Which Dress?

[ShrikeAttack]

I want a new dress for Spring, to re-enter the world with, but am torn between these two. I'm 5'8 size 10/12. Which one to get?

Dress 1, I think I prefer this dress, but I don't know if I'll get as much wear from it. I do really like it though.

Dress 2, probably more practical, may wear it more, and do like it very much.

Or should I just go mad and get dress 3?

Happy for any other suggestions. Maybe I'll just get all three and decide then!

I cant imagine where you'd wear any of them for general 'spring' attire!

But I do love the third. Go for it!

I'm going to wear it out for lunch at the swankiest place I can get my hands on after the 12th of April @IdblowJonSnow.

I find myself getting glammed-up to go to Waitrose these days, I'm not holding back when I can go legitimately 'out'.

I lulled myself to sleep last night with visions of wearing it floating around Harvey Nics followed by a boozy lunch. That's my first plan!

Oh @ShrikeAttack that sounds fabulous, although I genuinely felt sad imagining you going for fancy lunches and swanning around Harvey nicks wearing this fabulous dress... accessorised with a face mask 😷😩😂

Green one is a great colour - bonus points for being washable.

Bollox, that wasn't in my fantasy! I think I can probably take the mask off for lunch.

I've got a nice silk one anyway!

No 3 is stunning!

Finally got it!

It's a bit big round the hips and waist in the larger size (am classic inverted triangle), but I LOVE it, I think I'll get it taken in, (there's a fantastic local woman that does alterations).

It's actually a bit less full-on that it looks on the website, I'd certainly wear it around and about.

Sorry for the rubbish selfies, it's VERY HARD to take a decent full-length photo.

It looks a bit baggy round the waist but I think I'll just get it nipped in a bit as it's not actually as full as the website would have you believe!

Also, excuse my very red bedroom carpet, we inherited it with the house, it's going soon!

The first 2 are rather boring.

Dress 3 is absolutely gorgeous and if I could pull it off I'd wear it all day long, every day! ♥️

I don't like No.1, I do like No.2 and think it could be accessorised up or down and I LOVE No.3!

Delighted you bought it and it looks fab on you OP but it looks like you have the figure to wear anything! I hope you enjoy yourself immensely on your first outing in it

I was going to say 3, as it looks the most joyous and glorious.
Then I saw your pics!
It’s lovely. It doesn’t look baggy around the waist. Appreciate you took selfies which may not reflect what it actually looks like, but from that pic it looks like it fits very well. And it certainly fits your brief!
I’d wear it with a leather biker jacket and trainers.
Or an oversized jumper / cardigan.
It’s fab! 👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice !
I was going to say 3 ! It really suits your colouring.

I think the first 2 would drain you .

Looks fab, good health to wear!

That looks gorgeous! What a great find. A much nicer green than it looks on the website too.

It's a lovely colour.

3 obv

The other 2 are identical and don’t scream “fresh out of lockdown”

@ShrikeAttack it looks beautiful and far better on you than on the website! It's somehow more wearable and less full-on as you say.

Beautiful dress for spring/summer, I hope you enjoy wearing it 🌻

I'm LOL at "screams fresh out of lockdown" it certainly does

Love it OP, it looks much more fitted on you, on the model I feared it may be a bit shapeless. Colour is absolutely gorgeous, thinking I may purchase for a day event I’ve got in May.

It looks gorgeous on. You're rocking it

The first isn't very spring-y (and I'm not sharp I'm apprehensive). The subsequent one is exquisite however

1 was beautiful
3 was stunning
2 was meh

1 and 2 look like winter dresses. 3 is lovely but where would you wear something so flamboyant? Be lovely for a wedding

Can no one see the @ShrikeAttack pictures!!!!???

Love the dress. Well done. Good choice.
