LBD possibility - now shoes and accessories

[MerlinsBeard]

ANyone got this dress from wallis? How does it fit? is it small/big/ long etc?

And what shoes would you wear with it? would you wear tights?
I am a 6/8 and need an outfit for a 50th in a couple of weeks, want to look fabbo in a classic ish kind of way.

I don't wear orange either, i was just giving examples, I wear reds, purples and blues

do red heads look good in black? I thought they were meant to wear teal greens, rich blues, purples and autumn colours? I guess it depends on your skintone and what shade of red you are. All my red haired friends are pale and interesting and black wears them rather than the other way around

anyway, i will watch this thread to find out how the Op decides to accessorise that black dress

Autumn colours look too Boden for me... purple looks foul on me, ditto blues.

Thanks for your concern over my wearing of black, Kristina. I'm sure you'll be relieved to hear that it looks fine on me

yikes those dresses are bright! The second one is lovely actually, but i never ever wear bold colours. I like to blend in i think

Just bringing this to the top of my threads I am! Kristina you'll be pleased to know I didn't get the black dress!

I need ur help with poss accessories but will link dress and shoes later so you can see(PIL just arrived!)

They do actually look nice with teh dress and needed to be ones i would wear again. Legs are the inbetween paleness so works quite well!!

Would you wear a chunky ish necklace with it? Got a chunky cream daisy necklace too that i have yet to wear. Looks ok.

oops shoes

What a turnaround- but a lovely dress!

Are you wearing tights with it?

[MerlinsBeard]

i coudn't find the same one in teh Wallis shop but there was a similar looking one. It was awful! It hung oddly and clung in strange places. I was rather dejected to say the least!

That one was one i tried on to see what the colour was like on my relatively pae skin!

I am not planning on wearing tights but i do have some black ones i can wear if needs be.
