HELP which dress do I order for Christmas party?

Ordered 2 dresses for DH’s Christmas party off Vinted. Arrived today and don’t like either of them!

I’m seriously broke but have nothing to wear to this do. It’s in a stately home/ Manor House type place. 3 course meal and disco. Trouble is I don’t know how dressy it’s going to be and don’t know anyone going!

I like both of these dresses, the red one would suit my shape etc better I think, I’d have to team it with black tights and heels.

The grey I feel could be more ‘appropriate?’

Which one do you like/ would you order if you were me? I’ve got dark blonde hair, blue eyes, am 5’3 and size 8.

The party is Saturday night so really not much time.

Are you going for classy, or party girl vibes? The grey is more stately home, the red more disco, lol. I would wear the grey myself.

Another vote for the grey dress, much more classy than the red and a safer choice given that you don’t know what anyone else will be wearing.

Definitely grey when the dress code is uncertain and it’s your DH’s work do

AndThereSheGoes · 04/12/2024 22:15

Grey.
Red one has too much going on ( tits, legs, bow, backless) Looks a bit try hard.

This.

pizzaHeart · 05/12/2024 00:06

Grey, for the reasons @mnahmnah mentioned

stationarykingdom · 05/12/2024 00:08

Grey 100 percent

Lostsadandconfused · 05/12/2024 00:10

Grey, the red one looks like lingerie.

Monty27 · 05/12/2024 04:42

Blimey what industry does he work in? The red dress is something a very young person would wear to a club isn't it?

ChaosHol1 · 05/12/2024 04:44

Absolutely not the red, the grays really nice.

urbanbuddha · 05/12/2024 04:59

I prefer the grey. Alternatively Zara has this in red.

FlabbergastedByTheGorgons · 05/12/2024 06:02

Grey. It's the safer and classier choice which is preferable given the setting and event

BadPeopleFan · 05/12/2024 07:16

Grey - the red is definitely not giving 'Husbands works do' vibes at all!

I suppose it depends on where he works!

aintnospringchicken · 05/12/2024 13:56

Definitely the grey one

sweetpickle2 · 05/12/2024 14:28

How old are you OP? And what industry is he in? The red one could be perfectly fine depending on those answers.

GanninHyem · 05/12/2024 14:30

The red one looks cheap and nasty, like something you'd see kicking about the bigg market on a Saturday night.

Openuniversity22 · 05/12/2024 16:07

Lol, thanks for all your opinions, I’ve ordered the grey!

Don't forget the bright red lippy. Have a lovely time.

NoEscapingMe · 07/12/2024 06:00

The red one. If you've got it then flaunt it. It's lush. Ordering mine now. DP loves redxxx
