Which dress for a wedding?

[ninnypoo]

Hi everyone,

I have my DPs cousins wedding on Saturday and need help choosing between two dresses.

Option a- orange dress- was £5 in the sale so absolute bargain however is a thin material so I will need to wear big pants and will probably be a bit self conscious of my tummy however I could cope if it genuinely doesn't look too bad

Option b- black and white- was £70. I can afford it but feel guilty about the price although I will wear it again on holiday

I'm all set to return the expensive dress and wear the orange one but I'm paranoid that my hips/tummy will look big and maybe I should wear something floatier?

Anyway opinions would be great please! Thanks!

Yup orange all the way! You look lovely.

The orange one for sure. It looks very glamorous and shows off your figure. The other one is dowdy and frumpy looking on you.

Orange one, but different shoes

The orange one 😊

Orange one & no need for big pants! Looks fab as is.

Other one is a lovely dress but doesn't do you justice.

The orange one is gorgeous on you - please wear heels! You'll look fab and have a great time.

Return the black & white one, it does nothing for you (and will save you £70!)

thanks all- I guess it's pretty unanimous! Interestingly when I showed friends the black dress from a more flattering angle they preferred it but I'm going to make the most of saving £70!

Heels aren't an option I'm afraid as a) I'm 5'11 so don't really 'do' heels in general and b) i have my heart set on having one fancy function with DP where I don't tower over him! Will keep an eye out for some nice flats though.

Thanks for all the advice and compliments- feeling a lot better about myself now

Orange, definitely! You look amazing in it.

I know you have already decided but oh my gosh that first dress looks beautiful - even at weird angle!

By the way for anyone who likes the orange dress- it's currently £5 in the sale at Primark so get it while you can

Definitely orange, I think the black and white one ages you quite a lot.

Orange one is gorgeous on you, v flattering, and looks expensive!

I can see that dress 2 is the nicer dress, but dress 1 suits you so much more. And it’s more wedding guesty. AND it’s better with flats than dress 2.

Orange one is more fun and celebratory. You look great.

Orange looks better and is fine. You look depressed in the black and white with your body language).

Invent in some no VPL pants?

Agree - orange makes you look like a sexy young thing whereas the 2nd one is a bit matronly aunt

You don't have a tummy to speak of - once you've got some bubbles down you just remember all these comments and rock it x

Going against the grain, I like the black and white one!! Where's it from!?

Definitely the orange one, 100%, looks lovely

The orange one is lovely & flattering (and I don't usually like orange )
The other dress makes you look middle aged and much bigger tbh

Definitely the orange one, it looks lovely and the colour is fab. Without offending, the black and white one really doesn't look great, although may be the angle ( if you still have tags on get your 70quid back if you can, only meant in a nice way Not being horrible )

I know you have already decided but just to chime in, you look about 3 sizes bigger in the black and white - your figure looks fab in the orange! Different shoes required though.

Orange hands down

Orange! And I can't see a tummy, but a great figure!

Love the orange one!
