Which dress for office Christmas party?

Tootytata · 09/12/2019 22:26

I'm a size 18 after having a baby 15 months ago. I have to admit that I'm struggling with my body shape. Nothing looks right on me Sad

I have purchased these 3 dresses. Which one do you think will be best for the office Christmas party? (I'm waiting for 2 of them to arrive). Tried the Quiz black one. It was nice but felt slightly frumpy around the middle...at certain angles thought I looked pregnant in it! I'm just not sure. I even thought about not going to the party! But then I thought...how silly...just because of a dress?!

The first one is lovely

Redwinestillfine · 09/12/2019 22:29

Definitely go. Just try them all and see which you feel most comfortable in. Do you have an old favourite as back up?

Seaweed42 · 09/12/2019 22:32

I love the black one, I think you would get plenty of wear out of it too. If you wear an eye catching necklace, like chunky silver or a choker maybe, it draws the eye away from tummy area.
Once you have the make up on etc you will feel fab!

I like the 1st or the 3rd, but I'm a 3 yr old dressing up at heart so I think the point of Christmas is sparkles ☺️

jelly79 · 09/12/2019 22:37

First one! Definitely go and feel gorgeous 😘

sableandI · 09/12/2019 22:41

3rd one

Makemeaname · 09/12/2019 22:42

Given that I'm currently stuck between bulging out of this, or wearing a black dress I've worn to work a few times, not sure my opinion counts for much.

Black one is my favourite but only if you feel comfortable in it. Middle doesn't scream christmas but is also nice. Silver I wouldn't wear myself, but if you have the right colouring it could look gorgeous.

PurpleDaisies · 09/12/2019 22:42

I like the silver one, then the black one. Not keen on the middle one.

Shockers · 09/12/2019 22:42

I’d go for the first.

Anoisagusaris · 09/12/2019 22:45

Black one is lovely.

Silver isn’t my cup of tea at all.

hairyxmasturkey · 09/12/2019 22:47

Black or silver, definitely not 2.

Ginfordinner · 09/12/2019 22:48

I like the black one. The pink one is awful - sorry.

I like the one you already have as well.

Tootytata · 09/12/2019 22:50

Seaweed42 - does wearing a necklace really draw the eyes away from the tummy area? Will a necklace look nice with the v neck dress?

Sounds like nobody likes the pink one?! I saw the video on ASOS and it actually moves better than it looks in photos!

Makemeaname - you will look lovely 😊 at least you have feminine curves. My shape is just round!

Err no sorry, the second one is not suitable for a Xmas party, it’s more summer wedding. I actually like the silver, the black is so boring

ZenNudist · 09/12/2019 22:56

Love the black one. Silver nice could look stunning not a fan of red and white

mrsfollowill · 09/12/2019 23:17

Why not give this a try www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_012010525556_-1 I'm an 18/20 and found this very flattering - it looked better on me than this model Grin Grin with black opaques, high heeled boots and black leather jacket.

Snog · 10/12/2019 00:36

Number two is my fave OP

incognitomum · 10/12/2019 00:57

Black

AliciaMayEmory · 10/12/2019 07:01

I love the silver one, very Christmassy! The black is also lovely. I wouldn’t wear the pink, but only as the colour isn’t very seasonal.

lexiepuppy · 10/12/2019 08:51

Silver for Christmas would look greatGrin.
I also like the black, which is a great option.
Not keen on the middle one.

nzeire · 10/12/2019 09:58

thingsgetbetterf · 10/12/2019 10:00
