Eeek! I've been invited to a rather cool gala and I'll be needing a dress. I want it to be something classic but not boring. I will be about 2 months post-delivery so I need this dress to be very forgiving too.

I found several on Shabby Apple that had a kind of "vintage clothing" kind of feel. 1, 2, 3, 4

Which would you choose?

And I may be needing these Ann Roth shoes too.....
at 5/18/2013 I love all of them, but #4 is gorgeous!

I think #2 is really pretty. Especially if it's a formal affair.

May 18, 2013 at 10:51 PM Pick number 2. Then all eyes will be on your rack and no one will notice any leftover baby bump. Was that a classy response? I know you're going for classy here...

May 18, 2013 at 11:40 PM Well, I do have a great rack. Good point.

I would pick 3 for me and 2 for you.

May 19, 2013 at 12:24 AM I have to say #2 is my least favorite. The fabric looks really cheap and I think where the waist ties may be unflattering on a newly post-partum belly. An empire waist would be better. 4 is my pick!

May 19, 2013 at 11:04 AM I love #4! Lace is always gorgeous and black is slimming. :)

May 19, 2013 at 7:45 PM I like #1 or #3. Very pretty!

3 and 4 are my favorites!
