Help me pick a dress!

keags5496 · August 2014

DH's company throws a big party once a year. This year it has a 20s theme (so I'm assuming they're going Great Gatsby style). I'm going to rent a dress because I want something fancy and know I probably won't ever wear it again. Plus, there's a few women that work with him that have massively inflated egos and I'm not ashamed to admit that I reeeeealllllly want to show them up (especially after two kids). I carry all of my weight in my belly and I have big shoulders (def an apple body type). For some reason I can't post the pictures here, but I'd love to get your opinions! Thaanks!

I was kind of leaning towards the Milly too partly because its totally out of my normal style. And shiny.

Wait...there's two Millys!! The flowy one and the sequin one. Which did you mean??

I was looking at the second one. I like the first Milly too but couldn't tell if it would feel too short

I like the flowy Milly dress the best!

What kind of shoes would you wear?

+1!

Not sure. I have some black, strappy heels that might work.

I love the Sachin + Babi. But I have a hard time ever picking the short skirts. Because terribly self-conscious about the thighs. But that's my own hang up. I like all of your choices.

I probably should have mentioned that im short. The site tells you how tall the models are and shows you people your height in the dresses. Even the short Milly was closer to my knee than mid thigh.
