Is this dress any good?

I actually like it, it's pretty but you could dress it up.
Maybe a cream (is the body of the dress cream?) pashmina, add a cream fascinator or even better match the pashmina and fascinator to one of the colours in the dress, the pink would be lovely and then shoes of the same colour and a clutch bag.

It's lovely 😊

Honeyroar · 22/05/2023 20:44

Perfect for a wedding guest.

CindersAgain · 22/05/2023 20:46

Lovely! I’d see pashminas as being a bit 2000s, but a fascinator might be good.

WeddingDespair · 22/05/2023 20:53

Phew! I must have tried about 50 dresses and haven't liked any of them.

I think I need to get it adjusted slightly, can you see the fold above the belt bit? It also slightly falls off my shoulders. Where my trunk is shorter than average I think it's just too long on that bit.

Would this bit be easy to change without ruining the dress? What should I ask for? Essentially just shorten by about a centimeter at the top of each shoulder.

Could I get away with navy accessories do you think? I think navy is my best colour, there is a bit of navy in the dress but is ita bit of a stretch?

And would you say the OP's dress is better than these two?

Oh the flowery one definitely
Actually they are all nice but that one is my favourite on you
Lovely 💐

NatashaDancing · 22/05/2023 21:33

The black and pink is the dressiest.

The flowery one

But then I'm biased I've just brought this dress for me. I also got the pale blue version too as I couldn't decide which to get .

Twoshoesnewshoes · 22/05/2023 22:46

Yes I think navy would work, a pretty cardi and navy fascinator.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 22/05/2023 22:47

Though I like the black and pink dress best

GinBlossom94 · 22/05/2023 23:10

Really don't like the original dress, the navy is lovely but the floral is perfect for a wedding

UsingChangeofName · 22/05/2023 23:14

I like the first one and I also like the black and pink one.

booktokbear · 22/05/2023 23:17

Black and pink one is perfect 🤩

WeddingDespair · 22/05/2023 23:24

The black and pink one is actually navy and pink. I think I like this as a dress the best but feel like the length doesn't work for me and makes me look frumpy? If it was shorter I would go for that one I think.

There is also a lot of material (also a good thing as it is very nice quality) but I feel like it maybe makes me look bigger?

Navy and pink one suits you very well, it looks very smart!

LetMeJustCheckMyCitrusPocket · 22/05/2023 23:42

The navy and pink one is lovely and I think really suits you. Can I ask where it's from, as I'm also looking for something similar!

WeddingDespair · 22/05/2023 23:48

@LetMeJustCheckMyCitrusPocket its from Yumi, there's 30%off at the moment too.

Thanks, will have a look!

SPSN · 24/05/2023 12:24

The navy and pink one is definitely the best 🤩 I prefer that length on you.

BritInAus · 24/05/2023 12:37

Definitely the navy with pink flowers, by far! It's gorgeous. And it absolutely doesn't make you look big - you're very slim, and that dress fits you perfectly.
It's dressier than the white flowery one and the shape is much better for you.

BritInAus · 24/05/2023 12:38

Also - are fascinators still a thing?!

Nodinnernogift · 24/05/2023 14:54

They all look very nice on you OP which is no help I know but please no pashminas, fascinators or shoes matchy matched to one of the colours in the dress.

No and neither are pashminas.

Theblacksheepandme · 24/05/2023 15:27

Navy with pink flowers is lovely on you.
