Dinner and Dance on Saturday - Help me choose one of these dresses!

As it says in the title really!

Topshop have the same dress in three different colours. I wanted something quite figure hugging. But I can't choose a colour...

blue

lilac

coral

I have fairly light blonde hair and bluey greeny eyes if that makes a difference.

Alternatively if you have any other suggestions for diff dresses - I'm size8-10, 5"7.

TIA!

It's always hard chooing colours from the same pallette I find, have you tried them on, sometimes on colour stands out as looking best when it's on, if you can't decide between colours, there is this one
dress
This one is nice too
coral

Think the blue one is the nicest and would suit you.

Those colours are a bit cheap-looking if you ask me. I think you can only get away with them if you are young. And have a cracking figure. Is it a formal do?

SoLongAsItsHealthy · 27/04/2010 11:03

But I do agree the blue is the least offensive.

Least offensive! I'm 24. It's not really that formal. More cocktail dress I suppose. As I said I'm open to suggestions, I've been searching and searching!
I agree maybe they are a bit cheap looking though. was looking for something nude or navy.
samsonara - that coral dress is lovely!

Sorry - but I agree the colours look a little bit cheap (although the blue is the best)

navy

navy again

nude

Tilly those dresses are fab. I particularly like the first two. Very classy - so long as you have the figure for it. Googlism get them and try them on at home, I bet you'll look a treat. You are young so go for it!

Well in the end, two of the dresses that were linked to were out of stock in my size!
I wore this dress - along the same lines:

I wore nude and cream accessories - skyscaper peep toe nude heels with a bow on the front etc.

I had a very good night as well! Thanks for your help Tillyscoutsmum, wouldn't have found this dress without those links!
