Am I too fat for this dress?

As title. Fairly sure I am, plus not sure I'm brave enough to pull off the colour but I would love to be able to wear it (bought for me- I would never even look at this in a shop)

Excuse crap photo, only full length mirror in the house

I would say it’s not particularly flattering. You need at least one size bigger.

I think red really suits you. The style of the second dress looks great on you (I love a black dress though and shy away from bright colours due to confidence I think, so that might be me projecting a little). Because you're curvy in the right places I like the way the red one fits around the bust and agree with the others who've said that if it was maybe a size up or cut slightly differently it would look great. Red is def a colour you should consider I reckon.

...I wish my boobs hadn't gone all tennis balls in a sock post small people!...

A size bigger wouldn't necessarily solve the issue of how it sits. While it might fit some areas better ,it might be too big/sit weirdly in others.

I have that issue sometimes depending on cut and the garment. Fits belly and boobs,too loose at armpits/shoulders. Fits legs/bum too tight around the belly and so on.

I love the color of the first but I don´t think the shape is flattering (although it is hard to be sure from the photo). The second dress is a much better shape on you and looks really good.

The black one makes you look half the size. It's great!

The black one is a keeper. Its lovely on you.

I would also look for more dresses like the second one in nice vibrant colours.

You look lovely in both. The colour of the first dress is really nice, and the shape of the second dress shows off your waist nicely. For a graduation I would wear the second dress as you look a bit more comfortable in it. Maybe keep the second dress as a 'going out' dress.

I can't open the pictures but lots of people are mentioning shapewear is needed. If that's the case go for a different dress, who needs to be squashed and sweaty.
