What colour tights and top with this dress?

I've bought this dress.

Is lovely - very flattering but low cut - needs a cami underneath or vest. What colour though?

And what about tights?

Help Grin

And thank you

Dark purple? Berry colours? or even brown

That is a lovely dress - although it is funny that I hadn't noticed that the OP was you until after I had looked at the dress and thought how lovely it was Grin

A cream cami would look nice with maybe dark brown tights and boots - or go all black - it is the kind of colour that could go with pretty much anything Smile

peppapighastakenovermylife · 29/10/2011 14:05

I thought you were going to say you had it ceebee! Grin

Oooh I like the idea of a dark berry red...although brown and black would match. Might go wild with the red though Wink

Dark green I really like it

peppapighastakenovermylife · 29/10/2011 14:17

oooh now I hadn't thought of green. Lovely. It is very flattering.

I'd go for a neutral cami ? white, off-white, black ? and bright tights. I think that colour dress could take pretty much any colour but my first thought was deep pink.

The page recommends their Polka Dot tights at £15. I would think a black cami otherwise it might scream "Look I'm wearing a cami!" And shoe boots the same colour as the tights?

Lovely dress.

I like these new look tights - www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tights-and-socks/coloured-crochet-tights_225797462

Enjoy.

ripitupandstartagain · 31/10/2011 23:24

I'd go for grey/barely black tights. The brown of the dress is a kind of donkey grey/brown to me. Also, the berry colour cami idea is a good one.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 01/11/2011 08:55

Bright tights! Bright tights! Otherwise you'll end up looking sludgy.

peppapighastakenovermylife · 01/11/2011 10:25

Grin at sludgy

I am toying with purple tights with purpley vest. The dress is almost a purpley brown close up.

Am getting those tights though watersign!

You mark my words. Sludge city.

Purple would be great although I still think even brighter would be even better

Agree with LadyC. I would wear a bright pink cami and purple tights. But then I wouldn't ever buy a dress that colour, those kind of neutral colours make me look slightly dead.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 01/11/2011 11:46

I believe that everyone has a neutral/nude shade that suits them, niminy ? you just have to be obsessed patient or lucky enough to find it.

I am more of a teal or magenta colour...can I wear those please?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 01/11/2011 12:16

What, as in tights for this dress, or generally?

Both would be great with the dress. I love teal tights.

peppapighastakenovermylife · 01/11/2011 13:05

No in general - they look lovely!

Am now googling teal tights.

I should really do some work Hmm
