Which Dress for the Wedding

I am trying to help a friend choose a dress for a wedding in spain. These are the two choices. Personally I think the red is better. It sits better, it has a flattering neckline. The red will be worn with a lightweight matching cardigan if needed and I think red heels (I will post a separate link). What do the wise women of MN think?

The shoes!!!
❤️ Absolutely gorgeous! As for the dresses, they are both very flattering and I would actually wear the shoes with either.
So, I think it comes down to which feels the nicest for sitting, eating/ drinking and most importantly gliding around the dancefloor on a warm Spanish evening!!

Love the blue

They are both lovely but The Blue takes it to another level. You look taller, slimmer and it's more glamorous than the red. Really nice.

FrangipaniBlue · 24/07/2021 22:15

The shoes would look amazing with the blue dress!

Another vote for the blue dress here

I prefer the blue for an occasion. The red has a pinafore style about it.

KitKat1985 · 24/07/2021 22:24

I prefer the blue.

LostThings · 24/07/2021 22:26

I prefer the blue but both look good.

FlorenceandtheWashingMachine · 24/07/2021 22:30

Blue is best, but even better but with a well-fitted, uplifting bra to lengthen waist plus shoes minus an ankle strap to lengthen the legs. I am a similar shape, so I know they both do wonders Smile

Blue. I like the dress but am not sure about wearing bright red at a wedding.

cheesymarmite · 24/07/2021 22:35

The blue one.

WeWantAMackerelNotASprat · 24/07/2021 22:39

Blue! Looks lovely on you

GinasGirl · 24/07/2021 22:51

The blue looks great!

WimpoleHat · 24/07/2021 22:54

I much prefer the blue (although, to be fair, they’re both nice, wedding appropriate dresses, so you won’t go wrong with either one!)

BillyRaywasapreachersson · 24/07/2021 23:01

Blue. When you flick from one photo to the other it looks like 2 different women shape wise, it is much more slimming.
Hard no to the red shoes. Not good.

MunroBagger · 24/07/2021 23:02

Blue

Itsagrandoldteam · 24/07/2021 23:13

Definitely the blue, much more flattering and looks more elegant.

goose1964 · 24/07/2021 23:31

Like the others I prefer the blue but I think you need a new bra and shorten the straps. I bought new bras that actually fit and even after a few months my bike are not as high as they were.

Sunny4876 · 24/07/2021 23:33

I think the blue is the most flattering,although look lovely in both.

maddy68 · 24/07/2021 23:41

I like both. But depending on when the wedding is. It's unlikely you will need a cardi. It's around 40degree currently

Make sure it's a cool fabric

Guavafish · 25/07/2021 00:21

Red

TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams · 25/07/2021 00:35

Blue. Definitely.

Red with a bit of sunburn? Definitely blue! It's lovely

BungleandGeorge · 25/07/2021 00:50

Difficult to say without seeing your face but I suspect the red is a better colour on you. That shade of blue isn’t usually good on natural blondes.

quizqueen · 25/07/2021 00:55

Really don't like the red at all and it doesn't flatter your figure. Your hair looks nice though.
