Back to search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1500074 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 14:18:30 +0000 lyn67 1500074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is a great potential if worn with the right bra, and steamed (but warning, light viscose make wrinkles easy). Hope it will smooth out on the bodice, but taking up the shoulders a bit(or shortening the bodice) is not that a big deal, either. It's &nbsp;a gorgeous color on you, and the quirky cut fits you!:-) I would wear with a gold sandal, or some tan pumps, but not white, for a matter. Think, black strapy would be &nbsp;also good, but than add a black clutch to it for the balancing out the color scheme! Can't wait to see it styled! </p> <p>ETA: I see I was too late with my shoe options:-). The best of all would be blue, of course, you find is so fab!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1499731 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 22:55:20 +0000 Anonymous 1499731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking you got the fantastic shoes?

Let's see them with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1499082 Sun, 31 May 2015 13:54:29 +0000 Angie 1499082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh.

I LOVE the color and like the bodice/bust fit much better than the earlier dress. With a little tweaking and a different bra I think it will be a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498965 Sun, 31 May 2015 04:24:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1498965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes you found are fantastic, Anna.

If the side view of them on works with the dress you are "golden". And I think the day will be more fun if the heels aren't at your limit. Fingers crossed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498932 Sun, 31 May 2015 03:16:31 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1498932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa, those shoes are awesome!

I really like them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498926 Sun, 31 May 2015 02:58:03 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1498926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love this dress on you! The color is wonderful with your coloring, and I think that the interesting hemline is so perfect for your strong fashion sensibilities! I couldn't imagine you in some boring plain ole dress. You had to have something with a strong fashionable snap! As for shoes, I don't feel qualified to help out, as that is your strong suit... but my own personal opinion is my standard fall back - nude ankle strap pumps. Something that elongates and disappears and lets the dress do the talking... And bookends your hair. But honestly, that is probably just my own preference and comfort zone, not so much what is perfect for YOU. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498922 Sun, 31 May 2015 02:45:26 +0000 Jaime 1498922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am a bad influence - I love the Laurence Dacade ones for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498905 Sun, 31 May 2015 02:00:37 +0000 Momo 1498905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is really pretty.

The IRL dress surprised me. I didn't know the skirt, from the original pic, was so sheer and floaty and crushy. I admit that sets me on my back feet and daunts me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498385 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:19:59 +0000 Diana 1498385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh!&nbsp; What about these?!?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498375 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:13:08 +0000 Diana 1498375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about something in a crazy floral or wackadoodle print?&nbsp; Shoes would not be so obtrusive as a whole floral dress, right?&nbsp; The Ted Bakers I linked might work but they don't really have blue in the pattern.</p> <p>You probably don't want to spend &gt;1K on rockstuds, but these multicolor block heel ones would be AWESOME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498364 Fri, 29 May 2015 19:52:21 +0000 annagybe 1498364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bride really likes the color.<br />So, now onto shoes. The buckle is gold. I have a pair of off-white/bone wedges but somehow I don't think they'll work. I'll try them anyways.<br />I have heeled black gladiator sandals, old LD Tuttle, they might work, but also might be heavy looking.<br />I don't think a cork or light soled shoe would work, nor espadrilles. &nbsp;It just doesn't seem to go. Need something not too pretty or precious, but also not too aggressive. Tough line to tow.<br />I do have to be careful as to not get too high a wedge as they can be unstable too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2/page/2#post-1498170 Fri, 29 May 2015 14:56:38 +0000 Jules 1498170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see this all done up! I know you will have many footwear options in your closet, but I'm trying to remember the colour of the rockport snakeskin pumps (+ clutch?) you showed us a few years back. Whatever you choose I have no doubt this will make a stunning maid's outfit. <br />I think bridesmaid shopping is always a frustrating chore - so many compromises and considerations - but in the end you will look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498166 Fri, 29 May 2015 14:43:15 +0000 Anonymous 1498166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, you can definitely work with this one. I love the color on you and I think the column of color thing is really working for you. I have a terrible visual imagination and the slippers and bra are not helping so I can't say for sure if I think there are any alterations that would improve it but it doesn't look too snug anywhere or like you need a larger size.<br />This is really pretty Anna! Good job hanging in and making it happen!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498158 Fri, 29 May 2015 14:09:00 +0000 Angie 1498158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(You make me chuckle with your outside fancy dress slipper shots).</p> <p>YES. I think this is it. It has GREAT potential, Anna. I LOVE the colour on you. With the right bra, the torso is going to smooth out just fine. Flattering neckline and armholes too.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;I *hope* that the dress isn't overly creasy even after it's been steamed. Viscose has that reputation. I am holding thumbs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498124 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:36:59 +0000 Daria 1498124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Certainly looks very promising! Would like to see it steamed and with heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498123 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:36:38 +0000 donnat 1498123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is real potential here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498119 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:31:47 +0000 marianna 1498119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's lovely. Let's see it with the right underpinnings and shoes, but I think this is a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498108 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:13:32 +0000 Elizabeth P 1498108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's hard to give a good opinion until you get it steamed/ironed and with the right undergarments.&nbsp; That will change the look so much.&nbsp; I do question the bodice fit as it is... it does appear a bit long.&nbsp; But that could all change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498102 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:02:30 +0000 missvee 1498102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I think this could be the one. The colour is so wonderful on you and it has such interesting lines. As the others have said, give it a good steaming and try it again with a different bra. Then you'll see if it really needs that minor alteration to the bodice.<br /> I sure hope the bride likes it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maid-of-honor-dress-take-2#post-1498092 Fri, 29 May 2015 11:19:49 +0000 Scarlet 1498092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thought was that the torso looks to be cut too long. Definitely try it with another bra and see if that helps. </p>
