Dress me (because I hate it!)

Post by Cerise »

Awards night dresses. These are the ones I have here at the moment. Thoughts please!

Green - has a sparkly gold thread in the detail
Red - many, many sequins
Black sheath - silver sparkly bits
Skater - bronze metallic detail on skirt

NB - suck it in underwear not present!

I think the red one is lovely on you, that'd be my pick (as long as it's comfortable! Comfort is key for me these days.)

1 or 4 for me. The red is lovely but I think the other two look 'dressier'.

I agree 1 or 4. I really like 3 and it could be dressy with a great up do and heels etc

I welcome any other suggestions!

I’m 5ft2, more hips than boobs and I don’t really want to spend more than about £70 as I’ve splurged on a hotel room for the night so I can chill in the spa on the afternoon before! :disco:

I like the red dress best followed by the daisies.

I also think suck it in underwear is not required. Especially if the awards involve dinner!

I like the red dress. The shape really suits you.

I think the red best - that neckline is good on you. 2nd choice is the daisy dress which is also lovely. Also don't think either of those need "sucking in".

Do you have shoes/bag/jewellery that would go with any of the dresses. I'd base my decision on that too.

I have basic black handbags but my shoe/jewellery/make up skills are nil.

I think you need to hit up one of the department store makeup counters for a quick lesson. I bet Bobbi Brown would be a good bet as they’re famed for natural looking makeup.

I’d also consider a styling appointment too. The red is nice but feels a bit wintry to me.

Would one of your bags go with the daisy dress?

I like the red dress and the last one. The necklines suit you. A pair of gold heels and a gold bag would go with both but I am old and maybe shouldn't be giving an opinion :))

I think dresses 1 and 3 are a bit frumpy.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

Conversely, 1 and 3 are my faves.

This must be very helpful for you, Cerise. :lol:

1 looks very nice on, but it just gives off mother-of-the-bride vibes to me. And 3 looks a bit daytime-wedding, but maybe that's just the daisies throwing me that direction?

I like 4, I think it could look great with gold/bronze accessories.

Are the dresses ones you already had or ones you've ordered to try?
