That being said, the slip + jacket looks fab to me! Especially if it helps the clothes become a non-issue so you can enjoy the party </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131617 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:03:34 +0000 gryffin 1131617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana - I like this!!&nbsp; First I don't do chest exposure personally.&nbsp; I think the slip looks sharp and I like it with or without the jacket.&nbsp; You could also look for a gold, pale or even black lace edged cami.&nbsp; That would give you a very sirenesque (not that that's a word) 1940's old time glam look.&nbsp; Kind of like a lace cami under a business suit (a total fav or mine).&nbsp; Just a thought but I think you look lovely, elegant, sexy but modest!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131583 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:38:49 +0000 Diana 1131583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all.&nbsp; I think I am going to wear the version with the black slip and the jacket.&nbsp; I don't love it without the jacket but I do like it a lot better with the jacket.&nbsp; It will prevent me from freezing too!&nbsp; (I am planning on wearing boots to get to the party in, then I will change shoes at J's office, which is across the street.)&nbsp; </p> <p>Lyn, the slip is basically like a long tube, so I could definitely adjust it up or down a bit.&nbsp; I wasn't very careful about that when I tried it on.&nbsp; I have to admit that I like it a bit higher because this way it covers ALL of the cleavage.&nbsp; (And I am a C cup!&nbsp; I have such respect for the cleavage challenges large-breasted ladies must have!)</p> <p>So re: nude or gold camis.&nbsp; I have never found a nude cami that is <i>actually nude</i> on me.&nbsp; They are all too light and/or cool toned.&nbsp; Although nude hose has come a long way in terms of ethnic skin colors, other "nude" items have not!&nbsp; Similarly, for gold, the color of the dress is a very difficult gold to match.&nbsp; It's kind of an old gold/slightly bronze tone with texture.&nbsp; Most gold items are too pale and shiny and look odd with it.&nbsp; That is why I am not using my gold clutch. </p> <p>Anyway, so I think I am stuck with black or a color.&nbsp; Black lace or black with sparkly trim might be something to look into for the future.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131458 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:13:44 +0000 lyn67 1131458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have a phobia with deep neckline for me, but for you I don't see a great issue for wearing a cami. It looks feminine and sexy without!:-) Then, you can also wear the black cami, too-but I have the same issues when comming to not exactly the right camis underneath a dressy neckline-afraid to mess up with it. It has to be a great and very fine&nbsp;finish on it's visible neckline underneath of the dress's. Then, for the optimal&nbsp;aesthetic under a black jacket&nbsp;I would preffer one slightly lower cut. You can achieve it by pulling the cami a bit down or, if&nbsp; it has adjustable straps, just let them a bit longer. A shiny(satin)or sequined top cami would be even dressier to peek out-depends on&nbsp; the dressiness factor you would like to achive. </p> <p>Came back to say, I like the burgundy ruffled cami under it, too. Fab if wearing color coorinated shoes or clutch&nbsp;with it:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131436 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:54:19 +0000 Liz A. 1131436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a cami that comes a bit lower?&nbsp; That is a large expanse of black at the neckline?&nbsp; I think I would really prefer a nude or gold cami with this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131287 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:44:14 +0000 chadya 1131287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that if you need to wear a camisole the neckline is too low for a work/profession situation.&nbsp; The black one doesn't look right with the color of the dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131186 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:46:16 +0000 rae 1131186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have zero issues with the black cami. The dressy is sparkly, so I don't think it makes it too casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131086 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:50:19 +0000 unfrumped 1131086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm liking the jacket&amp; cami combo, and also together with the gold the look seems really good for festive- office. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131079 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:41:26 +0000 Suz 1131079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the black! With your hair and footwear it seems intentional to me. And more comfortable for this party than going without.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress/page/2#post-1131069 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:25:47 +0000 Angie 1131069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the version with the jacket too. All good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131064 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:21:40 +0000 Thistle 1131064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it just fine with the black cami. I see no issue at all. I also like the red one you posted, but not as much as the black, especially with your hair and black heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131060 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:19:31 +0000 lyn* 1131060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot more with the jacket, like you said, it looks more intentional!</p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131058 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:18:09 +0000 catgirl 1131058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay with the jacket it looks a lot more integrated and intentional! I think a gold lace cami like the red one would be divine, but with the jacket I am much happier.</p> <p>Of course, Angie has ruled already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131056 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:16:02 +0000 Diana 1131056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, added a couple more photos up top. Una, I tried it with my red burnout cami. &nbsp;The pattern is a velvet burnout so it's a little dressier fabric, and it will match my red clutch.