Is this dress too much?

[newshoooooes]

I'm going to a 40th birthday next weekend and don't really want to buy anything new. I bought this dress for an Xmas night a couple
of years ago. Is it too much for a birthday party, especially of someone I don't really know? Party is in a really nice hotel.

Thanks!

The second is much classier and more 'natural' if that makes sense? Looks like you just threw it on a look gorgeous in it!

They're both lovely but the second one is absolutely beautiful. Definitely the second one.

It’s lovely not too much at all

It's fab! You could blame it up more with some sparkly shoes maybe?

First one is better IMO. Second one is too 'safe'

I shouldn't have posted again 🙈 I'm going to have to stick with the original. Tried it on again and it holds me in better. I'm pretty bloated today and in the second one I can see my bellybutton outline Plus I have a couple of little spots on my chest, so the first one hides those.

Thank you anyway!

It’s lovely. If you don’t want to make it a bit less dressy you could put on black tights underneath and wear heeled ankle / shoe boots.

I really love the 2nd one, green velvet is right up my street.

I think I might be the only person to notice, but I can see your knickers in the first dress ( it’s probably the flash from the camera, but something to be aware of if it’s the kind of event where pictures will be taken.)

They are both lovely and each looks great on you, so you wear whichever one you feel most comfortable in and it’ll be grand! 👍👍

@CalmFizz that's just shadow. The dress is fully lined and I had on nude cycle shorts type pants

Stunning.

They both look lovely! I think I prefer the first one... Have a great time!

I think two has the edge in winteryness. Both lovely dresses.

Second dress, I love it. I have seen it on a different thread- what is the sizing like?

It's lovely and you look great in it. As well you know!

Ooh missed the second one. Same applies but I prefer the first.
