Help me pick out a dress!!!! Pretty please with a cherry on top
I am going on a girls' weekend to New Orleans for my birthday. The wonderful and amazing Summer is coming and we're going to tear up the town :) I need a HOT dress. I never get to really be sexy, and I want to go all out. So, please help me out! Which do you think is the best? I'm not sensitive, so you can be honest if you think something is just wrong. I might rent two :)
This is my husband's favorite - Helmut Lang Chat Later dress:
Preen Red Sandstorm dress
Herve Leger Instant Chemistry dress
Herve Leger Uncontrollable dress (by far the raciest, my mama thinks I might not be comfortable in this)
Tough choice.
Definitely not #3. Interesting dress, but not a "tear up the town" dress.
Not #2. Good dress, but not for the night scene in New Orleans.
So, between #1 & #4, #1 is shorter, and therefore hot, but #4 is more off the shoulder, and therefore hot.
Given a choice, shorter is better so I pick #1.
Just to be clear, I'm voting from a guy's perspective.

Definitely 1 or 4. I'm leaning toward #1 :) I like the hem line!

Since it's still winter, you could get away with some hot boots!!

Well they're all gorgeous and you could wear any of them! Personally I like the incredibly chic but understated look of Instant Chemistry. It is incredibly sexy, but not overly formal. The horizontal lines are very much on trend right now too, so subtle in style but sizzling in look.
But as I said, this is a tough choice!!

Yeah, I really like Instant Chemistry and I so badly want to wear a Herve Leger bandage dress. I've always wanted to wear a bandage dress, and then you combine it with stripes which actually don't make me look wide anymore and it's game on! I'm at a loss for what kind of shoes. I have lots of heels. Maybe I should pick the dresses, then post photos of shoes so you can help me decide :)
After reading everyone else's comments, I'm thinking your choice might come down to what message you want to convey. If it's 'siren' my choice should not be your choice. But if it's 'smart, sophisticated, but incredibly sexy without trying very hard' this is your best choice. To me, clothes are more interesting when they compliment rather than dominate, but that's a personal preference.
Nude stilettos for this dress, with an amazing extra long pair of chandelier earrings in emerald green or orchid pink and a simple bangle or two.

Very, very good point. I'm not sure what message I want to convey. I've never even tried to convey "siren" so that could just leave me feeling weird and uncomfortable. I like to think I convey smart, sophisticated and a little sexy without trying too hard in my normal life :) Or maybe it's just that I like my jeans so tight.
