The purple is pretty but has a little less " presence".<br /> Agree about dressing for photo opp's along eith being comfortable enough. You likely know what kind of color/ contrast and neckline look best for that. Don't know if you can do this, but it'd be great if you could get your favorite 2-3 to try on at the same time. Often the winner will emerge re: fit ( issues that don't tailor well, for<br /> example) and how the fabric behaves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248996 Mon, 12 May 2014 01:05:45 +0000 Kristin L 1248996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it seems like the Fizz one is almost everyone's favorite. Thanks everyone for the advice and picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248944 Mon, 12 May 2014 00:00:30 +0000 Anonymous 1248944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yet another vote for the Fizz dress.<br /> For her rehearsal dinner, my DDIL wore a bright yellow dress in a sort of geometric eyelet fabric. She stood out in the bright color and looked beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248927 Sun, 11 May 2014 23:32:46 +0000 Echo 1248927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for the fizz, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248925 Sun, 11 May 2014 23:30:13 +0000 Zibbets 1248925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another for Fizz!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you can wear whatever you want, but remember that&nbsp;there will be pictures and you and your groom are the stars of the show. I wore a beautiful, navy Brooks Brothers dress to my rehearsal dinner. I felt and looked pretty fab, I think, but in&nbsp;all the pictures, the person who stands out is my beloved friend in her bright red dress. Not a huge deal, but I wished I'd worn a more standout dress.</p> <p>Best wishes! When is the wedding? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248921 Sun, 11 May 2014 23:20:57 +0000 carter 1248921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more vote for Fizz. Second favorite is the navy and ivory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248803 Sun, 11 May 2014 20:33:51 +0000 greenglove 1248803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fizz dress- so playful and festive. The others are nice but not quite as original. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248802 Sun, 11 May 2014 20:33:20 +0000 E 1248802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for fizz! And the navy &amp; cream one in second.</p> <p>My sister just got married in December, and one thing I'd point out is that for most of the rehearsal dinner people will see you from the waist up. So if you want the touch of cream/white to be visible the whole time, that's something to think about. Do you know where the dinner will be held? That will affect how formal/informal you want to look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248790 Sun, 11 May 2014 20:23:34 +0000 Joyce B 1248790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both dresses, you can't go wrong with either and of course I am not helping here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248775 Sun, 11 May 2014 20:00:55 +0000 dustt 1248775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>navy and ivory is my first choice!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248753 Sun, 11 May 2014 19:20:52 +0000 Windchime 1248753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first choice for you is also the fizz, followed by the navy and cream. All eyes will be on you, and both dresses have something extra special, and even a bit bridal, about them.<br /> Your query made me think back to my wedding. I wore the same dress for a bridal shower and the rehearsal dinner--soft blue with lace trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248752 Sun, 11 May 2014 19:18:01 +0000 rute 1248752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love no. 4, so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248750 Sun, 11 May 2014 19:17:46 +0000 JAileen 1248750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fizz and also the navy and ivory. It's your party so whatever you wear is right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248744 Sun, 11 May 2014 18:38:29 +0000 Anonymous 1248744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think any of those dresses would be great! The fizz one seems so appropriate, with the champagne bubbles and the tuxedo-like belt, and the pattern on the purple one is gorgeous, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.</p> <p>And I've never heard of white rehearsal dinner dresses as a "thing." It seems like just looking for a dress you love in whatever color like you're doing&nbsp;makes way more sense and is way more fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248740 Sun, 11 May 2014 18:30:41 +0000 lyn* 1248740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course!

Thank you so much for the offer. If it's ok, let me think abut it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks missvie and Susie!</p> <p>I like how you think Laurinda. A color cardi would be fun and both would remind me of that night.&nbsp;I'll already have a couple of colorful cardis, but I'm always on the lookout for another colorful one. :)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248729 Sun, 11 May 2014 18:08:33 +0000 Laurinda 1248729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sugar eye for Ms Fizz. The color is formal, and the print is festive. If you get a pretty colored topper (cardi or shrug? are they still in?) you would have two pieces to wear again and bring back fond memories.</p> <p>What matters most is ease and flattery for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248722 Sun, 11 May 2014 18:02:14 +0000 Susie 1248722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all lovely but the last one is my favorite for the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248716 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:53:46 +0000 missvee 1248716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fizz best ( looks very festive), followed by the navy and cream one.<br /> I think both would be useful afterwards too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248715 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:50:51 +0000 lyn* 1248715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you a size medium? I could send you mine to borrow I haven't worn it. </p> <p><i>SERIOUSLY.

A little dressier, but not so dressy they can't ever be made casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248712 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:45:51 +0000 Kristin L 1248712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions lyn! It looks like the first one is only available in 2x and 3x now. Which is shame because it's be awesome. The only thing that worries about #2 is how light it is. I wonder if I can get it in a slightly darker color.</p> <p>I have a couple of dresses with a high neckline like the first 2&nbsp;have. Knock on wood, I haven't had any problems with them, but I'd definitely make sure the dress was returnable just in case&nbsp;it didn't work for me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248705 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:36:09 +0000 Suz 1248705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all pretty and feminine dresses. I really like the last one for the rehearsal dinner. The purply patterned one is also nice, and so is the navy and ivory.&nbsp;</p> <p>How do you feel about that neckline? I like it for myself but I lack upper body curves and have a long neck, which affects the way it looks. Do you usually prefer a slightly lower neckline?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248704 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:35:59 +0000 lyn* 1248704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fizz dress, and I'm definitely in the wear whatever you want boat ... does your family have thoughts about what you should be wearing?&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think of this dress (1)? I recently bought it in a medium (I think). </p> <p>I love this one (2).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-dresses-for-the-rehearsal-dinner#post-1248701 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:31:24 +0000 Kristin L 1248701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is going to sound silly, but what is the bride suppose to wear to the rehearsal dinner? I'm heavily leaning towards whatever I want, but I've been seeing a lot of short white dresses. I would like for my dress to be something I can wear again and not white. I have issues with spilling anything and everything on garments that are 100% white.</p> <p>I've started searching and I've got a little less than 4 months. While that's still a fair amount of time, I'd like to find it sooner than later in case in needs to be altered a touch. These are a few contenders in my mind because they are are fairly modest (i.e. they cover most of my ink) and I think they can be worn again as work/going out dresses after the dinner. I also really want to be comfortable, able to breathe and laugh, and not cringe when I see pictures later. :)</p> <p><u><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/luck-be-a-lady-dress-in-black-and-red">http://www.modcloth.com/shop/d.....ck-and-red</a></u></p> <p><u><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/luck-be-a-lady-dress-in-navy-and-ivory">http://www.modcloth.com/shop/d.....-and-ivory</a></u></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/too-much-fun-dress-in-plum-petunias">http://www.modcloth.com/shop/d.....m-petunias</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/fizz-this-love-dress">http://www.modcloth.com/shop/d.....love-dress</a></p> <p>They are all fit and flairs and are fairly similar.

The fabric looks like it's not as shiny as the Fizz dress.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/promoting-elegance-dress-in-bubbles">http://www.modcloth.com/shop/d.....in-bubbles</a></p>
