Colour match camisole

8 replies

SpidersWithBellsOn · 15/07/2017 15:05

I'm due to attend a wedding next weekend and am planning to wear this dress in the bottle green colour. I happen to also have the same belt in olive green and plum (similar shade to olive and burgundy in the ad).

I'm not small of boob and as my DP is the cousin of the groom don't want to flash quite so much flesh as I would on a mates night out.

Can anyone suggest where to look for a suitable camisole/tank to wear underneath and provide a more suitable neckline? Ideally I'd like to colour match to either of the belts, rather than go black/white/same as the dress. I'm local to Nottingham.

That dress looks lovely! Try Kettlewell clothes. Not the cheapest, but have camisoles, vests and t-shirts in a huge array of colours. Nice quality material - keep their shape and wash well.

Should also mention that they are online only. If you're not small of boob I recommend sizing up.

You'd have to be very lucky indeed to get an exact match buying online, it's practically impossible because colours don't show on screen. You could trawl the shops IRL but TBH I'd not expect to find a perfect match that way either, there's not much green in the shops at all ATM.

I'd go with as close a match as you can to the plum colour in the belt, that'd be much easier and it'd look fine. I can't actually see the belt though, could you link?

Oh, i've totally misunderstood Blush. Sorry.

Thanks Fizzy! Kettlewell don't appear to have any plum camis but the turtle green looks promising!

It's okay Mrs Lettuce, I'm hoping for suggestions for high street stores I can rummage through mid-week - should have made it clear in my OP! Had a wander around today and you're right - very little green. Did spot some promising-looking Dylon dyes in Wilko though, so a last resort.

On a side note, any suggestions for hairstyles? Probably my major flaw, my go-to is either a plait or cinnamon bun held up with a hair stick...

Hope you find something! Dye sounds like a good alternative too.

I'm rubbish at hairstyles but for a wedding, and with that dress, I'd go for the up-do.

If all else fails you could put a stitch in the dress after you've put it on to stop it gaping for the day.
