Ha, ha, ha -- Don't worry -- the 'Poll' bit doesn't come up in the 'Recent Posts' Section!
It was so hard choosing just 3 -- I wish that I had more options! I chose:
Number 3: Blue Sequined Classical Brits 2004
I love this dress! It's so interesting and detailed! The perfect princess dress for a girl who had just exploded onto the international music scene!
Number Eight: Lavender Dress with Flower Details
I love this dress and the way the fabric falls! So pretty!
Number 14: Ivory Dress
When I first saw these photos I was so impressed! Hayley really looks the diva princess in this dress!
Highly Commended
-- Pink and White Birthday Dress (Number 4)
-- Yellow Dress with Gold Sequins
-- Green Celtic Dress
-- Black Dress with Gold Detailing (Number Seven)

Hi Jono,
I'm a bit surprised that the 'Celtic Green' dress hasn't had a vote yet -- it's definitely what you'd call an 'iconic Hayley Dress' -- it really was 'The' dress for the Celtic Treasure album.
I think that the second 'defining' dress of Hayley's is probably set to be the Red Poppy Dress -- likewise it has been christened with a nickname! :rollin
The Black and Gold dress must also be a favourite of Hayley's because I think that she's worn that dress as much as any other -- it's been on solid rotation of performances and red carpet events for almost a year now. I think that we're going to have to eventually wrench that dress out of Hayley's cold, limp fingers!! :rollin Not that that's a bad thing, it's a beautful dress (and seems easy to pack /transport/ change into) and I know what it's like when you find something you really love!

Hey Jillian,
Question: Do other female artists re-use their dresses at different shows and events? Or do they go out and buy a new dress for each one? I think it's awesome that Hayley re-uses hers!

Well, if you're talking about stage costumes, sure. Most performers decide on clothes that they will wear for a tour and then stick to that. After all, that's what these dresses are -- but occasionally they do make red carpet appearances.
It sometimes makes me wonder why Hayley wears her stage dresses for red carpet events etc. I mean, I have only a minuscule fraction of her money, but I love buying new dresses!
I suppose it probably comes down to a combination of being so used to wearing flash dresses all the time that the novelty wears off and not having the time to go shopping.
I think I remember reading a quote where Hayley said that she often doesn't like shopping for evening dresses as she'd rather be buying casual clothes. I think that's indicative of the parallel universe that Hayley lives in -- I would bet that would not be the way 90% of the rest of the female population would view it!
However, if you go through the candid shots of Hayley arriving at venues etc you'll see that she does recycle a lot of her casual clothes too. Of course, that's normal.
After all, Hayley is pretty much a normal person. She might be famous, but it's only in her capacity as a performer and when she turns up to work. The rest of the time when she's 'off duty' I gather she leads a fairly interfered with life.

Hi Dean, I think I didn't chose that dress because I wasn't sure how to describe it! No matter what anyone says, I maintain that dress is yellow!!  Hayley: "Beats me what colour this dress actually is!" |

Hi Dean, I think I didn't chose that dress because I wasn't sure how to describe it! No matter what anyone says, I maintain that dress is yellow!! Hi Jillian Well another HWI Member (It was Roger or Grant) & I have asked Hayley (It was Barrow or BWH) what colour it was and Lime was her reply. Cheers Dean |

That was very tough, because Hayley looks stunning in any dress she wears.
However, my first choice was #16, The Green Celtic Dress...obviously!
Second was #9, The Black Dress with Gold Pattern. I seen Hayley perform in this dress on The River Of Dreams Tour.
Third choice was #19, The Blue Dress.
Those I highly recommend are #20, The Black Dress with Diamante Detailing, and #24, The Orange/Coral Dress.

Hi Jillian As has already been noted you have put a lot of effort into creating one of the most comprehensive polls we have ever seen. Trouble is, that's made it very difficult for us to choose our favourites!  That's why I have been sitting on the fence for a while. Anyway, I have now voted for my three although deciding what order to put them in wasn't so easy but, I've made my decision and surprised myself in the process. So, in order ... Number Eleven: Red Poppy DressI didn't like this dress when I first saw a picture of it but now I love it. It is 'sexy' in the nicest possible way; it is very feminine and shows off Hayley's figure without being tacky but, most of all it is a 'fun' dress which Hayley seems to really enjoy wearing. Number Five: Gunmetal and Blue Classical Brits 2009 DressI think this is just a very classy dress which stands out because it is so different from anything else. Number Sixteen: Green Celtic DressSurprised myself here by putting this dress in third place as it has been my favourite Hayley dress for a long time. I still love the design of the bodice and its Celtic style and I'm sure it will always be high up on my list of favourite Hayley dresses. Number Twelve: Black Dress with ButterfliesHad I had four votes, this one would be next so I guess it has to be highly commended. Again, this is a fun dress which Hayley also wore after the 2008 CB Awards along with her black platform shoes - a memorable 'fun' outfit. I find it hard to consider those dresses that I have never actually seen Hayley wearing as they are 'just pictures' I will, however, make an exception for the ivory dress which I think is exceptional. Best wishes Grant Best wishes Grant |

i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifMy favourite is No 16 Celtic Dress. Hayley just looks lovely in it. 2nd was No 11 Red Poppy Dress as I think she looks sexy in it. 3rd was No 9 Black Dress with Gold pattern. I like the black dresses Hayley wears and especially this one with the patterns.

Hi everyone,
After deliberating a while, I chose
Number Five: Gunmetal and Blue Classical Brits 2009 Dress
I don't know what I like most about this dress! The colours are great, as is the way the material falls to the floor. And the detailing on the bodice is also wonderful! Lindka is certainly a very talented dress designer.
Number Six: Red Dress with Corsage at Shoulder
Simple and beautiful seems to sum it up! Gorgeous cut... gorgeous material... and it has a corsage!
and Number Twenty-Four: Orange/Coral Dress with Beading on Straps
There is something about this dress that reminds me of my life. I really don't know what it is, but the dress is very 'homey' to me.
Highly commended would have to go to all the rest! but especially to
Number Eight: Lavender Dress with Flower Detailing on Bodice
Another Lindka creation! I love the tulip edging on the skirt and the colour... it is another great colour for Hayley!
Number Fourteen: Ivory Dress
This dress is, to me, very Jane Austen-ey. I love Hayley and the Jane Austen era. Perfect match.
and Number Twenty-Two: White Dress with Silver Sequins
Again, tulip edging! The sequins make the dress look like it is covered in crystal icicles. Just beautiful!
Now I feel like an editor for a Hayley fashion magazine!

Oh, all her dresses are very pretty, so it was very hard to choose just 3!
I chose #8, the lavender one with the floral print, #22 the white sparkly dress (that's what I call it), and the Blue dress. I know there are others more glamorous than the blue one, but I've always liked it. I really do like the metallic dress from the CBA, and the black with gold floral print very much. I think both CBA dresses this year were very flattering on her figure, especially the lavender one.
