Help me choose a dress

[MonsteraCheeseplant]

While the milestone party has been postponed until further notice, I have lost weight this lockdown, feeling fiiine and am fantasising/shooting the breeze.

So i'm tall (now!) slim with sizeable boobs, mid 30s. Buying all to return most still feels an eye wateringly expensive way of shopping and of course I'd rather be trying dresses on in a shop but there we are. I've just looked on The Outnet and John Lewis so any other ideas welcomed.

What do you think of these dresses?

Damsel in a dress

The first four are VERY glamorous. The last one is completely different to the others though?

I would only wear the first four to a very formal ball type of evening. The last one is more of a wedding or party dress?

Yeah they are drastically different aren't they! I guess I can't completely decide between the dark glam vs fun colourful.

They’re so different that I can’t tell which would be most appropriate for the party. Out of all the dark ones, the first is nicest.
It depends on the style of the party really...

I think they're all gorgeous!!

It's a black tie sit down dinner with friends and family.

In a private room of a fairly trendy bar/restaurant.

No 2 is stunning

The first is my favourite. It's totally glam though and would be over the top for anything but the dressiest of occasions.

My second favourite is the last dress. It's totally different to the first one, not as over the top glam but still really sexy. Gorgeous colours too.

I'm mid 30s and wouldn't wear any of them to this type of event. I think you would be very overdressed? Get something young and trendy?

First or last are lovely

Yeah i've struggled to find the perfect young and sexy dress. I've found a lot of high necked stuff and I really need v neck.
I do like glamour and tend to dress up to be fair.

I really liked the first & the fourth.

I'm with Morgan. I'm 44 and don't feel grown up enough for them. They are nice enough but I think a little dated. You clearly have a decent budget, I would look at:
AllSaints
Maje
Self Portrait
Ganni
The Vampire's Wife
Or this a bit gorgeous...

1-4 are all nice but I think you would be overdressed for a family dinner, even in a trendy restaurant. I am not keen on number 5.

Don't like 2 or 5.
Favourite is 1, then 4.
I dress up too but I think those are extremely ott for the event you describe.
I'm only jealous as I could neither afford or fit into them!

@PolloDePrimavera Vampires wife is a completely different budget range. Stunning stuff but clearly not the same....

Alex . Ok, thanks. Sales may be an option though.

I like the style of the last one the best (but wouldn't wear anything that bright because I love black too much). I am really not a fan of 1 - 4; they look like the kind of dresses that I wore to fancy balls when I was at uni. I'm mid thirties now and like to think I go to fancy/trendy restaurants quite often and would be far more likely to wear something like a leather skirt and blouse. All Saints is a good shout in terms of brands.

Number 2 (Adriana Papell) definitely. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.

Have you had a look at Needle & Thread? Their dresses are stunning!

Another vote for #2

#1 is gorgeous .... I love it !

I think the full length ones feel a bit corporate. Go for something a bit edgier or fun.

GoBack yes, gorgeous 👍

I'm mid 30's and think most of those dresses are lovely, but for older women .
