CALLING ALL FASHION GURUS - COME AND LOOK AT SPAWNCHORUS' FASHION PARADE!!

[SpawnChorus]

I've got a wedding on Saturday. Can you tell me which of these dresses you like best. I've uploaded them to flickr - hope it works!

I'll be wearing those shoes (probably...unless you think they are hideous).

fashion parade

I have to go out for a bit, but will be back for an MN-slating later.

Lol at Olive exposing herself as nosey bint and looking at all the pics!!!!

1030 or 1032, the maxis are swamping you.

you know you all looked at them all

I am just honest

Oh I looked at all photos too
Your hall looked very similar to our old rental house so I had to .....
Agreee with Northener about your DH.
Fine looking couple

olive i'm so never asking for your advice on my personal appearance in dresses, you are like the jeremy paxman of fashion critique! I shielded myself from HIDEOUS in caps.

I like the first and second and third ones - you have nice legs.

yes but those shoes do not go with the maxi dresses

flat only, tis The Law

I think you look the best in the first dress but not sure if it is weddingy iyswim

1030 is the best

followed by 1031, which is a nice shape (possibly just nicer than 1030) but the brown hemline on 1030 means it ties in much better with the shoes.

1029 is alright but the gathered-ness means it's not as flattering as the first two.

Demote 1027 & 1028 to garden-slumming-wear only. Or take them back.

i dont like the shoes

they look ike work shoes - clumpy etc

a summer wedding should be pretty sandals

tbh I think the shoes are fine

Short dresses with short sleeves + pretty sandals can look not tarty as such, just a bit, well, naked. Closed toes make a simple cotton dress more formal and weddingy.

Conversely if you are wearing a long dress, a jacket, or a something with long sleeves, you often need sandals and/or killer heels to prevent the outfit looking frumpy.

well maybe, MrsB, but not that colour

unless bag to match

or maybe slingbacks - closed toe but not heel. a bit more summery

hijack
MrsB have you had your bby yet?

was assuming small bag to match shoes...

if there is a small clutch bag the same colour as the shoes then i think it would be fine

but if the bag is not the same colour as those shoes i say a big fat no

6 weeks? omg are you excited? good luck! ps i remember your name thread so cant wait to hear what you have chosen

I like 1029. It is a crime to cover up legs as good as that woman - put the maxi dresses back in the wardrobe and step away!

ahhh, these ar lovely names

i shall look out for birht announcement

Thanks for not ripping me to shreds Am beamimg at the nice comments. I had visions of this thread turning a bit 'Insurance Office Party'.

Olive (or should that be Paxolive) - I was a bit at the time when people remarked on how huge my bump was. I see now they were right.

Well, it looks like we have a clear winner. The tally is:

First place: 1030 (light blue and brown) - 11 votes

Joint second: 1029 and 1032 with 3 botes each

Taken into custody for crimes against fashion (and bosoms) - 1027 and 1028

DH will if I show him this thread.

but have you a small bag to match shoes?

eh?

my bump was huge, it entered the room about an hour before me (and my arse)

you look fab in all the pics

are you getting new shoes?

Won't have time to buy more shoes before Saturday I do have a brown bag, but it's not exactly small. I don't do small bags.

how small is 'not exactly'?
A5 you could get away with (don't put it on your shoulder) but anything bigger than 20x20cm risks overwhelming the dress

It's bigger than A4. And it's a shoulder bag.

OK....I confess...it's my ONLY handbag. I love it and no one is going to separate me from it....Don't take it awaaaaaayyyy!!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

you will look like you're going to work

get a small brown bag
needn't even be real leather so long as colour is close
Next, or Debenhams, or cheap shoe shops

tis late night opening tonight..

Uh uh. No frock comes between me and my bag. We are soulmates. I will have to get DH to carry it.

SCREAM!>

please get another bag

even a 24hr tesco will have something

or just take a purse in your hand and pretend it's a clutch
how much stuff can you need?
