It's so rare to see a dress with a matching coat, it sounds lovely.<br />Happy wedding to the mother of the groom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1505179 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 18:29:10 +0000 annabelle 1505179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this thread. YLF always is gracious with its appreciation and generous with good suggestions. I don't know why, but this thread feels particularly exemplary. </p> <p>Thanks for the good karma this morning, and I can't wait to see the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1504939 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 10:42:22 +0000 Eirlys 1504939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've checked my tights. They're Slightly Sunkissed shade and look good with the outfit so I've ordered another pair, in case of ladders. </p> <p>I've worn Barely Black for so long now I'd forgotten other shades exist!</p> <p>Thank you, ALL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503859 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 01:46:06 +0000 Anonymous 1503859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eirlys , your dress sounds beautiful. Splurge for those extra sheer nude stockings. How much of your toes are revealed by your sandals? That could be a factor too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503632 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:50:48 +0000 Gaylene 1503632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a very fine nude tight made for sandals would be perfect. I totally understand not wanting to go bare-legged; my legs aren't bad for 65, but they sure don't look like they used to... And, after a certain age, fishnets can also have a weird vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503627 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:38:56 +0000 Jeweled 1503627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the nude color sounds perfect for a summer event.&nbsp; If it was for fall or winter, black sheer might be a better color for the tights.&nbsp; Your outfit sounds lovely, Eirlys - I can't wait to see it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503622 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:34:32 +0000 Eirlys 1503622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I shall be 85 in August I can't go bare-legged to a wedding. I have bought a pair of very fine tights in a nude colour but haven't tried them on. Really should as&nbsp;I need a couple of pairs in case&nbsp; of a ladder. Wasn't sure if they would be OK. </p> <p>Thank you for the advice. </p> <p>The outfit is from Wallis Petite and if you've never heard of that label&nbsp;it's because it's a British firm. I am in the UK.</p> <p>I am only 5 foot in height so a lot of clothes swamp me. This outfit, I think, is just right and fits in the right places!</p> <p>I will don the whole outfit later and post it for you to see. Too late, mind, for me to change my mind again, if there are adverse comments!&nbsp;&nbsp; :O)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503179 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:22:45 +0000 Kristin L 1503179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thin it sounds lovely. Are there any pics of the dress and coat online? I'd like to see what it looks like. And for hose, what about nude hose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503170 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:07:02 +0000 old chic 1503170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you must wear tights (as I would feel I had to), I suggest either very fine fishnets in nude like the ones made by Falke or these toeless extra-sheers from Wolford in cosmetic (also assuming you are pale-skinned): <a href="http://www.barenecessities.com/wolford-luxe-toeless-pantyhose-170-55_product.htm?pf_id=Wolford17055&amp;search" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.barenecessities.com/wolford-luxe-toeless-pantyhose-170-55_product.htm?pf_id=Wolford17055&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.barenecessities.com.....5&#038;amp</a>;...</a>=. Both are price-y but exquisite, though nearly invisible, and would look smashing with the gold sandals. I don't work for any of these companies -- but I've found that, as I am getting older and can't really go bare-legged anymore, really refined tights work better than the old stalwarts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503098 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 19:26:44 +0000 Helena 1503098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hiya, sounds like a great outfit! Sandals I find tricky with stockings in general, is it possible to go bare-legged? Another thought is going for a closed-toe shoe instead; Angie wore one with a dark stocking and it looked great!&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/12/01/retro-classic-for-the-holidays/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/12/.....-holidays/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-plan#post-1503096 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 19:23:03 +0000 Eirlys 1503096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After some changes (!) I now have my outfit for younger Son's wedding. </p> <p>It's a black and gold dress with matching long "coat". Fabric for both, nice and light.</p> <p>The colours sound awful but actually are quite subdued and everyone likes them!</p> <p>I shall be wearing gold heeled sandals and my problem is, what colour stockings/tights should I wear?</p> <p>I normally wear dark stockings but feel they would look wrong with the gold sandals. </p> <p>I really would welcome your help. My thanks in advance. </p>
