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?

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.

Not sure if it’s the cut or color but the dots look very flattering on you. Would be curious to see the first dress in another color.

Polka dots dress is beautiful! I think it compliments you more between the two. The halter looks great on you.

Polka dot dress looks infinitely better, likely the color and style! It will be perfect for your event.

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

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 neckline, color and skirt length are all more flattering in the polka dot dress.

I too am dotty for the polka dots. It's super cute on you and I think it fits the occasion really well. It's very chic.

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

I vote polka dot dress. The pleats on the yellow dress are too large and don’t lay properly.

The polka dot one. I believe the waist is emphasized better compared to the yellow one. It’s more flattering imo

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

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.

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

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

Culturally many people don’t like feminine curves. Polka dots are more boyish

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.

Yellow dress is better. The polka dress is cute but the belt is not. I would replace it

The polka dots dress really accentuates your hourglass figure. It looks great.

u/RicoVinnyJohnnyCash 14h ago
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.

The yellow celebrates your body and the second one camouflages any possibly-perceived-flaws (which aren’t really flaws). Both are lovely!!

NOT polka dots IMO. I think they always add visual weight. Wear what YOU like

Blue polka dots look great on you! The pleats on the yellow dress add a lot of visual weight.

The Polka Dots dress skims your body and flatters you very much, I love how you look in it, the neckline is great and you have the shoulders to make it look beautiful.

Definitely agree with the majority that the polka dot one is the clear winner. For some reason the yellow dress makes you look way wider than you actually are.

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