I lean to the green for a wedding, if it fits well and is not fussy.<br /> Just me, but if I had some lovely tattoos, would coordinate the dress with them to show them off, frame them. So if you had colurful ones, the green. If they were more stark, the black :-)<br /> Got to come out sometime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma-which-dress#post-1493503 Tue, 19 May 2015 14:04:39 +0000 Gail 1493503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the black dress and I agree with another comment that the top of the green one looks fussy to keep in place, at least it would be for me !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma-which-dress#post-1493502 Tue, 19 May 2015 14:03:33 +0000 Vix 1493502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Vivaberry --</p> <p>Wow, the green is something special and I was thinking a racerback plunge bra would work but LBD's comments re reviewings and the steaming/wrinkling due give me pause.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd suck to spend on that dress and arrive with it all mashed in back from getting to the event.</p> <p>The black is also gorgeous, though I do love the idea of color for a summer wedding. Worth a try?</p> <p>Hope you'll report back!</p> <p>ps I think the tattoos covered or no? issue is so specific to region, place of worship (if involved) and host that I can't advise. I would think as-is would be fine if we're talking non-religious sites, otherwise probably best to ask the hosts and/or bring a wrap to cover up during the ceremony. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma-which-dress#post-1493493 Tue, 19 May 2015 13:25:59 +0000 crutcher 1493493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You would be elegant in the black brocade...I deinitely vote for that dress... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma-which-dress#post-1493485 Tue, 19 May 2015 12:40:53 +0000 Dixie 1493485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would't mind about the tattoos. The green dress has a lovely color but I prefer the black dress for the occasion.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma-which-dress#post-1493483 Tue, 19 May 2015 12:37:35 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1493483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In truth, I <u>love</u> the black brocade - it looks like Grace Kelly meets Film Noir! &nbsp; The green is lovely, but I wasn't sure about the cut of the top - if you have to wear a bra (I always do), it looks tricksy.</p> <p>If I loved both dresses equally, the reviews would sway me towards the black. &nbsp; Multiple comments say there is a LOT of fabric in the green skirt, and that the bodice is complicated to try and fit and keep in place. &nbsp;But the thing that would finally scare me off in the end is the first comment, that the green dress needs to be steamed well before it can be worn. &nbsp; My experience with clothes that need to be 'steamed well', that is that if I sit down for more than 20 minutes, when I stand up, they are super-wrinkled.</p> <p>All of that aside, what does your heart lean towards?&nbsp;</p> <p>(ETA &nbsp;- I don't know the etiquette of tattoos as weddings, so I cannot answer. &nbsp; If I were getting married - ha! - I would be fine with it).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma-which-dress#post-1493480 Tue, 19 May 2015 12:22:09 +0000 Vivaberry 1493480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black tie optional Wedding in NYC later this month.<br /> Which dress?</p> <p>I have to cover my tattoos i think? They are in the center of my back and on my front shoulder. I might be able to get the black dress altered to cover. </p> <p><a href="http://m.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-dresses/4130204593737.jsp#/" rel="nofollow">http://m.anthropologie.com/ant.....3737.jsp#/</a></p> <p><a href="http://m.anthropologie.com/anthro/m/product/clothes-dresses/4130204597788.jsp#/" rel="nofollow">http://m.anthropologie.com/ant.....7788.jsp#/</a> </p>
