Advice needed - dress and tights

18 replies

Mozismyhero · 19/02/2011 19:12

Am thinking of buying this dress for a friend's birthday meal out.

Question is - could I wear this with black, opaque tights? Don't like showing my legs!

Opaque tights and shoes the same colour as the dress might be alright

I have a bit of an aversion to black with bright blue ... [sorry] It's extremely short on the model, isn't it? I am a bit of an old gimmer so would prob wear with leggings AND knee boots. Would be desperately trying to make it work with dark brown ...

It's a very pretty and striking dress, I can see why you like it.

I would wear with black opaques and black heels-something platformy

AintMissBeehiving · 19/02/2011 19:55

yy to black opaques and black heels.

Black opaques and black heels or shoe boots would look great with it.

It's a lovely dress. Not sure it's the right one for someone who doesn't like showing her legs.......

Tillyscoutsmum · 19/02/2011 21:21

I think it would work with black opaques but I think the other colour (the nude-ish one) would look better with black.

Lovely dress though

Daydreaming · 19/02/2011 22:01

Yes, definitely. Lovely dress.

I think black opaques go with pretty much anything (except very casual, summery things).

SoozleQ · 19/02/2011 22:55

Black opaque tights and lovely patent black high heeled platforms would look fab. Lovely dress.

rinabean · 19/02/2011 23:02

I think it would go better with opaque grey. Black is maybe a bit harsh for such a pretty, bright colour.

Mozismyhero · 20/02/2011 15:38

It is short - don't mind that just don't really want bare legs.

I thought black tights with shoes might look OK too but might just have to try it on.

Me and my sil each have a similar dress to this and they are both VERY short, it does seem to be the style. If you must wear tights I would go with navy ones.

boobjob · 20/02/2011 17:47

Absolutely love the dress!

I would wear it with black opaques and shoe boots!

iamabadger · 20/02/2011 18:52

I wear black opaques with everything, i quite like my legs but they are the colour of skimmed milk! Think this would be fine with black tights and I want it myself now it's beautiful!

CeliaFate · 20/02/2011 19:15

I'd wear it with black leggings/skinny jeans and heels.

AnnabellaFagina · 20/02/2011 19:18

Blue and blck together is very on trend. Grey could work too

applecrumbleandcream · 20/02/2011 21:46

I have bought dresses like this before from Oasis that look really short on the model but on a mere mortal who's only 5 foot 4 it is the perfect length (for me just on or slightly above the knee).

I would wear with black opaques and black patent high heels.

boobjob · 20/02/2011 21:50

Mozis - its your fault I am now skint have bought this dress!
