N3TR - Help me dress shop?

katib77 · August 2012

So ladies, I have a fall wedding at an unusual location (it's a hippie kind of indoor garden & tea house). I don't want to be "too dress" nor too casual. I've found these three dresses that I'm going back and forth on. Thoughts? I'm a size 14 so I can't get away with some of the dress types skinnier girls could. But I have a good Bust to Waist ratio that I think these would be good.

Dress # 1: Red & Black hanky hem https://www.onestopplus.com/clothing/Fit-and-Flare-Beaded-Floral-Hanky-Hem-Gown.aspx?PfId=313726&DeptId=15080&ProductTypeId=1

Dress # 2: Abstract Print https://www.dressbarn.com/detail/abstract-bead-waist-dress/101069564/300

Dress # 3: Orange? (Would add Brown Pashmina) https://www.eshakti.com/Product/CL0024198/Monochrome-drape-knit-dress

The second dress is really pretty. That one is my favorite.

#3- best style and price!

Have fun!

I like number 2!

#2! Probably with a cardigan or some sort of cover.

1 seems a little much and 3 looks like it would show every unflattering hiccup with that jersey material. And the ruffles on the bum makes me think of a peacock.

That's my fear of dress #3 - that it's "jersey" so like a t shirt? That doesn't seem right for dress material... If it wasn't for that I think it would win...but I am leaning towards #2 as well.

I like No. 2! I think it would define your waist well and has a flattering neckline/hemline contrast to draw the eye.

Another vote for 2! Have fun at the wedding!

I like the style of #3 better, but I think #2 would be more flattering, especially since it's a print.

kimmyb1020 · August 2012

I was leaning towards 2 or 3, but I see the point about the material of 3......either one is worth a try though!

Really like #2!!

# 3 wouldnt load for me but I like #2. Perhaps with a shawl or something. :-)

I really like #2. I like the pattern and detailing at the waist. I would definitely pair with a cardigan or pashmina in case you get chilly. Have fun at the wedding!

chrissyandpaul · August 2012

#2 is my favorite!

Kippet918 · August 2012

I was going to say #3 but given the point about the material I would go with #2. Have fun!

reemap916 · August 2012

I really like #1, but like PP said - for your event I think #2 is the best choice.

jakraft837 · August 2012

I like #3 best.

Killer Tomato · August 2012

I really like # 3. If flaw-showing is a concern with the jersey, maybe you could get the black one and use a pretty and bright scarf/pashmina with it?

I've had some jersey skirts that are really nice and flattering, but also ones that have put an arrow to every odd lump. I think a lot of it depends on the individual fabric/item, and there is no way to know that until you see it in person.

I didn't look at the shipping policies...is it an option to buy #2 and #3 and then return one? If so, that would be my choice. What looks good on the rack is never what looks good on me, and vice versa.

I vote for #2 with some sort of pashmina or wrap I think it would look really cute!
