Crossing fingers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077200 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 21:11:32 +0000 Gigi 2077200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, all, for the input! It looks like my instincts were right on target. My first choice would be the velvet burnout dress too; I hope that it fits. It may be too big even in the smallest size (it should arrive in the next couple of days)--but sometimes with a wrap dress you can wrap it a little tighter to make it work.&nbsp;<b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>the dress did come in 0P! Keeping my fingers crossed.</p> <p>I'm fine with winterizing the leopard dress if need be. I have appropriate stuff for underneath.</p> <p>I did receive the other two skirts. The patterned skirt seems too casual. I LOVE the yellow velvet skirt, though! It is so comfortable. It came only in yellow for petite sizes, so that is what I have. I'll have to see what I can find for a dressy top (thanks for the finds,&nbsp;<b>Angie<i></i></b>)<b><i></i></b>, since it seems there is agreement that a turtleneck isn't going to cut it. I do have a dressy white ruched top, but it is sleeveless, so I would have to wear the moto jacket with it.</p> <p>I'm less concerned about the overall "attendance" aspect of the wedding and am more concerned about the photos. Since I am close family, I will be in some of the photos. If I wear a sleeveless item, I will have to wear the topper in the photos, because I think the photos are in the church. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077151 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 16:47:45 +0000 Angie 2077151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does the burnout dress come in a OP, <b>Gigi</b>? I don't think so It does come in a US0 because I tried it on, and it was a perfect fit. Maybe go that route?</p> <p>I have the yellow velvet skirt and can't rave enough about it! We are a similar size, only that petites are too short for me - so an XSP should be fab on you. It comes in teal too. Get a nice top to go with it: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077147 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 16:26:23 +0000 karen13 2077147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the green velvet - seems perfect for the occasion and versatile. &nbsp;Second fave is the yellow velvet skirt - fun luxe unexpected color, but not sure about what to top it with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077143 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 16:03:54 +0000 Barbara Diane 2077143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the weather is too cold for the dress as is, can you add a silk cami or tank or<br /> similar and bicycle shorts or something similar with boots to make it work?<br /> If not, would a warmer dress work?<br /> I like the yellow skirt for the fanciness but would like something dressier than a turtleneck with it.<br /> If you wear one of the skirts I would add some festive jewelry.<br /> In winter in Philadelphia for events I tended towards long dressy skirts (before midis came back) a dressy but not business topper and a simple blouse.<br /> Maybe someone from a colder climate can chime in.<br /> I also don’t know how dressy the event is. And I’ve seen women look fabulous in a suit or pantsuit.<br /> Good luck and enjoy the wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077138 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 15:55:56 +0000 Anonymous 2077138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yet another vote for the velvet dress. That failing, my next choice would be the leather jacket. A sweater seems too casual for a wedding unless fine gauge and tucked with a dressy skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077122 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 15:17:14 +0000 JAileen 2077122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Velvet burn out dress with a warm coat. &nbsp;Hopefully indoors will be warm enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077105 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 13:58:47 +0000 Chris987 2077105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the dress.

It took me many years to get to this point. Obviously, you have to have good taste and be appropriate, but also stay true to yourself. If this is the event you were dreading, make sure you are comfortable in your outfit too, so you can keep the emotional stuff in check (a suit of armor, as it were). Best to you.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077083 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 12:23:50 +0000 Helena 2077083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the group ...

Unless you think it would be too dressy, it looks perfect for a late November wedding. I wouldn’t go with a skirt unless you commit to buying a top that works with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077061 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 05:21:04 +0000 kellygirl 2077061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the leopard burn out dress for a wedding! Just gorgeous. I don’t see why a leather topper would be too casual although I’d probably prefer a coat if it is cold. You won’t be wearing it indoors anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077060 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 05:13:55 +0000 slim cat 2077060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That green burnout dress from Macy's looks really special. I don't see sleeveless dress but it sounds like a good choice too ( with moto jacket over it maybe..). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-outfit#post-2077057 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 04:03:02 +0000 Gigi 2077057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My brother is getting married at the end of this month in Iowa. I have a dress that I could wear if the weather is mild, but I am not confident that I have something nice enough to wear if the weather is cold. I have some nice midi wool skirts, but they are gray, and gray just doesn't seem appropriate for a wedding!&nbsp;</p> <p>I ordered some items and would like your input. <b>I'm wondering about the appropriateness of some of these items, whether they skew too casual.</b> My family is not a dress-to-the-nines group, but I am also the sister of the groom, so I feel that I need to be more dressy than if it were, say, a cousin.</p> <p>Here is what I have ordered:</p> <p>1. Sweater skirt from Anthro.&nbsp;<b>Too casual? Would wearing a plain turtleneck with this be too boring?</b></p> <p>2. Yellow velvet midi skirt from Anthro.&nbsp;<b>Again, not sure I have anything other than a plain turtleneck to go with this.</b></p> <p>3. Turquoise leopard burnout dress from Macy's.</p> <p>4. Sleeveless navy/multi dress from Anthro. I will wear this if the weather is mild, but I need a topper, at least for church.</p> <p>5. "Leather" jacket, to be used as a possible topper if needed.&nbsp;<b>Is a leather jacket too casual of a topper for a wedding?<br /></b><br />My options are somewhat limited because I am of very small stature and have to wear petite sizes, usually 00P or 0P. Occasionally I can wear a misses' XXS on top, but if the shoulders are too wide, I'm a goner. Frump city.</p> <p>Thanks for the help!</p>
