Throw in a pair of blue shoes or a handbag and you're done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621517 Wed, 16 May 2012 21:50:51 +0000 catgirl 621517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1, 5, and 9. But I think your KS dress is the best of the bunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621512 Wed, 16 May 2012 21:47:11 +0000 Aida 621512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely agree that you should ask your sister. If it were me I would look for something that "goes" but isn't actually blue, say emerald or purple OR black/white (love Claire's idea of the fan print dress!) so that you look good in the photos but won't be mistaken as part of the bridal party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621068 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:05:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 621068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in complete agreement with Claire - your black and white print Kate Spade dress. It looks stunning on you, is completely appropriate for the occasion and will look fabulous in pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621065 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:59:23 +0000 rae 621065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 Would look AMAZING on you! But overall I like 9 best so that you would be within the color theme but still different than the bridesmaids. In a pic, you don't want to stand out - the bride should definitely stand out the most. I think you could also do a dark purple or black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621057 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:48:47 +0000 RoseandJoan 621057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP you rock a print, how do you feel about a white based print dress such as this one from Boden?<br /> <a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Dresses/Above-Knee-Dresses/BH027/Womens-Silk-Blossom-Dress.html?NavGroupID=4" rel="nofollow">http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/W.....vGroupID=4</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621047 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:39:38 +0000 Echo 621047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Claire hit it. Your printed Kate Spade would be perfect. I'd hold off on blue - especially royal blue - until you know what the bridesmaids dresses will look like. I think coordinating is much better than matching, and a black and white print will coordinate with everything. With a royal blue dress you will either be mistaken for a bridesmaid or clash with them, so I'd actually stay away from blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621027 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:14:12 +0000 Tanya 621027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the official dress code for the wedding Natalie? Afternoon outdoors does not sound that formal, but you never know. I would also ask your sister what she thinks about wearing blue. Once you are certain about the color and the level of formality it should be much easier to decide, as these are all gorgeous dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621025 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:10:13 +0000 Anonymous 621025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? You should wear your black and white Kate Spade fan print dress! A print is always great in wedding pictures. You will go with everyone, without *matching*. That dress is so fabulous on you, I can't imagine you wanting to wear anything else! Pearls, heels and a clutch and you're good to go. And if it happens to get chilly at night.....you have the perfect, matching topper!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621015 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:55:20 +0000 Jjsloane 621015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would ask your sister what color she'd prefer (it's her day). I think #9 hits the right amount of dressy and covered and non-bridesmaidy, but would also consider a print on blue to coordinate but differentiate yourself. I love 10 and 11 on you, but it depends on the dressiness of the rest of the wedding party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621011 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:49:00 +0000 Janet 621011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 jumped out at me the most. I think royal blue would be so lovely on you, nicer than navy, but that may be my personal bias too. </p> <p>I think it's going to be hard to choose something that clearly differentiates from the bridesmaids until the bridesmaid dress is chosen. Can you hold off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-621008 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:40:42 +0000 modgrl 621008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should stay away from royal blue unless you want to be mistaken for a bridesmaid all day. How about your orange origami dress with some sparkle? That dress is fabberiffic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-620974 Wed, 16 May 2012 11:37:48 +0000 BlondeAmbition 620974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would advise against jersey because it's not formal enough for the occasion. I am obsessed with the navy polka dot halter gown..... I may have to snatch this for myself! It's perfect for the occasion, flowy and evening-like but not too serious and not at all mother of the bride. Good find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-620939 Wed, 16 May 2012 09:57:48 +0000 ramya 620939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Jason wu dress on you but i also like 1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-620919 Wed, 16 May 2012 07:28:18 +0000 Aunty 620919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW I would go with the navy so that you are just that bit different from the bridesmaids. 11 looks gorgeous on you, you could add shoes, bag and belt in any colour to make it perfect for the occasion. Lime green would give it a lovely punch of colour </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-620918 Wed, 16 May 2012 07:26:36 +0000 christieanne 620918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1, 8, and 9 with 9 as my favorite - it's a little bit darker as well. Are the bridesmaids wearing short dresses? I think a similar color but different style should be fine. </p> <p>Save the Jason Wu for rehearsal dinner? How fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-dress-for-sister-of-the-bride#post-620902 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:40:25 +0000 goldenpig 620902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sister is getting married this October in Sedona, Arizona. I am not in the wedding party but my two kids will be flower girl and ring bearer. I am looking for an appropriate dress for the wedding. Something not bridesmaid-y, but also not mother of the bride-ish either. The wedding will be in the daytime and outdoors, and I'm not sure about the reception (possibly dinnertime). It will be warm or hot most likely. My sister wants royal blue and white as her colors. Obviously I can't do white, but should I try to wear something blue (since I'll be in the family pics), or will that make me look like a bridesmaid since they will all be wearing royal blue? If not blue, what color? There's no rush on this, I just thought I'd pick your brains so I can start leisurely looking for the right dress. Ideally $250 or less, and I don't typically like strapless or spaghetti strap dresses.</p> <p>Here's a few possibilities from skimming the Nordstrom website--which of these styles look like they might work best/look like my style? Any other suggestions? Thanks!</p> <p>1. Suzi Chin for Maggie Pleated dress--nice, but too bridesmaid-y? Too short?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/suzi-chin-for-maggy-boutique-pleated-dress/3278196?origin=category&#038;resultback=1387" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/su.....tback=1387</a></p> <p>2. Adrianna Papell Dot Halter Gown--navy maxi with white dots--I love the dots, but not sure about the halter style on me though, also the navy might clash with the royal blue<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/adrianna-papell-dot-halter-gown/3268176?origin=category&#038;resultback=3305" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ad.....tback=3305</a></p> <p>3.

Alex evenings beaded ruched jersey gown--on sale! I think this would be flattering on me, but would it be too MOTB?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/alex-evenings-beaded-ruched-jersey-gown/3254531?origin=category&#038;resultback=1528" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/al.....tback=1528</a></p> <p>5. T by Tadashi V neck tiered ruffle skirt chiffon dress--I like it, but does it look dated?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/t-by-tadashi-v-neck-tiered-ruffle-skirt-chiffon-dress/3330695?origin=category&#038;resultback=8587" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/t-.....tback=8587</a></p> <p>6. Maggy London Stretch Satin Sheath dress<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/maggy-london-stretch-satin-sheath-dress/3093924?origin=category&#038;resultback=5441" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ma.....tback=5441</a></p> <p>7.

Suzi Chin for Maggy Belted Cap Sleeve Sheath dress--could potentially reuse this to wear to work.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/suzi-chin-for-maggy-boutique-belted-cap-sleeve-sheath-dress/3284157?origin=category&#038;resultback=5369" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/su.....tback=5369</a></p> <p>9. Maggy London Drape Front Jersey dress:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/maggy-london-drape-front-jersey-sheath-dress-with-beaded-waist/3165473?origin=category&#038;resultback=7529" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ma.....tback=7529</a></p> <p>ETA: I totally forgot! I also have a couple options in my closet:<br /> 10. Jason Wu for Target navy poplin dress. This actually might work well for the occasion because it's rather dressy.</p> <p>11. Tory Burch navy shirtdress with white hearts. This would be cute because of the hearts/wedding tie in. </p>
