My vote would be for #2. Pretty color with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926572 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 19:51:30 +0000 Jenni NZ 1926572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both 1 and 2 with a slight preference for 1 as more interesting. 2 more dressy, and I would find the wrap very fussy esp if you need to hold grandson. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926555 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 18:15:22 +0000 rachylou 1926555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926554 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 18:13:12 +0000 Thistle 1926554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2, followed by #3 then #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926552 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 17:26:07 +0000 unfrumped 1926552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I see that! Also the linen weave cardi is more floppy, does not have as distinct a lapel or shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926549 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 17:15:29 +0000 Angie 1926549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, this is what I see:</p> <p>Colour pops. Looks dressy. Structured. Clean. Lines work with the dress. Wrap looks fussy. Lines don't work as well with the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926548 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 17:09:05 +0000 unfrumped 1926548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, thanks Angie!<br /> So several votes for the bone cardigan.<br /> Is that because of color? That shade does blend with accessories better and pops more with the red. Or fabrication works better? Appreciate “ outfit lab” for why things work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926547 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 17:04:02 +0000 Angie 1926547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look KILLER SUBLIME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926545 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 17:00:05 +0000 unfrumped 1926545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Backup plan is good suggestion. I’m not sure I’ll get to scope out the dress code before committing, though as we might be walking from the hotel to the wedding venue and not necessarily be able to run out or back to car to make a swap on- scene.<br /> However, I will be meeting up with my DD beforehand so could get her fashion input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926543 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 16:54:08 +0000 Elizabeth P 1926543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one, esp if it's "only if I am freezing".&nbsp; I do like #3, but totally understand your reluctance to shell out money for a maybe onetime thing.&nbsp; How about taking it with tags on and seeing if you feel it'd be more appropriate once you get there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926538 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 16:50:15 +0000 columbine(erin) 1926538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krshnidoux has a good plan for you! Hope you have a lovely time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926537 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 16:46:21 +0000 krishnidoux 1926537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would take 2 and 3, with the intention of wearing 2, but if upon arriving you discover 2 is not dressy enough, then switch to 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-wrap-for-wedding-outfit#post-1926534 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 16:36:44 +0000 unfrumped 1926534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am packing for wedding trip  &amp; am choosing a wrap at last minute. </p> <p>Temps will be high 90's but I expect brutal Texas indoor air-conditioning. I can probably gut it out for awhile and through ceremony, or might get lucky with temps,sleeves, but feel I should be prepared as I run cold and could end up huddling. </p> <p>The dress style is hard for toppers, being boxy and asymmetrical. I assumed I'd have to do just a wrap so ordered this ivory one.I actually hate wraps for me IRL,  except for pure sitting events like in a cold theater, because they just don't stay put and aren't that warm unless I cover up fully and  tie them on like grandma. I love the look of a beautiful wrap draped over arms in a sleeveless gown but I don't do that any more. I have a ton of seldom-worn wraps.</p> <p>So I realized I had these 2 EF open cardigans. The first is the one I am really considering --at first I didn't think of it because it's kind of on the silver-gray spectrum, whilst shoes are warmer tone, but I tried it in daylight and due to its slightly tweedy blend of colors and loose weave,I think it works; <br /> Second cardi is the EF bone color--color is good but it's more casual and dense weave so I see it for another type of event; also reads as a lot more almost-white color which I usually avoid for weddings, though I think the lot-of-red dress mitigates that.<br /> Last is the silky wrap which I am kind of loathe to buy just for this  if I don't have to. <br /> Final thought is for part of event , my adorable 17 mo-old grandson will be present, I may have to (want to!) pick him up, and so something less fussy and dress-protecting would be good.</p> <p>I am driving so could take more than one thing, but I think it's best to just pick &amp;go.</p> <p>So, I appreciate votes or suggestions--my preference is to make do with the first linen-knit cardi, just if I am freezing. Plus, please weigh in on whether the light colors strike you as not good for wedding. I I have always avoided white in any significant amount, not even a dressy white jacket), or if red dress takes care of that--no chance I'll be mistaken for the bride and I would not have to wear for family pics.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
