A vital question about OVFF.

I am still sick, which means that my attendance at this weekend's OVFF may be in question. I'm still planning as if I'll be better in time, and so I have a very important question to put to the floor:

Which of my two otherwise identical dresses should I pack for the Pegasus Banquet? The orange, or the green?

Poll #1787596 Pick my dress!

Do I wear the orange or the green?

Orange, like the Great Pumpkin's heart.
155(51.3%)
Green, like the all-embracing corn.
108(35.8%)
Ticky box or treat!
39(12.9%)

I think green will go better with your hair :)
Hee, noted.
Orange! You can accessorize it with green and be the Pumpkin Girl.
Nice.
Depends on what jewelry you have. Personally, I'd say get orange pumpkin* jewelry and wear the green.

* Or general autumn and harvest jewelry. Gold and copper leaves would look awesome with a green dress. Oooh, and now I have to draw something...
this is what I was going to suggest! :-)

Cut the dresses in half and have someone who sews turn them into two orange/green parti-coloured dresses!

Darn, someone got to this idea first!

I'm silly and was thinking blue or yellow, but I watch My Little Pony, and you can be any color pegasus you want.
I am an orange Summer Wing Pony.
I'm biased because green is my favorite color!
Fair!
I'm Scot's-Irish, so I have to say orange. ^_^ [TBH, I'm scots, irish, scot's-irish & welsh - so I actually like both choices of color. Could you take both?]
No, they're quite large.
The photographer in me wants to see the shades of each. The Methodist in me says Catholic or Protestant?

Oh, thank you!

Orange, like candy corn!
Nom.
I have no opinion. The silly in me says wear the orange one (assuming it has a very poofy (that's a word right?) skirt) with a long green-stemlike hat. I can't imagine how to make the green one look like an actual corn stalk unless it is layered.
I could just wear corn...

If you are feeling a bit shite, I'd suggest wearing the comfiest one that is lowest maintenance so you don't spend all evening worrying about if it's sitting correctly etc.
this is an excellent suggestion. which is most comfortable?

Orange all the way. You rocked that at Worldcon. The green looked nice too, but this is Halloween.
Yes!
Given a vote? Green. It's my favorite color, I have to! Plus IIRC, I saw more of the orange dress than the green one in the Hugo video (missed the actual appearance, alas), and want to see the green one!

Plus, you are more Orange than Green (unless you are really sick, in which case I hope you feel better--actually, I do that anyway), so the green provides pumpkin-like greenery.


But obviously, you should wear whichever one you feel like at the time!
Hee.
I said orange because so few people can rock it. Anyone can rock green.
True.
Orange.
Yes.
Orange rarely works as a color for clothing.
And yet it does in this dress.
I'm Irish Catholic but Halloween is my favorite holiday and autumn my favorite season, so I vote for the orange.

I wish I looked good in orange, but it makes me look like the walking dead. Sin beatha.
Sad!

Love your Bernard icon.
From the video, you looked fabulous in both. I do hope you are able to defeat your cold and come to the con, as I would miss you if you didn't, but I also want you to get well.

It does occur to me that since there will be a preponderance of orange due to the season green might be more contrasty.
But orange is more fun to hang out in a cornfield in.
The default answer to any color related question is "Orange"
Mine, too!
The one you look really good in. Oh, wait -- that would be either of them. :) Feel better first, hon.
I'm working on it.
*hugs muchly* Hope you feel better!

Also, go for comfort first -- but if they are equally comfortable? Orange.
Hee.
If it is the orange dress you wore presenting the Campbell Award, I can say that is a truly fabulous dress and you look great in it.

If the green dress is the one "Mira" wore for the Hugo Awards, I have not seen that one, I am curious what it looks like, but unfortunately I won't be at OVFF this year.

I'm sure you will look great in either one, and I hope someone will post pictures.

:)

I say orange, with green accessories.

Heels. Hat. Boa.
"Heels. Hat. Boa."

I'm not sure if that last one is feather, or constrictor, but either way I think it would look good.

Green's my favorite color and I adore seeing folks dressed in it!
:)
Yay!
I voted orange. You can put some green streaks in your hair to enhance the pumpkin-y look :P
Heeeee.
