which dress?

Another one of those threads but I really need an opinion.

I'm going to a Muslim Lebanese evening wedding and so I need a dress that's both conservative and looks good on me.
Arms are fine to be on display however I have massive arms so I tend to hide them anyway.
We were told to wear what we wanted either way but I would like a maxi anyway as I rarely show a lot of skin plus I want to be respectful of the culture and family.

Dress 1 looks good on me but it's a bit too sexy in my opinion.
Dress 2 makes me look fatter than I am but I like it and it's the perfect shape length and has full sleeves to hide my arms.
Honest opinions and just so you know I'm aware I have lumps and bumps showing but I will be wearing spanx on the day so I'll look flatter and in better shape.
3x c sections = a huge mum tumSad but that will be tucked away on the day Grin.

If anyone has any other recommendations I'm happy to give them a look.

Agree, send dress two back though

messyhousetidymind · 09/01/2019 22:39

3 all the way

parrotfashionista · 09/01/2019 22:39

Oooh dress 3 is perfect Smile

Viviene · 09/01/2019 22:40

I agree, dress three.

CharlyAngelic · 09/01/2019 22:40

Agree. Wear 3 . Keep 1 . Ditch 2z

Percy11 · 09/01/2019 22:42

Agree with everyone else. Defo keep dress 1, you look fabulous in it. But probably not right for this event. Dress 2 = no. Dress 3 = perfect!!

Stormwhale · 09/01/2019 22:45

3 is perfect!

IamAporcupine · 09/01/2019 22:50

Love dress 3!

MakeTeaNotWar · 09/01/2019 22:53

Bigonesmallone3 · 09/01/2019 23:00

Dress 3 for this event..
Dress 1 is lovely! Must keep!
Dress 2 send it back..
U have a lovely figure

Screamqueenz · 09/01/2019 23:03

Agree with absolutely everyone else, dress three for the wedding, don'tyou dare give one back, you look amazing in it, (in fact throw a black tie party just to have an excuse to wear it), dress two isn't right, send it back.

whatsnewchoochoo · 09/01/2019 23:07

Ooh yes 3 is lovely!

laramara · 09/01/2019 23:11

Number 3 is perfect, you look great!

WowserBowser · 09/01/2019 23:18

Nailed it with dress 3 👍

HappyLazzer · 09/01/2019 23:20

I think you look gorgeous in all 3 dresses but dress 3 is definitely the winner.

LoniceraJaponica · 09/01/2019 23:20

Another vote for dress 3. It is perfect.

DrinkSangriaInThePark · 09/01/2019 23:21

Dress 3 but DO NOT RETURN dress 1, it's absolutely gorgeous on you!

AtrociousCircumstance · 09/01/2019 23:22

So you have to let us know where dress 1 and dress 3 are from! Grin

jenelleyg · 09/01/2019 23:23

Thank you everyone. I'll keep dress 1 and dress 3 and definitely sending dress 2 back.
I was beginning to think I'd just have to cancel and stay home, I never find it easy to find clothes that flatter me (damn hips!).
At 30 I still need to learn how to dress for my shape.

Dress 3 is amazing 😍

jenelleyg · 09/01/2019 23:24

Theyre all from Asos, all in the sale now. Doubt anyone will be buying dress 2 though now Blush although I'm sure it would suit someone taller and slimmer.

User5trillion · 09/01/2019 23:26

I have just looked through 2000 dresses on asos to find dress no 1 and I can't find it 😢😢😢. You look stunning in it op

RomanticFatigue · 09/01/2019 23:27

Wow, you kept your trump card to the end there OP! Dress 3 is perfect, I love it!

myname666 · 09/01/2019 23:31

Dress 3 is PERFECT!!!!!
Dress 1 is smoking hot and gives you a good reason to find an occasion to wear it.
Dress 2 is totally unflattering on you.
