I am wearing this for a black tie event as I have been nominated for an industry award and I am starting to waiver.

I have bought a strapless stick on bra, so my fried eggs look a lot better so please disregard my lovely pair in the picture.

Hair will be in a french pleat and I am wearing nude heels. Do you think I can carry it off?

Thank you.

Yes

AhNowTed · 16/09/2021 20:47

Really suits you. Looks fab.

onlymyselftoanswerto1 · 16/09/2021 20:48

It's lovely 😊

DamnShesaSexyChick · 16/09/2021 20:49

You look great

mildlymiffed · 16/09/2021 20:49

Such a lovely colour dress, and you look fab!

WineIsMyCarb · 16/09/2021 20:49

You can definitely pull it off. Your figure is fab, the colour is lovely and the back is amazing. I'm not wild about the metal bit of the belt at the front but maybe gold shoes with it would bring it 'in' to the outfit, I'd you see what I mean.
Do wear the stick on bra thing. I'm other end of the boob spectrum to you but whatever size you are, your bust line/shape makes a big difference to how a dress hangs.
If it's a work related awards thing would you out something over your shoulders (even a black pashmina) to arrive and for first hour or two?

WingBingo · 16/09/2021 20:49

Thank you!

Phew. The bare back is a new thing and seemed like a good idea at the time.

It’s lovely! Your boobs also look great (feels really weird saying that to a stranger online) so only go for the stick on bra if it helps you feel better.

Palavah · 16/09/2021 20:51

Yes it's great. How long is your hair. What about tousled waves rather than french plait?

DramaAlpaca · 16/09/2021 20:51

Such a great choice, it's fabulous.

Hopeishere52 · 16/09/2021 20:51

Really lovely

WingBingo · 16/09/2021 20:52

@WineIsMyCarb I was going to arrive wearing my All Saints biker jacket over my shoulders but maybe a pashmina would look more classy.

Gold shoes are a good shout.

Lovely dress, suits you

SummerWhy · 16/09/2021 20:52

You look fab! Seriously, you have great arms and shoulders so that style of dress is perfect for you. Congratulations on the nomination Smile

Fireflygal · 16/09/2021 20:52

Looks great, where is it from?

onlymyselftoanswerto1 · 16/09/2021 20:54

Please wear the biker jacket - will look edgy and amazing 🥰

WingBingo · 16/09/2021 20:55

Thanks @TwooThirty Grin

Quite long @Palavah. 3 inches past my shoulders. I have 3 hours to get ready at the hotel so I have time to curl it.

i could cue

Also not a massive fan of the metal belt but it looks great on you and the colour is beautiful.
I'd go for the leather jacket personally!

MrsEricBana · 16/09/2021 20:56

Really, really nice. Suits you, stylish, refined, not too over the top. Have a great time and hope you win!

WingBingo · 16/09/2021 20:58

Thank you @SummerWhy

@Fireflygal its from Karen Millen and a bargain!

@onlymyselftoanswerto1
I’m tempted, I treated myself to the Dalby from All Saints after a promotion during Lockdown 1.0 and I haven’t got to wear it much.

DukeOfEarlGrey · 16/09/2021 20:59

You look great OP. It’s a confident dress and well suited to a woman nominated for an industry award, no less! Well done!

I also vote biker jacket and think gold shoes would look fab, but I’d stick with your hair up to draw attention to the back of the dress.

Glaghirl · 16/09/2021 21:01

Gorgeous and def wear the biker jacket! You will look fab

WingBingo · 16/09/2021 21:03

Thank you so much for your comments!

Biker jacket confirmed and I’m going to check out some gold shoes now.
