The second one is fantastic. It works on every skin tone. And as long as you get the right size and it fits in all the right places you will be fine. Make sure you check the size chart for the dress and then measure yourself properly before you decide to buy it. Thats the most important thing you want to do in the case of ordering any kind of dress from the internet.

Definetely the second one. The fabric looks sturdier, and the cut of the dress is more flattering on the model. Plus that dress could work for multiple occasions after your party

Both dresses are nice, but that green one is gorgeous. You'd have to watch what jewelry you wore with it because it's so decorated.

The shoes seem to be a bit aggressive for either dress. Maybe something a little more delicate.

Have a fun party.

The green one has no shape to it at all, and that can make you look even larger. The purple doesn't have that much defined shape either, but it's a little better. If you're body conscious you want a dress with structure, and a well-defined hight waistline (empire) to help make you look like you have a teeny-tiny waist and super long legs.

Dresses with shapes like these ones are very flattering:
