To a wedding in a couple of weeks' time? I've just bought it and now less sure - has anyone used Wolf & Badger much, and do sizes come up as the measurements say?

@Vohgue

I like both. The first pink one will definitely suit you as long as the neckline sits well. Could you please tell me where the second pink dress is from?
It's from the Next website.

From your previous postings you have good legs so don’t obscure them with dress number 2.
Perhaps you can post pics once they arrive?

HuntingoftheSnark · 17/06/2021 08:26

@AnneKipanki very kind but I do have that wrinkled knee look so prefer to keep them covered! And I will post photographs, as I know I'll have brutal honesty on here.

How are the dresses?

newnortherner111 · 19/06/2021 09:53

I like it. I don't like the trend for bare shoulders, and it seems a length that could suit anyone.

OverByYer · 19/06/2021 09:54

It’s very Mother of the Bride. Nice but dull. That colour pink is insipid

Laurie01 · 19/06/2021 10:10

Have you looked at Closet London?

You look fantastic in both!! I marginally prefer the red layered one, you look like the dancing lady emoji

Need different shoes though

Vohgue · 19/06/2021 13:19

Love your new hair. I think I like the pale pink but you look gorgeous in both.

giletrouge · 19/06/2021 13:27

You look gorgeous in both. The pale pink enhances your colouring and shape slightly better I think but you really do look lovely.

Tavannach · 19/06/2021 13:28

I prefer the second one - I like the length better and the colour looks great on you. The pink one is elegant but the shoulders are just a bit fussy.

CommanderBurnham · 19/06/2021 13:29

Both look lovely but I prefer the second one.

HuntingoftheSnark · 19/06/2021 13:34

You are very kind.
The second one is huge - an inch to spare each side on top, so I would maybe get a smaller size. I think I prefer it as it's so unlike me. First one is very much my normal wedding attire.
And I never have a clue about shoes ....

Second one definitely

ZaraW · 19/06/2021 14:27

Another vote for the second one the colour really suits you and it's more modern. The first one looks a bit dated. You look fab.

EllaPaella · 19/06/2021 14:43

Love them both but absolutely adore number 2 @HuntingoftheSnark

Benediction · 19/06/2021 14:49

Second one. It's making you smile.

Sickoffamilydrama · 19/06/2021 14:52

Waves to @Sooverthemill, @EllaPaella & @HuntingoftheSnark

You look fabulous in everything your figure is amazing but agree with Ella the darker pink is gorgeous will look fabulous with a wide fascinator or hat.

AnneKipanki · 19/06/2021 14:57

I like them both .
I prefer the second one .

worktrip · 19/06/2021 17:11

Beautiful provided you are slim. Definitely need very close fitting underwear though.

Temp023 · 19/06/2021 17:12

I think it’s stunning!

AmperoBlue · 19/06/2021 17:27

@HuntingoftheSnark

Hello! We private messaged each other before my wedding a few years back. I’m still married (still ambivalent). I think that would suit you well although you’d look amazing in anything with your figure.

I’ve got a wedding too. It’s DH nephew. I’ve ordered this although it’s taking ages to arrive;

Plain and the same colour as your choice.Grin

AmperoBlue · 19/06/2021 17:31

Oh sorry, see you have a second choice too!
Second one is more current. Lots of scope to wear on again too.

HuntingoftheSnark · 19/06/2021 17:49

@AmperoBlue hello! How lovely to see you and yes, I've had a name change too. Love your dress and as PPs said, that colour looks better on your colouring. Your figure is gorgeous!!

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to comment. The second dress doesn't come in a smaller size so would have to be ok. As I'm going there with DD, I will need her acceptance if not approval - I know I'm not supposed to use the word "mutton" but the wedding has been moved from from two weeks' time to the end of August. In fact, my 52nd birthday and the place will be full of very gorgeous 30 somethings. So still thinking about it - but really appreciate the comments.
