laurmurf Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Following Cinnamon's success, we've been prom dress shopping. Too successful, we found 2 beautiful dresses in Monsoon's sale (reduced from £180 to £50 ). Both are lovely in different ways and we just CAN'T decide. Here they are: lovely black and white number lovely purpley pink number Monsoon are happy to have one of the dresses returned within 7 days so we'd love to hear from you by Thursday night. Thanks!

Guest Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I like them both but I think the B&W one has the slight edge, goes better with her skin tone and the elongated lines really flatter her figure. It's a bit more original for a prom too I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I agree. Love the purpley pink colour, but the B&W has a lovely shape and does look nicer. Not so keen on the bodice of the pink one somehow, the detail is lovely but it doesn't quite work as a style No, definitely the B&W one.

missuscluck Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 They are both very lovley. I think I would say the black and white one just has that classy edge. Hope she has a lovley night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 black and white has the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I voted for the black and white one too it just has a little something extra, (plus it will be easier to find matching accessories ) Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Pink is so much more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I prefer the pink - its younger & more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I like them both - hard choice. Love pink - one of my favourite colours so nearly pressed that option. Decided on B & W as its strapless, and looks a bit classier/smarter. (but they are both lovely whichever she decides) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm personally not too keen on the black and white, although it does look good on her skin tone. I much prefer the pink, love the straps on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I like the b&w one it gives her figure a lovely line, the pink one doesn't look as great on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Black and white voted for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitbag Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 b&w for me definately! It suits her figure more I think. I went prom dress shopping today but was unsuccessful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Did you go to Reading Megan & get caught up in the crowds with that fire at the Mall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I voted for the black and white. I thought the purpely pink looked a bit "mother of the bride". Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 But how many other girls will play safe in black? Depends on the character of the wearer and fit in versus stand out...Both fab, so win win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruth1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The black and white is very flattering and looks classier than the pink, Hope she has a lovely night whatever one she chooses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I voted for the b&w dress, I liked it a tiny bit more than the pink (but only a tiny bit ) I go to the Y11 prom every year and I find that the girls that stand out are the ones with a something about it dress, so many of them wear plain black and they just disappear into the rest of the black dresses. both of these dresses have that "something" I also think that the pink one looks rather Greek Goddessy make sure that she feels safe in the dress, I mean, can she dance around for 3 hours and not feel like she will "fall out", so many of the girls I see at the prom "hoik" the dress up, every 5 minutes, Im sure it spoils the evening. did that make sense? btw, she has a lovely figure and looked gorgeous in both of them cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I just couldn't decide, she looks great in them both! Just wondered if one of them made her feel instantly special when she put it on, & comfortable for an evening, more than the other? Also, if she imagines returning one, will she still feel that she is keeping the right one? Sometimes visualising that, then sleeping on it, can help with a decision. Mmmm, the B & W looks sophisticated, and I don't wear pink myself. But, I thought the pink look fun & young, with lovely detail. She will have a beautiful dress, and a bargain, either way. Well done! Looking forward to all the prom pics in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I like them both but voted for the pink one as its such a lovely colour and there is no strapless bra/boob tape/hoiking dilemma with a dress with straps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I chose the b&w one. I think it looks so classy Though the pink one was nice too - she'll look gorgeous whatever she decides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I voted for b&w . I think it's got the edge on figure-flattery (although she looks lovely in both ). The strapless look is slightly more dressy and sophisticated too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I was going to vote for the B & W one (tried it on a week or so ago and it looked nothing like so good on me!) but I can't help thinking that the pink one may be more prom like. Not much help but she will look beautiful whatever she decides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I've voted for the B&W dress, it looks to fit her just right. If she's worried about being in a "boring" colour she could wear a really bright coloured wrap and bag. They are both gorgeous though, I'm very , I love monsoon clothes.
