So it’s my friends wedding in two weeks. I’ve bought this dress, I do have back ups but I’m going with this I think.

Not sure what to do about my legs! Lots of spider veins, especially round both ankles. I’ve tried the Sally Hansen leg make up, it’s not a great colour as the rest of me is quite pale. Don’t really want to go down black tights and shoes route.

I can sparkle the dress up, or have bright accessories. Would appreciate any advice please.

That is a lovely dress and perfect for a wedding. I think i might like it for my DDs graduation. What is the sizing like?

lt's lovely. But yes, don't wear dark tights it will look awful and dated. Go with flesh colour and some nice glitzy jewellery.

It’s pretty true to size. I’m an 18 and ordered the XL, it’s a nice fit.

Thanks Jon65
What shoes? I’d really have liked to wear sandals but would mean bare legged.

Seems a bit dark to me, but the style is nice. Colourful accessories should do it. I have veiny legs too and I wore a long dress with floaty chiffon jacket in pretty pattern over it to a wedding last summer.

You can get different shades of leg makeup - I quite like it

The dress is lovely and a great price

Coffeshopgirl · 08/06/2019 12:38

What brand do you use please GreenTulips?

Lovely dress, go for a spray tan a couple of days before?

Coffeshopgirl · 08/06/2019 13:21

Will spray tan cover the veins?

This on from boots

As a spray avoid the backs of knees and ankle bendy bit so it looks natural

It looks lovely, have you ordered from the website before? Price is really good

Coffeshopgirl · 08/06/2019 13:35

No, I hadn’t ordered from there before. Ordered a couple of other bits too and they are nice also.

You can get sandal toe tights www.uktights.com/product/2085/pretty-polly-naturals-sandal-toe-tights

I just put my regular foundation on my legs! It didn't hide everything but makes the tone more even.
