Tell me which of these 2 dresses to buy

[Gobbledigook]

It's the same dress but which pattern?

here

If it helps teh decision I'm size 8.

the fine stripe imo

I prefer the Bandstand dress, both are nice though.

The satin blue is more bold and pretty - would it suit your colouring? Do you have blue eyes? Think the bandstand a bit dull in comparison.

the narrower stripes are obviously more flattering but you don't need that if you're a size 8

the wider stripes are a bit more "funky" and perhaps less adaptable in terms of future wears..what's it for?

Every pants style has its place & time in a girls' undies drawer, IME.

ooh I had my eye on this one when the catalogue popped through the door - the satin blue is more striking I think but depends what its for.

Sorry! Posted that on wrong thread

size 8

thin stripes

the blue, you'll get away with thicker stripes

I keep looking at that dress and wondering if I should buy it.

How are you gdg? Not seen you around for a WHILE

It's not for anything in particular - just every day (school run dress - ha ha!), wearing in teh evening on holiday. £23 is a bit of a bargain I think.

I think the wider blue stripe looks more interesting/different but I can't decide.

Colouring - I'm not tanned at the minute but I tan well, have dark blonde hair, blue/grey eyes.

Where did you get £23 from GDG ? My catalogue says £29 ... is there a discount somewhere is there ? is there ???

Hi Beety - I am fine! Work is quiet at the moment so I'm trying to make the most of it!

Great Plains catalogue came today and I quite like:

santiago dress

splash dress

lawn dress

wheely - there's 20% off summer dresses so it's £23.20 online.

I also buy through topcashback so I get % of that back as well. Even more of a bargain!

ooooh oooh thank you too exciting... will have a look thanks. I had a summer dress from Jooules last year and it was lovely but too big now (hoorah !).

Argh - I can't decide!! I don't want to pay to send one back though!

Wheely - what are the sizes like - I've never bought from there before. My Boden dresses are all 8 - shall I go for 8 here as well?

Euww Santiago and lawn dresses won't do a thing for you - very frumpy, and you sound too gorgeous so don't go for those!!!!!!!

Deffo go for satin blue!!! Lovely shape too.

I think similar to boden so go for an 8.

Am about to order it in the satin blue (in the catalogue it doesn't look so bright a blue so will wait and see what it looks like in RL).

Am slightly put off by the site being in dollars - don't remember that last year but it seems to say despatched from UK so....

Arrgh it won't let me choose a shipping option ....

Dollars? I'm not seeing it in dollars!

Hmm, the satin blue looks subdued blue in the photo of the lady wearing it and much brighter when you just click on the dress.

I think I'm going for the narrower stripes - playing it safe!

Have just ordered this one from Boden too so will be interesting to see what that's like.

I do like my summer dresses!

really GDG - I'm getting all the info in dollars even in your link and although its a UK site all the info is about sending to the US..... How bizarre.... Might have to ring.

OK I was being an eejit and should have found the flag on the home page.

Anyway, some useful info - apparently the dresses are coming marked a size up than they are (so yours will say its a 10 but will be an 8).

I've just ordered mine and I didn't see anything referring to US - how bizarre!
