what do you think of this dress?

[charmkin]

for a casual wedding in early sept
chunky bangles and gold flip flops

have bought it cos like it anyway but is it weddingy?

I think its more beach or BBQ than wedding

xx

Can I be really old fashioned and say that if the wedding is in a church then you should have something to cover your shoulders.

You probably want an alternative to flip flops too just in case it turns cold and wet again!

charmkin I've been to 3 weddings this summer and there have been quite a few maxi dresses on show. Imo it's absolutley fine for a wedding esp if dress it up with jewellery. If doesn't feel dressy enough what about wedges instead of flip flops?

The whole suit/hat thing for a wedding now is a bit dated imo

I saw a few people in similar styles on holiday.

Think you need to be quite tall to carry it off.

no
is casual weddding in registry office and then a village green type thing with a hall
bride wearing knee length dress not white
she is 33 and he is french

in that case i think it will look fab!

oooooo wedges
am 5'5 and a size 14 with littel waist but bignorkage and bum
wedges would help

btw you can still see taht i hve a big bum but you can in anything

Probably ok then. Just make sure you exfoliate your back and arms and whack on a bit of fake tan!

if you don't mind spending a bit more kurt geiger have some lovely shoes/wedges atm

Total Hijack sorry
Lissie how did your apt with specialist go? will try find you in tea shop

Charmkin, you must remember to describe yourself as having an hourglass figure!

charmkin - that's a lovely dress - I would wear it with black sandels, gold flip flops are't really suitable for a wedding IMO.

I do really like the dress though. I have one similar, but short.

i really have tho
my dh say that
i go in and out
anything that fits on waist doesn';t fit on hips
anything that fits on hips is MASSive on waist
cue lots of a line skirts

I am a similar shape and find that things fit better if I buy them to fit my hips then wear them quite low.

Don't A-line skirts make your hips look bigger?

I find things cut on the bias often work well.

ok am going with the wedges
but if it is cold ( like today)mdo I wear it anyway
have got a crochety shrugy thing but will that spoil it or do i start again?

I think crochet might be pushing the 70s vibe too far
plain shrug or wrap would be fine
