Personally I like the grey one better, but I think the green one might look better on you!
However, sometimes that color of green can make your skin look sallow, so…?
Sorry, that’s not very helpful I know.

The green one. The shape, color and overall look is much better.

That olive green will look absolutely stunning on brown skin. And I actually like how simple it is. I wouldn’t do anything to it. Keep the focus on your face: makeup and hair, gorgeous gem earrings, maybe a pretty bracelet with amber, bronze and gold. Let the dress highlight your skin, so that you wear the dress and the dress doesn’t wear you.

I think that olive color is gorgeous with darker hair, and I have to agree about the back on dress A… not a huge fan. Definitely B

I would definately go with the olive one, I always think green looks stunning on people with your skin/hair/eye colour
Hope your decisions been made a little easier and have a great time!

I love the idea of the olive, especially with a wide gold ribbon sash! But be careful, I think i see beading at the top of it…so that’d be something to coordinate with. Some awesome earrings would be nice too

I have similar coloring and I love the olive color! Definitely try dressing it up a bit, though, as suggested, if you do get it. You shouldn’t rush so much just yet – you do have time to keep looking around. (If it’s in your shipping zone, try Nordstrom’s. Particularly ABS.)

Oh, isn’t it always like that? If only you could have *that* dress only in *that* colour and without the ruching but *with some contrasting piping, please!
Anyway. Love the olive, gorgeous colour. Love the cut and bodice detailing on the silver one. Considering your size (fellow miniature size, here) I think the silver one would be more flattering, actually: a busy bodice would distract from a (probably) small bust.
Good luck!

The olive would look better with your coloring, but in my opinion, it is a bit drab, especially at the bust. If you have the time, I would say keep shopping!