<br />I also took a photo with the black jacket. &nbsp;Does it look more deliberate now? I could definitely keep the jacket on all night. &nbsp;It is winter after all. &nbsp;In a hotel ballroom, so I don't think it will be too roasting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131049 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:09:38 +0000 Angie 1131049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the black cami. My thumbs are up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131045 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:02:45 +0000 catgirl 1131045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>F21 has cheap camis with straight necklines in every color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131044 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 03:01:28 +0000 Diana 1131044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, Una, I don't think I have a nude cami with the right neckline. &nbsp;It has to be something with a straight across neckline. &nbsp;I might be able to do a color. &nbsp;Will see what I have. &nbsp;</p> <p>Would you guys think the black bandeau would look more intentional with a black jacket? &nbsp;I will have it with me anyway.&nbsp; I could probably get away with wearing the black jacket all night if I wanted to. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1131014 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:43:20 +0000 catgirl 1131014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have major cleavage phobia for myself but I love this dress on you as is... Could you do a nude cami? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130949 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:52:36 +0000 carambola 1130949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the bandeau slip works with your hair and the black shoes. Although it does casualize the dress a tad, it is still a gold cocktail dress, so I think that's ok. It looks lovely and perfectly appropriate for an office shindig. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130948 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:51:58 +0000 elpgal 1130948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you inclined to experiment with necklaces that lie above the cami? That might give the eye a sparkly landing spot that is not the skin/cami/dress interface. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130927 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:20:21 +0000 Diana 1130927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I know about the underwear problem. &nbsp;My normal underwear is really low rise, but&nbsp;I have several seamless, high waisted pairs for situations like this. &nbsp; And good point about the downward male perspective! &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I am still undecided, so please keep the opinions coming! &nbsp;I do see where those of you who think it looks unintentional are coming from.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130926 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:15:05 +0000 lyn* 1130926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if it makes you feel more comfortable, it's okay; I do agree it is kind of dissonant between the formality of the cocktail dress, but I do hear you on the uncomfortable boobage issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130919 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:08:25 +0000 elpgal 1130919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the same as Unfrumped. Not that the dress looks bad just dissonant to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130897 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:46:00 +0000 Kristin L 1130897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would the black bandeau make you feel more comfortable? I think it would be better if it was sparkly or lacy, but the one you have should work just fine. I think the red clutch looks great with the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130892 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:41:09 +0000 CocoLion 1130892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the bandeau slip is a good idea and don't think it ruins the look of the dress. &nbsp;Since most men are taller than us women, one does need to think about the downward perspective! &nbsp;You don't want to make DH uncomfortable in that way.</p> <p>So I like the slip. &nbsp;But, I hope this doesn't sound too picky, but do you have a different pair of underwear or perhaps a pair of high waisted panty hose. &nbsp;I can see the bikini waistline (it could just be the lighting though, but I thought I'd point it out just in case). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130883 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:30:46 +0000 unfrumped 1130883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. If you look at it at some point maybe it becomes just background and probably nobody is a super fashion critic, anyway.<br />But, i would not normally do this to a gold dress though because I think it then becomes, why wear the gold dress with the special neckline at all? I can certainly see how you might want the more conservative neckline for the office party. I like the intentional black dress better as an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130863 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:07:32 +0000 Diana 1130863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, tried it on with the bandeau slip and added pictures up above, along with another one without the slip. &nbsp;I would love your opinions on it. </p> <p></p> <p>I like the idea of lace or something sparkly in the future, but I really don't have time or inclination to shop this week and the party is on Friday.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130692 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 21:30:09 +0000 Dana 1130692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of black lace. You could also do one of those clip on lace pieces--they attach to your bra straps. You can find them at places like Steinmart, etc. I love your dress...very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130661 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 21:08:35 +0000 ramya 1130661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a culture thing I think with me that I don't find revealing necklines comfortable. I always layer a cami. It may be lace or sparkly stuff depending on the dress. But they are there;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visible-cami-in-the-neckline-of-a-cocktail-dress#post-1130637 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:47:38 +0000 annagybe 1130637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it might work considering you are wearing black shoes. </p>
