It would be very pretty on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-choosing-a-bratique-helene-dress-colour#post-68052 Thu, 28 May 2009 11:00:30 +0000 Kristen 68052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the website on my laptop (which doesn't always get the colors right), the pink looks like a salmon more than fuschia. The navy seems to have some teal-ish tones to it rather than the darker traditional navy. I would think the navy would be better for your complexion; that salmon-y pink can be very tricky!</p> <p>Navy is a great neutral and goes with everything; I think you would look great in it and like it very much. I have been finding lots of great navy pieces lately. </p> <p>The style is a shirtdress, so the neckline is similar to a button-down shirt. This one starts as a vee, meaning the buttons don't start until further down the chest. It's very pretty. The skirt is a-line, and on the model the hem mid-point on the knee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-choosing-a-bratique-helene-dress-colour#post-68042 Thu, 28 May 2009 10:00:51 +0000 Michelle 68042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I've been in touch with Carissa from Bratique Helene and am going to give the blue wrap top a try. Sadly they're all out of the teal shell in everything but the smallest size (sniff)! Carissa was suggesting I try the dress, and I wanted some feedback from you before I do this. The dresses are quite pricy at US$125 a piece and I want to make sure it's really worth it before I drop that kind of cash.</p> <p>There's one style available in two different colours:<br /> 1. Navy: <a href="http://www.bratiquehelene.com/catalog/dresses-shirtwaist-dress-navy-p-39.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bratiquehelene.com/.....-p-39.html</a><br /> 2. Candy pink: <a href="http://www.bratiquehelene.com/catalog/dresses-shirtwaist-dress-candy-pink-p-42.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bratiquehelene.com/.....-p-42.html</a></p> <p>I'm sort of leaning towards navy if I get one of these, but want your input on whether you think that's the right choice. Is it a pale or dark shade of pink? If it's a darker, more fuchsia-esque pink, then perhaps I'd go that route instead. I don't actually wear a lot of navy, though, so perhaps this is a colour I should introduce? I know it's practical, but I always have trouble knowing what shoes to put with it. Stupid, as I have tons of appropriate jewelry.</p> <p>I also wouldn't mind knowing a bit more about the style. What's the neckline like, and what kind of skirt length are we looking at here? Also, for those who have BH products, what kind of fabric does Carissa use?</p> <p>Thanks all </p>
