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.

The first one!

fufulina · 28/07/2018 22:38

Hands down the first one. Gorgeous.

AspireAchieve · 28/07/2018 22:41

Love shopping for others (just not for me!)

Smart and elegant.

The first is in better proportion to your body and looks comfortable as well as pretty - I think you could be pulling up the straps a bit on the second one as they don’t seem to sit squarely on your shoulder line.

Awrite · 28/07/2018 22:54

My first instinct was number 1 but now I'm a definite 2. It is beautiful. And goes better with the shoes.

Don't go out again. Different posters will have different opinions. Enough of us love dress 2. Smile

Botanicbaby · 28/07/2018 23:04

I prefer dress number 2 but not on you and def not with those shoes as the patterns/lines clash. You do suit dress 1 much better and it goes with the shoes more. I’d love it if I could look as good as that in either dress! Enjoy the wedding Smile

MollyHuaCha · 28/07/2018 23:19

They're both ok. But I prefer the two dresses suggested by AspireAchieve.

Featherstep · 28/07/2018 23:55

Sorry, agree with pp that neither is quite right but first one fits better.
The 2nd one is too puffy in the skirt, I know it's supposed to be puffed out but the cut just doesn't fit and makes you look much bigger than you are. Also too much cleavage. Not flattering (sorry!)

LoveInTokyo · 29/07/2018 00:06

I don’t think either dress is quite right for you but the first one is more flattering than the second one. You have a nice figure and the first dress shows it off, whereas the shape of the second dress is a bit matronly.

Automatic · 29/07/2018 00:08

Number one shows yr figure better. The second makes you look wide. Hopefully yr pulling it together with a red bag or navy bag and red accessory? Lightweight type if pashmina or something?

Baxdream · 29/07/2018 00:10

Second one for sure. It's more weddingy! Lovely dress and really suits you

myusernamewastakenbyme · 29/07/2018 00:12

Could anyone link the op's second dress for me pls...i love it...

verite · 29/07/2018 07:40

First one

sunshineseaside · 29/07/2018 08:17

Both look fab on you, you have a gorge figure! I would personally say number 2! Hope you have a lovely time x

lightonthewater · 29/07/2018 08:24

The navy one. The black one is not wedding appropriate.

neveradullmoment99 · 29/07/2018 08:30

The first one. I like the style of the second but it does look too long. Ot does show too much cleavage and because if the bottom looking big snd puffy and long you look bottom heavy.

Karcheer · 29/07/2018 08:45

Here is a link to the second one [[http://www.dorothyperkins.com/en/dpuk/product/chi-chi-london-navy-crochet-midi-skater-dress-7363376 link]]

The first one, definitely. I think it’s stylish and elegant on you. Definitely appropriate for a wedding. I’d add silver, rose gold or perhaps nude sandals and clutch - simple shapes.

Karcheer · 29/07/2018 09:12

I’ve been looking at other dresses this morning. I think I’m going to stick with the first one. I agree it’s maybe not 100% right, but nothing ever is... I was going to look for a red bag. But might order some navy shoes online and see what they look like.
It’s a week to go, so really not enough time for a complete change.
Thanks for all your thoughts\advise 🙂

Growingboys · 29/07/2018 09:12

First one. The second one adds half a stone to you!

Thebluedog · 29/07/2018 09:14

The first one

Hammondisback · 29/07/2018 09:14

...also think number 1 is much nicer than the ones suggested for you (no offence, Aspireachieve.) By the way, aren’t they both navy? Confused

Karcheer · 29/07/2018 09:19

Yes they are both Navy.
