Dress for 10th anniversary

[niccig]

I'm looking for a dress to wear out to dinner for our anniversary. I've cleaned out my closet and don't have a dressy dress that's not too formal to wear. So thought this is a good time to get something.

I really like this, but I think I'm a 6 with Boden and they only have it in the flame. I think that will work with my coloring - similar to model's except where she has reddish highlights, mine are now grey.

Any other suggestions. I'm pear shaped, with smaller top than bottom.

THanks.

I am a big time pear (!) and wore this dress to my daughter's first communion. i got a bright turquoise color, which isn't online, but i found in the store.

I really like the one you picked, very classy and I think you'd get a lot of use out of it. But if you're just looking for other options, I like this, it seems cute and flirty:

If your anniversary is further off in autumn, I like this:
