I found some nautical pieces I am fond of on clearance at Macy's, but I am not sure if they are nice enough. How do you all feel about her?</p> <p>I am a fine silver jewelry designer ( I do art clay silver/ sterling and wire wrapping) so I can make a piece to wear, either gold or silver. My pieces are typically simple and understated. </p> <p>Not sure if I want a statement necklace or sterling and white or bright blue pearls. </p> <p>Thoughts?<br /> #3 and 4 are my work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding/page/2#post-937557 Mon, 20 May 2013 23:14:01 +0000 dizzys 937557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see what you are saying. For me the sheath in general&nbsp;is less flattering because of my lack of waste definition/ smaller hips....so its kind of straight down.&nbsp;BUT this one does good things to my tummy area and&nbsp;I like the color/material. I will try it with a proper bra. A little bust deflating for me would not be a horrible thing....although that would make&nbsp;the&nbsp;silhouette even more straight. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding/page/2#post-937531 Mon, 20 May 2013 22:47:14 +0000 rachylou 937531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I guess the thing was, somehow my dress sort of emphasized the bust and deflated it at the same time. There was a suggestion, a demarcation of the line under the bust but the more I looked... well I couldn't find the actual location of my actual bust. For all that the dress had <i>stays</i>, it lacked something in terms of structure.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-937481 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:40:03 +0000 dizzys 937481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rachy, <br />please elaborate^. Did you feel like the shape did not suit your body or is it too outdated? Or was there something else? Just curious. I am not sure this dress is considered empire as there is no seem. Its more of a sheath with front rouching..... But I could be wrong on the description. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-937230 Mon, 20 May 2013 17:09:42 +0000 rachylou 937230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not sure about the bustline of the Goodwill dress. I was just looking at old pics of when I was maid of honor for my own BFF. It had a similar kind of empire waist. It seemed so pretty at the time but now, even tho it was custom fitted, I don't know. Looks really funny in pics.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-937123 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:08:04 +0000 Suz 937123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those look like great options to me! You're going to look so pretty! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-937121 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:03:45 +0000 dizzys 937121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gah, thanks guys. I was hoping this would work. I will get working on the proper bra. I usually wear Euro brands like Curvy Kate and Panache. I found a few things in my size that may work. Light gray shoes and a white/ cream shrug. What is the protocol for color matching? Will light gray and cream work together with blue? I was thinking of book marking the white and blue with a shoe flower or hair flower or jewelry. Finishing with silver jewelry. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-937085 Mon, 20 May 2013 15:31:37 +0000 Beth Ann 937085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great find!&nbsp; Your arms, by the way, are fine. I'm always wishing for slimmer limbs, so I know what it's like to be sensitive about this, but your arms are nicely shaped and long.&nbsp; <br /><br />Denise had some great ideas.&nbsp; Footwear and accessories can bring out the retro vibe you do so well.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-937046 Mon, 20 May 2013 14:47:06 +0000 Angie 937046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with Denise too!

I like the birdie dress a lot. I think cream shoes are ok with white prints these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-936661 Sun, 19 May 2013 22:32:42 +0000 dizzys 936661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I may still get the birdie dress though. For the rehearsal dinner perhaps. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-936653 Sun, 19 May 2013 22:16:21 +0000 dizzys 936653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I found this at Goodwill today by chance. Honest opinions please. I am not used to showing my arms. I think I need a cami or better bra. White pearls/sandals /and cami perhaps? Maybe a white bolero? Does it age me in a bad way? I want kitschy sultry...not goodwill bag lady. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-936157 Sun, 19 May 2013 02:37:57 +0000 dizzys 936157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shoes I found.....( having a hard time finding a retro classic type sandle/ shoe in white this season.

I needed to find a pair anyway.....I need to think about if I want to do the bird dress or one with out embellishment. If I get the solid blue, I could pull in any color for shoes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-935867 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:32:17 +0000 Jenava 935867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maybe some white sandals?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/tildon-lindy-wedge/3474481">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ti.....ge/3474481</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-935865 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:30:37 +0000 Jenava 935865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE the birdies! &nbsp;A bit "day", but it's an outdoor wedding, so I say go for it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-935847 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:08:05 +0000 dizzys 935847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bride wants one of the Navy dresses.....satin is out I think in favor of more country look.

I found a couple more that I like. Love the third, but not sure if its too costume like and over the top.

I was upstaged by someone who wasn't even invited to our wedding - girlfriend of one of the band members. That was almost 28 years ago and I still remember.....</p> <p>3 or 4 would be my next choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-935566 Sat, 18 May 2013 02:25:32 +0000 Jenava 935566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are the bridesmaids wearing day dresses? &nbsp;I'd take my cue from that.<br /><br />I don't think the pinup girl dress would be over the top. &nbsp;It's how it's modeled...if it were on a dress form instead it might not look so outrageous! &nbsp;If that is too racy, then I'd go with something similar in dressiness to the wedding party but maybe in a complimentary color with a print so it doesn't look like you're trying to present yourself as one of the wedding party (even though you sort of are).<br /><br />You may also want to ask the bride if she has a preference for what you should wear...she may be thinking of you sort of as one of the wedding party and thus wish you to wear something co-ordinating. &nbsp;Just a thought! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-935561 Sat, 18 May 2013 02:18:28 +0000 Suz 935561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hard to imagine that anything could look <b>LESS</b> va-va-voom on Christina but it actually looks less bombshell on her than on the model!&nbsp;<br /><br /><b>IS</b> it free to try?

Here is " the dress" in green. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w-to-w-bffs-wedding#post-935517 Sat, 18 May 2013 01:17:16 +0000 Suz 935517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The first dress you picked is gorgeous, but yes - it would be a bit too exposing, even with a cami -- unless it was a really covered up one, I guess. So if delivery is free you could always try, since your heart is there.&nbsp;<br /><br />I agree with Mary K about footwear. You will want something a little dressier. I like the third dress, too. But it will all be in the trying on.&nbsp;<br /><br />I will give this some more thought. I've been hunting for dresses myself in the past few weeks. My figure flattery requirements are pretty much the opposite, but something may come to me from the dim recesses of my memory if I give it a little time. Stay tuned.&nbsp;
