I don't know why but the second one just looks kinda frumpy. I vote for the see by chloe.

Another vote for the See by Chloe. I like the FC lace pattern in the blue more than in the white for some reason.

I just can't get past the price difference, which puts me on Team French Connection!

Hmmm, I like the longer sleeves on the FC one, but I guess it depends on how you'll be wearing it. Are you planning to layer over it with a jacket or cardigan? If yes most of the time, then I vote See by Chloe. If not, then maybe I'm swinging over to the FC one, by a hair. But you really have to order both and try them on for us, scaffolding be damned!

I think the second one might look frumpy because the sleeves are too long for that model's arms. I like the pattern of the lace better on that one, though, and the price is much better.

Yes, See ...I like the style of the second but the very large circles make it look more like a doily to me.

I love this style of dress, but I really, really hate the patchwork thing on the SbC. Way too 90s for me.

I prefer the French Connection dress. I like the length, it's a little longer than the Chloe dress. Also I like the pattern. I'm not crazy about the Chloe sleeves. I preferred the other body con lace dress from the last round. But I think I like the FC dress just as much.

I'll be the dissenter. I prefer the SbC one. I don't like the texture of the FC dress. For lace, it seems awfully heavy and clunky to me. That is my immediate reaction, w/out thinking too much.

I'm looking for one too! That's funny!
I'm on SYC and I'm saving for a lace dress!
Love the French Connection dress! It's young and it can easily be dressed down with a denin jacket!

The FC dress looks more boho to my eyes, Anna I remember the SbC dress as being longer, I must have imagined that. I vote SbC if the length is okay on you.

Can I be a goof and ask were one would wear something like this? Is it a night life thing?
I think they'd be long tops for me <=+l but I like either styley wise--but not in love with the patchwork look of #1

I love both, but I think the FC would get more mileage. =)

p.s. OT: I finally was fast on the draw and scored a Corey Lynn Calter blouse during a Gilt Groupe sale last week! Made me think of you--I just can't seem to put things in my cart fast enough on the GG site. I don't know how you score so often! True talent.

I'm here! Sorry. The wrists and arms are unfortunately an ongoing concern as I have pretty bad injuries. I try to manage it, but it’s a very slow process and I cannot get to forum threads like I used to.

Anna, I still love the S by C dress. But I also love the FC dress. For those price points can you order both and then decide?

I vote FC dress, I like the shorter sleeves with warmer weather coming up.

Angie-Sorry to hear you are still tender.

i loooove the see by chloe dress. it's pretty short but i like that also! i think, although it's pretty pricey, you might get more mileage out of it, as the shape and style would give you more styling options. others might be more creative than i am, but i can't see any other way to wear the second dress.
