Something to wear over a sleeveless dress please

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Needs to be black and probably cropped. Not a blazer (live in the flipping things at work) and not a cardigan. Any ideas, please?

[CMOTDibbler]

I'm a bit addicted to them, but would some Wingz work?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Thank you but no. Not my sort of thing. Sorry.

[Tigercake]

Some sort of shrug or bolero?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I just worry that they look a bit, 'Ancient lady at the opera' though.

[MyGhostIsFlummoxed]

Some sort of pashmina?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Nope to a pashmina - would look like a Greek widow.

that Winz website has a bloke modelling one set.

is this too shruggy?

Something like a short kimono perhaps?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Winz?

A bit too shruggy but deffo too blue! Has to be black and prob not sequinned tbh.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Kimono thing is pretty but too long and need plain black.

Wingz

Not exactly cropped but nice?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

See, I really like the feathery thing but would look an idiot in it - and way too expensive.

[Valsoldknickers]

Sorry just saw you are not going for the shiny look

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I can't do sequins as the dress is already a bit 'busy' on its own.

[noddyholder]

House of Fraser have a lovely beaded one about 45 can't link for some reason

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Don't apologise! Thank you, :)

[quirkycutekitch]

Can someone explain the wingz to me please!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

This one Noddy? Lovely but probably too busy.

[noddyholder]

Love the feathered one

[ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks]

Buy a dress with sleeves.

Seriously. I'm with you...hate pashminas...they look middle aged. Those "Wingz" things are interesting but the models are a bit amateur and it looks bad because of that.

Buy something else.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Dress is already bought, and I like it. My usual go-to would be a fabric biker jacket, but it's too thick and hot for indoors.

[ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks]

One of my main rules about any new dress is sleeves. It's just not practical otherwise for exactly the reasons here...what about a sort of filmy, thin bolero? My sister had quite a nice one in a beige floaty fabric but it was fitted...

[ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks]

What colour is dress?
