Dresses came in! Help me decide which one please :)

Thanks again for everyone who helped me decide which dresses to order the other day!

I needed a new dress for a bridal shower that I'm going to this Saturday, noon at a nice Italian restaurant.

The dresses (from Piperlime) arrived today and both fit pretty well. I'm leaning towards the beige/pink one but am not sure... I kind of feel like the blue/yellow one is a bit too business-like.  I'm a SAHM so I think I'd be more likely to wear the other one again, for date-night or whatever...

What do you think?

Re: Dresses came in! Help me decide which one please :)

  • I like them both, but I can see the pink one being more versatile for you.

  • Based on your lifestyle I agree that you'll get more mileage out of the pink one. Sometimes the color of the outfit doesn't totally come across in a pic, but based on the pic alone, I think the blue one looks much better on you (fit and coloring).
  • They are both gorgeous! Keep both, but wear the pink one!
  • Thanks!

    Do you think the pink one is flattering? I feel pretty sassy in it ;) But I want it to look good, you know. That was the top comment I got about that dress in my OP about which to buy, that it may not be the most flattering style...

    I think it's totally cute on you, seriously.  And that color is so hot right now, I love it.  I mean, it's not a curve-hugging dress, but I think it looks great.  The blue is just 'ok' to me, not really worth keeping IMO.

  • The first one, great for the occasion, plus it looks awesome on you (yes, it's flattering!).  I must be color blind though, it doesn't look pink to me at all, it looks orange, lol!

    Haha, I already feel guilty about buying dresses when I gave up shopping for Lent! I promised myself that I WOULD return one of them ;)

    Ha, it is an orangy pinkish color...I think it was described as coral though?

  • That pink dress is beautiful!

  • Both are adorable but I say the first one.  Like you said it's much more versatile and can be worn with sandals when running errands or an espadrille or pump for a night out.  Good choices!!

  • Ooohhh...I like them both but I agree that maybe the first one would fit your lifestyle better.  What brand is the second one?  I might have to go check it out.  

     

  • I like the first one better too. I think I was one of the original commenters that it may not be flattering, IRL, but it is. I'd definitely keep that one.

    The 2nd dress is great for work - I'm surprised it got such bad reviews online. It fits you really well!

    Thanks! I know, I was surprised the 2nd one fit too... I was hoping it would despite the reviews ;) I can see how if my hips were any wider, it would be tight..but otherwise, it seems pretty accurately sized and proportioned...

  • U loook good in both, but I like the pink for your lifestyle!
  • The pink one!  I really like it - plus it sounds like you'll be able to wear that one more than the other.

    Thanks!  Do you think they both run tts? 

  • I like the first and think it looks really flattering.  The second looks more office than festive.

    I actually thought they both ran a little small. The pink one could be TTS, but the blue one definitely runs small. I usually wear a S/26 but got both in M.

  • They both look great on you. I vote pink since you'll get more wear out of it
