Yet another ezibuy question! New dress possibilities

OK guys, so thanks to feedback, I'm about to head to the post office and return some ezibuy things. In the end, all I'm keeping is the teal tunic. I'm exchanging the black dress for a size up, as well as exchanging another black shirt for a size up (didn't take pics because it was too small to even button!!!)

That means I'm returning the boots, red dress and teal dress.

Now ezibuy are evil, I just got a new catalogue and noticed these other potential red and teal dresses.

Teal dress: http://www.ezibuy.com.au//Wome.....55406.shtm
Same yummy fabric as the one I'm returning. Possibly a bit shorter which could work. Not sure if the shape will flatter though.

Red dresses:
http://www.ezibuy.com.au//Wome.....55501.shtm
http://www.ezibuy.com.au//Wome.....55500.shtm
Both are made from polyester/elastane which sounds a bit ick to me.

Reckon either are worth investigating? Or should I go for one of the other dresses I've been eyeing online instead?

Sorry for incessant questioning. This ezibuything has opened up a whole can of worms for me!!

Oh I'm in love with the Boden dress for you. It looks the most "you" and will be so flattering for your shape. The MK dress would be nice too, but the Boden one just seems more like your style to me.

I think the teal dress is mostly nice, but I question those gathers. The knot-front red dress would be lovely on you. I don't think polyester is as bad as everyone says it is. I realized most of the dresses I've been buying are polyester, but it doesn't bother me. I'm sure it would bother me even less in winter.

We should all thank our lucky stars that polyester was invested. It has its place in all of our wardrobes. So much more stable than a natural fibre and pretty fiercely fab when blended with a natural fibre.

How do you spell fibre, Tam? Fiber or fibre. Like center or centre.

I vote teal dress! I think it's a nice change from the bohemian boden vibe. Sorry I'm a devil :0)

I like the teal dress the best out of the ones you posted. Love the color. I'm always fearful that polyester anything will be too clingy.

Maya I agree about the boden dress. It is pretty similar to the one I already have, but I love that so hmmmm. It is a very summery fabric though, quite the opposite from these woolen dresses here, so maybe I should consider that seperately. Which red dress do you think I should try - the short or long sleeved one??

Angie we are of the fibre persuasion here. And centre, and colour I think I will def. try out that new teal dress I posted, since I like the colour and fabric so much. Just need to decide whether to give one of the red dresses a go too!!

FH I know what you mean about polyster. In stores I go a lot by fabric feel, so it scares me ordering a man-made fibre from the internet. But I guess I can always return it!!

Tam, that teal dress is exactly the same dress that I have been tempted to purchase too! I LOVE that it looks comfy and soft and warm. (Did you see that Ezibuy has 25% off if you spend over $120? Type in MUMSMONTH.)

To be honest I thought the top red dress you posted looked a tad "mumsey" to me (yes, I know I know that it is not a word and that I've probably spelt it incorrectly as well, but I'm sure you know what I mean!), but I do like the second dress. Or maybe that's just me.....

Glad that you are feeling better you poor thing. It must be really going around as I also had a dodgy throat situation last week. I must say that those steroids do a pretty amazing job though!

oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That teal dress is to die for! I want one now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just so envy of you girls.. so many fab dresses!

I think you might need to get Rute a teal dress too :0)

High five fibre-centre-colour-Tam! Can't wait to see you in the new teal dress. I have high hopes that you'll look stunning!

Hehe Katiepea we can try out the teal dress together. I can vouch for the colour and material ahead of the time. Only one way to find out about fit!! I agree about red dresses.....2nd was my preference too.

Rute let me know if you want one ordered as well!!

Fingers crossed Angie, thanks! Now I just need to decide what to do about boots

I like the teal dress, best followed by the first red dress. Can't wait to see which you decide on!
