The wedge makes them so much more manageable than a stiletto and the straps are very pretty and feminine.</p> <p>Nice work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1840047 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 00:03:05 +0000 Berkeley Girl 1840047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes seem perfect for the dress and the occasion. BC, I'm looking forward to seeing a (supremely un-frumpy!) photo of you in the dress and shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1839586 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 15:41:28 +0000 Anonymous 1839586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks.

I loved its details on the bodice. Also, the navy color is something that I would lure to adorn. This is definitely going to look good on you.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1838924 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 17:17:48 +0000 Anonymous 1838924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Karen13</b>. I tried the shoes on, and the width is perfect. I did go up a half size, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1838721 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 23:25:53 +0000 karen13 1838721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see the dress with the shoes and I'm stoked that the shoes fit comfortably enough (and you got a screaming deal!!). </p> <p>I just remembered that I did successfully stretch the width of the Alex Marie sandal band across the forefoot a tad bit with a shoe stretcher, if you need a bit more room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1838591 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 13:48:08 +0000 Anonymous 1838591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress got here last night. I haven't had a change to try it on yet, but the "tan" part of the dress is actually soft white, which is better for me. Also, they shipped it on a hanger in a garment bag, which was then placed inside a cardboard box. I appreciate that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1838033 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 16:21:19 +0000 Anonymous 1838033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1837907 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 02:09:19 +0000 MsGreer 1837907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress and really pretty colors.<br /> I like the flare and lenght. The lace top is gorgeous. I agree the shoes should work fine on grass or soft surfaces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1837873 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 23:49:13 +0000 Anonymous 1837873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes got here today. They fit perfectly, and I appreciate the padding in the insole. I did go up a half size to account for the width. They're good shoes for the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1837098 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 12:19:45 +0000 Anonymous 1837098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I simply hate wearing those strappy sandals that you always see advertised for weddings. They are so uncomfortable. I don't want my bunions to show, either, and I think the sandals you recommended will disguise them a bit. Did you see the clearance price on those shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1837001 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 02:35:43 +0000 karen13 1837001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - I so hope they work! I never wear dresses or heels, and didn't want a single purpose shoe. I looked forever, and was really surprised to find these at Dillards - the SA said they ran wider even though they aren't a wide width. </p> <p>I feel like I can wear them with pants if the occasion arises - the silver makes them dressy and the rope detail adds a nice touch that can go either dressy or a bit more casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836978 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 01:12:33 +0000 Anonymous 1836978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was walking through and sinking down into grass at my oldest DD's wedding, so I learned my lesson. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836971 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 00:51:06 +0000 anne 1836971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely dress. I think Karen's sandal suggestion is great.&nbsp; I wish I'd persisted and found a wedge sandal for a wedding on grass I attended a while ago - my heels were sinking in the whole time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836969 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 00:46:39 +0000 JAileen 1836969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really pretty dress! I don't have any suggestions for shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836966 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 00:07:12 +0000 Anonymous 1836966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I've been on a show safari hunt, but haven't found anything. I, too, was thinking of metallic shoes with a heel that doesn't sink into the ground. I also want a non-skid sole for slick cruise ship floors.</p> <p>Karen13, I couldn't pass up on ordering the silver sandals you posted. I, too, wear a D width. I always wear size 7.5D, so I went up a half size like you did. The shoes are on clearance and can't be returned, but at that price, they're worth trying. Besides, it's not like I'm going to be wearing them every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836950 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 22:40:09 +0000 Lucy 1836950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is such a lovely dress, and perfect for the wedding! I too like the idea of metalic wedges or block heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836932 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 21:39:25 +0000 lozz_oz 1836932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very pretty dress - I like everything about it. Perhaps metallic block heel sandals so you don't sink in the grass? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836930 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 21:27:06 +0000 Anonymous 1836930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember that your shoes may also need to be comfortable for dancing. I wore navy for DS's early August wedding a few years ago. It was a long dress that I had cut off to be knee length. The hard part was finding something to cover my arms in the church (the dress was sleeveless). If this is a concern, start looking early. I ended up with a multi colored silk scarf but wish I'd thought to have the bottom of the dress made into some sort of wrap or jacket. There was lots of fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836929 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 21:20:53 +0000 karen13 1836929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! It will look lovely on you. </p> <p>I hunted for ages for a mid height silver wedge for the wedding I attended in Hawaii and really liked this one. It worked well on grass and I was able to wear and dance in for a several hours. It is a bit wider across the forefoot, and pretty true to size. I'm typically a 6.5W, and I got a 7 for more room for my D width foot. I think it is a Dillard's house brand. BTW I do not tolerate uncomfortable shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836926 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 21:10:16 +0000 Anonymous 1836926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think navy will look fine on you but maybe, since it's sleeveless, if you're not completely satisfied you could balance it with something in addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836916 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 19:28:05 +0000 Anonymous 1836916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope so! Fit-and-flare dresses usually work for me, so I'm crossing my fingers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836908 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 18:51:07 +0000 rachylou 1836908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful dress!

I don't know where I'll find some dressy shoes that will be comfortable enough for my fussy feet and still work outdoors in case I have to walk through grass or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836869 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:38:10 +0000 Lisa 1836869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's really pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836863 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:30:03 +0000 Berkeley Girl 1836863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely dress! And it feels very wedding-appropriate. I love that it's sleeveless, and that, combined with the not-quite-halter neckline and subtle cutouts at the top make it not matronly, which I know is something I'd be looking for if I were the mother of the bride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-2#post-1836854 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:13:15 +0000 Anonymous 1836854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this dress from Macy's today, as it looks like my DD may choose the Botanical Gardens as her wedding venue. The wedding is planned for July, and it occurred to me that she may not want me in a long dress. This navy one looks weather appropriate, and can also be used for cruises if not worn for the wedding. Also, I think navy goes with a lot of colors, so it will probably blend with whatever wedding colors she chooses. I know this navy is not a SSu color, but since it has the tan color in the bodice and it's sleeveless, I'm hoping it won't overwhelm me. </p>
