A colourful cardi and accessories will be the icing on the proverbial cake!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-73154 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:49:32 +0000 Ariadne 73154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Angie, maybe I will! If nothing else I'll give the combo a try. I thought it was too dark for the baptism, but, hey, it's worth a shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-73145 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:27:30 +0000 Angie 73145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bri! You look KILLER in that dress. WOW! Don’t you dare change a thing. (And the brulees look wonderful too). Why don’t you wear that to the christening? Add those cute pearly wedges and a fabulous light coloured necklace. Viola. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-73114 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:30:44 +0000 sinead 73114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like this on you. Seems like a good neutral to work with as a base - or even just a pretty necklace, scarf. Such a great dress, I'd leave it as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-73107 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:12:28 +0000 shell 73107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>brianna, i really like this color on you, actually! i like everyone's suggestions of pairing it with brighter colors instead! but, if you do decide to experiment, i hope you share your venture with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-73074 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:18:59 +0000 shana 73074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great as is - maybe just pop in that turquoise cardi or maybe a tank or a chunky necklace. I lam a huge fan of the turquoise/brown combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-73005 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:49:24 +0000 bella 73005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as it is as well. It is a dark, rich, chocolate brown, which totally suits your complexion. On the other hand, if you still want to dye it, Kashmira has a tutorial on how to dye denim, which I am sure would work for cotton as well.<br /> <a href="http://whatiwore2day.blogspot.com/2007/10/over-dyeing-denim.html" rel="nofollow">http://whatiwore2day.blogspot......denim.html</a><br /> However, since the dress is already a dark color, I am not sure how well it would take to other colors, especially lighter ones. Perhaps navy might be an option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-73003 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:39:05 +0000 marianne 73003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not dye it - I think the color is neutral enough and it can be a great background for accessories (and cardigans, too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-72996 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:18:40 +0000 De 72996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think it looks ok.<br /> I have no clue what I'm talking about, but I think it might have something to do with the fact that this is a very dark brown, close to black? That probably didn't make any sense.<br /> Can't wait to see your new hair color tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-72993 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:11:50 +0000 Ele 72993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress, Brianna. I happen to think it looks great on you, which has me wondering... I mean, we all know Angie would never steer us wrong, but my eyes see this brown question so differently. To me, it seems like such a universally flattering shade! I happen to love it on myself, and on most people that I know. I think it can really warm up a complexion. </p> <p>Anyway, I think it looks great as-is. If you're undecided, why don't you wait until you have your hair coloured, and post another pic? It might be good to double check with your new look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-72982 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:23:52 +0000 Inge 72982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voilà, the white and turquoise cardis sound perfect!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-72981 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:23:22 +0000 Inge 72981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the brown on you at all Brianna. And it will look different with your new hair colour (please post pics!) too. (I love how San says 'or wear the chickadee'!).</p> <p>I'd also try the dress with white sandals or something with a wedge heel. White + brown is a great Summery look in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-72979 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:22:34 +0000 Ariadne 72979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It wouldn't break my heart if it was ruined. I do have white and turquoise cardis that I could wear with it, and a cream jacket... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-72952 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:26:12 +0000 Anonymous 72952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love it as is. Once you put on a little cardigan or wear the chickadee that brings in other colors. I think this fits you so beautifully and it would be a shame if something went wrong and it was ruined. Would it break your heart if it was ruined, or would you be willing to sacrifice it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-dress-should-i-dye-it#post-72947 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:22:13 +0000 Ariadne 72947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has mentioned before that brown can be hard to wear and that she wouldn't put me in plain brown. I have this plain dark brown cotton dress and am wondering if I should dye it (I'd try RIT dye, has anyone been succesful with this?). My hair will be dark ash blonde with highlights as of tomorrow, so take that into consideration.</p> <p><a href="http://unfashioned.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/to-dye-or-not-to-dye/" rel="nofollow">http://unfashioned.wordpress.c.....ot-to-dye/</a> </p>
