What really matters though is how you look and feel when you put the dress on your body. I find that formal-wear dresses are so individual; what looks good to some, others find too shiny, too tight, too low, too whatever.<br /><br />I think you need a dress try-on marathon. Good luck, keep searching, and don't settle out of frustration. YOUR dress is out there but it may take some time and effort for you and it to find each other. And don't forget to style before you reject; as I've found lately, styling is hugely important in turning what might be doubtful into something magical.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-mog-dresses#post-921664 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:12:52 +0000 Carole 921664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank, annaj!

I did try 2 on at Nordstroms but didn't think it was flattering for my body type but think I will try it again and take pictures and get the verdict here, seems my first impressions are a little off kilter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-mog-dresses#post-921648 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:45:52 +0000 Angie 921648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another stunning dress! Sapphire is a fab colour option. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-mog-dresses#post-921635 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:34:13 +0000 Carole 921635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alicat-thanks for the link...that is a gorgeous dress and just the style that might work, however, the color is probably too close to white:( seems like there is alway a "but". I'm going to check out Neiman Marcus, though, hadn't thought of that!</p> <p>Angie- Phew...thanks for the encouragement this morning..I ordered the first dress which is on back order as well as the dress below in a sapphire color. Just not sure how sapphire will pair with coral, silver, charcoal? I had no idea it would be this hard:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-mog-dresses#post-921622 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:23:19 +0000 Angie 921622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Carole, all the frocks you have linked to are contenders :). You'll have to order and try on a bunch before you settle I'm afraid. But I know you're going to look spectacular so don't worry! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-mog-dresses#post-921600 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:54:44 +0000 Anonymous 921600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Carole, I don't know anything about this designer, but could something like this work?<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Sue-Wong-Sleeveless-Soutache-V-Neck-Cocktail-Dress-sue-wong/prod155960056___/?icid=&amp;searchType=MAIN&amp;rte=%252Fsearch.jsp%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dsue%252Bwong%2526_requestid%253D66270&amp;eItemId=prod155960056&amp;cmCat=search">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/.....prod155960</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-mog-dresses#post-921575 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:25:11 +0000 sarah 921575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ bumping for you, Carole https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-mog-dresses#post-921423 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 04:09:35 +0000 Carole 921423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah-those are both great-especially love the second example...but I'm thinking it will be too hot for sleeves this length...but maybe not hmmmm..thanks so much</p> <p>Caro-those are a couple of beauties, I'm going to check out the polyvore and see what I come up with!

I think the problem with this is the fabric is EXTRA shimmery and looks sort of cheap in photos, if that makes sense.

I know you must be super frustrated. But you have a lot of time, and you'll find something. Dress shopping is the <b>WORST</b>. I like #3 best&nbsp;of the group above.

Thanks for helping me realize this dress is probably not my best style.</p> <p>What do you think of these contenders I'm considering ordering?</p> <p>The color of the wedding are coral and silver but the bridesmaids and groomsmen will be in gray. </p>
