As ever, once I get going and start trying things it gets easier. Funny how when it feels like a new area of shopping I lose my confidence and really appreciate the major hand holding.</p> <p>And thanks San - it was fun to dress up and fun to wear a hat, although it spent most of the time on other people's heads, courtesy of DS6! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343329 Mon, 02 May 2011 20:42:14 +0000 san 343329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your evening gown is just beautiful. I like all of the shrugs you found and would not be able to choose the best one but it looks like Angie has given you advice on them.</p> <p>Your red white and blue outfit is beautiful and I love the hat on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343313 Mon, 02 May 2011 19:57:09 +0000 RoseandJoan 343313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Betty Jackson one, if you have a brooch to hand you could also use it to fasten your bolero. Are you feeling less daunted by the shopping now Polly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343228 Mon, 02 May 2011 17:28:24 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 343228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very helpful! I've now played in the dress. It's fine and feels 'safe', even strapless, although I would feel quite exposed like that. But so glad Angie and Julie insisted I did that. The section of material at the front has to be moved to one side when I play (and then it's fine) or it would really fidget me. Not something I'd have liked to have discovered in front of an audience!</p> <p>I think I'll avoid sequins because of the comfort factor but could do pearls. The lace one I found initially is out of stock unfortunately in my size but I'll keep my eyes open.</p> <p>So a vote for everything except the Phase 8 one. V helpful. Time to do some trying now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343128 Mon, 02 May 2011 15:29:58 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 343128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the silver one. The shape appeals to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343107 Mon, 02 May 2011 15:05:39 +0000 Angie 343107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Monsoon and Betty Jackson. The lace was lovely too!</p> <p>Sequins will probably run when you play piano </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343061 Mon, 02 May 2011 13:29:46 +0000 modgrl 343061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a black sparkly shrug? That would be pretty. Also, a short, small gauge pearl necklace would be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343052 Mon, 02 May 2011 13:17:22 +0000 Queen Mum 343052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the one you have is fine, and I also like the rocha shrug... as long as the taupe doesn't dress your outfit down too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evening-gowns-shrugs#post-343048 Mon, 02 May 2011 13:12:07 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 343048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pictured is the dress I will most likely be wearing for a recital at the end of the month (I still haven't managed to play in it, but I will!). I will need something to cover up to make me comfortable. I have a black shrug, pictured in #2 but am also looking at metallic ones - are any of them more/less likely to work? As I may have to buy two sizes to try (they're only available online) I would like to narrow it down a bit.</p> <p>Monsoon shrug: <a href="http://www.monsoon.co.uk/lindsey-lurex-silver-shrug/invt/73212509/" rel="nofollow">http://www.monsoon.co.uk/linds...../73212509/</a></p> <p>Rocha: <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_120010402187_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Women~Knitwear" rel="nofollow">http://www.debenhams.com/webap.....n~Knitwear</a></p> <p>Phase 8: <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_54510+401039065_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Women~Knitwear" rel="nofollow">http://www.debenhams.com/webap.....n~Knitwear</a></p> <p>Betty Jackson: <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_110010420906_-1?breadcrumb=Home~Women~Knitwear" rel="nofollow">http://www.debenhams.com/webap.....n~Knitwear</a></p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>Bonus pic of me dressed in red/white/blue for our street party for the Royal Wedding.
