get this dress in red or purple? I intend to use it for multiple evening weddings and parties I have on my busy social calendar this year.

I am not fashion forward at all but I personally think it would look great in red with black peep-toe pumps or a really cute pair of flats

I like the red.

I generally love purple and blue, but not those. They're too bright. At least red is supposed to be bright.

I got this and love it. Even though the event I was supposed to wear it to didn't happen, I kept it for future. This is the kind of blue I'm talking about

I'm with you.

I really like that dress. I originally wanted a navy v neck dress and the damn thing sold out before I bought it. I'll definitely consider this one.

How does it fit? True to size or should I go up a dress size like the site says?

They are all too bright for me. If I had to choose, I would buy the black dress.

First off you should know I LOVE purple. Secondly brights work really well on me so for me I would do the purple. Reds don't work because my skin is so pink.

For you I would do Sibil's dress in that blue. Its beautiful.

If purple is a good color on you, thats what I would get.

The old biddy in me would shy away from wearing a red tight/fitted dress to a wedding. lol

ETA I like Sibil's dress idea

I vote red. It's classic and would look awesome with your coloring.

So... I love the dress and WOULD say go red, however I just bought a jersey cotton dress in red from VS (for V-day) and it seemed a little.. washed out IMO... As if I have had it for a few years and multiple washes.

I really like the red in that dress. The purple is nice but I think it's too bright of a color and would limit your options of wearing it. Personally I usually stick to black but I'm boring like that.
