Help to decide on a dress to wear to my Xmas party please? Pics

Hi, I’d really appreciate helping me decide which dress to wear and whether the boots are ok too?

Please say if neither is ok, this is not a ball type affair, just a smart evening venue. I rather boots than shoes but please say if boots are not appropriate or whether the colour is not right. I have boots in lots of colours so could change the colour if necessary.

First dress below

Thank you

Or this dress

I can put the black boots with the yellow patterned dress if it would look better

Number one for me, it’s lovely and a bit unusual.

Tillsforthrills · 13/11/2021 17:14

No.1 just feels a bit more ‘Christmassy’ so I’d go with that one.

RedHot22 · 13/11/2021 17:15

The second one with opaque tights

Hohofortherobbers · 13/11/2021 17:16

I like number 1 too, but not sure on the boot length. I'd think either black heels or knee high dressy black boots with a leather jacket would be ideal

StoopitAutocarrot · 13/11/2021 17:17

I’m not a fan of mixed patterns, but for a Christmas do I think number one with those boots is grand. Personally, I’d go for the black and white one, with a block colour jacket for colour.

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 13/11/2021 17:19

Both would be fine but first one seems more festive. Could you post a pick of no 1 with the black boots, side by side with a pick with the yellow ones?

BlueBellsArePretty · 13/11/2021 17:20

Number one with the yellow boots is a fab outfit x

Noeuf · 13/11/2021 17:20

Number 1 is really unflattering and a weird length. Don’t like the mustard boots. Number 2 is nicer and more evening.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/11/2021 17:22

2
Sorry, but I don't like the first one.

MrsBertBibby · 13/11/2021 17:23

First dress, but the yellow boots look wrong.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 13/11/2021 17:25

I like both. Sorry I know that's not helpful

LucyLocketsPocket · 13/11/2021 17:26

Number 2 looks better for an evening do.

SymbollocksInteractionism · 13/11/2021 17:33

2nd dress, black tights (opaque or patterned) black boots.

Or you could try 2nd dress, sheer black patterned tights with the yellow boots.

noodlezoodle · 13/11/2021 17:34

First dress, but with the black boots.

Fattydontknowwhattowear · 13/11/2021 17:36

Thanks all, the fact that the dresses are wrap that may have the tendency to fall open when I’m sitting is putting me off anyway.

What about this skirt and top? With a long necklace?

Sorry double post. Big belly knickers needed I think

I think this skirt and top look lovely together!

HaveTeaWillSurvive · 13/11/2021 17:40

The first one is too summery for me, I’d go for number 2 with dark tights and the boots.

Tiredforfive45 · 13/11/2021 17:41

I like the skirt and top combo.

I like your bathroom tiles too Grin

GobbledyGeek · 13/11/2021 17:47

The dresses are much more flattering.

My personal choice would be dress number 2. Although I like the colours of dress 1, I’m not keen on the mix of patterns.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/11/2021 17:49

Really like the skirt, but don't think it works terribly well with the tucked in top.

CorrBlimeyGG · 13/11/2021 17:51

Dress number two. I love the boots in number one but not keen on the dress. You don't look comfy in the skirt and top, and the top hides your great boobs.

RedHot22 · 13/11/2021 17:51

I think dress no: 1 is more a lunch time dress and the skirt and jumper will just look like a jumper when you’re sitting down.

So - still #2 with opaque tights
