Fab outfit - you will be a yummy mummy (assuming you're a mummy). Lots of purple tho so maybe an olive green bag instead of purple?

that is not a dress its a tunic
have you tried it on?

its v nice btw and i like the shoes

nailpolish · 30/09/2008 14:11

in my opinion a bag and shoes should match for a wedding

the bag that matches the shoes

MadreInglese · 30/09/2008 14:11

nice

but no more purple, your bag needs to be one or two of the other colours in the top

I think its all really nice but I would not do purple tights. I think navy/black (not sure what colour the dark bits are) would be much much better.

The purple dress/shoes/bag/tights will look too much.

black opaque tights

MadreInglese · 30/09/2008 14:14

ah yes, scrap the purple tights for black opaque and then do matching bag and shoes

smurfgirl · 30/09/2008 14:15

Have now zoomed - yes black tights.

Thank you!I think needed to hear it is a nice dress as am still a bit undecided as so not me.

Nailpolish- yes tried it on and it is on the knee so will be ok for length. Are you sure about black tights? Does that not look a bit boring purple and black?

So basically the dress, black tights, shoes and the purple handbag plus I have this necklace in very deep blue which will look purple on with the dress.

Many thanks again for your help!

Black tights and bag to match the shoes def. Check out New Look they have some amazing purple bags atm.

bundle · 30/09/2008 17:52

choose one of the other colours for the bag - eg green or that kind of pinky peachy colour. is the background colour navy?

smurfgirl · 30/09/2008 19:24

Black tights will break up the purple a bit, all purple will look too much.

pickie · 30/09/2008 20:03

Bundle, the background is black, off to check new look now for the purple bag but like the one nail polish suggested.

Also you all think natural colour tights is a No No?

I wore "natural" colour fishnets to a civil partnership @ the weekend (jersey brown/pink phase eight dress, fuchsia shoes) and they look Ok, I think.

pickie · 30/09/2008 21:15

Ahh bundle just googled fishnet tights and there are some really nice ones there. For some reason I thought fishnet tights were basically tights with really big diamond shaped holes but how wrong was I. Think maybe not for this dress but have another one that will, thanks for the tip!
