It is perfect for daytime Summer wedding. I am looking for one too but I will be 47 at time of wedding so I am too old for a dress like this but for you it is stunning!!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics/page/2#post-934859 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:19:55 +0000 amiable 934859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I know everyone else has said it too, but this is YOUR DRESS. &nbsp;It's perfectly flattering and completely wonderful! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics/page/2#post-934851 Fri, 17 May 2013 12:00:18 +0000 Astrid 934851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Scarlet! They sound nice, I'll check them out.<br /><br />Rute, those outfits with the denim jackets were just to see if I could wear the dress on more casual occasions later on too. I don't want to buy a dress I can wear ONLY at the wedding. I'm not going to style it that way for the occasion. I'm going to look for different shoes like Angie suggested, metallic flats sound nice btw. I thought about going with a cardigan too, or maybe a blazer.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics/page/2#post-934842 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:52:37 +0000 rute 934842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'll be honest. Here no one goes with a denin jacket or loafers to a wedding, but maybe it's something cultural..<br />I love the dress, why not adding mettalic flats and a small white cardigan? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics/page/2#post-934840 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:47:38 +0000 Scarlet 934840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is so pretty and summery and it fits you perfectly. Zara has some pretty ballerinas right now that look like a copy of Ferragamos. They are blush colored with a little satin bow. I would have bought them but I was between sizes. Good look hunting! </p> <p>ETA: they are patent leather </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934777 Fri, 17 May 2013 08:27:31 +0000 Astrid 934777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks so much everyone! I've decided to keep it, I love it and I don't think I would find something better in that price range, even if I kept looking.&nbsp; <br /><br />Beth Ann, that's interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how this will go after the first wash. It's machine washable by the way, or I wouldn't have kept it. I don't have the money to give things away for dry cleaning.<br /><br />Una, I agree. They didn't have all the pieces in the store where I bought it, but I saw the shorts.<br /><br />Lyn, it's from Hallhuber. <br /><br />As for the shoes, I'm going to have a look for something light and dressy. Lyn, I promise I won't rule out some tiny heels! I guess I'm so set against them because I own very few shoes so far and the ones I have also needed to work in everyday life, which includes lots of walking, bad roads and public transport.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934753 Fri, 17 May 2013 06:54:56 +0000 lyn67 934753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a perfect and gorgeous frock, Astrid, so happy for you! <br />About shoes I'm with Angie(you need light and dressy ones), but if possible look for an inch kitten&nbsp;heel or wedge one. Will lift your heels a bit on the back and will &nbsp;longer your legs from front view&nbsp;so beautiful, but will still be comfy.<br />I beg you Astrid, only 1 ", pls:-)). You are young and beautiful!!!! Please try!!!!:-) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934743 Fri, 17 May 2013 05:29:08 +0000 AJ 934743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are you convinced yet to keep?

WOWZA. &nbsp;Wish they shipped here. &nbsp;Or maybe I'm lucky they don't! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934314 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:56:57 +0000 Irene 934314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'll put on my floral fit-and-flare dress and we can go have a cup of tea in the country side!! Please keep this dress, it's beautiful on you!!!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934307 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:41:57 +0000 Beth Ann 934307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a great dress!&nbsp; This is absolutely the right choice.&nbsp; As for the pleats:&nbsp; Many of these fabrics have a sizing finish that diminishes after laundering, and sometimes just with wearing.&nbsp; This results in a softer drape, which sometimes takes care of that pleat issue by itself.&nbsp; Love it with your toppers, and I think it would work well under shorter blazers, too.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934304 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:37:15 +0000 KikiG 934304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is <b>absolutely</b> one of the cutest things I have ever seen on you! You have such a cute shape, and this dress really works with your natural assets, but in a totally tasteful way.&nbsp; And it seems to express your personality--I love that!&nbsp; I also love that it **looks expensive** because of the substantial fabric that has body and weight, and the complex print with&nbsp;many colors, which makes a&nbsp;fabric more expensive to produce.&nbsp; I know it is expensive&nbsp;for you, but I do feel that it gives value for the money.&nbsp;&nbsp; I love it with all the toppers.&nbsp; I think it looks dressy as is, with bare arms, &nbsp;and dresses down beautifully with your jackets or denim vest.&nbsp; I think it will really be useful to you!<br /><br />I totally agree with Angie about dressy little slippers to wear with it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934299 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:33:16 +0000 fern 934299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely! you look amazing in this dress -<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934292 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:25:54 +0000 Astrid 934292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Suz! Oh, I'd love a garden party...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934279 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:08:26 +0000 Suz 934279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b>GORGEOUS!!!</b> You are truly a vision in this dress. I want to go to a garden party with you right now. This is killer perfect for you, Astrid. <b>KEEP!!!!</b> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934238 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:34:02 +0000 Astrid 934238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Donna! I agree, the pattern is fantastic. I am by no means a fan of any floral, but I really like this one.<br /><br />Thanks Shannon! ;)<br /><br />Bella, it's from Hallhuber.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934235 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:29:44 +0000 bella 934235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I want this dress. Where is it from?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934222 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:18:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 934222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES (you get the idea...) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934215 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:09:58 +0000 DonnaF 934215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That floral print is truly stunning, probably the best I have seen EVER, and the dress has excellent pattern placement.&nbsp; Too often, florals can look like upholstery IYKWIM or be too big or somehow *off* like maybe too much white between the flowers or have a few *wrong* colors.&nbsp; This one isn't like that -- which may be why the dress is so expensive!&nbsp; I don't normally wax on about a print, but I like this even more than polka dots which is saying a lot coming from me.<br /><br />Oh, and your green jacket is my favorite with it, but the others work as well.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934206 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:01:58 +0000 Astrid 934206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks missvee! I'll have to see about the flats. I probably need to wait until June, my May budget is pretty much exhausted.<br /><br />Thanks Una! It's Hallhuber. <br /><br />Thanks Rachylou! And seriously, it's all the dress. I definitely look slimmer in this than I am. It hides my extra pounds very well.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934204 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:00:54 +0000 rachylou 934204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SERIOUSLY KILLER. Incredibly flattering. Frankly, I did not know you had such a neat, trim figure. This dress is easily dressed down too, if you ask me.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934198 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:57:33 +0000 catgirl 934198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like this even more now! &nbsp;I would tack the pleats down. &nbsp;The floral is just fabulous - it is an Anthro dress or what brand?<br /><br />ETA: &nbsp;Not a fan of white but I can see white shoes with this dress. &nbsp;Almost any color would work (ORANGE!)... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-for-the-wedding---better-pics#post-934196 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:56:59 +0000 missvee 934196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's even more lovely in these pics!! Keep, keep, keep. Can you tell I love this dress on you :-). Both toppers and the the footwear are great too for casual wear. The dressier, colourful flats that Angie suggests would be wonderful. I hope you have a little money left in the budget for those. </p>
