Thoughts?

2nd, stylish and classic

1st totally inappropriate and un peu slutty ... think Madonna in the 80s.

BigTillyMint · 25/01/2010 22:12

I agree with Cake, but then I saw the tiered lace dresses the first time round...

paddingtonbear1 · 25/01/2010 22:13

For a wedding, I'd go for no 2, definitely.

misshardbroom · 25/01/2010 22:16

definitely the second one.

TheFirstLady · 25/01/2010 22:17

The second one is lovely. The first - don't go there.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 25/01/2010 22:17

at number 1. Totally awful. Inappropriate. Even in the 80s you wouldn't have worn it to a wedding, more appropriate for a nightclub.

Number 2, without question.

Mind you, if it's just for the evening reception, though. Slightly slutty's acceptable then, surely? Daytime, a definite no-no for number 1.

(still wouldn't be seen dead in number 1 - anywhere).

PoppityPing · 25/01/2010 22:19

If they're the only choices then no.2

It's a bit meh though

cornsilk · 25/01/2010 22:28

2

Cyb · 25/01/2010 22:31

sorry, don;t like either

cornsilk · 25/01/2010 22:34

What even with shoe boots cyb?

Cyb · 26/01/2010 07:17

lol

I'm NOT that obsessed you know!

vesela · 26/01/2010 08:26

Definitely not 1, and I'm not keen on 2 either - it looks unbalanced.

vesela · 26/01/2010 08:40

sorry, what I meant is I think the neckline and the bow don't go together.

traceybath · 26/01/2010 10:01

Number one is a bit katie price - is that the look you want .

Number two ok - I'm guessing you are young, pretty and slim.

upahill · 26/01/2010 10:03

As dresses I like them both but for a wedding go for number 2

GooseyLoosey · 26/01/2010 10:05

2 for a wedding.

oxocube · 26/01/2010 10:07

Def not 1, not terribly keen on 2 but think it is, at least, appropriate

TheBossofMe · 26/01/2010 10:41

No 2 is the better of the two, by a long way.

Cranreuch · 26/01/2010 12:03

I like the second one, have you tried it on yet?

When is the wedding? ( will you be cold and do you have something to wear with it.. coat/jacket?)

notyummy · 26/01/2010 12:13

No 2

cheesefarmer · 26/01/2010 20:10

haha ok so resounding vote for number 2! I would have put a black cardi/shrug with number 1 btw, that makes it less slutty yes?

I'll keep the number 2 option in mind, am searching more dresses on debenhams website tonight

traceybath - young-ish (26), pretty - I wish, slim - 10-12, so yeah I'd call myself 'slim' however I hate my tummy after having DS, but its nothing bridget jones pants can't sort.

cranreuch - summer wedding, but yeah I'd take a shawl or something, as its scotland so you never know - it could be freezing!
