Which dress is nicer?

http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online//Polka-Dot-Tea-Dress/29300

http://www.peacocks.co.uk/product/index.jsp?productId=4528401&prodFindSrc=cart

They are both for work and there is money off them both so the price is the same - Im completely torn. Is the spotty one too dressy for work? Is the peacocks one a bit too old for me? (Im 22)
Arggghhh.

    For work (depending on what sort of thing you do!!) Id err towards the peacocks one - and I actually prefer that one of the two... you can make it more "young" with accessories dont forget, but its sensible enough for if you have to be sensible ever !!

    both nice though - but I thik you are going to have to try them both on and see what you think that way.

    I like the second one better.
  • Thank you. I dont mind ordering them both but if I want to return one (which I prob would as I cant really afford the 2) I wouldnt get my p&p back would I? Bit of a bummer. :(
    Think I prefer the peacocks one...looks very Kate Middleton :rotfl:

    Spotty one! I'd wear it to work if I worked in the right kind of place and I'm 29!

    The second one looks more versatile - you can ring the changes with accessories. But having said that I have a similar spotty one like the Matalan one that I wear for work :D
  • I like the Peacocks one as it is a fairly classic design and you can team it up with a little cardie. :) I work in an office too and would definitely wear the second but am not sure I would the first. :)

    Thanks, I do like the spotty one...its so hard! If I want the peacocks one I need to order it by tonight as the 20% expires, but I havent actually checked the Matalan where I live for the spotty one - if they have it in stock I could get it for £11 rather than £15. But if I order it online I dont have to pay until my credit card bill arrives lol!!

    Not sure how short the spotty one would be!?

    Thanks for everyones help!:)

    I believe this is not the case, and you are actually entitled to your delivery costs back too, should happen to return an order in full.
