Purple vs orange Bailey 44 dress - help me decide!

cciele

Got the purple Bailey 44 dress today. It's a size S, as opposed to the orange which is size M. Which dress works best, do you think?

Fyi, i am wearing 4" platforms with the orange dress and 2.5" booties with the purple.

Thanks for your help! This is a lot of money for me to spend on a dress so I want to get it right

Purple! I like the purple one best by far. The stripes show up way better on that one, and the stripes are a big part of what gives that dress its charm. Looks great on ya.

Gosh, that's tough. I like them both alot! I guess if I had to choose, I'd go with the orange. What a fun color!

They both look fantastic on you but I think I'd give the edge to the orange. Not that I'm biased or anything... The purple is great with the higher contrast stripes, but I like the orange color with your skin better. Either way you can't go wrong. Which size feels better to you?

I LOVE the purple on you. The styling with the booties is perfect as well.

I can't really decide between the colors, I think they both look really great on you. I do prefer the dress styled with the higher heel, as you did with the purple dress (not sure if that helps you, though). : )

I prefer the orange! It brings out the streaks in your hair. I also prefer that size.

Oh goodness, it seems like a toss up!

I like the color of the orange better but the purple fits better from mid-thigh down. Hmm!

I prefer the purple, and I don't see much difference in the size. The orange tiers don't seem to show up as well, and of course the tiers are the whole charm of this dress!

Good point about the tiers and the contrast. Still waffling, and now looking at that dress Rae posted :b

Ooh! These both look so good on you - crossing my fingers hard for the black one to work for me. I also like the purple on you; I like how the high contrast stripes look with your fair skin and dark hair. I would not have a fit if you kept the orange, though. They both look amazing, and the fit differences are negligible IMO.
