Were I (hypothetically) to buy this dress, which colour?

[BonsoirAnna]

Here

Pale or dark?

IMHO - I think the bright pink dress would look stunning. It is fab!

But... the lighter rose fabric dress has the potential to... errr... how do I put this...maybe 'wash you out a bit' as my Mother would say.

Have fun in Brussels!

Yes, I have a plan .

Actually, I already went shopping today and bought two pairs of very beautiful warm and practical winter trousers and some -pretty suede highly functional ankle boots. But that is day wear and doesn't count

Nodding in agreement at "as my mum would say " it looks shoddy""

The skirt can't be serious, surely?

lol dogon re dummy i thought exactly the same.

hang on your username's nothing to do with the dogon is it

Last dress looks like nightie(sorry Anna!)

However I would wear the original pink one for winter with my black Uniqlo heat tech poloneck, opaque tights and black knee boots. But then again, on another thread someone said her 70 yr old MIL dressed like me so perhaps you had better not take my advice ...

Minus the ruffle, the "alabaster and rose" dress reminds me of a winceyette nightie

millenium, no. Not dogon

I love the gloves that you are supposed to wear with the flowery dress!!
I see your cashmere wristwarmers and raise you sheepskin ones!

i've been consistently misreading it, only realised after my first post.

i had it in my head that it was like a loyalty card scheme but for, well, tribes who know more than they should do about astronomy... um, yeah but the usernames on here get more and more outlandish it seemed to make a kind of sense at the time

I am a dog on points. Think ballet.

clearly, much more sensible

Definitely the pink. Love the colour.

I really like that red skirt - very striking.

T-shirt looks very wearable.

Not sure about the rose-print dress, but if you can carry off that frilly bit, then go for it. I would look dopey, for sure!

@ your shopping budget!!

Have fun shopping!

I went to the Marni store on Avenue Montaigne this afternoon. Lots and lots of items in the rose print and they are fab but ££££++++. They didn't have the red skirt but they had the same design in navy, and the t-shirt in light grey (boring, boring but shape is great). Still thinking...

Anna

I have just bought the most divine Anthologie frock.

It's called Gemini, I will try and find it for you. Hold on.

Ici

i like that Anthology dress though it looks very summery and suspiciously like the pattern of an Anthology coat i once had

Ooh really? I like the pattern, it's not your kind of weak 'ditsy' you see in Dotty P's etc, it's a really heavy textured cotton with sort of fading. It feels like a 1940s fabric, almost seersuckerish but not iyswim - like a rough open weave? But thick.

I plan to wear it with a cardi during autumn, maybe a t shirt under and cardi covering sleeves when it's colder.

I love it.

Also got the dress lower down on that page, which is whitish with brown beaded straps. It is GORGEOUS though very weddingy...the material is 5% steel you can feel it - quite stiff.

oh in that case Ditsy one is lovely wish i was a 12...mutter grumble my coat sold for peanuts on Ebay i was gutted

I have only just discovered anthology

Can't afford their stuff unless it is 70% off but it's so pretty.

Sorry about your coat

The sizing isn't generous btw if anyone is thinking of getting it. I'm normally a 10, the 12 is fine but a 10 would have been a bit fitted I think.

Same with the Noli one.

Though i will have to get married now, to wear it. And it does make me look slightly expectant.

Glad I can't afford things like that red skirt.

It really wouldn't flatter my big a**e

Anna is very very slim, non?
