Wedding Outfit... Choice of two. Help me decide

SantanaBinLorry · 23/06/2022 14:13

I'm off to a wedding in Saturday. No dress code, but it's nice to make the effort.
I'm on crutches at the mo so wanted something long to cover my bandages.
I bought the spotty one a while back and really like it.
Now, the floral one is my Mum's, vintage Jaegar from the 80's... It's the first time it's ever fitted me and I love it - it also has pockets, always a bonus.
I'm torn now...the spotty is fun and comfy. The floral makes me feel a little bit more dressed up.
I've got accessories, shoes and (biker) jacket for both - pink or black.

Soz for the crappy photos/angles...my full length mirror is down stairs and I couldn't be bothered with the bum shuffle.
Both dresses are ankle length, the floral has alittle more volume in the skirt than the picture shows.
Help me decide 😩

Bah, fat fingers...
Also the black/white Is kinda sheer with a black under skirt/petticoat. So it's quite light and floaty.

I prefer the 2nd one

Chewbecca · 23/06/2022 14:22

You look great in both. I’d go with the spotty though, the black looks a bit dark to me and less dressy.

Love the vintage Jaegar!

The spotted one

Nopetryagain · 23/06/2022 14:27

Spotted, you look fantastic!

ShirleyPhallus · 23/06/2022 14:27

The spotty one marginally, although neither of them are very “wedding”. Do you have anything else lurking in your wardrobe?

stepuporshutup · 23/06/2022 14:30

Spotty definitely
Is it ghost

LosDolses · 23/06/2022 14:31

I do... But I'm limited to sensible flat black or pink shoes due to an injury.
I'm not too worried about being too 'wedding'. It will be a mad mix of guests, we're already placing bets as to who will turn up in cargos and flip-flops 😅

SantanaBinLorry · 23/06/2022 14:45

Thanks for the compliments 😊
Lots of love for the spots so far...
It's not Ghost...it's a TKMaxx special £7.99!

I'll have to find another event for the Jaegar!

I think you look great in both although I agree with a previous poster that neither looks very weddingy? The spotty one if I’m seeing it right looks like a stretch cotton fabric so quite casual and the other one is probably more something I’d wear to a nice pub with friends. I think a biker jacket with either would make them both look more casual? Is it a casual wedding though?

You can dress the polka dotted one up a bit, if that's your thing. I liked it on you.
the floral one was ok but nothing special, IMO.

JustAnotherViper · 23/06/2022 14:52

Vintage floral.

Spotty! If I had your figure I would be showing it off to max effect!

Oh, I disagree. 'The Jaeger' as it's been know as for the last 35years really is very special 😅 Just maybe not for this do.

To dress up the spotty..
I've got both Cerise (sp?) and patent black pointy, sling back flats, cerise bag. Can pick up a patent black one if I go for the black.
Will probably big curl my hair and I can get away with a hair-sacrf bow or neck bow... Black or pink.
Chunky jewellery didn't quite go...
Hopefully won't need the jacket day time, just for keeping warmer later on. Fingers crossed.

I like the Jaeger, but I would go with whichever is most comfortable. I think it might be easier to handle going to the loo on crutches in the Jaeger dress!

ErinAoife · 23/06/2022 15:39

The spotted one in my opinion is better for a wedding than the black florala
