Need something to go with pencil skirt for wedding

20 replies

I tried to find my previous wedding outfit thread but failed.

Anyway I was loriginally ooking for a prom style dress but then found gorgeous black satin pencil skirt in Coast.

It's a great length (below the knee) and flattering but have no idea what to wear with it.

Don't normally look good in shirts/blouses (am 36 D), but don't think anything flowery, fussy or ethnic would look right...

Any ideas style gurus?

Yes like the jacket a lot... a bit similar to one I've got already...

Do you think a white one with black edges would look okay? Saw one like that in Monsoon window

Still don't know what to wear underneath jacket though. I find tops so much harder to buy than bottoms...

i dont like shell tops

my mum wears them under smart jackets and then takes her jacket off in the evening, looks daft

sorry

MrsBadgerAvecUneVoiture · 30/05/2006 15:48

I wear wrap blouse thing with my (one and only) pencil skirt) and don't bother with jacket.
Is a bit like \link{http://images2.nordstrom.com/images/store/product/medium/168830.jpg\this} - not sure I'd advise satin top with satin skirt though.

What was hanging next to it in Coast? Would one of their bustier things work? Sometimes v good on larger norks, would also work under jacket.

LadyCodofCOdford · 30/05/2006 15:59

look att he acost webs ite
lobe the sleevless shirt thing they have

indignatio · 30/05/2006 16:01

How about a twinset (and pearls) - can look v stylish

LadyCodofCOdford · 30/05/2006 16:15

adn on the coast site the top next to theat too

LadyCodofCOdford · 30/05/2006 16:16

"fiona frill" arf

Hi Ladeez thanks for style advice ...
Kimono top looks nice and will have a look in Coast again too. Lots of bustier tops there but I when I was there I didn't have the right bra on so they gaped somewhat Blush and looked a bit strange.
Will go back armed with the right underwear and the skirt!

Thank god shoes not a problem, found great pair in M and S
