I prefer the cream one best

ThatBigGermanPrison · 19/07/2008 14:09

here

take it off the cord and put it on a nice chain.

MaryBS · 19/07/2008 14:14

The red shoes are lovely, the second dress though is not a good fit - sorry, you are very slender but the dress isn't cut right and doesn't do justice to your figure.

Whereas the 1st dress is a good fit, lovely colours - will look great with a tan with thoses exposed shoulders and does look so swishey [ohh looovely emotion]

Flier · 19/07/2008 14:26

yeah, i know in my heart that the cream dress is not a good fit, or probably the right kind of dress for my figure. think I'd need to get some spanx if I were to keep it.

ivykaty44 · 19/07/2008 14:29

what are spanx? It is the cut of the dress not your figure.

Ps I love thoses shoes I want a dress to go with thoses shoes - the ones for £19 not the blk ones at 55 [ohh me like thoses]

ThatBigGermanPrison · 19/07/2008 14:29

I don't think the cream dress is wrong for your figure, it would be nice for a garden party. It's an outdoors dress though, because of the colour. I don't think cream looks nice under artificial light.

Flier · 19/07/2008 14:34

ivykaty - spanx are those magic knickers, was looking at ones that would pull in stomach as well as upper thighs. Do you mean the shoes I'd linked to on the other thread?

I prefer the second one

Guadalupe · 19/07/2008 14:49

the first one looks stunning but agree needs necaklace to balance it out

Flier · 19/07/2008 15:18

thanks everyone for looking and commenting.

I like the first one but would maybe team it with a short sleeve shrug/bolero in a softer colour, or a necklace to break up the open-ness of the neckline, if that makse sense.
Look in Coast or Monsoon.
Lovely dress and gorgeous figure!

lubyluby · 19/07/2008 15:59

i love the cream and red one, a little fake tan and it would eb perfect.

i love the red shoes too, i think they make it look more classy and def my favourite.

nailpolish · 19/07/2008 16:11

heres what to do

wear the green one with a fake tan (treat yourself to a salon one)
dotn wear a necklace - you have great shoulders - wear a pair of massive shoulder skimming earrings instead to show shulders off
kkep the red shoes

off to searh for earrins

twinsetandpearls · 19/07/2008 16:13

I like the first one and agree with the fake tan and fab necklace advice.

Also love the red shoes.

nailpolish · 19/07/2008 16:15

I think you look better in the second dress.

The first one doesn't compliment your colouring - it's a little too harsh.

The second lifts your skin tone and you look much more radiant - the shoes are absolutely gorgeous, too!

Flier · 20/07/2008 09:26

Thanks for the links nailpolish, that was good of you. Thanks again everyone for looking

I like the first one, it makes your boobs look bigger too Agree that a nice shrug would look good with it too if you can get the right colour.

Love the red shoes but imo I don't think they go with the dress seeing as the pattern on the dress is hot pink not bright red. You should keep the shoes though, you will definitely be able to wear them with other stuff

Podrick · 20/07/2008 09:59

You look great, the green is definitely my favourite!
