or is it too eveningy? Got it for £25 down from £135 and it looks quite nice on - classic and a bit of a vintage feel to it.

Ooh yes, I like it :)

Just noticed you got it for £25 - Bargainous as well! Wow.

I wouldn't wear for wedding purely as to much black in it, but whether you could lighten by picking out the silver..?

migola · 02/03/2011 17:13

really berri? It's not something I'd normally go for - was accompanying my friend shopping & was browsing the sale rack whilst she was trying something on. Couldn't leave it in the shop for that price Grin

Personally I wouldn't wear it to a wedding as it's too much of an evening dress. Unless it's the evening do you're going to?

As ivykaty says too much black.

But it would be fab for a big night out!

migola · 02/03/2011 17:17

that's what I think too if I'm honest.
Now I just want a big night out otherwise it'll be collecting dust in the wardrobe Sad

I like it. I would wear it with maybe a fuscia/lilac shrug or cardie for the Church/ceremony bit to tone it down and then take the cardie off for the evening

something like this maybe?

berri · 02/03/2011 17:20

No I honestly think it'll be fine, obv as long as you don't go for loads of black accessories or anything!

Which month is the wedding in?

WincyEtNightie · 02/03/2011 17:22

You do seem to see more black at weddings these days I think. However, to be honest I think it's also bit shiny for the daytime bit of a wedding. You could possibly daytime it up a bit (IYSWIM Grin) with chunky heels (not sandally shoes) and a jacket/pashmina but you might struggle to do that successfully in anything apart from black.

It's bargainous though Smile. Get organising that big night out!

migola · 02/03/2011 17:33

it's in June. I don't think I can get away with it although agree you do see more black these days
I just want to wear it and don't go out anywhere remotely smart enough to wear it otherwise! I do have a 40th to go to in 2012 Grin [saddo]

I saw someone wearing it at a wedding recently. It didnt look too evening, she had her hair and it looked lovely.

migola · 03/03/2011 07:38
