Another "Which Dress?" please for autumn wedding.

Family wedding in October has been scaled down to a registry office. No longer bridesmaid so need something to wear. Did a big Reiss order - only one worth thinking about.

Please can I have opinions on all of these - any any good? Or should I keep looking? Oh, and goes without saying please excuse hair - need a cut though thank heavens I no longer dye it

Dress 1 Pink - saw on another poster's thread. DD (14yo) thinks it is horrible and not my style, makes me look old and not right for an October wedding. I rather liked it..... I can see it would be a shock for DD as I am not normally a pattern person (think the grey curls + pattern = too much).

Dress 2 Teal/Green Reiss - in the sale. DD likes it. I feel rather lovely in it. But am not sure if I like it cos it makes me look slim. Clueless as to what shoes I would wear with it (hate heels).

Dress 3 - My old Boden summer party staple. Not sure if right for an Oct wedding though.

Help oh wise-ones please.

Dress 2

BacklashStarts · 03/07/2020 17:18

I actually like them all helpful but would go teal with silver ballet flats

mrscatalano · 03/07/2020 17:18

Definitely dress 2, the Reiss one. It looks lovely.
Dress 1 does nothing for you. 3 is ok but 2 is more interesting and a good choice for autumn.

mashpot · 03/07/2020 17:18

Dress 2 looks lovely. My favourite.

goldpendant · 03/07/2020 17:19

Dress 2 is great on you, but I like dress 3 best.... it's a bit more interesting, and incredibly flattering - you've a great figure! Id keep both 2 and 3!

ProperVexed · 03/07/2020 17:19

Dress 2 for me. Really flattering and dressy and super colour on you.

Sooobooored · 03/07/2020 17:19

I like the teal one best especially for the autumn.

Candleabra · 03/07/2020 17:19

I like the green one a lot. I didn't get beyond the colours of the other two, they really wash you out (brutal but honest, sorry).
The green colour is great and it looks lovely on you. Very much so.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 03/07/2020 17:20

Dress 2.

Dress one washes you out, and three is too summery casual.

goldpendant · 03/07/2020 17:20

Actually, having looked again at your skin and hair tone, 2 is more striking. And yes, real nice for autumn

belvitacrunch · 03/07/2020 17:20

I love number 2 - the teal one, it’s very classy and perfect for an autumn wedding. No 3 is lovely too but not sure if it’s right for a wedding. Not gone on no 1 at all sorry. BTW they all make you look slim though as you have a lovely figure!

peachypetite · 03/07/2020 17:21

Dress two, the teal/green hands down for a wedding.

Anna713 · 03/07/2020 17:21

Love the dark green dress . You look amazing in it. You would need heels though. I'm not sure what colour, maybe nude. Silver or bronze might look good too.

PAND0RA · 03/07/2020 17:22

I vote for the teal.

You look slim in all of them BTW. Sorry I agree with your DD about the pink one.

MrsMoastyToasty · 03/07/2020 17:22

Definitely the teal one. The pink one doesn't hang in a flattering way and the other one is a bit too casual.

whichteaareyou · 03/07/2020 17:22

I love tbem all! Number 2 is my fave for an autumn wedding but can you keep them all they're so so lovely on you!

OnDisplay · 03/07/2020 17:23

DD will be delighted you all agree with her.

The pink dress is sooooo pretty and floaty.

But you are right. It isn't doing much for my skin tone is it...

Candleabra · 03/07/2020 17:23

And you definitely don't need heels! They're so dated now. No idea what (I'd wear flat sandals but maybe not in autumn). But no, not the ubiquitous silver or nude heels.

Awrite · 03/07/2020 17:23

Dress 2 for an Autumn wedding.

Dress 3 is great too.

Don't like dress 1.

Spied · 03/07/2020 17:23

Love no.2. Beautiful style and perfect colour for autumn.
I also really like 3 but think it's more summery.
I'm with your DD on the pink one.

Atadaddicted · 03/07/2020 17:25

Teal is dull

Go with the primrose

ivykaty44 · 03/07/2020 17:30

kenandbarbie · 03/07/2020 17:31

I like green dress best. It's most appropriate for occasion, formal, the time of year and looks great on you!!!

Wear heels. I'd wear black with it. But I'm sure other colours would work.

BobbyTheVet · 03/07/2020 17:32

You look fantastic in 3, though it might not be wedding-y. 2 is great
