Can I ask your opinions on the 5 dresses attached?

Unfortunately, I’m a bit of a short arse, so they might all look daft on me if they can’t be altered, but just wondering on general opinion and if I should bypass any of them completely, e.g. not christening appropriate.

Thanks

I like the 2nd and 3rd.

I'd go light for a christening Especially in summer as its generally a wholey day time thing.

Depends on your figure really, . 3 is fine if your slim but would avoid with a tummy. 4 and 5 are lovely, I'd buy 5

Definitely prefer the lighter colours for a summer christening. If you have a similar figure to the model than I’d go with number 3. Otherwise 5 gets my vote.

Growingboys · 24/06/2018 00:32

Not the dark one. All wrong for a summer christening.

indisdress · 24/06/2018 00:33

Thanks all! I’m a 10, by the belly has good days and bad days Grin Working hard on that though.

I really like number 2. Would it be okay for an October wedding do you think??

MyKingdomForBrie · 24/06/2018 00:35

Number 3 I think, definitely not 1.

TroubledLichen · 24/06/2018 00:36

Number 2 for an autumn wedding would be lovely! It’s actually my favourite of them all but (in my opinion) the dark colour just isn’t quite right for a summer christening.

Tropicana123 · 24/06/2018 00:36

Number 4 is my fav

MorningCuppa · 24/06/2018 00:42

5

Freyanna · 24/06/2018 01:18

I like 2 for the October wedding, and 3 for the Christening.

mickeymacca · 24/06/2018 08:36

5 is the best

Jaimx86 · 24/06/2018 08:39

5 is lovely!

letsdolunch321 · 24/06/2018 08:41

5 is very flattering

BlueKittens · 24/06/2018 08:45

5

PizzaAndChips · 24/06/2018 08:49

I like them all but agree with light colours for summer christening. However if you want to double up and wear it in October, too, 3 or 4 may work quite well due to the black waistband. Team it up with a grey (is that the background print colour?) blazer for the wedding... not that you asked for extra ideas Hmm

flumpybear · 24/06/2018 09:02

I like 2&5

Mammatron · 24/06/2018 09:06

I love love love (can you tell how much I love it?!) 5 for a christening but not for an October wedding

snufflehuff · 24/06/2018 10:42

If you want to wear a dark dress in the summer, bloody well go for it. Screw protocol. Do what you want. There is no right or wrong.

SleepFreeZone · 24/06/2018 10:45

No. 2 and the last one.

Madbengalmum · 24/06/2018 10:45

5 is the only one of those i would consider, very appropriate for the christening.

HildaZelda · 24/06/2018 12:00

I like the short dark one.

indisdress · 24/06/2018 12:55

Lots of votes for number 5. Which I was afraid of, because it will probably look far too long on me and it can’t be altered Sad

Wildlingofthewest · 24/06/2018 12:58

2,4 or 5

The 1st one is horrible

IrisApfelRocks · 24/06/2018 14:15

Out of those choices I like 1 and 3 best
