I want something like that.
Have seen amazing lk Bennett skirt , black with huge white spots. Have got fabulous black hat.
If I can get a fab top like that I would have my perfect wedding outfit for this summer wedding.

Can anyone help?

What about a boatneck blouse w three quarter length sleeve, or one of the pussy bow blouses Melania has cemented as current?

Struggling to find big lapels as they aren't in fashion. This one could look nice though. I like the neckline (nothing like the four weddings one though).

Don't worry theroot I was just trying to be a good citizen and It's just a bit of fun Grin, I've googled scallop edged jackets and there are some nice ones about.

therootoftheroot · 22/04/2017 19:36

Yeah I do, but I can't tonight as we're 3 hours ahead and I'm in bed. We're up at 5am! Leave it with me and I'll look tomorrow! Grin

In love the skirt, but is the pattern at the back actually going to be like that? I couldn't handle the circles not matching up like that. Especially not for that price!

ragz134 · 22/04/2017 19:51

Oops, should have RTFT, I see this has been mentioned! Would be a deal breaker for me...

therootoftheroot · 22/04/2017 19:52

yes i think it is for me which is annoying because i had fallen in love with it

This any good OP? Not quite as striking at the LK Bennett one, but the seams seem to match.

therootoftheroot · 22/04/2017 22:09

thank you for looking but no-it's just not doing it for me

I can't find anything suitable, I do like the dress Lapin has posted though, but tbh if you live the skirt and have the money than get it.

CarrieBradshawsScrunchie · 23/04/2017 07:48

What would you wear underneath such a jacket? I wore a natty little skirt suit to a wedding in the 90s then realised the jacket was too hot and constrictive for dancing in, but I couldn't take it off as I had an extremely norky and crap black vest on underneath!

BikeRunSki · 23/04/2017 08:37

black spotty skirt

BikeRunSki · 23/04/2017 08:38

love this skirt

MargotsDevil · 23/04/2017 09:31

Principles in Debenhams have a very similar range just now.

fuzzywuzzy · 23/04/2017 10:40

Think the dots to line up properly one of the pictures just shows the skirt hanging in pleats, not at the seam.

therootoftheroot · 23/04/2017 11:17

I love the dress Lapin but the neck is too high. I've had a good look in the shop and it would be so unflattering.

I might just rethink altogether. It's not until August anyway.

Love the Asos skirt too

OP posts:
therootoftheroot · 23/04/2017 16:28

ok i have just been to jin lewis to look at the seams

ShockShock

absolutely AWFUL! no attempt to match at all and the dress is even worse

ruling it out altogether

there were some lovely dresses in damsel in a dress though so fingers crossed nearer the time
