What would you wear with this dress?

[LauraMercier]

I bought this as I'm carrying 'a little' bit of extra weight and I hate my upper arms - so this covers them nicely.

I'm going our for dinner with my DH in a couple of weeks and plan to wear then (we haven't been out in years so want to feel nice!).

Is it ok for that kind of thing?

What tights/shoes would go best with it? I don't love it, but it was a bargain and is the right shape to flatter my figure and hide my hideous arms without drawing more attention.

Monsoon dress

Is it hideous?!

I really don't think you can wear tights with this! You will end up looking frumpy. This dress could be pretty if accessorised properly. I would go bare legs, fake tan and pretty sandals.

I would go with silvery acessories and strappy heels.

Can't do bare legs, ever. And not sure it's sandal weather yet? Crap, sorry not dismissing suggestions but bare legs are a big no no.

It looks much nice than the pic when it's on but am stumped on legs/feet. Bare look tights??? Or is that totally naff too? Strappy shoes would then be out too.

Stupid fucking odd shaped body! Next option a sodding sack.

what about some killer heel boots ? this will "lift" the dress would also go with silver jewellery as well.

love that dress!

Oooo, I like that.

I'd say black knee high boots. No tights.

Who are all these people who go about with no tights on? Do you not live in the same country as me? It's blimmin' freezing out there!

The dress is nice. I really don't see the problem with wearing opaques with it. I would - it is still March! (Disclaimer: I have varicose veins and live in Scotland so even in summer I keep my opaques on most days )

I would wear with black opaques, black heels and silver jewellery.

How about nude fishnets (don't recoil in horror - they are really flattering on and make legs look good) with nude heel to elongate legs? Wearing an 'all black' look of dress, black opaques and black shoes/boots could look a bit funeral and not really 'evening out' - more 'day at the office' IMHO.

Glad people like it! Been years since I've worn a dress. I love the idea of nude shoes bit not sure I could carry them off. Am 14/16, short arse, 33. Can I do nude shoes?? Will give nude fishnets a go but are just nude tights ok? I have black satin killer heels too but only biker boots....

What about nude tights and black killer heels?

lovely dress, why don't you wear black leggings and heels. If you pull leggings up away to show off the ankle it makes it a bit more edgy.

black opaques will look fine. how about black peeptoe
