My High School Reunion is is 3 weeks. I cannot pick a dress by myself -- I just lost 80+ pounds and I want to look nice this time (not so great in the reunion 10 years ago) Please cast your vote! I cannot believe I graduated 40 years ago! It sure went fast. Young folks--enjoy because time passes way too fast! :yawn: so sorry I am not computer smart enough to resize these. :ohwell:

Dress #1

Dress #2

Dress #3

Dress #4 -- same style as #5 but a different material

Dress #5 -- MY FAVORITE....but alas, too small. It took my daughter and hubby both to zip this! It is a size too small, but the only one they had in this color. No way I can fit in this by Sept 13--:sad: Do they still make whale bone corsets???
But I AM keeping the dress. I told hubby when it fits---I get a night on the town!

Thanks for the help. Sometimes it is hard to see yourself what actually looks best!

    Not that that one doesn't look good but I was just assuming there would be options :)

    I like the style of #4 and 5 but prefer the print on 5. The way it nips in under the bust makes your torso look smaller than the other without this.

    Have you tried on any that come in at the waist? You look like you have a tiny little waist there and I suspect it would look even better if you accentuate it :)

    unfortunately---tiny little waist is something I don't have---I am the eternal apple shape!

    Really? From the photos, it honestly looks like you do. Sticking with the floral thing, I think something like would look great on you

    I like #2 and #5.I think #2 makes you look the slimmest plus is has paisleys which were "in"40 years ago. I do like #5 too because it draws your attention up and the color is fun.

    #2 is my fave. It favours your body shape really nicely. And you can never go wrong with b/w

    As I scrolled through I picked #2 then #5. #5 would have been the winner if you hadn't said it was too small. It looks good in the picture but my concern is that if it is too small it may be more obvious in person and uncomfortable. So my vote is #2. Looks great and fits (I assume).

    4 & 5 look the best. I think 1 & 2 look too casual.

    #2 or #4....but you look great in all of them, and #5 is definitely a keeper for the future, since you're not 100% comfortable in it yet. That dress definitely deserves a night on the town! :)
