Suz,
SO laughing at British tablecoth fashion comment! I often think that and choose prints carefully as a result. Sometimes I see the extended Royal Family in as much and wonder: Do their eyes adjust differently from mine?

Thanks, ladies. I enjoyed your thoughtful and intuitive opinions. Keeping things short - right arm is sore

No plaid! Too dark.

Saw the camel in stores. Did not like the shade. Too mustard and muddy. Need Citron or Toffee.

Need to see the exact shade of red. I tried the stripe. VERY Summery and lovely. More casual.

PLAN: Ordering the red and the stripe to assess which looks best. Stay tuned.

I'm late here but Red all the way.

Huh. Too late, I see I thought about this while trying to get to sleep last night and here are my thoughts:

Plaid - to wear with white ankle boots. Yes,I thought it was too dark at first too, but with white boots, which you rock with the best of them??
I would love to see that on you.

Red - you already have a watermelon red dress that's new this summer. Stripe - eh - not too sure about that as it could look candy-striper-ish, but I also know you will make it look great. Anyways, I'm in for plaid for an early fall look

Red! Next option, red! I always love a stripe pattern, but every woman needs a red dress in her closet, and this one is fantastic.

Slight preference for the red and then the plaid!
I can just imagine how fun that red dress would be to wear on a gloomy Seattle day.

Thanks, sweet ladies. This was a fun poll. I was entertained

• I have THREE watermelon dresses - they are not tomato red. More pink. It's not a problem. I love brights.

• I have many blue dresses, and am not feeling another dark blue dress. Although the plaid is VERY cute.

• I don't have a light blue striped dress anymore. So adding one could be great.

I am late to the show but I like the best red and the second stripe, just try both and choice which one you like the best.

Now, I can say definitely a blue striped one, completely summery.

Oh good idea to get both an compare
I mean, it is hard to turn down seersucker.

Chiming in late here...but I vote RED! It just seems like it will be the most versatile and season spanning. I'm seeing it at a fun Valentine's Day lunch with your gal pals. If the weather were too cool, a white or black moto topper would be an awesome juxtaposition.

Red!

I vote... YES!

The stripe is how I think of you. Pretty, light, cheery, and all that other nice stuff.

However, knowing your style preferences, maybe the red. You do love a tomato red

Without having read any comments: Red. If it’s tomato red, it’s your happy color.

I’m glad you’re getting both. You never know how you’ll like them until you see them in person.
