I would be giving someone major stink eye right now... you are clearly a much nicer person than me, lol.&nbsp;</p> <p>While I am someone who defers to DH if we are seeing his friends or family, it's just not right to drop that kinda bomb on you at the last minute. I'm glad you are going to wear the dress - I think it will look kind of ethereal once you have makeup on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983453 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:46:17 +0000 ElleH 983453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies for all the compliments, support &amp; advice. I will wear the dress, with pride, &amp; have a convo with him about his timing in the future. I won't bother with fake tan, another dislike of his, but I did 10 mins each side&nbsp;in the Cali sun today, not as bad as Australia. I still blend into the dress but whatever. I do wear make-up for special occasions &amp; am having it done tomorrow at his suggestion. You would think I was the one getting married sheesh.&nbsp;Those of you who think he is stressed about other's opinions of me must be right because he has never suggested I get my make-up done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983419 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:19:52 +0000 Deborah 983419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle I am so sorry our DH has put you in a bit of a spin over the dress.&nbsp; There is no question you look absolutely fabulous in the dress.&nbsp; And I think your choice of accessories will 'lift' it.&nbsp; Also do you wear makeup.&nbsp; Some colour on your face, a nice lip colour, will also make a difference.&nbsp; The MK outfit is a stunner but only chase it if you have time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also maybe accept that it is just his personal taste, and that doesn't mean you don't look amazing.&nbsp; To be honest you have some a fab figure that i am suprised he even noticed the dress :)&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course the other option is , as you pointed out, say 'darling I am sorry you don't like dress, so let's go shopping together and help me choose something more to liking...and I assume money is no object... you want me to look good right' lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983411 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:11:39 +0000 Anonymous 983411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in the peach dress. If you feel that it washes you out you might try a bronzer or Jergens self tanner or just a bit brighter blush and lipstick. When the compliments roll in, I'll bet he changes his mind. The Dutchess of Windsor would wear this dress and look beautiful in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983404 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:05:21 +0000 Vix 983404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH MY GOD YOU LOOK GREAT IN IT&nbsp;AS-IS TELL HIM TO CHILL!!!</p> <p>Sorry, had to get that out. I can only imagine your frustration at this point.</p> <p>Elle, you've been pretty angst-y about spending lots of time with inlaws/other wedding guests, right? And some of this is expressing itself in your desire to&nbsp;wear the "right thing," and his nixing dresses he things are too this/that/the other, yes?</p> <p>Why do I have the feeling he's projecting similar fears/anxieties onto your poor clothing?!</p> <p>Remind him if nothing else, Brits do love their eccentrics. Even if you're that over-the-top, not-our-kind-dear American it will be all right in the end.</p> <p>Now tell him not to say another word aside from "Beautiful" [etc] and to start doting on you know. You two need to be blissful not bickering in the midst of all those strangers and family members! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983401 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:59:20 +0000 DonnaF 983401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I just wanted to add that I'm so sorry about this twist and extra stress.&nbsp; I know that you have been worrying about wedding guest attire for quite awhile now.&nbsp; The peach dress looks lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983399 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:56:30 +0000 DonnaF 983399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never used the stuff, but what about self-tanner to make you darker and contrast more with the dress?&nbsp; Ummm, I guess it would make you dark orange, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983381 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:34:54 +0000 ElleH 983381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clown is such a nice name for it Rachy. I could think of many others but won't post them here. I am wearing that dress, unless he gives me 4 figures to buy a new one, which isn't going to happen, which is probably why I said 4 instead of 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress/page/2#post-983363 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:10:39 +0000 rachylou 983363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously, I'm afraid you look fabulous in this dress. It's precisely because it's so close to your skin tone. That's where the cool factor comes from. Maybe you can gently explain to him about being in clown world now? And let him know he is, in fact, right? But that, like I say to my bf, he's in clown world now. Nothing for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983359 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:06:58 +0000 Peri 983359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Men are annoying! My DH will nix a lot of things I try, or just be so lukewarm about it it spoils my enjoyment. But as for him...I have been extremely verbal on hating several things he wears and he just laughs and wears them anyway! I have told him I'm going to be like that and he says "fine" but I just can't.</p> <p>Others have given you great advice, I just wanted to say you are not alone!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983353 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:02:30 +0000 Ana 983353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this dress! I showed the outfit to my husband (he is English) and he says he likes it too and would be good for a wedding there. Just in case you needed a second (English) dude's opinion. :D&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983344 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 01:54:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 983344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well talk about a frustrating and stressful situation! I really like Suz's suggestion about "the talk" for future situations but of course, that doesn't help you dress for the upcoming wedding.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look positively stunning in the dress and if I recall, Angie felt quite keen on it as well. Would you feel comfortable wearing it anyway knowing how DH feels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983333 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 01:48:46 +0000 Betti 983333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I don't know the whole story so I'm not going to tell you what to do, but here is what happens here:<br />I put dress on. DH says "you're wearing THAT?"