I agree with you about the lace dresses looking dated, and I'm just not seeing confidence radiating from you in the photo so I think they should go back.<br />You could wear dresses like those but I think it might take more of a hair, shoe, makeup change up to make them look fresh.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713764 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 15:05:48 +0000 Makrame 1713764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for the feedback! I also like the long sleeves of #3 for the winter occasion but when I showed the dresses to DH, he liked #2 the most, and did not like the way the hem of #3 looked (a bit ragged). So in the end, I might go with the existing dress (#4) for the winter wedding, and keep #1 for work and #2 for other occasions.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I just need to figure out the hosiery - I think to wear the blue dress with the pewter/nude pumps in the winter, I might have to go with the dreaded nude hose. Not sure if there are other options (and black pumps, which would work with black hose, usually look a bit too severe with this dress).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713530 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 00:53:38 +0000 Suz 1713530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 -- gorgeous colour and neckline for you. I also really love the David Meister that you already own.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713526 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 00:50:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1713526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the purple in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713523 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 00:49:05 +0000 Liz A. 1713523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favorite for you. &nbsp;I love lace dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713493 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 23:31:12 +0000 marianna 1713493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3 - the long sleeves are so pretty for a winter wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713489 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 23:14:47 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1713489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress you already have best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713473 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 22:40:41 +0000 Janet 1713473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I like the fit of # 1 but I wish it had the color and neckline of #2 because those are spectacular on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713472 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 22:40:40 +0000 Angie 1713472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>December wedding - #3 all the way.

It looks great on you! Perfect because it can be dressed up or down depending how you wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713458 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 21:58:24 +0000 Anonymous 1713458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like number one the best, followed by number four that's already yours. I think the seam on the front of one is why I like it better than two or three. Helps with the proportion to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713456 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 21:57:01 +0000 cobaltblue 1713456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1!

It fits you well and is flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713454 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 21:50:13 +0000 Anonymous 1713454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the first dress, both with and without the jacket.&nbsp; It fits you to perfection, and you look great in that color.</p> <p>I rarely like lace dresses, so I won't comment on those.&nbsp; They just don't seem very modern to my eye, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/special-occasion-dresses---kr#post-1713451 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 21:36:10 +0000 Makrame 1713451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found three dresses on sale (one was a NAS item, the other on sale at Nordstrom, and the third on sale at Saks Off Fifth). I was looking for something to wear to a December wedding but I do have a fallback for that - a blue David Meister dress (#4). So I don't have to keep any of these if they are not great. I think the dark purple dress (#1, shown alone and with the NAS VC blazer), could also work for business-type functions (conferences etc.). I liked the idea of lace dresses but found that once I tried them on and took photos, they seemed a bit outdated. What are your thoughts? </p>
