Work Christmas do - would need to add a couple of stitches so it at least covers my bra but not sure how well it would then sit.

Grey tights - yay or nay? Dress is bright red, would black be better?

Assuming my burgundy ankle boots are out so planning on looking for a black pair in the week.

Will I look ok or do I need to go back to the drawing board - roast me please, would prefer it here than at the party.

The simply be one is fab!

@Noviceoftheweek, what do you actually hope to achieve by posting that? Just making yourself feel better at someone else's expense?

MyHairNeedsASnip · 15/12/2019 19:34

The colour is marvellous on you! And the shape is good too.

A black cami, some opaque tights and a great bra?

Do you feel beautiful in it? That's all that matters really.

MynameisJune · 15/12/2019 19:36

@Noviceoftheweek totally uncalled for, just don’t comment if you can’t say anything nice

OP have you looked on ASOS, some lovely dresses. Not keen on the high neck one you posted, it will give you uni-boob

Post a picture of your other dress sometimes evening accessories can ‘ lift ‘ a dress
If not then you can rule it out and start ordering 👍

Makemeaname · 15/12/2019 20:37

No picture of me wearing it but this is the other dress @pajamagirl. Its comfy and fits me decently but just feels so boring and like I'm not making an effort.

Honesty please - can I wear this?

Heels and wow jewellery would lift it .... have it as your back up
What have you ordered ? ( pls say the green one )

Makemeaname · 15/12/2019 21:10

@pajamagirl the quiz one? Haven't ordered anything yet but tempted to go for the quiz and the yours one.

Order them ,, then decide

shinynewapplesonachristmastree · 15/12/2019 22:34

I like the black Next dress you posted. Perhaps you could order a couple and return if no good?

TrickyKid · 15/12/2019 22:41

I'd get the next size up. I don't think there's enough fabric to put a stitch in it. Looks nice other than being a bit small.

Makemeaname · 15/12/2019 22:48

Ordered the green quiz, flowery yours and "boring" black one to collect on tuesday. Hopefully one of them is good or it'll be the old classic getting yet another outing

I like the black one from DP

SpeckledyHen · 16/12/2019 07:44

With your colouring the flowery Yours one should look knock-out on you . Do come back and update us :)

Bluesheep8 · 16/12/2019 11:50

noviceoftheweek what an inability to read a simple instruction, she's asking for your opinion on THE DRESS!!

Makemeaname · 16/12/2019 15:56

@managedmis that's my backup option, I like it but this party is an excuse to spend money on clothes so I want something new haha

SpeckledyHen · 17/12/2019 20:38

Any luck with the dresses OP ?

Makemeaname · 17/12/2019 20:46

This is the only one I liked of the 3 dresses I got today. 90% sure I'm going to go for it, although my mates are dressing for a night out so I might be a bit overdressed.

Thinking just black boots, black tights and a black cardigan?

Honesty please - can I wear this?

Loopytiles · 17/12/2019 20:53

Like that one, especially the colour.

Runningonempty84 · 17/12/2019 20:55

Can we see the others, OP?

rosieposies · 17/12/2019 20:59

Ahh love that OP, really glad you went for that one 👍🏻

Srictlybakeoff · 17/12/2019 22:30

That’s lovely - much nicer

SpeckledyHen · 17/12/2019 22:55

Great choice.

Makemeaname · 17/12/2019 23:17

@Runningonempty84 the green dress I couldn't even work out how to get it on and the fabric felt awful so no photo there. And the black dress was very low cut, any pics would be indecent!
