Michelle Obama seems to be seen in dresses often; I think wearing dresses is going to be more in now that it used to be. Also, the news said that hemlines are getting longer -- I guess every time the economy weakens, hem lines go down. Why? Who knows? All the dresses are cute; I can see you wearing any one of them.

Not b...I definitely would have chosen the last one! Not because the other two weren´t nice, I just loved the design (and glamour) of nr 3! It would have been less of a party dress without the belt, and a silk that isn´t shining that much. Go for classic colours - then you can use all dresses forever. As for pattern, simple and small is better than large flowers etc - in my opinion! Just imagine dress nr 3 in black with golden high heeled shoes, a clutch (that´s a purse kind of handbag, right?) and a golden neckless. Absolutely stunning for a party and so posh! Especially if you do your hair in a Jennifer Lowe Hewitt kind of way, or strighten it, like Jenifer Aniston. Anne Hathaway´s hair look from Bride Wars would be pretty cool on you too, I think. If you tone it down with sandals or ballerina shoes, you could easily wear it for work. I love wearing dresses for work! The others are nice too, though. And the gold/brown pattern would look stunning on you! Once you get me going writing about fashion, I cannot quit!

I feel it has a real advantage if you should ever find yourself in a situation where you are on stage with people throwing money at you because the over-sized "funnel" collar would really help catch more of it.<BR/><BR/>But if that one truly isn't an option (if you're looking for something less practical I mean) then I think the first two are acceptable. <BR/><BR/>Since you mention the show, I can totally see the third dress being worn on <I>Sex and the City</I>.

When my mom told me to pick out a dress that I liked, I would personally have to say Brian's, but since that one is kinda out of the contest, I would have to say the first one or the third one. i could see the first one on you, but the third one is cute with a little bit of a twist to it. Anyhoo, I would have to say for you that I like the first one with the blue, black, and white meterial.
