BigMamaBird Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The first one with the silver sash. They're both very pretty, but #1 is stunning on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Left! More sophisticated, imo. Very pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 They are both beautiful! I'm rather partial to the one on the left; it seems rather Audrey Hepburn-ish, and I LOVE that shade of red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle My Bell Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi everyone, this is Michelle (mom). What is funny is the dress on the left is a $5 find from the Goodwill. She altered it to fit better and added the sash. We picked that up at an estate sale this past summer. Since is like a belt I think she is going to permanently attach it to the front so it doesn't go all the way around her. So you all think the sash looks good with the dress. It is too plain without it but I wasn't sure if it looked strange or not. Thanks for your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Love the left dress. The one on the right is too much like the style one usually sees. The left is classic and beautiful without being too common. Very nice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldberry Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Left one with the sash. The sash makes it perfect! What a find... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt. Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The left is so perfect and sophisticated. The sash is what makes it so amazing. It fits your figure perfectly -- not just in 'fit' but in the way it is the perfect-right style for your body's shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamajag Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Maybe put the sash a little lower around her waist? I think it's a little too high but agree the dress would be too plain without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt. Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 No lower! Right there on the smooth line under her breasts is just amazing. (It is sensual -- so if she was 13 with the same body shape, I wouldn't be so enthusiastic, but it's prom, and a young lady can certainly explore modest sensuality on such an occasion.) And the hair up makes a big impact with that neckline too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljenn Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Love the one on the left. Dd is wearing one a lot like that in purple to her formal on Saturday. It's beautiful and classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Left is a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 On a hanger, I like the one on the right better. On your daughter, the one on the left fits perfectly. Very classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStableBeginning Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The one on the left :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I agree with the one on the left. I like the deeper, more rich red. It has cleaner lines and the silver is very elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The left is so perfect and sophisticated. The sash is what makes it so amazing.

Isabella Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just in case you were still undecided, I think left, too!! ;) Beautiful, elegant and classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The left looks like it is more well-made, out of nicer fabric. The sash is beautiful. Nina on Project Runway would say it "looks expensive". And the quality of it makes it look more sophisticated (in a good way). *And* it fits perfectly. Plus - THRIFT SCORE!!! How cool is that?

redheadmom Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just in case unanimous wasnt enough....the one on the left! It is very classy without being boring. Love the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt. Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I noticed in the 2nd right hand photo that all the visible girls have elbow-length sweaters or similar items on. Does this occasion require coverage (for warmpth or conservatism)? If so, choose carefully, as that look would be easily ruined by the wrong sort of topper. I can't put my finger on quite what to reccomend... But I can think of a lot of things that would look terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think the one on the left is more sophisticated. ditch the necklace (it detracts), wear hair up, and some very blingy drop earrings. (and if they have rubies to offset the diamonds, so much the better.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TranquilMind Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Left! More sophisticated, imo. Very pretty! Agreed. The Left one is much more sophisticated...sort of Jacqui Kennedy-like, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I agree with gardenmom. The dress on the left, with the sash, without the necklace, hair up, drop earrings. It looks amazing on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Casting yet another vote for the one on the left! :) The Hive is Unanimous!!!!! (And come on, how often does that happen???) She's gorgeous and the dress is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
