The dress is pretty, i'm just not sure it's me. It really takes a certain color scheme for me to pick a floral dress....i think i only have 1 in my closet. I might be leaning towards a solid colored dress for this event? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407394 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:25:20 +0000 catgirl 407394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A bandshell is like a covered outdoor stage shaped like a shell. </p> <p>Is the anthro dress not bright enough? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407393 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:21:39 +0000 nicoleb 407393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresslover - The color of that dress is beeeeeeeeeautiful! But i'm pretty sure i'd be way too dressed up sadly. These are more country folk - i should of added that, sorry!</p> <p>Mo - Good to know thanks! Even if i don't find a dress for the wedding from them i'll add them to my fav. sellers list. Those prices are insane!</p> <p>Rae - I *think* the ceremony is outdoors? It says "Lake Park Bandshell". I'm not really sure what a bandshell is but i feel like the couple told me outside for the wedding, inside for reception. It'll be like...dressy...but not cocktail. I'm usually a size 4 and sometimes 6. I like the first dress you posted! I could edge it up with some accessories but i might be too cold...not sure. :(</p> <p>Una - Best colors are anything jewel toned. ;)</p> <p>Thanks for all the suggestions so far ladies! I have to bit so i'm probably going to be a bit picky about this (hopefully that's ok lol) but it really helps to see what's out there that i'm not aware of! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407286 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:02:09 +0000 catgirl 407286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because I adore this and it seems suited for a pear shape...</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20879888&#038;catId=SHOPSALE-DRESSES2&#038;pushId=SHOPSALE-DRESSES2&#038;popId=SHOPSALE&#038;navCount=12&#038;color=059&#038;isProduct=true&#038;fromCategoryPage=true&#038;templateType=D" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....lateType=D</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407283 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:00:45 +0000 catgirl 407283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are your best colors, Nicole? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407277 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:49:37 +0000 rae 407277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, is the event indoors?

I got my LBD, my silk Suzi Chin, and my purple wrap dress through them and everything was intact and NWT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407272 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:36:04 +0000 Mo 407272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe not specifically wedding appropriate but I could see you in this: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Intrigue-NEW-Black-Cocktail-Dress-BHFO-Sale-6-/370535281692?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Intrigue-N.....WC_Dresses</a><br /> I like this for the color for the season but don't know if it's too stodgy for your spunky young style <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Suzi-Chin-NEW-Maggy-Boutique-Purple-Cocktail-Dress-4-/290600414164?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Suzi-Chin-.....WC_Dresses</a></p> <p>I feel like you're my paper doll and I'm playing dress up with you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407269 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:13:24 +0000 chewyspaghetti 407269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any specific dress to suggest, but here is what I wore for a January wedding in So. Cal (similar weather) I hope it helps give you some ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407267 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:53:43 +0000 DressLover 407267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I love this dress to pieces. It think this would suit your occasion and style very well. The bottom may be slightly more fitted than you prefer, but I think you can rock it. Sizes come and go on a daily basis, so if you are interested check for a few mornings and I am sure your size will pop up.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/maggy-london-side-bow-stretch-satin-sheath-dress/3171836?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=228" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ma.....ltback=228</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407265 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:37:50 +0000 nicoleb 407265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mo!

They have hundreds of designer dresses and my last three dress purchases were from them - all fabulous!</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/390325678809?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&#038;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/390325.....1439.l2648</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/needed-dress-of-an-october-wedding#post-407253 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:21:44 +0000 nicoleb 407253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fall weddings always perplex me when it comes with figuring out what to wear. It's so much easier to dress for summer weddings, imo. If you have some extra time or are just browsing around and you see a dress that would work for me would you be so kind as to bring it to my attention? I'll love you forever. &lt;3</p> <p>About the wedding:</p> <p>Wedding is Oct. 1st in MN. I *think* the temps are usually mid to low 60s? MN girls feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. </p> <p>It's a young peoples wedding. Majority age group are 20 somethings. No religious affliation and not held in a church. </p> <p>About me:</p> <p>I love edgy mixed with girly/cute. I love unique and/or unexpected details. I like to stand out a bit. ;)</p> <p>I'm looking for something in a darker color palette. My skin has a cool undertone so i tend to gravitate towards colors that suit it. </p> <p>I"m a pear shape thus i feel most comfortable in a bottom that flares out. </p> <p>I"m kind of cheap so i'm trying to keep it under $100. ;)</p> <p>I think that's it. Thanks so much in advance to anyone who helps out. I will continue my search and post here with any finds to get your amazing opinions. </p>
