Thanks, Joy, that is great to know. Now I know what I am looking for. I was admiring how that scoop neck didn't seem too deep. It's so hard to tell from the models.

Wow, 10! Glad you are keeping them. I love both on you so much!

I haven't read the other comments but I would keep both if your budget allows. I think they are fabulous and now covet your wardrobe! I have a special fondness for the grey as I think it could be worn to so many events - especially the type of event I never know what to wear! Perfect!

Yes, I agree with others who say keep both if you can. The grey one (first pic) is my fave. I love how it hangs, and you'll be able to read it up with jewellery. I spend a lot of time in Boulder (my Mum is in a retirement community there), and have a similar EF dress that in wear all the time, it's a perfect weight to deal with the temp changes. The second dress sounds versatile. You'll appreciate those sleeves as the sun is super strong.

I love the woven one! Fabulous with the shoes. I'm less enthusiastic about the grey knit one due to the lack of structure.

Wow. I second everyone else on keeping both! They look like they were made for you. That first one is the dress I have been looking for all my life... Thanks for the info on sizing. That is helpful. I can see you having and loving these for years.

Well I am glad it is all decided. Of course keep both!

Thank you all for your helpful comments. Sarah the White, I think these dresses will accomodate some weight fluctuations. I should be able to enjoy them for years.
Aliona, thank you for the information on Boulder. I hadn't considered the stronger sun at that altitude. I would appreciate any clues to what older women generally wear in the area. What I have seen I would describe as quirky.

They are just lovely on you, and I think versatile. I am pleased you are keeping.

Joy, they both look great on you. I had the same dark grey and also a light grey with handkerchief hem and no one liked the dark grey on me. It killed me because it was on massive sale. Your two dresses are very different, and look good, so you should keep both.

They do look great and they look multi-seasonal too.
