That's my favorite. If it proves too difficult with the hem alteration, either of the others would work beautifully, too. You are seriously stunning in all of them. I second Vix's idea of blue shoes as a possibility; I could see a beautiful midnight blue satin with the rose gold.&nbsp; You could pick up the color in a sapphire-like jewelry at your neck, wrist, or ear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help/page/2#post-1749264 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 17:50:52 +0000 rachylou 1749264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, it has to be #1. Any shoes, any bag. The dress is the whole show, nothing else matters. Lol. It's FABULOUS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help/page/2#post-1749251 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 17:17:31 +0000 lpr200 1749251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1, and can't wait to see what you accessories you add </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help/page/2#post-1749196 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 14:53:18 +0000 harmonica 1749196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party. #1 is gorgeous! I really like the idea of burgundy shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749174 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 14:28:40 +0000 Muffin 1749174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last night I ordered some shoes from Amazon and will have some time today to look locally. Will see if I find anything in burgundy, dusty rose, nude, bronze, etc--thank you for opening my eyes to more possible solutions. I would like to have it all settled to I can get the alterations under way.</p> <p>I do think I would like #2 in black better too. Curious to see how the smaller size fits but I definitely don't need to be adding 3 dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749086 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 10:58:31 +0000 peacechick 1749086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the romantic feel of dress #1 but I also like #3 very much. The slightly padded shoulders make the dress out of the ordinary and it also fits you really well. Going to go against the grain and vote for #3!</p> <p>I suspect #2 may look pretty good in black, if you ever want to try it for another event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749080 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 10:36:48 +0000 approprio 1749080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #3. Utterly gorgeous, knocks the other two out of the park IMHO.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749077 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 10:24:36 +0000 lyn67 1749077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awh, all 3 are beautiful-really, but didn't realized the white is also a sequin dress! Nr 1 is more classic and is also &nbsp;my fave, too-color and neckline is very elegant, but I would think to keep them all, if having other events, as they are quite a great fit, and each suits you really well!:-)&nbsp; </p> <p>(Nr 2 is a tad more covered, so &nbsp;can be worn to opera or a little less formal event, too-. Nr 3 is the most trendy, to me, and white is always super elegant, radiate confidence and is outstanding, if you are comfortable with that!!!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749040 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 05:59:26 +0000 Barbara Diane 1749040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not taking comfort, costs, alterations into it, I think #1 is the most special, although I like you in #2 also.&nbsp;<br />Looking forward to seeing you in the completed outfit.<br />I haven't worn anything that fancy in years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749039 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 05:54:20 +0000 bj1111 1749039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I also like #3 -/ my second choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749025 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 05:19:31 +0000 Anonymous 1749025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in again. I think dusty rosy mauve accents could be pretty and like the burgundy suggestion Suz made too. Accenting with matte rose gold pieces, blush, nude, or a deeper more coppery than rose color could work also. Maybe something a bit bronze or pweter-y.<br /> It looked great on you, look forward to seeing it styled. I have those Jcrew earrings, so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749018 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 04:39:42 +0000 Muffin 1749018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More #1 votes, but a few for the white one too (sadly I can understand being in the minority vote today...and this has proved a good distraction). I very much appreciate each and everyone one of your kind words and input!!!</p> <p>The bright gold #2 will go back. I will try on the smaller size just for curiousity sake when it arrives. I may hang on to the white one for a bit and run it by husband and a few friends. I do like it quite a bit and will have future reasons to wear it (&amp; the price was great!).</p> <p>Suz, burgundy is a really interesting idea that I hadn't even considered! I will bring the dress to the stores when I look. I do have a gorgeous pair of nude pumps but worry that they aren't special enough. Not sure why this is a worry because they really won't be seen but I just have this idea in my head that it should be an evening shoe/sandal. I will try them on with the dress and see if I can be satisfied (and one less thing to purchase). Off to look online! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749010 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 04:04:29 +0000 Greyscale 1749010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #1 too! What a great color. Red carpet worthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749008 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 04:01:22 +0000 Liz A. 1749008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1! &nbsp;The color and cut are stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749007 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 03:52:50 +0000 Vix 1749007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Muffin --</p> <p>Ooooh, you're not making this easy!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love how the white NR find looks on you; so elegant and flattering. However, I could say the same about the rose gold and from the photos I think the color is better for your skin and hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>You might need to get some IRL eyeballs on these....</p> <p>As far as accessories, I think any color that works with your coloring and the dress would be fine with #1. A brighter green or blue, maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1749003 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 03:33:51 +0000 shedev 1749003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is absolutely stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748988 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 02:48:30 +0000 Anonymous 1748988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like them in the order you're wearing them.<br /> The Anthro dress is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748987 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 02:46:29 +0000 JAileen 1748987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 best too.

I think that white dress is extremely flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748972 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 01:24:10 +0000 Suz 1748972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are lovely on you but my favourite is #1. Gorgeous. I'm also really attracted to #3, although I agree that the fabric seems "thick" somehow.&nbsp;</p> <p>For footwear...hmmm. Maybe a bright...nude for you would work too although perhaps not very exciting. Still, they will mostly be covered.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if a sort of burgundy would work?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748960 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 00:10:21 +0000 Pat_P 1748960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While all three are very nice, I love #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748946 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 23:14:21 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1748946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white one best, and the original one second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748942 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 22:20:53 +0000 bj1111 1748942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 by a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748932 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:41:10 +0000 Muffin 1748932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for taking the time to chime in today! I guess it goes to show you should always go with your first instinct--dress #1 seems to be the clear winner.<br /> Funny Smittie that you commented on "thickness" of the white dress, there are some kind of strange (but pleasing for whatever reason) thick shoulder pads and maybe the pattern of the sequins (and being white) adds to this.</p> <p>And thank you Texstyle and Smittie--will start a serious search for nude, gold, and bright rose out for shoes &amp; clutch. I'll be back to post more as I find options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748929 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:37:10 +0000 binkle 1748929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes on #1! The neckline and fabric are so interesting, I think you could get away with no necklace, or just simple pearl strand. Gold or ivory/warm-toned clutch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748927 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:27:53 +0000 Mirjana 1748927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others #1 is the best choice. You look so elegant, gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748925 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:21:46 +0000 Anonymous 1748925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is dress #1. Looks fantastic with your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748909 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 20:52:12 +0000 texstyle 1748909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also really prefer dress #1. What about nude to you shoes or an unexpected bright rose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-help#post-1748888 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 19:43:43 +0000 Anonymous 1748888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the rose gold one on you best (#1). I like the white one too, but it seems thick, or something.<br /> I can't help with the accessories and shoes! Maybe gold works with rose gold? I don't know. </p>
