I may be in the minority, but I kind of find the Donna Rico dress a bit...boring? Too conservative for the way I imagine you dress, anyway. *g*
I think babydoll dresses should be abolished for anyone over 22, so I vote no on that one. I actually think my favorite is the green Tahari dress, although I do see how it could be too short. (Depends on your opinion of shortness in re: formal dress.)
If you can pull off strapless (I can't) then my vote is for the magenta J.Crew dress. I think silk chiffon is a lot more practical than you might imagine. I have a silk chiffon dress that I took to Europe with me, and it did just fine rolled up in my bag.
Have you tried on the blue strapless Tahari dress? I think it's a bit busy, but I've learned that I, at least, can't wear anything that has a bow right there - it's the thinnest part of me, and putting something that billows right there makes me look even heavier than I am. *g* But it is very pretty, if you've tried it on and like it (although I still think I like the strapless J.Crew dress better.)
