here

for a wedding in June in Lake Garda.

And if you like it, what colour accessories would you go for?

oooh tough.

Cream/ivory or gold?

Or, for striking contrast - purple?

The dress is lovely, but, I have to say that the colour is quite strong for a summer wedding, IMO.

nice, as long as you have a modest chest - that rose might look a bit much with larger front !

newgirl · 03/03/2008 19:02

it is quite wow - is it quite a glam wedding crowd? can you match the dress to red shoes? i think i would go red shoes rather than black as it is june

pedilia · 03/03/2008 19:03

stunning dress but mary made a good point, wouldn't be a problem for me

mosschops30 · 03/03/2008 19:51

yes I could get away with the chest issue
I was a bit worried about the colour for a summer wedding but its quite a nice pinky red in RL and doesnt look wintery.
Theyre not a glam crowd but I will be and its Lake Garda so hey-ho!

Ooh thats lovely. And I love the colour, especially for a summer wedding.

Red/black/white shoes?

deaconblue · 03/03/2008 20:14

fab fab dress. but a word of warning, Coast stuff very very popular for weddings. Went to one this weekend where my friend and another woman had same Coast outfit on.

Louandben · 03/03/2008 20:18

Lovely - silver or gold accessories I think. Lots about at the moment. Definitely not black though.

I have to go to a wedding at the end of July in West Virginia (FFS)

What the hell do you wear to a wedding there? I was thinking dungarees...

It will be a billion degrees and humid as all hell

ARGH

If anyone can save me the trouble and find me something I would be very grateful

I am 41
size 14
no waist
not a fat bum
36C
5 foot 5
legs ok
nothing strapless or maxi
Dark hair
blue eyes
paleish skin

Tutter · 03/03/2008 20:20

i'll be the one to say it...

if there'll be other brits there you run a high chance of someone else wearing it

and a very high chance of all the women guets having at least looked at it

coast = wedding guest wear for the masses

sorry

[snoot]

CountessDracula · 03/03/2008 20:21

on the plus side the bride (who is a stick insect) has told me that most of her female rellies are about 20 stone
