Which dress to black tie

Just realised the work event I have next week is black tie. It's being hosted by one of our suppliers so no customers there not that it makes a difference.

So which dress shall I wear
Orange - love the swish of this one but bought it 7/8 years ago pre child no3 so they'd more cleavage out than before and I feel a little exposed.

Red dress has pockets the zip is stiff though so worried it will go.

Black dress nice enough but a bit bland could do with a brighter contrast for the white lining

The red is stunning on you, they all are but red gets my vote... just breathe in 🤣

Is the black dress sparkly? Can't quite tell from the photo. I like the shape of that one the best.

Red (no 3)

nocoolnamesleft · 24/03/2022 23:12

The neckline of the red is by far the best of the three. Very flattering.

Love the red dress. If you have time u could get the zip fixed

lakeswimmer · 24/03/2022 23:13

Black or red. I think I would feel a bit exposed in the orange.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 24/03/2022 23:15

Number 3 Red dress.

AllKnowingGerbil · 24/03/2022 23:15

I vote black, its lovely

Verite1 · 24/03/2022 23:15

Red dress, then black dress (but not those shoes). Not a fan of orange dress.

Marynotsocontrary · 24/03/2022 23:16

I'd feel a bit exposed in the orange too, especially at a work event.
I don't really like the shape of the red dress, so I'd go black.

VVKills27 · 24/03/2022 23:16

The red dress (3rd pic) is the most flattering by far, you look stunning.

Marynotsocontrary · 24/03/2022 23:17

Definitely different shoes.

YukoandHiro · 24/03/2022 23:30

I'd go for the black. Do you have a bright, statement shoe? The cut is gorgeous and it calls for one to really draw the eye to it

Tina221 · 24/03/2022 23:41

Black or red, lovely dresses

thingymaboob · 24/03/2022 23:43

Black is really nice. Neckline is best by far

Sunseed · 24/03/2022 23:45

Red

LucyLocketLostThePlot · 24/03/2022 23:47

Red

SiobhanSharpe · 24/03/2022 23:49

The red looks best, it's lovely on you.
The black is also nice, looks easy to wear.

Anoisagusaris · 24/03/2022 23:50

I think the black is lovely on you

SiobhanSharpe · 24/03/2022 23:50

The black dress needs strappy sandals, if you go for it, IMO.

WorkHardPlayHard1 · 24/03/2022 23:51

Def red! ❤️

Crunched · 24/03/2022 23:52

The red looks beautiful.
The black also really suits you.

SiobhanSharpe · 24/03/2022 23:53

But the red one is stunning on you, it's a lovely dress and just right for a formal event, where there will be a lot of people wearing black...

AlwaysLatte · 24/03/2022 23:54

The red one #3 is more flattering and classy
