Need to buy a party dress

[Bonsoir]

for DSS2's Bar Mitzvah.
What do you think of
this?

It's not to my taste, neckline too fussy. Are you very tall and slim?

Also I wouldn't wear with black shoes. Think I would wear with nude.

Sorry- the cut doesn't look too good to me; it sits badly on the mannequin, which is never a good sign.

How about this or this?

Yes, I'm tall (1m74) and slim (size 10/12). I definitely wouldn't accessorise red with black - but I'm not a great wearer of black in any case.

I expect the cut is great, because the cuts in Marni are always great! The dresses you linked to are too elderly for me, tethersend. But I am up for suggestions - just not too aged!

If you like the Marni one, just get it- you don't need us to agree

Do you want red or are you open to other colours?

I love that dress, would not look good on me, am tall but sadly not willowy.

I do love a red dress, is there anywhere you can go to try it on?

This is lovely... as is this- may be too pensionable though

It's made of viscose, which would put me off, especially as I suspect it is a little pricy.

But if you like it, go for it.

Ah, have just seen the price. That is indeed a little pricy for viscose.

Love the dress. LOVE it. No idea what one wears to a Bar Mitzvah though, so can't really advise. Would look fabulous with snakeskin shoes.

I might try and pop down to Avenue Montaigne tomorrow afternoon while DD is at ballet and try the Marni dress on.

tethersend - you obviously like the Grecian look that is fashionable right now - it's not for me though! Thank you for trying though!

I'm sure it would look lovely on you Bonsoir but with your height and slenderness I would sooooo be showing it off much more

Bonsoir, you are the queen of the sly put down

I wouldn't wear any of the dresses I linked to- but since we're being cutting honest, the Marni one looks like a Christmas present wrapped by Stevie Wonder. I hope for your sake it looks better on.

How about using this company and hiring one? there are lots of reds!

I'm in Paris so I cannot rent a dress in England!

And also I want to buy a dress and have it in my wardrobe for parties this autumn

tracey - I'm very quite old, you know . Don't want to bare too much flesh...

Hmm.. not too be rude but it is very shapeless and I can't see it being flattering on anyone. But go try it on and prove us wrong

LMAO at tethersends last comment!

Is this for the synagogue? or the party? or both?

Do you need to wear a hat? assume not as not married?

Think that shade of red is a bit harsh tbh
