got this for an xmas do.

Do I do the fake tan on legs thing, should I go for tights or throw caution to the wind and go for the full on tarty fishnets (bearing in mind I'm nearly 34 so really am only considering first two options!!)

fake tan, then deep v neck matches legs iyswim.

I really like the nude fishnets. They look a bit less obvious, but still very flattering to the leg.

I like the dress - classy yet sexy!

walkinginaWILKIEwonderland · 01/12/2007 20:06

Lovely - I say NO to fake tan and yes to black small fishnets

Maidamess · 01/12/2007 20:08

I think fake tan, or dark opaques and silver shoes. But I am a silver shoe addict! Lovely dress, by the way. You'll get loads of wear out of that.

was also going to suggest nude fishnets or a very fine weave fishnets - gets round the whole hooker moulinn rouge look.

beautiful dress btw

Gemy · 01/12/2007 20:13

I'm with WILKIE - black small-net fishnets (though make sure you're legs are totally hair free and nicely moisterised)

But - also like the black opaques and silver shoes too.

Depends whether you want grown up sexy, or a younger fashionable look.

Sorry for being stupid but what are nude fishnets?

BBBee · 01/12/2007 20:16

fishnets but made out of stuff that is nude colour not black - you get a subtle but sexy effect.

fishie · 01/12/2007 20:19

coloured tights deffo. nude fishnets sound (sorry) revolting, won't they just look like cellulite? these are great, not brash but v sleek.

yama · 01/12/2007 20:44

Not sure I like the sound of nude fishnets. Normal fishnets wouldn't be fine as your dress is knee length.

hoxtonchick · 01/12/2007 20:47

i think black micronets, like this: www.sockshop.co.uk/products/ladies_1_pair_levante_micronet_tights/index

janeite · 01/12/2007 21:11

Nude fishnets are actually quite inoffensive - they look nice but not at all tarty (I sometimes worry that blackones can look "a bit Soho" iykwim! Coloured tights would be great if you're brave enough - purple very in at the moment but otherwise the opaques and silver shoes sound very good.

Hekate · 01/12/2007 21:13

If you've got the legs and bust to carry off that dress I hate you and will take no further part in this thread.

Tights. And a bloody good bra.

I still hate you.

MuthaHoHoHubbard · 02/12/2007 14:45

He he hekate!! My boobs aint too bad and my calfs are in good nick - but be aware that this are my only best bits and the dress seems to cover my jelly belly and bingo wings quite well.

Thanks for the ideas, am going to have a look for some nude fishnets this week - never heard of them before myself so thanks ladies.

Am wearing this dress twice (yes I know but need to get monies worth out of it). Bronze shoes and tan I think first time and then might got for the fishnets and silver accessories the week after (how popular am I!)

Cheers again!
