which dress?
Permalink  
 


eta: see next post for images.
i cant decide which i like better. i ordered the gray and it came already, and i love it.  at the time i ordered it, they didnt have the blue in my size.
and now they do.
i'm tempted to just order both and then return (hate to do that though - shipping...)

what do you guys think?
it's for an upcoming outdoor wedding. the wedding is casual -i'm on a budget - but i totally love this brand and i was really happy with both of these choices.  i'm in the market for a pewter/silver heel.
(also love their bags, if you feel like browsing - lol - i just ordered a hobo bag and i'm in LOVE - $60 bag and i got it for $15).

I think the grey is more casual and the blue is a bit dressier.

I really like them both and I am sure would be stunning on you.

I think you'd likely get more use out of the grey if you care about that.

so, my short answer is I don't know. I like them both. (enough that I'm wishing the wedding I'm going to in October was in the summer)

i agree that the gray will be used more (ie, it's hard not to wear it today just around).

i really recommend this brand - the gray dress is GREAT - i think you could swing it for an oct wedding with a wrap.  it would be flattering on you.  and they are machine washable (huge if youre dealing with kids) - very casual but can be dressed up a bit.  what i love is that you can wear a regular bra with them too. i cant STAND dealing with special bras for dresses. it's a huge determining factor of mine in deciding on a dress.

How is the sizing?

I normally wear a medium (like at old navy etc)

well i was hoping for an XS (my normal dress size), but they only had a S so i ran the risk and it fits VERY well. i'd say go for a medium if that's your normal size - i think it would fit you.

(i ordered the blue just now :bag - i'll likely return it bc i really dont need 2, and i love the gray - but i really need to just see how they both look, and i'm not about to schlep to brooklyn to try on - worst case scenario i waste $7.95 shipping...i am going to need some convincing not to keep both though~~~)

ohhhh - you havent seen ME in gray! (KIDDING!!) i agree the color of the blue is better, but i actually totally love grey with white gold jewelry, and i have a beautiful diamond necklace that looks good with the neckline.  but yeah, for sure blue is a better color for me.

I think I would have to go with the blue too.  I do see how you could dress the gray up but you can use the same things with the blue.

Hmm I picture you looking great in that grey dress. However I like to do lighter colors for weddings ( is it a day or evening wedding)

That being said I voted blue but think youd look fantastic in the grey dress.

With your teeny hot body, anything will look amazing on you.  But I voted for the blue.  smile

aww, you guys are making me shy. i cant believe how many votes for the blue.  i'm glad i ordered it now.  we'll see how it looks on.  it's anyone's guess really. sometimes that cut is bad for me bc of my height, but we'll see.

just an update  :)
the blue dress arrived today. i freakin' love it.  i love the gray too.
and i'm keeping both biggrin (i knew that would happen).

i'm wearing blue to the wedding, and i'm wearing the gray just as a dress for everyday.  i'll definitely get use out of both.

very excited.
