Christmas Night Out Outfit Wobble

60 replies

AmItoofatforthis · 26/11/2021 15:03

After much fruitless searching for a night out outfit I tried on a black sequin dress I found in H+M. My legs are pretty decent so even though it's reasonably short I decided to go for it. The doubts are starting to set in though. I probably ideally would have gone for a size up and it doesn't quite skim my tummy although it's not horribly tight either.....So, style jury of mumsnet. Am I going to look ridiculous if I wear this?

I will probably wear black tights to tone it down a bit and the shoes are just ones I took for trying on purposes.

I love it, particularly with the black tights.

WhyAmIDoingIt · 26/11/2021 15:07

Not ridiculous at all.
It really suits you and I actually think no tights will look better.

Woohooforwine · 26/11/2021 15:18

I think legs out, LBSD is a classic Xmas party look, love it.

Coldenoughforyou · 26/11/2021 15:20

Lovely. Prefer no tights.

SugarlumpsesBumpses · 26/11/2021 15:21

Looks lovely, no tights IMO.

actiongirl1978 · 26/11/2021 15:21

It's amazing on you and no tights much better

JaneExotic · 26/11/2021 15:22

Looks ace. No tights!

Wagsandclaws · 26/11/2021 16:02

You look amazing in that dress!

If you are worried about the slight suggestion of a tummy pop on some shapewear to smooth it out.

Gosh I wish I looked that good in a lbd!

SomethingBeginningWithX · 26/11/2021 16:04

Looks amazing! No tights, show off those incredible legs! 😍

AmItoofatforthis · 26/11/2021 16:10

Thank you for being so kind. My inner magpie is thrilled I get to wear alllllllll the sequins!

Consensus seems to be no tights. Guess I'm going to break out the razor as with bare legs I currently look like I am wearing a pair of hairy tights Blush

Looks great. No tights, does that actually mean nude tights or completely bare legs? Asking for myself really as have no clue about such things.

But I agree looks better without the black tights.

Fireflygal · 26/11/2021 17:07

Nude tights would be fine and better than black tights. It's lovely

kleew1 · 26/11/2021 17:09

Gorgeous! No tights.

5128gap · 26/11/2021 17:13

Its lovely. I prefer bare legs. You don't need to tone down! I like the shoes too. I think a silver looks much nicer with bare legs than black.

@AmItoofatforthis

Holy crap OP! You look amazing!
If I looked that good in the dress I'd be wearing it on the school run, taking the bins out, and to walk the dog Grin...

Definitely bare legs or nude tights in my opinion.
The black tights look "too heavy" (weird description but I can't think of another way of putting it).

LindaLooky · 26/11/2021 17:20

Yes you look fantastic and I also prefer bare legs (except I'd wear nude tights but my legs are like mottled corned beef!)

DariaMorgendorffer · 26/11/2021 17:22

It's gorgeous & no tights is the right choice! You have amazing legs.

AmItoofatforthis · 26/11/2021 17:24

I might invest in some knickers with good coverage if I'm going for either bare legs or nude tights as i am hoping the night will involve both drinks and dancing and don't want to reveal more than intended Grin

I tend to go for shape wear shorts that start under the bust and go to the thigh. Lovely line and feel very secure that nothings on show.
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/11/2021 17:30

It looks lovely. I personally prefer it with the tights though, because I think bare legs in December seems a bit bonkers, unless you're taxi-ing door to door.

stalkersaga · 26/11/2021 17:33

Looks great. Paint the town!

merryhouse · 26/11/2021 17:42

silvery tights?

or is that just showing my age

SprayedWithDettol · 26/11/2021 17:44

You look great but I will go against the majority and say I prefer it with tights.

Mojoj · 26/11/2021 17:56

You look fab!!

Samsara12 · 26/11/2021 18:00
