Got a summer wedding to go to and cant decide between these 2 dresses. Have different shies/sandals I could wear and plan to buy bag/earrings etc (and pants that dont show through!). Thanks for your help.

You look amazing op! I can't believe you're 54. Not that that's old, but you do look fab for your age.

I second the "big ass hat" and standing like Angelina Jolie all day suggestions. If you go with the red which you definitely should Grin.

'Meh and lovely ' oxymoron!

@Fatkins where did you get that picture of me?

Dec2019mumtobe · 13/06/2019 13:11

Love them both but the red one is more wow

f83mx · 13/06/2019 13:12

Amazing figure! I much prefer the darker one though you look great in both.

Dec2019mumtobe · 13/06/2019 13:13

54??? I also thought you were 20s/30s!!!!!

It's actually ME! Not my best photo granted. I was having an off day 😂😂😂. We must be body twins, obvs.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 13/06/2019 13:31

Looking good sisterGrin

DeadBod · 13/06/2019 13:37

54! I thought that you were late 20's/early 30's. You have a lovely figure and they both look nice but the darker one has the edge for me.

Disfordarkchocolate · 13/06/2019 13:42

They are both very lovely on you. I think the red one judge edges it for me but if I saw the purple one with some statement jewellery I might change my mind.

0DimSumMum0 · 13/06/2019 13:46

I love the red one, it is stunning!

Deafdonkey · 13/06/2019 13:47

This is obviously a troll thread!

54!!!! I don't belive you 😂

AnneKipanki · 13/06/2019 13:51

I prefer the first one.

Ocies · 13/06/2019 13:53

The red dress is soooo NOT mumsy. See it [[https://www.oliverbonas.com/fashion/ditsy-print-red-midi-dress-241731 HERE]]

Ocies · 13/06/2019 13:54

I love the red dress.

neveradullmoment99 · 13/06/2019 13:55

Like the grey one. Its classy. Red one is meh. You have a lovely figure in both but the grey one is a much nicer style and shape.

neveradullmoment99 · 13/06/2019 13:59

The purply one [ I thought it was grey] is a beautiful shape. Honestly, the red one looks cheap and as if its out of Primark [ Nothing wrong with primark but the clothes are cheap in price]

neveradullmoment99 · 13/06/2019 14:01

How on earth can anyone possibly tell how old someone is without seeing someones face! I find that amazing.

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 13/06/2019 14:12

Love both but if weather is warm I’d go red as it’s a fresher look. Have fun x

Jarjarblinks · 13/06/2019 14:16

Red one. You look fab! Can I ask how tall you are? I want to buy the dress but I fear at 5ft 1 it might be too long

justilou1 · 13/06/2019 14:20

Red!!!!

GooodMythicalMorning · 13/06/2019 16:23

You've a gorgeous figure by the way.

SinglePringle · 13/06/2019 16:28

MUCH prefer the dark for a wedding.

The red dress is like something I would and do wear to work

BlueMerchant · 13/06/2019 16:30

Definitely purple one. Red is really lovely but possibly more casual summer picnic.

Kanga83 · 13/06/2019 16:50

I think the first one is stunning and classy. I'm not keen on the red one
