Blue or coral??

The Girls from Savoy dress from Anthro that I already have in black. Do you think I should keep one of these colors? If so, which one? The blue has a lighter blue trim around the neckline, which wasn't obvious on the website. I have a coral-y red jersey summer dress but its a little snug at the moment.

This is at the end of the day in bathroom fluorescent light, FWIW. Not optimal conditions, but if either of these colors were really unflattering, this light would show it!

I like the coral ish one. Very flattering on you.

I prefer the blue one, you look really good in any kind of blue it seems!
I find this coral a bit too neon-y and hard on the most of skin colors.

Coral! It's bright and pretty on you and more of a contrast to the black. I bet if you kept blue, over time it would feel like pretty much the same dress as the black.

I like the blue because your face is the attraction. In the coral my eyes go to the dress.

Coral! It brightens up your face. We all know how hard it is to NOT look washed out in fluorescent lighting.

Coral! Like the color on you, and I feel like the blue will act as another black, whereas the coral will be its own dress.

The color of the coral seems to be more flattering to you in these pictures, so I say go with coral.

You light up more in the blue.

I think the crowd is divided on this issue because you look so brilliant in both of them!!!

I think the coral is a better summer colour, but for versatility, the blue may last you in the long run.

Both look fab, Janet. I agree with what lyn said!

bear in mind that the lighting situation is not ideal so i reserve the right to change my mind in daylighting...

i prefer the coral because it warms your face. normally you look really fab in blue, but in this lighting with this blue, you look a bit washed out in the photo.

I think both colors flatter your face but I prefer the dress itself in the blue.

Blue by a mile! I see I am in the minority, however. And I can see the advantage of coral as a more distinct difference from the black that you already have.

It looks like the coral dress is blousier in the top than the blue. Although thye are likely the same size, I prefer the fit on the blue.

Well I think you fab in both but if I have to pick I am choosing the blue. Just gorgeous on you.

I like the coral. But it's a great dress -- why not get both? *enables*

Eliza

Another vote for blue. Really popped off my screen!

You guys are not making this easier! I think they're neck and neck at this point. I think the fit is the same on them both -- they're just fresh out of the packaging and there is some wrinkling that hasn't fallen out yet.

I think you look great in the blue. The coral one is nice but see the dress before I see you.

Coral! For some reason the contrast trim on the blue makes it feel less sophisticated for me. Plus the coral seems to really light up your face.

Nicola

I can't make up my mind either. The blue is calmer and classic. The coral is bright, fresh and happy. Can't wait to see hat you decide.

Nicola

*what* you decide!

The blue. Although -- both look great. The coral has a different vibe, is there use for both? The coral comes off as more casual/beachy. If you only have room for one, I'd keep the blue because it's less loud.

(And I think both are attractive colors on you.)

Gosh, this is a tricky one. Denise made a good point about the coral lookiing more casual/beachy. But it is a *summer* dress so perhaps that is a vibe you don't mind? Both colours look great on you.

Coral! I am not a fan of the light blue piping on the blue.

What Caro said. I prefer the blue!
