Which dress (If any) for a hen do?

I need help...
Which of these dresses (or none of them) for a hen do. I am a curvy (size 18) 40 something and don't want to look too frumpy next to the slim younger women who are also going.
It's in Chester, meal and nice bars.
Thank you

I like 2. But it's the shoes... You're not wearing those shoes?

windygallows · 20/03/2019 18:27

Agree about 2. Why not wear with tights which might give you a cleaner up down line.

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 20/03/2019 18:27

The middle one looks good on you - shows off your curves but flattering

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 20/03/2019 18:28

I agree the shoes aren’t good with it though

Littlepond · 20/03/2019 18:29

I love the middle one you look lovely

coffeeandchoc · 20/03/2019 18:29

No will be getting other shoes, but those are the only heels I have at the moment.

2nd dress
Burn the shoes

Hollowvictory · 20/03/2019 18:31

2nd dress
Not the shoes

EngagedAgain · 20/03/2019 18:37

Definitely 2nd dress. Not sure about shoes.

Ellapaella · 20/03/2019 18:38

Out of the 3 I like number 2 best. I also think your figure would really suit something like a pencil skirt (maybe a leather one?) with a pretty blouse tucked in - worn with some heels (but not those ones) or ankle boots with a heel.

itssquidstella · 20/03/2019 18:43

The second one is nice.

nzborn · 20/03/2019 18:43

1 or 2 but not 3

sparklefarts · 20/03/2019 18:45

What's wrong with the shoes?? Blush

Also, OP, I like all of these! 2 is the best tho. Where are they from?

Leobynature · 20/03/2019 18:46

3

Leobynature · 20/03/2019 18:47

Duh I meant 2

Widowodiw · 20/03/2019 18:49

I’m sorry I’m not eager on any. I think you’d look even better in a pencil dress style with brighter colours. Take a look at lady v pencil style dressers or pretty kitty.

pinkcardi · 20/03/2019 18:50

I think no 2 looks lovely on you, and is v nice indeed. You can't go wrong with black and cut is flattering.

coffeeandchoc · 20/03/2019 18:51

Sparklefarts they are from next but in the clearance section (Not keen on spending too much), and I like the shoes, but did realise that they donrwork with these dresses, but wasn't expecting quite so much hate towards them Grin

#2 looks fab on you.

coffeeandchoc · 20/03/2019 18:54

Widowodiw I like pencil style but not confident enough at my size at the moment to wear one.

Hen nights are supposed to be fun- do you have anything with a bit of colour or sparkle?

StuntCroissant · 20/03/2019 18:54

Sorry they all look a bit corporate to me. No.2 if you had to pick one though.

Burn the shoes!!!!

WildFlower2019 · 20/03/2019 18:56

You look lovely in all three but #2 is my favourite. Think I'd have to wear with a bright pair of heels though x

Redcrayons · 20/03/2019 18:57

The shape of the middle ones suits you better, but I prefer the colour of the third one.

The shoes fall into the 'ok for work' zone.

coffeeandchoc · 20/03/2019 18:59

Pinkyyy dress one has a silver glitter pattern all over it, and 3 has a slight glitter through it. Only 2 is completely black
