This is the only dress I have that I could wear to my cousin's wedding, is it awful?

On my profile. Having taking a picture of it, I'm thinking I can't wear it. It looked better in my mirror but still I have major reservations about 1) the asymmetric hemline, both as a general principle and on my legs and 2) the bias cut skirt around my hips. Also, I do actually have a waist which this dress manages to disguise.

I don't really want to buy something else but I could, I just don't want to. I hate shopping for occasions and I will probably get something else that doesn't suit me in a panic.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Love the green dress!!

I agree, it looks great, the length looks fine, but I also have short legs, so understand about wanting to shorten it - you don't need to though, if you feel comfortable with it.

I read your OP, opened your profile, saw the 2 dresses and thought what on Earth are you on about woman - that green dress looks fantastic!

Icantbelieveit · 13/07/2009 22:52

Sorry I see that the OP is very confusing now. I should have started a new thread.

Thank you for the votes of confidence. Swedes, a turquoise shrug you say? . Any ideas where I might find such a thing?

Love the green dress. I'm evangelical about that shape of dress, it really flatters the figure.

And you've also got a head now too, which is nice.........

Gold shrug

black shrug

Sorry I can't find a turquoise shrug, but there are plenty of turquoise pashminas around.

Green dress is stunning. Don't have it shortened. Purple accessories all the way! I'm a bugger for mixing colours though- if you don't feel brave enough, gold would look lovely, too.

alarkaspree · 15/07/2009 13:27

Thank you swedes, thank you everybody!
