OT ... Can I get your opinion?

I vote for the brown one!  I think you look stunning in it! My cousin is getting married this weekend and I have bought 5 dresses to wear to the wedding.  Two got too big and the others are going to be for rehearsal and wedding. 

I think you'll need to post photos of yours too! I always love looking at the 'fashion shows' you put on with your lovely gowns.

Hi Barb, Like Deb, I looked at your pictures before I voted.  I am thrilled to see that you're thinking of wearing both - the brown one to the wedding and the eggplant to the reception.  I love the tailored look, but you look stunning in both.  And how cool to wear the bohemian like dress to a wedding in SF?  Beautiful.  Simply beautiful. Be sure and show us pictures so we can see the whole stunning cast.   Best, Angela

Thanks Angela! I'll post photos after the wedding in september
