Only one left - should I buy this dress?

[TrillianAstra]

This one

Well?

It is beautiful, but would I wear it?

Event I am thinking of is a spring wedding, in a hotel. Is it a bit too much? Should I buyu it anyway and think that I will find a use for it eventually?

You realise that someone's going to see this thread and snap it up. Then you'd be flummoxed!

Go on, buy it! You know you want to...

It's gorgeous, and you'd look great in it. However, it will only ever cost you (more) money, being dry-clean only. I reckon I'd leave it.

I have washed silk dresses in the bath before, with special silk-washing delicate liquid.

Yes I wondered about that janice :o

it's gorgeous - get it

God no. I got an almost identical one from New Look I think last summer for £100 less.

go for it, you will look stunning in it

The New Look one was see though BooBoo - I know, I tried it on.

Not sure I would wear it to a UK spring wedding in a hotel, maybe a tropical beach wedding.....buy it, it may be no good and you can send it back and then at least you won't be wondering.

Yep, I got a massive slip to wear under mine
But I will say that I think it will date terribly. I don't know if I'll be wearing mine again this summer, but for 30 quid I don't really care. But £130? Nope.

(if you are thinking of the one I think you are thinking of - it came in white with pattern or black with pattern and was 1 layer of v thin mterial)

That's clever - maybe a cheap dress with cleaver underwear would be the better option.

clever underwear, not cleaver.

OK, I won't. Even though it is beautiful. It is OTT for the only thing I need a dress for.

Yes, that one. Massively see through. can you really buy a maxi bandeau slip to go under that such that you can't see the slip?

I just bought a long granny petticoat in flesh colour and hoiked it up over my boobs. Not glamorous, but totally invisible and got rid of the see-through factor

Cunning!