<br />I'm like "don't you like it?"<br />DH says "it's kind of&nbsp;(insert word here, like fancy, sheer, dark, etc)."<br />I say "Ok, it's a good thing you don't have to wear it then."</p> <p>Hope everything works out for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983331 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 01:47:38 +0000 Suz 983331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay - crazy thought -- what about dyeing the dress?&nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe not right now. Sounds like a tricky stress-making job, potentially. But the dress shape is lovely on you. If you don't care for the colour - presto-chango!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983299 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:57:32 +0000 ElleH 983299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap I love the peach dress as a dress. I think it looks good on my body but I agree with DH about the colour looking bland &amp; washed out against my skin. I bought the dress in Australia &amp; couldn't return it so by the time I realized this I was back in the US &amp; decided I would just wear a bright coloured shoe &amp; bag. I didn't find bright ones I like, though I have a new coral shoe, just arrived today,&nbsp;I can post pics of, but I did find gold, which I think helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983296 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:51:36 +0000 missvee 983296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how annoying. You've spent hours putting this outfit together and it looks lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983294 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:50:04 +0000 Raisin 983294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, you crack me up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983279 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:30:52 +0000 Suz 983279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy - &nbsp;that is genius! I love it. And yeah, that's kind of what happens with us, too, and then DH decided <b>HE</b> likes said "weird" outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983274 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:27:47 +0000 rachylou 983274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is how it goes down in my world: </p> <p>Bf thinks I'm dressed weird.<br />I am, in fact, dressed weird.<br />He has to go out with me dressed weird.<br />I get a ton of compliments.<br />We laugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983240 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:02:08 +0000 Anonymous 983240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, at this point I would go with what I like. Which one do you like best? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983238 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:00:34 +0000 Suz 983238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle, so sorry DH has thrown a wrench into the works. The dress is gorgeous on you, and with the accessories you've chosen will be even more so.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you won't feel happy in it, then that's a different matter. But it looks great.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glory makes a good point. Sometimes my DH says he doesn't care for something, only to realize that it does look good later on.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd probably have a chat with him (later) about when it is fair to share his thoughts and when it is not okay. I have had that chat with my husband. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>I have also had another chat with him that goes: Thank you for your opinion. Did I ask for your opinion just now? No? Then I would appreciate it if you would let this subject drop. I need your support as I venture into this territory (whatever the event is). And if you criticize my outfit when it is too late to do anything about it, I feel unsupported.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983207 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:32:31 +0000 ElleH 983207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I would either wear it or buy a very expensive new outfit that I wouldn't normally feel comfortable at that price &amp; tell him I had no time to find anything else lol. Any suggestions? Trouble is, it&nbsp;<i>is&nbsp;</i>too late. Even the expensive high end Spring/Summer 2013 stuff is sold out. I would love to wear <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417184122714/">this</a>, which would be still expensive on sale, the top is on sale at MK but the skirt isn't on the website so probably sold out. Maybe I could head over to the store in BH tomorrow &amp; see.&nbsp; </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/adrianna-papell-lace-fit-flare-dress/3410384?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Navy&amp;resultback=1354&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_4_A">This</a> is affordable but maybe too young for me?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983201 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:28:52 +0000 Glory 983201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look lovely in the dress. I would go ahead and wear it. Men can be funny - could be that in a week he will like it. I would not re-shop at this point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983198 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:23:47 +0000 donnat 983198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely, wear the dress. He should be told how you appreciate his opinion,<br /> But it is too late at this point. Like what Sveta said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983194 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:21:24 +0000 unfrumped 983194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a marriage counselor, but sometimes just murmuring, oh, I'm so sorry,&nbsp;I'm afraid&nbsp;this will do for now since we're short on time, &nbsp;and another time I'll have one you'll like better.....<br />Then have yourself a great time looking fabuloso in your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983186 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:16:36 +0000 Thistle 983186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. Men!

Sorry to hear your DH feels so strongly and has weighed in at the last minute &lt;smh&gt;.&nbsp;That dress looks great on you. Understated colorwise, but the draping and fit are awesome -- and that's key to wearing minimalistic pieces.</p> <p>Now, do you feel fab in that dress? If so, I think you should wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983182 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:08:40 +0000 Anonymous 983182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How frustrating! I love the shoes and clutch anyway. Maybe you should wear your Burberry trench. As a dress. Just kidding, I know it's going to be too hot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dh-doesnt-like-peach-dress#post-983179 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:06:41 +0000 Sarah A 983179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry DH shared his opnion so late and has caused this stress but now... lets talk about that great dress!
