FOR SURE. I haven’t looked at anyone else's comments. Did anyone else love it best too? I actually liked the purple dress the least just like you. Oh no! Steve shan’t be pleased with me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51176 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 23:23:10 +0000 Eva 51176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, we didn't make it easier. My vote is for the black dress with the belt, but I also like the ribbon. I wonder what the belt would look like on the OUTSIDE of the cardigan? You might see what that looks like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51169 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 22:46:11 +0000 shell 51169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm...i'll have to think about the cover-up situation. i do have a green cardi that might look cute. or perhaps a deep plum cardi? these two cardis that i have are a bit shorter than the others, so they might just work without looking dowdy. i was thinking a cropped cardi would look best, but i only have tomato red and black. the black didn't look bad, but the fit is off - it's a bit baggy.</p> <p>the other problem is that i'll have to hem it. i actually made that dress (it's the "infinity dress" that i think sarah posted about awhile back) and have been lazy about hemming it. it might just be worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51156 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:52:37 +0000 bella 51156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for print dress/gray bow. But I am with Lucy, I want to see the purple dress with a cover-up as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51127 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:33:05 +0000 Lucy 51127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the print dress with the gray bow and second for the black dress with the gray bow. Something about the satin of the bow goes with the satin of the shoes. It doesn't show up as well with the black bow. All the dresses are cute though.<br /> Just to make things more complicated . . . Do you have a cardi or jacket you could wear over the purple dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51122 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:15:46 +0000 shell 51122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh no! you're not making this decision any easier! </p> <p>i'm a bit torn - i liked the black dress since it's simpler and showcases the shoes a bit more, as Kendra mentioned. however, the seam between where the skirt starts and the top part ends is a couple inches lower than i'd like it to be. it looks fine with the sweater, but by itself, it looks funny. so, i'd basically have to wear the sweater the whole time. i'd try to take a picture to show the black dress on its own, but black doesn't photograph well, so you would really be able to see what i mean...</p> <p>so, i think this is the root of my dilemma... i like the fit of the print dress, but the print competes slightly with the shoes. i like the color/simpleness of the black dress, but the fit isn't my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51082 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:10:27 +0000 Tanya 51082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the print dress, both belts look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51074 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:41:42 +0000 Laura 51074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer you in the print dress, I love the shoes!, and either the black or grey belt looks fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51069 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:30:34 +0000 Lee Hovey 51069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Alecia and June. I prefer the black dress with pink shoes and cardi, and put your hair up.</p> <p>I love how the black is simple enough to really draw your eye to how the sweater and the shoes play off each other, then with the spot of black on the shoes it ties the dress back in. That outfit drew me right to the shoes and I thought WOW I love those shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51065 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:22:42 +0000 Alecia 51065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell - I like the third dress the best, but I'm thinking the black dress with the ribbon might be most appropriate for the occasion. I also think wearing your hair up would help make the look a little more formal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51048 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:19:30 +0000 shiny 51048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's taken me a long time to get used to the new rule that it's okay to wear black to a wedding, but I'm there now. Hee hee. </p> <p>I really love the black dress with the gray ribbon belt. So pretty!!! And the pink shoes/pink cardi looks so lovely. </p> <p>The last dress is good too, but it's not as dressy - more like what you might wear to work? But I think that would be okay for a less formal afternoon wedding. </p> <p>The purple dress is quite lovely too... I can see why Steve likes it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51046 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:03:48 +0000 June 51046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the black dress/gray ribbon belt/pink cardigan and shoes combination. I think it's the "dressiest" of the three options, probably because of the satin ribbon belt and shoes. Looks really lovely on you. I'd copy that in a heartbeat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51031 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:05:41 +0000 marianne 51031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the print one, very pretty! Sorry I can't decide if gray belt is better than the black, I went back and forth a few times. Black with gray belt is my second, and purple the third (I see what you mean about high maintenance). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dresses-for-wedding-not-wedding-dresses-#post-51029 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 05:52:01 +0000 shell 51029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so, i have a wedding to go to this weekend, and i have a few possible choices. </p> <p>Would love to hear your thoughts... </p> <p><a href="http://elleoftheball.blogspot.com/2009/02/dresses-for-wedding.html" rel="nofollow">http://elleoftheball.blogspot......dding.html</a></p> <p>Steve liked the purple dress the best, but that's actually my least favorite.</p> <p>I'm leaning toward the last one, assuming the clinginess of the skirt can be abolished with the static cling spray. </p>
