    Number 1 - you look gorgeous and elegant - and a bit sexy with that lovely neckline and waist :-)

    Top dress is AWESOME- and if it's black tie, you want a long, formal gown. Well, at least, I usually do! :happy:

    I agree :) You look stunning.

    I don't think either one is terribly flattering on you, but of the two, I'd go with the first, I guess.

    #2 is more flattering, I think... but it needs to be shortened to just above your knee. #1 is pretty, but I think you look better in #2.

    I like #2, but without the panty hose and with some strappy black or other color heels.

    The first one looks awesome. The second, not as flattering. I'd go with dress no. 1.

    Dress two is not flattering on top or bottom. Not sure what the arms are doing and the back end is too tight.

    Dress one however slims you, elongates your line and ends up making you look taller and thinner. The neckline Is gorgeous on you.

    I like the knee length dress. The top one looks plain and have a bridesmaid vibe to it. You look great in both either way.
    The knee length dress has some sass to it and if you pair it with some fierce jewelry that'd make it even sassier.

    #2...the first one isn't doing you any favors.

    ETA: I would say lose the black stockings and pumps. Go with a natural/nude stocking and maybe a nude heel (higher the heel the better) to elongate your legs. I feel you look more confident in the second and look bored/frumpy in the first.

    I agree with the above. The pics of dress #2 just exude confidence!

    I do think you look good in the first one, too, OP, but I just find it boring. I imagine every other woman wearing some version of that.

    Plus, your bum looks fantastic in the second dress and would make you more of a knockout.

    Alright ya'll, I'm southern. It's common to have black tie weddings, and galas at the country club, here. While, yes, the second dress, falls into the cocktail dress category, it's never the first choice for a black tie affair. It is an option, and acceptable, but never the first choice.

    Former fashion student here. The first one doesn't flatter your shapes enough. Pretty dull and safe. You can absolutely pull off the second one. It gives a more confident sexy look. i would also shorten it a bit.

    I agree with this. Go with the first one over the second because it's a black tie affair. The second looks more fitting for a coctail bar or date night.

    But honestly, I think I'd go shopping.

    I like the first one. It makes you look long and lean and emphasizes your narrow waist. Plus, you know... cleavage.

    They both look nice, but I'm not sure either is right for the occasion. The material of the first dress looks gauzy & casual, like a maxi dress style. Maybe the material just isn't coming through on the photo.

    The second is a more dressy material, but as others have stated, I'm not sure it's formal since it isn't floor length. I think the second would look good a bit shorter :).

    If you do find another option, post pics! :)

    Thanks for all the replies guys!! All of them put together sum up what I'm thinking about those dresses.

    Option 1- Love the neckline, waist and fabric. It doesn't emphasize my thighs. It's more formal too
    Dislike that it doesn't flatter my butt (I work out so hard to get it better)

    Optio 2- Love my butt in it. I like that is less classic
    The length is weird. I can wear it shorter but I have huge knees...
