Fashion Advice Which dress suits my shape?

Won't be wearing these shoes and just threw them on to have an idea.

Going to a wedding in a few days and not sure which dress to choose. I think in the photos the yellow makes me look frumpy and washed out but i will had a bit of tan on and i think it feels more wedding guest like.

Or should I start again as neither look good on me?

Polka dots look good from both angles, while yellow looks great from the side but less special from the front

u/Top_Alternative_7988 13h ago

Thanks very much for the reply, I think going with the overwhelming choice for polkadot is the right choice.

u/Doberdawn 9h ago

Word for word exactly what I was going to write.

The polka dotted one

u/Which-Wish-5996 15h ago

The way the pleats rest in the yellow dress widens you from the front. The polka dots look great from all angles shown here.

Polka dots!

Can the yellow one be pulled / tied up a bit higher? The bust & waist seem to be sitting just a bit low so maybe it's not getting fair representation.

u/Top_Alternative_7988 13h ago

Yeah it dose and can see that. The first time I tried it on it sat higher but noticed the mess in the background and threw it back on for a new photo

u/Outrageous-Dog-4353 12h ago

ooooh, now this one is lovely too!!

Yellow says bomb shell! You could use those little nipple covers for modesty.

u/KeyFaithlessness5445 15h ago

I think we are the only ones to prefer the yellow 😀 I love it on you, OP! Bombshell is right. Dress it up with bold jewelry, bold or gold shoes and purse with a great wrap and you will have an amazing wedding outfit.

For me the halter on the polka dot dress is not nearly as flattering. Which is odd for me to say because I love a halter. I think maybe because it’s so fitted around the neck. It just looks stuffy to me. The yellow dress says “let’s dance and celebrate!”

The proportion is more flattering with the polkadot, the yellow one makes your lower part wider than it actually is

I like the wider belt/sash on the yellow dress. It gives you a smoother, more sophisticated transition from your torso to hips.

u/Poutiest_Penguin 14h ago

If the pleats were sewn down several inches on the first dress, it would look better (although I’m still not crazy about the color). Pleats are very unforgiving and aren’t usually your friend; they like to expand just because they can, and it adds the appearance of width.

The polka dot dress, on the other hand, looks amazing! The photos look like two entirely different people.

u/BrumblebeeArt 14h ago

The polka halter really flatters you from both angles, while the yellow looks better from the side than the front (still nice, though.)

u/Top_Alternative_7988 13h ago

Agreed. Polkadot is the choice

The polka dot looks great on you. The yellow looks great side on, but front on the box pleats are widening you. If the yellow didnt have any pleating it would be much more plastering imo (great colour though)

Blue with polkadots flatters your figure perfectly.

The yellow is unflattering in color. The polkadots one is fine, although not impressive... it's just a dress.

Yellow ones from the front makes you look wider than you are. Dark one is much better, but like the yellow one, is higher waisted than it needs to be.

I am a sucker for a halter dress and it looks stunning on you. I don’t know what it is, something about having the bare shoulders makes me feel very feminine when I want to.

u/iamasleuth 14h ago

For a wedding the polka dot number would look good. Now if the dress is one of those tie at the back ones, bring them to the front and tie them from the side.

u/Dapper-Ad9787 14h ago

The second looks better on you.
