Cute dress!

It fits gorgeously. I got the right length, and the perfect sleeve for me, and I got a really good deal, and it has POCKETS! And I haven't had a pretty new dress in about 4 years and I LOVE IT.
I'm afraid a guard like that would just lead to me burning myself on another part of the rack out of a false sense of security.
Okay, I need an executive decision. I'm doing a retro pin-up photoshoot for Tim's birthday in 2 weeks (SUPER nervous), and they have a bunch of sets to choose from. I told Tim he could pick, since it's his birthday present, and he picked the kitchen set definitely, and for the other is torn between schoolteacher and secretary. He told me to pick, and I totally can't.
If you're on FB (and I think even if you aren't), you should be able to see these photo sets from the studio -- this is the secretary set: [link] and this is the schoolteacher set: [link] (This is the kitchen, which is a definite yes already: [link] (Some of those kitchen shots are lingerie, but I am wearing a dress or a sweater/skirt.)

My question would be whether you think the yellow or white background color would look better for you? I would run very fast from the yellow, but that's me.
Schoolteacher
Erin, that dress is super cute! But I'm so reluctant to order online--per their size chart, I need a 16 bust, at least an 18 waist, and probably a 14 hip...but I own a size 12 dress from them that fits fine. So I'd hate to order something and either have it hang on me, OR have it not zip up! But I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they have pockets in their dresses (I've actually had a few of them, because they send their returns to Value Villages here!)
I think I like the schoolteacher set better, because the secretary ones just look a little weird--I think it's the angles.

Oh, good point! They have a lot of "floating" backdrops that are colored paper/canvas/something, so they might be able to put a different color behind the secretary set. I hate yellow and it makes me look horrible.
(Of course, I ALSO thought green looked awful on me, and Facebook vehemently disagreed with that yesterday, so I clearly have NO idea about colors and such.)

I'm leaning more schoolteacher, because I think the seated shots are not my friend, if past pictures of me are any guide. But then I also feel like with the secretary set, I can hide my buddha belly behind a desk.
