I like this, but would it be too pink for you?

JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 20:45

i like it though looks nice a feminine which is what i'm after

I am going to get this possibly if it looks nice on...and if there is a sale on for my sisters wedding.

Ewe · 15/03/2009 20:47

I love this for a wedding, can be really glammed up I think.

JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 20:50

ive got dark brown hair

LaDiDaDi · 15/03/2009 20:51

but not sure about the back view

the sienna one

LaDiDaDi · 15/03/2009 20:53

just in budget but I love it

traceybath · 15/03/2009 20:53

this is in the window of coast and looks fab

But really struggling to find any nice dresses and think coast one may be too eveningy.

Ewe · 15/03/2009 20:54

Fabulous but quite brave!

Same with this, this and this - gorgeous but not easy to pull off.

feedthegoat · 15/03/2009 20:55

I've bought this for a wedding. Thouugh think thiss is a nicer pic of it! Looks great on and I managed to get it in sale too.

JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 20:56

ladidadi, i LOVE that karen miller one the coral one.

oh thats the best one ive seen so far....

i might go for that one, just need to see the other links now.
just needed to say that

LaDiDaDi · 15/03/2009 21:00

link

but not if your norks are too bbig as together with the ruffles you would be overwhelmed
fab if you like black and white

JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 21:01

oh i really like the

D&G SATIN CONTRAST WAISTBAND DRESS
and
JUST CAVALLI FEATHER PRINT DRESS

too

oh i like the monsoon dress too.
i like the colour too

OP posts:
JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 21:04

i really like the sunburst one too.

OP posts:
JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 21:06

here just spotted this when looking at the coast link, what do you ladies think?
does it look bit bridesmaidish?

OP posts:
Ewe · 15/03/2009 21:14

Too bridesmaidish I think.

I also think you need to be really careful buying from Coast, Karen Millen etc for a wedding as you run the risk of someone having the same dress. Do you have any little boutiquey places near you?

JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 21:16

here think this Km one is still my fav, might go try it on tomorrow.

what colour would you say it is?
coral?

does it look pink or orange to you?

ive got very dark brown hair and was planning a spray tan too so i think the colour would suit me

OP posts:
LaDiDaDi · 15/03/2009 21:16

That is beautiful but too bridesmaidy imo.

JeanPoole · 15/03/2009 21:22

well i won't want to be mistaken for a bridesmaid.

OP posts:
TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 15/03/2009 21:54

I agree with Ewe - KM and Coast are good for this kind of event BUT you do run the risk of bumping into someone else with same dress on.

I would be tempted to go for one of the dresses from Flannels - extremely unlikely that someone else will be wearing same dress

naomi83 · 16/03/2009 07:45

gorge colour

OllieWollieWoo · 16/03/2009 10:03

Next has a load of new stuff on their website - thought this dress was lovely - but again may be too bridesmaidy?
