Tights with this dress?

84 replies

misha print dress for a slightly alternative wedding (we're all camping out, and will have my wellies on standby)

The woman in the dressing rooms suggested purple tights.

I'm not so sure. They make me feel a bit like a four year old at a christmas party.

Have ordered the Rocket Dog Otto Ii in purple. From Schuh to try. Presumably not with purple tights.

Also, i got a daft looking fascinator as the bride is absolutely insisting on hats. I can't seem to find any hats that aren't old lady style. Where do you find funky hats?

TIA

Take some antibacterial hand gel in your clutch for goodness sake

Aye Slubber, but not in a muddy field.
A salon, accessorised with Martini and fag in holder, yes indeedy.Muddy British field, rolly amd plastic pint pot of shite cider. I think not.

Slubberdegullion · 19/09/2009 23:16

ah x posts.

Well if it portaloos in a field then maybe fashioning your hat out of bog roll might satisfy the bride and also turn out to be rather practical.

I couldn't go to a wedding with those sorts of loos

moondog · 19/09/2009 23:17

Oh yes, vile jester hats. I want to kick people who wear those. They generally arse about with monocycles or those things you whizz acroos a string attached to two sticks. Sometimes they even...juggje.

CybilLiberty · 19/09/2009 23:18

you musn't juggje folk who juggje

Slubberdegullion · 19/09/2009 23:19

I'd wear that turban hat in a muddy field. It would be warm at the very least.
(is this wedding to be had in a Scottish muddy field? If it is then I think you need to be considering a matchy match vest under the dress and not be worring so much about your legs).

Slubberdegullion · 19/09/2009 23:20

rofl at juggjing

nevergoogledragonbutter · 19/09/2009 23:21

arf at juggje

actually i don't know what type of loos.

i swear there will be no jester hats or unicycles.

will be civilised and posh, but with camping festival vibe to the evening.

GetOrfMoiLand · 19/09/2009 23:23

When is it? Is it in Autumn/winter in the UK? In a field?

nevergoogledragonbutter · 19/09/2009 23:25

big house, camping on the grounds.

do you think the dancefloor might get a bit 5 rhythms? no shoes necessary.

Slubberdegullion · 19/09/2009 23:53

Oh dear. Well if I had a face like that I'd absolutely go with the net over the face option.

brokenspacebar · 20/09/2009 00:43

you either wear purple tights with purple shoes, or black tights, with black shoes, imvho, wearing black shoes with purple tights is very wrong(with that particular dress, the pattern means you should keep everything else understated/plain) - unless you have incredibly long legs and you want them to appear shorter/chunkier?

I think bright tights with platform stilleto can look good, sometimes.

Alternatively, get these and wear blue tights.
