I hadn't even considered the jacket option. Or maybe I was just so WOWed by the dress on you that I couldn't think straight! But of course, you are absolutely right; if you cover it up a bit with a jacket and opaque hose, you should certainly be able to wear it to a funeral. You could even add a scarf to cover the distinctive neckline if you wished. I am certain this could work. As could your other suggestions. I can't wait to see how you style it! It's really spectacular on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came/page/2#post-377594 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 00:52:36 +0000 Janet 377594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is perfect on you!

Perfection! But, I do think it's too sexy - albeit a very elegant sexy - to function as a funeral dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377538 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:02:34 +0000 Jjsloane 377538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and even better ON you. Nice choice. You'll get tons of use out of it! You can accessorize with evening bag, shoes, rings or bracelets and huge earrings, maybe some sparkly pins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377533 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 22:53:43 +0000 Ornella 377533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beauty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377506 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 21:47:08 +0000 Irene 377506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377486 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 21:20:29 +0000 Mo 377486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, good points Suz and Deb. I was thinking of 3 or 4 functions. Funeral was one of them - with an understated long jacket over the top and opaque hose. Then of course was the dress/date night option with heels and some sparkly jewelry. I also thought funky, with maybe a slight military vibe, for out to hear music, etc. And lastly, dressy casual with a colored cardi or denim jacket over it and flats.<br /> Is it off limits for funeral even with say, a long wool coat or trench on top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377485 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 21:18:26 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 377485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377482 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 21:16:04 +0000 Louise 377482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beauty x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377475 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:41:20 +0000 Debora 377475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Mo! You are breathtaking in this dress! It's one of my all-time YLF favorites! I would like to see it styled with a killer statement bracelet and heels and let the neckline be the star.</p> <p>I think this makes a killer cocktail dress. I could see you wearing it for cocktails, out to dinner at a fancy restaurant with your SO, or maybe to a nighttime wedding. I'm not so sure I would wear it for a funeral, though. I have a feeling that all eyes will be on you EVERY single time you wear this dress!</p> <p>ETA: Suz, we posted at the same time, but you said it so much better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377474 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:33:12 +0000 Suz 377474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress, and gorgeous on you! </p> <p>I personally think there are (at least) TWO kinds of LBD. </p> <p>One is the kind whose main purpose is versatility. For that, it needs to be a fairly simple cut. Something that fades into the background. </p> <p>And then there is the LBD whose main purpose is to make you look understatedly sexy. The kind of dress you can put on if you are going out for the evening and just KNOW you want to shine, without shouting, "Hey, over here! Look at me!!!" </p> <p>THAT is the kind that this dress is. It isn't as versatile as dress #1. Yes, you can change the look a little bit with shoes/sandals and other accessories. But essentially, this is an evening or cocktail dress that just makes you look fabulous. Everybody needs a dress like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377469 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:15:05 +0000 sarah 377469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377467 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:13:27 +0000 Mo 377467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good points, Kate. I wonder if being slightly sheer will make the mesh play better with necklaces. I do have several chokers if the mesh ends up competing. I'm not much of a belter in general, but will try a few looks out. Seeing as I never had a little black dress besides one hastily bought for a funeral, I've never had the opportuntiy to try out its versatility, so even 3 looks would have me WAY ahead of the game here lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377463 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:09:36 +0000 Kate 377463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's wonderful!</p> <p>My only concern, as someone with an LBD with a rather large shoulder ruffle, is that it won't be as versatile as the ideal LBD. I'm afraid that the mesh overlay won't look right with necklaces or belts. If you need it to be styles multiple ways, be sure to make sure that those all work before you cut the tags. My LBD can do belts ok, but has limited layering capabilities and necklaces compete for attention with the shoulder ruffle. The result is that it's a lot harder to change its look than I had thought it would be, all thanks to that darn ruffle. </p> <p>I hope I'm wrong and that yours can be styled an infinite number of ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377462 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:08:23 +0000 yellowgirl 377462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!!! It's gorgeous on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-lbd-came#post-377460 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:01:19 +0000 Mo 377460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could just hug you gals! Thank you so much. Una, I really do feel like this is 'the one'. Dianthus, you're right - how lucky to have a mail delivery item turn out to be so much more than I could have hoped.<br /> Now my homework this week is to try to style it in various ways so I get the wear out of it that it deserves!! </p>
