I really like number 3 with the darker shoes. That said number 2 also looks fab! I think it comes down to which one you feel nicest in.

SweetRuby · 25/07/2022 10:30

I think they all look lovely, if I had to choose I would pick number 1. Out of the 3 though which one do you find yourself leaning towards?

DelphiniumBlue · 25/07/2022 10:32

I love dress1, especially now you are saying it's lined etc. If you had your hair up it would look more formal.
Otherwise, dress 2 but not with those shoes. Have you got/can you get/borrow
some bright shoes, red or pink or bright green?
Dress 3 is OK but boring.

Number 3 looks lovely with the green sandals. x

Number 2. 3 looks too casual, like you're going shopping.

2 looks great and very chic. Enjoy!

stopringingme · 25/07/2022 10:42

No. 2

RiverSkater · 25/07/2022 10:45

3 would be better off with a different belt as it's more modern

2 is lovely also

choppolata · 25/07/2022 10:50

I really like no.1, I think no.3 is too casual and no.2 is ok but a bit mother of the bride.

bluekostree · 25/07/2022 10:56

Number 2

MaggieFS · 25/07/2022 10:56

I think what the replies show is that they are all lovely and we all have different ideas about what we like and what we think is best.

You won't be wrong with any of them.

Go with what you are most comfortable with and think looks best.

My gut feel was actually 1, I think it's gorgeous, but then I was swayed but other people and went for 3.

To me, 2 is what I used to buy from Coast when I was buying what I thought my mother expected me to wear to weddings. Nothing wrong with it, but it wouldn't be my true preference.

JimmiChoux · 25/07/2022 10:57

No 2

luckylavender · 25/07/2022 10:59

I love No 1 best!

WarrenGRegulate · 25/07/2022 11:00

No 2 black and white!

EternalPoinsettia · 25/07/2022 11:02

Number 3

MarshaBradyo · 25/07/2022 11:05

No 2

I actually like them all and equally comfortable. I'm heading off to the hotel soon and will try all 3 with hair, makeup and bag and then decide.

I'll be back to let you know by 1.30pm!

Thankyou all for your lovely comments, you big nest of vipers Wink

No 2 is most flattering but I wouldn't wear a white base to a wedding. I know it's not a wedding dress but I still think you'll get some raised eyebrows and it'll stick out in pictures.

Why would there be raised eyebrows?

Have a great day Op!

SummerSazz · 25/07/2022 13:52

Thankyou all - went #3 and switched to the black belt!

Going against the grain here, I like number 1, it's lovely and colourful, I bet there will be lots of ladies wearing dresses like number 2, dear to be different 😊

Oh dear-what a shame you missed Op's post directly above yours!

SummerSazz · 25/07/2022 18:04

I'm appreciating the pockets, despite the required ironing! And fits well with the other guests choices Smile

Sheffieldissunny · 26/07/2022 10:22

Excellent. Yes I love pockets. Feel a bit lost without them. Hope you had a lovely day

Isabelle70 · 26/07/2022 12:36

@SummerSazz I was going to go for 3 then 2.
Are the shoes the comfort espadrilles from Next? I have just received a pair and my foot looks a bit puffy so wondering if they loosen up and the sole squishes a bit?

Fireintheloft · 26/07/2022 21:35

Vote 3 🙂
