Dress help - 3 options, which would you pick

Trying to work out what to wear for a wedding in May, which I have now discovered is going to be followed by a ceilidh.

I had originally bought a straight, strapless navy blue knee length dress (which I can't find a picture of unfortunately) with the plan of wearing a fab hat with it. I have found the said fab hat which is turquoise but can't find any navy (or turquoise) shoes so I'm not sure what other colours I could wear with it. I'm also having second thoughts because it's quite fitted and I'm not sure it's going to be suitable for ceilidh dancing.

I've now found two other dresses that I like which are :-

Debenhams - would wear with chunky pearl necklace & pearly coloured sandals, pink handbag and pashmina, brown saucer hat which is cool.

Coast - would wear same shoes and jewellery but ivory pashmina. Not sure about hat, would have to speak to milliner because hadn't seen this one when I went to see her.

I absolutely love the Coast one but it's rather expensive, like the Debenhams one and it's flattering but a bit "boring".

So which would you go for ?

    I'd definately go for the Coast dress, it's lovely & a little bit different.?

    I too would go for the coats one, in fact, I really want it now and I have nowhere to wear it. It is completely gorgeous!

    I can't get into the coast site now either - I think it's to stop me spending money !

    I like the one from Debenhams. Don't like the coast one at all. Sorry.

    I'm afraid I will have to go against the majority and say I like the Debenhams one - not so keen on the Coast one.

    I like them both but would probably pick the Debenhams one.

    Why don't you go and try them on, then you might find that one looks a lot better than the other on you?

    I love the Debenhams one and have since i saw it in the shop, I think it looks quite quirky not boring at all. Plus it'd give you loads of colour options with shoes etc

    Depends on your figure - the Coast one would be v unflattering if you have big boobs.

    I don't like the coast one- too fussy. The debehams once is quite nice.

    I was going to say pink shoes with the navy but then saw that you've found a turquiose hat - d'oh!

    I don't think the Debenhams one would look right with big boobs either.

    Thanks girls but you've been no help ? I was hoping everyone was going to go for one or the other and that would decide me. I think it might come down to how much money H is prepared to "lend" me - I've tried them both on and they both look really nice, that's despite me having big boobs ?
