Can a fatty (me) wear this......

[Numberfour]

to a 40th birthday party at someone's house where the dress code is party / casual? i suspect it may be too dressy?
this dress

Sorry - I agree with Ronald. I am a size 12 and wouldn't wear a jersey dress due to cling potential. I don't think it would be flattering and it isn't party/casual I don't think.

this or too smart?

spenny and Boden but wearable in a million ways

I love that Boden dress- have had my eye on it in the violet floral for a wedding later on the year. Wonder if it'll be reduced in the sale!!!

It is a nice dress but I think it's dressy and not party/casual.

proof of how persuadable i am.

i have reconsidered:

1. the dress is GORGEOUS
2. it is more than likely far too over dressed for the do
3. i will in all likelihood not feel very comfortable
4. there is the dreaded fear of looking weddingy / bridesmaidy as Ronaldinhio said.

now I will reconsider.....
