    I'm going to a wedding in South Africa in a few weeks and I really like this dress but I just can't decide which colour. Thought I'd get some Boardsies' personal opinions on the matter just to see what other people prefer. I'm 5'6 and a size 10 if that in any way helps.

    So ladies (and men), black or coral? :)

    Both are gorgeous - what is your colouring like? That might make a difference.

    I'm pale enough but not ghostly pale, I've a hint of colour I suppose. And dark brown hair.

    I like the first one (orange) It's perfect for a wedding in South Africa; mirrors the beautiful sunset colours.

    Just something to consider, it is winter in South Africa at the moment and July is the coldest month. Depending on where in South Africa the wedding is, it could actually be colder than it is here.

    The wedding's in Durban and temperatures are pretty warm at the moment, low to mid 20s. :)

    Both are lovely but I'd go with the black because I think its looks more dressy

    Black for me but did you check material composition? The stiching of the edges almost looks as something you would see on a very casual dress (like a beach dress). Or it might be just my phone screen, photos can be deceiving at the best of times.

    I agree with this. Plus be careful with the split in the dress you could end up flashing your crotch. It wouldn't be a dress I'd pick for a wedding (sorry)
