My husbands' work Christmas ball is coming up next month, I went shopping yesterday and tried this on

www.coast-stores.com/p/metallic-stripe-makena-dress/1704798?locale=en

I absolutely loved it but my husband was concerned that I'd never be able to wear it again, my work don't have a big party each year so really the only occasions I have to dress up are his annual party and weddings.

Do you think it's appropriate for weddings/any other occasions? My husband has me worried that it's purely a Christmas party dress due to the colour and the flare on the skirt being a bit OTT.

That is a lovely dress. I don't think it's too much to wear for other special occasions either. I would wear it for a wedding or other special occasions.
It's not too ball gown either .

If you love it and feel good wearing it, that's what matters!

Do you have good legs, particularly shapely knees? I have nice calves & ankles, but fat knees and that dress is a style which accentuates my knees in an unflattering way.
If yes, I'd go for it, the dress is very stylish, striking & I love the metallic.

It's beautiful 👍

It's gorge. Metallics are not just for Christmas! I might buy it now I've seen your link.

Now that's special! I really love that. I think you could wear that to weddings, Christmas stuff etc. And as another mnetter said you would get a fair amount back if you sold it afterwards.

Have you got a code? Sometimes Coast codes are floating around. May be worth asking here/ doing a google search.

Gorgeous dress! You shall be the belle of the ball in that.

There seems to be a 15% off for students code around...if you know anyone with an NUS card who would buy on your behalf?

Thank you all for being so lovely, I'm excited to buy it now. I have two weddings next year and potentially a hen party at the races so I'm sure it will be a worthwhile purchase.

OP - I have this dress! It's beautiful. I'm a size 6/8 and it looks very flattering on. I am an hourglass so it suits my shape as it doesn't hug my hips. xx

Love it!!

It's a wow dress. Please buy it if it made you feel amazing when you tried it on. Clothes that do that are pretty rare really and you should have a dress you feel incredible in.

I love it. The shape is gorgeous.

Oh you are going to get it. Good.

Lovely. So glad you are going for it. Perfect for the races too.

Its gorgeous and if you feel fabulous in it then it will look that way. Always buy that thing you absolutely love and feel great in...and yes, I would wear it to a wedding and I don't think it will particularly date, so you may not be able to wear it frequently (because so memorable), but you may well be pulling it out for a party in 5-10 years, I have a few things like this!

I love it. If you can afford it and feel good in it then buy it.
