It looks amazing on you!<br /><br />One smallish thing:&nbsp;I know some brides/groups have a "no black at weddings" norm so perhaps check with your wedding folks, but other than that potential nix I think it's great in general and perfect&nbsp;for the Best Man's Other Half. <br /><br />Since it's a wedding and he has a fancy-pants role you all certainly don't have to match in terms of formality but it's nice to look as if you're at a similar event. I'd say whatever colors appeal -- including metallic -- for accessories. I'm pro-shiny anytime of the day but if the wedding/reception stretches into summer darkness it's certainly extra gorgeous then.<br /><br />[I'll have to go see Diana in her version....] https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-920258 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:49:17 +0000 claracluck 920258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ thats a great dress ,lovely shape on you.a bright clutch will look fab,i used one with my outfit posted today for a christening and it&nbsp;&nbsp;really pops the outfit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-920242 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:22:59 +0000 Ornella 920242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Divine dress.&nbsp;<br /><br />*plonk* https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-920220 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:52:49 +0000 Kristin L 920220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dress looks great Marianna!

I think you will look like a classic Jackie O type - always a good thing https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919934 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:40:24 +0000 sarah 919934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks great on you, Marianna. I would keep it. I love the thought of metallic shoes with it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919930 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:35:40 +0000 marianna 919930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for all the feedback! I will play around with accessories and see what works best. I don't think the wedding will be overly formal so I think I will be able to hit the right note in this dress with the right accessories.<br /><br />I like the fact that it fits me well right off the hanger (and the longer length!)&nbsp;so I feel comfortable in it. I have a hard time with dresses and this one has some crazy camouflaging abilities. I've also gained weight recently so the material is forgiving.<br /><br />LOL Kari -- hilarious story. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919929 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:33:25 +0000 Irene 919929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very flattering dress!!! :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919883 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 08:07:08 +0000 lyn67 919883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Marianna,&nbsp;this is a&nbsp;fab dress&nbsp; on you!!!

I'd never let such a figure (and complexion!) flattering, versatile dress get away! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919819 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 04:39:55 +0000 rae 919819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Totally gorg! I actually wrote down the item number of Diana's to try to find it on the Nordies store system (got a Sept wedding) to no avail. Looks great, don't let it go! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919818 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 04:36:03 +0000 Diana 919818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOL, Kari!&nbsp; You know, J. and I were just at Bloomingdale's today looking for purple ties for him and his two groomsmen.&nbsp; The SA informed us that purple is the hottest new menswear color this season, and indeed there were a ton of purple ties and lavender shirts on display. So, you know, B. would have been very on-trend!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919817 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 04:26:56 +0000 Kari 919817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks amazing. &nbsp;Thumbs up here! &nbsp;And will be very versatile for other semi-formal occasions.<br /><br />Your question reminds me - I was a bridesmaid in a wedding this summer, and B. (who was a guest but not part of the wedding party) nervously asked me "So... since you're a bridesmaid, do I need to wear a tux or something?"<br /><br />Such a sweetie. &nbsp;(Of course the answer was no; he wore dressy pants and a nice button-down shirt and was just fine.)<br /><br />But the bride and I discussed the matter and decided to tell him that not only was the answer yes, but that because the wedding color was purple, his tux needed to be purple AND frilly. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919815 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 04:18:56 +0000 Diana 919815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it, Marianna!&nbsp; Maybe this will become the next YLF Magic Dress.&nbsp; <br /><br />I like the idea of pairing it with metallic shoes and clutch.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919745 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 01:57:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919736 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 01:47:41 +0000 Jaime 919736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dress looks amazing on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919728 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 01:27:06 +0000 Jjsloane 919728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perfect. Please keep. Add metallic shoes and a statement necklace or earrings and you are good to go for the wedding.<br />and metallic or similarly dressy clutch purse. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919683 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:41:57 +0000 Anonymous 919683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.

Very 40s movie star glam with the right accessories!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919676 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:39:09 +0000 Nicole D 919676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Flattering, versatile, but need to see it with accessories. &nbsp;Could make or break the look... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919661 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:23:58 +0000 Echo 919661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a perfect LBD in my book. It can easily be dressed up or down and it is very flattering on you. I think it is great! But to dress it up to be on par with a tux will definitely take some fancy jewelry (sparkly, perhaps), fantastic shoes and a great clutch (again, perhaps blingy instead of coloured). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919658 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:20:38 +0000 Beth Ann 919658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Classic and exceedingly flattering LBD.&nbsp; As long as it's not an outside, daytime wedding, I think black can be a fab choice.<br /><br />Bright clutch is a great idea!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919632 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 23:22:04 +0000 Sveta 919632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a very flattering dress on you, Marianna and you rock black color!<br />I don't know if it is dressy enough for the wedding though, I am a complete dilettante when it comes to the dress code ;-0<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dianas-metallic-dress-in-black-kr#post-919630 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 23:14:38 +0000 kellygirl 919630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is a gorgeous dress, Marianna.
