So I ordered 2 new dresses for my work Christmas party both arrived this morning.

If I chose the pink one I would have to get some of those short style spanks as I am aware you can see my knicker style spanks chopping my thighs off!

Please excuse my slatten like mirror Blush

Black one

AnythingConsidered · 24/11/2018 11:26

I love the pink but that's because I love not wearing black! (& agree with your point about spanx).

I really like the back of the black one (assuming that is slightly baggy due to your arms being raised) but think if you're gonna show your tattoo, you should show it all!

So, after all that I would say black

TeenTimesTwo · 24/11/2018 11:27

I know nothing about this kind of thing.

But

I prefer the pink one as the other seems an odd length, neither long nor short. I'm also not a fan of half a tattoo showing as it does of the back of the other one.

Thebluedog · 24/11/2018 11:27

Both look lovely. I think the black one is a bit classier and I’d be more comfortable wearing that to a works xmas do. The red look more like a girls night out on the town (god I sound old 😂 )

Black one is stunning! Where is it from? Not that I could fit into it as I'm 30 weeks pregnant but maybe for next year!

Pinkyyy · 24/11/2018 11:29

I'd go with the pink one, it flatters your figure beautifully. The black one just doesn't seem to fit right at the back to me and doesn't do nearly as much for your shape. Plus the colour of the pink one is so different, I love it!

Charley50 · 24/11/2018 11:29

Black one is much more flattering and fits you better.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 24/11/2018 11:30

The black one is nice. Have people all seen the tattoo - because you will get asked about it loads after everyone has had a few drinks!

Haircutdilemma · 24/11/2018 11:32

All the point raised are what are making me indesicive.

I love the colour of the pink one. But not keen on how it clings to my fat bits (tummy).

I am unsure of the length on the black one but like the the fact it's more elegant.

The back of the black one is a cowl back not sure if that came across in the photo.

I like both (unhelpful !)
I like the length of the black but think a colour is nice for a change.

ScreamingValenta · 24/11/2018 11:35

The pink one for sure. The tailoring of the black one doesn't look ideal for your figure - it hugs you in some places and is loose in others. The pink one is also much funkier.

Lozzy25 · 24/11/2018 11:37

I love the black one on you 😊

Cherries101 · 24/11/2018 11:37

Black one looks better. The pink makes your body shape look entirely wrong.

LoniceraJaponica · 24/11/2018 11:38

I don't think the pink one is very flattering on you. The black looks much nicer.

You are very pretty BTW.

Both from ASOS @costacoffeecup

Black one is more flattering but is maybe a size too big? Looks a bit loose?

AdaColeman · 24/11/2018 11:40

Black

LostStars39 · 24/11/2018 11:41

Definitely pink, black one is okay but pink looks amazing on you. You look stunning! 😍

Chewbecca · 24/11/2018 11:43

Black

SillyPsychicAcid · 24/11/2018 11:47

Pink one. Shows you shape beautifully and the colour just lights you up.

I got a slip style control thing (called Torsolette) by Maidenform from Amazon to go under similar, it was about £20 reduced from £40--ish eat;ire in the week.

Immigrantsong · 24/11/2018 11:50

Am I the only one that doesn't like either? I don't think they flatter you at all OP. You have a cracking figure, yet both do nothing to enhance it. I am not a fan of strappy dresses either as they always make arms look massive.

bastardkitty · 24/11/2018 11:52

The black one is gorgeous and looks great on you.

Immigrantsong · 24/11/2018 11:52

I would recommend something with a bit of a sleeve and more of an a line/flared. This will skim your tummy and flatter your arms more. Pencil and straight skirts are very unflattering. A wrap dress, kimono style or skater would be so much better.

Ilovealexa · 24/11/2018 11:54

You look so lovely in both! I couldn’t decide.
