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

I would go dress 2 with yellow boots and a yellow bag!

DramaAlpaca · 13/11/2021 17:55

Dress 2 for sure.

I think Dress 1 is more summery, and I'm not a fan of the yellow boots.

Wrap dresses look good on you.

I’m Team Dress One, but with darker boots - don’t think the mustard are a flattering length. Sorry op, with all these conflicting opinions you will be sorry you asked, lol

Universeandeverything · 13/11/2021 17:57

Dress no 2 definitely

VanCleefArpels · 13/11/2021 18:00

Dress 2 with dark tights and shoes not boots will elevate it to evening

AnnaSW1 · 13/11/2021 18:01

Number one looks lovely on you. I'd personally go for dark boots.

QueenofDestruction · 13/11/2021 18:03

I love the skirt but maybe a v neck top with it

IWishIWasABaller · 13/11/2021 18:05

I think both of the dresses look gorgeous on you op

Fattydontknowwhattowear · 13/11/2021 18:14

Okay, right I’m going with dress number 2, opaque tights and the boots. I just need to make sure I can sit down comfortably without the tiny wrap buttons popping open, little safety pins will have to be used to make sure I stay decent.

Thank you all, it so hard dressing when you are short, dumpy and almost 50. I’ve lost my way...

Or I have black wedge court heels I can wear with the dress, I guess it would be sheer tights then though or tanned bare legs?

Dress number 1 but with chunkier DM style boots or shoes

Noeuf · 13/11/2021 18:29

Dress two different boots or wedges

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/11/2021 18:33

I think dress 2 with boots will look more 'modern' than with shoes.

OverByYer · 13/11/2021 18:33

I like both dresses on you but 2 looks more ‘evening’

soontobegreen · 13/11/2021 18:37

I like number 2 best, but with black tights, black boots.

Mantlemoose · 13/11/2021 18:44

I like option 3 but unstuck the top. I see you are going with 2 which is nice too but the v seems too a little low not low as in too much cleavage just unflattering low.
