Garden Party attire

H and I are going to an event in May that says "Garden Party Attire".  It is outdoors with cocktail hour starting at 5:30 on a Thursday.  I have this dress currently in my closet

But I also have my eye on this dress

Are these appropriate for Garden Party?  If so, which do you like better?  If not, what would you wear?  Thanks!

Re: Garden Party attire

  • I think the dress you already own would be perfect.
  • I think either one would be appropriate, but I personally prefer the second one.
  • I've never been to a garden party, but I think either would be fine.

    I agree.

  • I really like the dress you own, but that Macys one is great too!  I like them both equally, just depends on if you want to buy a new dress or not.

  • I love the one you own and don't like the second one at all.

    Hi! I'm feeling okay, just wish I could sleep better. Overall can't complain too much though.
