Opinions wanted: Guimard Dress


I’ve already reviewed the Guimard Dress ($148). I’ve already chosen this as my July buy. The question is which pattern? Or, sorry, motif. The blue or the red? (I would like to say both but cash flow denies.) This dress is one of those great shapes that is universally flattering. I feel like everyone should own one dress like this — it makes me happy each time I try it on.

For your consideration:

blue (aka brown motif)
red (aka red motif)

I am leaning towards the blue because you could wear it now and in the fall. But the red is so different from anything in my closet. Do you own this dress? What do you think?

    The blue, with the vertical lines, flatters you more than the red. The dress looks great on you!

    I agree: the blue is more flattering because of the vertical motifs.I never considered that dress, but after seeing it on you, I find it more than interesting! It fits very well.

    I second all the opinions on blue. It makes you look fab. In fact, I had the same dilemma and I ended up picking the blue too. I think the bigger pattern on the blue adds to your curves. The red looks somewhat too busy to me.

    blue! it seems more unique but also more versatile (easier to pair with cardigans/blazers, etc)

    I tried it on too and walked away because I couldn't decide. I do like the blue on you.

    Thank you all for your opinion! The blue is sitting in a shopping bag next to me, and I've got a happy Friday smile.
