I need to pick a dress for my brothers wedding.
I’m not sure which I prefer.

Which one do you think I look better in?
Thank you.

If I am brutally honest - I would agree and say neither is quite right.

Something with a sleeve would be better.

Karcheer · 28/07/2018 21:21

I’ve only got a week till the wedding and I’ve literally looked at loads. I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself to find the right dress :( and these were the best I could find.

Interesting it's so split! I think first one, looos lovely. second is nice but looks like it needs to be a size smaller and is a bit low cut for my liking.

Sorry OP but your toes look squished in the shoes.

FaFoutis · 28/07/2018 21:23

the second one

sonicshoegazes · 28/07/2018 21:25

Dress 1-shows off your figure and is definitely more flattering.

lunatunes · 28/07/2018 21:25

You look great in both but I would say the first one is more flattering and I would wear a different colour shoe.

Bluntness100 · 28/07/2018 21:28

The first one is defintely more flattering, your figure looks fantastic in it.

The second one drowns you, and makes you look a lot larger, it also hides your figure. It does you no favours.

Go with the first one,

Hangingaroundtheportal · 28/07/2018 21:29

I think the polarisation on this thread shows that whatever anyone wears ever, someone won't like it! I think you look lovely in both actually, but probably prefer the second one.

RumTiTum · 28/07/2018 21:30

You look amazing in both! Think second one just pips it for me, looks a bit more summery.

Hueandcry · 28/07/2018 21:34

I love the 1st one on you

brownbananainthebowl · 28/07/2018 21:36

Definitely the second one 👌👌

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/07/2018 21:37

I really like those red shoes with the second dress. I think you need a little jacket of some sort though, to wear for the actual ceremony.

Knittedfairies · 28/07/2018 21:38

Definitely the halter neck - the other makes you look a bit bottom-heavy.

IdblowJonSnow · 28/07/2018 21:39

Definitely the second! First is a bit unflattering how the armpit area is cut - would be on anyone. Not keen on the red shoes! Would go nude or metallic, they are a bit clumpy looking. To me the second one is definitely weddingy and suits you well.

Coolhotsummer · 28/07/2018 21:40

Another vote for the first one.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/07/2018 21:40

It's pretty obvious that the volume in the second dress is dress, not bottom!

bastardkitty · 28/07/2018 21:40

Definitely the second one!

WindDoesNotBreakTheBendyTree · 28/07/2018 21:41

Second is a much more elegant dress, the first is a bit of an ageing cut- even though your figure looks uh-mayyzing

I like the shoes!

goose1964 · 28/07/2018 21:42

The first, really shows off your hourglass figure

Hooleywhipper · 28/07/2018 21:42

Number one

hairylegsonshow · 28/07/2018 21:42

Sorry, but I don't think either of these are quite right - something about the straps/top half of both of them isn't very flattering. I hate shopping for wedding clothes so feel your pain!

What about this?

DeadBod · 28/07/2018 21:43

1st one makes you look top heavy.
2nd one is more flattering on you.
I like the pop of colour with the shoes.

SpectacularAardvark · 28/07/2018 21:49

Definitely the second one imo.

pieceofpurplesky · 28/07/2018 21:58

You have an amazing figure and I love the shoes but I really don't like either dress sorry.

They say more 'ladies day at the races' than wedding.

pieceofpurplesky · 28/07/2018 21:59

And I love the one @hairylegsonshow has linked to
