Dress for Uni reunion

33 replies

I know you're busy with the election. But can anyone spare some time to recommend a dress or outfit for a Uni reunion I'm going to in June? I think I have the day dress (a DvF I'm still trying to slim into) but not the evening one. I'm 5'8" and size 14ish. A Winter at HoC. Nothing too outrageous, it's a 25th years reunion and, although I haven't been at any others, I know I'm not the 23 y.o from graduation. Max £200. Thank you.

I love the green silk dress. That would go for a wedding I'm going to in August as well. I love green and used to have loads in green but it's not a colour that suits me as well as others. The dilemma of choosing between something you'd like to wear and feel confident in vs something that flatters you.

I like the red one too but I imagine it would get v creased.

Margo, what's your hair colour? Do you change it? I'd change my hair colour to wear that green silk dress!

Dark brown hair (dyed now), skin tans easily.

Could you have some red in your hair? The green would look lovely then.

It's reddish now, although I know it doesn't suit my skin as well as plain old brown does. If my credit card can take it, I might get another dress or two in the time available and make a decision :)

But there's red and red! The right red will look amazing. But yes, get a few more dresses and decide then!

Margo did you keep the dress in the end? I've just spotted it back on the websites so was wondering if it was the one you'd sent back. Hope your reunion's good:)
