<p>i have a 60th birthday party dinner to go to next Saturday night. it’s not fancy fancy but people are going to be more dressy then if they were going to a cook-out. It is at a home not a restaurant. </p>

<p>Cannot decide between these two dresses. The green longish one has a handkerchief hemline and an over dress (which i am not going to wear.) </p>

<p>the red one have a draped neckline which looks squished in picture but not when I’m wearing. </p>

<p>Which would you choose? </p>

<p>I would choose the red one. </p>

3

<p>Green!</p>

4

<p>Can’t tell on the hanger; would need to see them on. I’d go with whichever you feel is more flattering.</p>

5

<p>I keep going back and forth between the two so will see what the consensus of thread is after it runs it’s course. </p>

6

<p>I’m leaning toward the green one since it has a cute ‘summery’ type of pattern on it…</p>

7

<p>Which color suits your complexion better? I know I look better in green than in red, others are the opposite.</p>

8

<p>No. Everyone looks better in green. End of discussion. </p>

<p>/smile…don’t we need some controversy?</p>

9

<p>i look good in every color. :smiley: </p>

10

<p>Green fan. Looks so summery festive.</p>

11

<p>I like the green one, as it looks more summery to me.
What kind of shoes do you have in mind? :)</p>

12

<p>The green. Definitely the green. The red looks too dressy.</p>

13

<p>Why would someone want to wear a summery green dress to an inside dinner party at night? No one. No, go with the red. Yes, red. </p>

<p>And everyone looks good in green? Sure…(let’s go with that), but does everyone look good in that hemline at a nighttime dinner party? No. </p>

<p>But that red. That’s a yes. You’ll look great. You’ll look dazzling. The host’s food will taste better because everyone around will feel better because you’re rockin’ that red dress. Shoot, when it’s time to leave you won’t be thanking the host, the host will be thanking you!</p>

14

<p>I’m voting for red. </p>

15

<p>Lol, Niquii, I like your attitude! :)</p>

<p>What’s the fabric like on the two of them. I actually thought the green one looked more shiny and evening-like because I wasn’t reading it as a pattern. I know that cowl neckline can look very nice on a bosom, not so great on a hanger. On the hanger I like the green better, but I think it’s because I’m misreading the photo.</p>

17

<p>Well, I might be useless here, but that’s never stopped me before. ;)</p>

<p>I’d go with the one you feel better in.</p>

18

<p>It’s going to be an inside/outside party. Cocktails around the pool and deck and the whole back of her house opens completely and it will likely be kept open. </p>

<p>The green dress is really much fancier than the red. </p>

<p>I have to go buy shoes. The strappy black heels I wear with both dresses need the heels repaired (got ruined at an outdoor wedding from sinking in the grass.) To make the green look less dressy i am thinking of a pretty wedge flip flip if i can find one fancy enough and which goes with the dress. </p>

<p>Niguii, it doesn’t matter if everyone looks good in that hemline, I look good in it. it also has a slit up the left side which goes up to the lining. </p>

19

<p>I wasn’t insulting you, emilybee…</p>

<p>Thank you, @BunsenBurner‌. Glad someone got it. ;)</p>

<p>If it’s going to be an open house concept, then I say go with the green with wedge flip flops. That sounds nice. </p>

<p>Oh, but imagine how nice your red dress will look from the pool’s reflection…</p>

<p>I vote for the red one. Sorry, but I think that is a dreary green.</p>
