Which dress?

So, I have a rather lovely and very extravagant wedding to attend next month. It’s quite expensive to stay so I’ve decided to be more frugal with outfits and reuse a dress a have. So my choices are:

Lace top dress, with midi length pleated skirt bottom in a peach colour. It’s a beautiful dress but it’s very erm ‘meadowy’ if you know what I mean. Wouldn’t go amiss with a flower crown style although I’m looking at a lovely flower slider in my hair instead.

The other is a pencil dress, bright yellow but not garish. Thinking to colour block with royal blue shoes and bag. It’s got a cropped overlay too section and a full zip down the back (think Victoria Beckham dress). Would accessorise with a gold leaf headband and curled hair.

Which style would you choose for a proper posh venue?!

I think I would probably wear the yellow one. Have you got any pictures?

@MerylSqueak

The yellow one is far more my style of choice. Can’t seem to find any pictures though! But here is the other one…

It's a hard style to pull off on a rainy day....

We need a pic of the other one too!

Think yellow one sounds more posh, unless weather forecast is v hot in which case the peach!

Yellow85 · 30/07/2021 14:38

Yes it’s much more of a fair weather dress I think. I wore it in July I think. The yellow one is lovely - I think I’ll go with that! I’ve found a great wee accessories shop online that I’ll order a headpiece from. Thanks!

I like the peach one, but it is a bit bridesmaidy in one colour.
What colour are the Bridesmaids wearing?

Yellow85 · 30/07/2021 15:00

Yellow one is very similar to this, although I had a royal blue jewelled necklace stitched in to add some details!

I think yellow still, yes

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/07/2021 15:25

The first one is divine. ❤️❤️❤️. The colour is so pretty. I like Red but I don’t think it’s a colour for a wedding.

The other dress is yellow. It’s just the same as the red one (couldn’t find a pic of it in yellow!)

Ah yes I did notice that after I’d posted my comment. I still prefer the peach one.

Amdone123 · 30/07/2021 15:45

The peach one is stunning. I like the 2nd one too.
Sorry, not much help.

urbanbuddha · 31/07/2021 06:47

I prefer the yellow. The peach one is too bridesmaidy.

BeetyAxe · 31/07/2021 06:54

Yellow one for sure. More upmarket.

Hotcuppatea · 31/07/2021 07:16

I love the peach one. Both sound amazing.

Bluntness100 · 31/07/2021 07:23

I prefer the peach as it’s much more elegant.

wishingitwasfriday · 31/07/2021 07:37

The peach one looks too bridesmaidy. The yellow one definitely sounds more wedding guest like.

Thesheerrelief · 31/07/2021 07:40

Yellow

Saidtoomuch · 31/07/2021 07:45

I like both, but they are so different. Why don't you take both with you? You could change for the evening do.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/07/2021 08:17

Yellow and royal blue sounds very 80s/garish. Not loving the sound of it personally.

Prefer the peach.

sleepyhoglet · 31/07/2021 20:00

Love the lace peach number. Wear that!

Wanderlustnearorfar · 31/07/2021 22:19

Ooh I’d love to see what the blue jewelled neckline looks like with the yellow dress fab idea
