Need help with picking a dress please! o:

[Harley]

Okay, so I'm going dress shopping soon. These are the styles I'm considering looking for.

I'm trying to go for something simple, yet with a slight edge to it. I would like to look my full age, but the have a somewhat playful/youthful tone to it, if that makes sense.

I am definitely open to ideas.

I need suggestions! o:

The white and black dress is pretty nice.

Dresses look different on different women. Do you have a picture of yourself so we can imagine how you might look in one of these dresses?

[Linebacker]

Since I've seen you I think something bright red will suit you.

I don't know if you like that color or not.

First one is too much boob hanging out. You will get attention but for the wrong reasons.

Two is pretty but the way open back is a lot of exposure.

I'd go with the third one.

I'd pick number two. Open back is sexier than decolte, and it's not vulgar. But little less kitsch maybe. This is just my opinion

Many good suggestions so far, but then agin tastes are different. As Linebaker said, I also think that red or rather a darker shade of orange might suit you well, but possibly it has to be b/w- idk.. And less Kitsch, but tates are different.
I personally like straight and simple 60ies style cuts, both on dresses and mens suits.

I think I'm going to be out looking for similar styles and trying them on, so I'll take pics then.

I do like red. I wasn't sure if the color suited me or not.

When you see someone, do you first take in the color and then the manner in which it's applied or does it all come as one big picture?

I know for sure that one of my stronger points is legs.

I didn't know if the first picture would be playful in the way where cleavage would be framed, but you're right. It would be deviating from the message I wanted to send.

I wanted to emphasize my assets, which would be legs, chest, maybe butt area.

I wanted to be respectful of my age but also smolder, if that makes sense.

For which purpose do you need it ?

This is my style too, I like the casual cut but bright colors of the dress. I think it would be too casual for the situation, but definitely beautiful(I like simple styles best).

For which purpose do you need it ?

First anniversary dinner at an upscale restaurant.

I've never been to something like this, so I'm very nervous about how to look.

So the purpose is formal.
How about this style?
