Its not the right dress for a country summer wedding is it?

[Linwin]

...and I don't want to look like one of the bridesmaids

Oh but I love love love it.

dream dress

I think it will be fine, just so long as the bridesmaids are wearing a different colour.

It's beautiful, please buy it immediately

it's not, no. But what the hell. It's amazing. Buy it. And wear it to the flippin' supermarket if you have to - just wear it!!!

It is gorgeous, the back is incredible. bravo!

Vivienne Westwood is usually very flattering too.

pssss

be prepared for angry MNers to slam you for your cash-happy approach to dressing. Kill joys, the lot of 'em. Ignore. Buy.

Ooooh yes buy it - I love all the drapeyness (is that even a word?) and the slight bustle at the back, and the colour, and the fabric. It is beautiful and glamorous and sexy and is making my teeth itch with jealousy.

My dsis wore a midnight blue, one shoulder, bodycon number to a recent wedding and she looked fab.

The more pregnant I get the more I am drawn to threads about clothes.

£765

Can you buy me one too?

It's gorgeous.

oh and someone wore a beautiful black, structured, possibly VivienneW dress to my summer wedding and she looked great and very dramatic and I loved what she was wearing and remembered it, so good stuff all round.

where are the "that would feed my family for a month" mafia???

How come I get them all every time I buy something from Netaporter???

Bravo Linwin, you have awesome taste and fabulous luck!!

I love love love it! I want it.

If I am thin enough to pull it off by the summer I might get it to wear to a country summer wedding too (hopefully not the same one, that would hideous!).

Go, buy!

That is stunning . buy now.

it's lovely

grr, i'm in the US, and just seeing the front page for net-a-porter, not the dress that the rest of you are talking about!
how frustrating

swoon

it's gorgeous

f paying the mortgage

buy it

"where are the "that would feed my family for a month" mafia???"

for a month - are you kidding - that's 4 months worth of food for my family thank you very much .

Yes I do think it's hideous price - but hey if you've got the money to spend and love it - for gods sake buy it!

I don't deny it's a lovely dress...but for a country wedding?

Black during the day is just not done, dahling!

Will you be going to a small church during the day, or to a lovely hotel during the evening?

Do you know what the bridesmaides are wearing?

Lynette - it's not black!!!

No it's not black, I was just reminded of a friend who wore a similiar one and looked great. this one is dark blue.

'tis blue (and stunning).

Do buy it OP, if you can you must...

A colleague of mine spent a similar amount on an outfit from vivienne westwood last year for two weddings. I have to say it was a beautifully crafted suit and incredibly flattering. she also wore it for our xmas night out, so if you divide it by 3 wearings and go with a reasonable pair of shoes and handbag, it actually works out really well.. it does doesn't it?

Hmm, the bridesmaids are in a deep purple though, is it too similar, am I going to look too try-hard?

The wedding is in Scotland so its going to be freezing, and in a v posh hotel.

I know its a ridiculous amount of money, but its my best friend's wedding and I want to look fab!

what size are you?

Perhaps a few of us could get together and buy shares in it?

What do you reckon the re-sale value would be on ebay?
