Hi, dont know which dress to wear for a christening (my daughters).

Have got both dresses at home and cant decide.

They are both from Dorothy Perkins (sorry cant seem to get the link to work)!

One is a white lace border shift dress
The other is orange tile shift dress.

Help its on Sunday!! confused

Just had a thought. Wear the white one and then take the orange one as back up the white one gets dirty.

I like both but also think the orange one will be better with a baby around.

nude or black would both go, I think if it's a sunny day nude would look great, if it's cooler then black would look good the shoes would suit both.

Or nude.

Gah.

I don't know either!

Both would be nice. But not at the same time

I think I would go for the white dress with black tights.

Dont know whether to go for black tights or nude ones. I have got some black patent mary jane type shoes.

I prefer the white one- what are you wearing on your legs?

I agree with Ingrid that white one is a bit more summery. Both are lovely though and I would choose the 2nd

Yeah thanks Samsonara thats what I am thinking, its a bit more classy than the other. Have got three children now and have always wore white trousers etc with them and not had a problem!! smile

white one is gorgeous smart , but timeless, will be lovely in the photos if your daughter is wearing christening dress , the other one looks nice but more ordinary because of the print

Both are lovely but agree orange one is probably more practical

Yeah they are the ones thanks. Dont no why I couldn't get it to work.

My OH has made the same comment about white, but just feel that I would be more likely to wear the white one after, to the pub and on holiday etc. Plus it looks like the sort of dress that wouldnt date!!

I like the Orange Tile one for this time of year. The white one is nice but a bit to high summer.

Both nice but agree that white could be risky!

I'd go for 2 on Paddington's link, if only because wearing white with a small baby around seems like a recipe for disaster!

Both nice dresses though.

If it was me I'd probably go for dress 1, the white one.
