Help me pick a dress for a boat party on the thames!

I have a boat party on the Thames coming up for a friends 30th.

I think I've whittled it down to 3 outfits. I've worn them all before (see photos) but I cannot decide which one to wear. I love the black one but don't know if it's a but smart / office-y?

Opinions please. Also looking to buy a new pair of shoes. I like wearing a heel but it's all day so need to be comfy. Maybe a block heel or wedge?

The white shirt dress I'd wear with maybe a gold belt.

The green and white is a play suit.

The black outfit is a dress that comes just above the knee.

Or if none, send some ideas my way!

The multi coloured playsuit. It's miles nicer than the others and jumps out as being right.

The blue shorts are nice too but the multi coloured ones have the edge.

All we're thinking is you have amazing legs and look great in anything

That said the first grey white paisley dress suits you well

But yes on a boat think shoes, wind etc etc

That said I've been to boat party's and spent most of the time inside having a great time so wear whatever you want

Agree with everyone that you have a gorgeous figure and amazing legs. The print shorts outfit for sure. Can I ask where you got it please. TIA.

Ah thank you everyone so much for your comments it's so lovely of you all!

So, I think I need to go with shorts due to wind.

The multi coloured outfit is actually a separate top and shorts.

Do you think I could do the blue shorts and the multi coloured top?? Or keep the multi coloured outfit as one?

I've narrowed it down to that and the green and white play suit.

Thanks all, I'm going to buy some white block heels and take a pair of gladiator sandals with me in case heels aren't going very well 😅 it's at the end of May so hopefully the weather will warm up a little bit!

Thank you, thats so kind!

The coloured outfit, blue shorts and top, and green and white dress (I stitched it in the middle to make it shorts) are all from here.

Bought a little while ago but there are some lovely bits on here!

What about changing the belt on the green / white play suit to a leather/pleather one, I think it might look a lot better than the fabric one. Maybe match shoes or contrast.
It’s my fave but you look brilliant in absolutely everything.
Post what you choose/shoes etc

Black one does look too business-y
For a normal night out any of the others look great but for a boat party I would wear either a maxi dress or one of the playsuits because I think the likelihood of rogue gusts of wind is just too high!

There are more outfit ideas that you can consider, such as a casual midi dress or skater dress with a scoop neck, a jumpsuit, or a flowing maxi dress (it has an array of maxi dresses you can choose from).

I ended up wearing the green and white play suit. Did the trick with no gust up my nether regions, paired it with some gold wedges :)

If it’s not til May then definitely the multicoloured play suit/shorts outfit. It’s great for a summertime 30th on a Thames boat.

You are a forward planner, OP! Good for you. Hope it’s fun!

Oh dear, way too late to this 😂
