Class

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:24

Really? Going to order on the strength of that Grin

MarshaBrady · 10/01/2012 20:24

Excellent first date dress.

crypes · 10/01/2012 20:26

Yes very flattering, that would definitely suit me too, but i dont go out.

niknakpaddywhack · 10/01/2012 20:27

It is very stylish, so it depends where your first date is going to be?
And I agree -I think it would look lovely with a scarf.

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:28

Will be in a nice bar. Still ok?

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:31

Changed back to real name.

MarshaBrady · 10/01/2012 20:31

Yes fab.

thenightsky · 10/01/2012 20:33

Gorgeous. I have similar one bought in Zara about 3 years ago. It gets worn and worn.

niknakpaddywhack · 10/01/2012 20:33

Oooohhhh lovely - how exciting!!!!Grin

Hope you have a fab time - let us know how it goes. (sad old woman living through other people emoticon!)

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:33

Thanks have ordered, very excited about this date Grin

levantine · 10/01/2012 20:37

Lovely! Hope it goes well

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:39

Thank god for MN, I would have been fretting right up till the day of the date worrying if it was ok.

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:41

Ideas for scarves? bright contrasting colour? Sparkly? Pattern?

mamaLou13 · 10/01/2012 20:44

not pattern either bright or sparkly... or both! (o:

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:47

Ok have a sort of dusky pink pashmina. Can't really describe it but it's a strong nice pink iyswim. Any good?

MarshaBrady · 10/01/2012 20:47

Yes that sounds good.

Very chic. You'll look great.

MarshaBrady · 10/01/2012 20:51

How do you wear it btw? Can you wear it as a scarf or does it have to be round the shoulders?

Dotty342kids · 10/01/2012 20:51

I think scarf would be lovely for lunch with girls / day out but for a date I'd go for a bright / silver statement necklace of some sort. Great dress and hope date goes really well!

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:52

Thanks now I just have to lose 5 pounds by next Wednesday!

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:52

It could be a scarf, quite a thick one though. Maybe a thinner one would be better.

MarshaBrady · 10/01/2012 20:53

Now I'm thinking, maybe no pashmina. The dress is lovely enough.

akaemmafrost · 10/01/2012 20:56

It's really plain though, black dress, tights, boots. Maybe necklace then.

MarshaBrady · 10/01/2012 21:10

Yes necklace is good.

Or check out Wolford black sun dot tights.

TracyK · 10/01/2012 21:11

Chunky cuff and something sparkly to throw light on your face. Otherwise you'll look like you're going to a funeral.
