I don't know. I look really good in blue, and it's my favorite color, but the envelope has the dress in red, and that just seems right for the style - a deep rosy red, heading to burgundy. black might be nice too.

you can see the styles online at www.simplicity.com - check out the catalogue and then the eveningwear section. they might have some area where you can look things up by number, as well.
