Hi Ladies,

I promised Deborah that I would post pics of this new dress. Bought on sale and not really on my shopping list because I am Team casual/pants.
Please excuse the no make-up face.
All thoughts welcome!

AHHHH! I LOVE THIS DRESS!!! Would you be willing to tell me where you got it? Pweeze?

I can see it with a navy blazer and a skinny black belt, opaque tights and tall boots... I like the wide belt too, but do you have one of solid colour to try? I wonder if a red skinny belt might look better than ?pink ...

I was also thinking that a blazer would be great with this dress.

Oh, I really love this dress! I picture it being worn in the summer to a bbq lunch or out for dinner.

My vision for this dress is to wear it with hair up (making the most of the lovely neck-line); a nude or pewter metallic heel/wedge, no belt and worn with a lovely statement bracelet or bangle in the height of summer. Oh, and a handbag that co-ordinates either with the bracelet or the shoes. A blazer could also work in with this in slightly cooler weather. Simple and understated and letting the lovely styling and fabric doing the talking.

Thanks Caro, Doulahil and Carol!
Other Lyn- I'm in Australia, and the dress is from a store called Trenery.
You can find them on-line I am sure, but I don't know if they ship O/S or not.
Thank-you for the great styling suggestions!!

Gorgeous! I would wear it everywhere! It's very versatile, for work, for a walk in the city at weekends!

Lyn this is just lovely. The colours are beautiful. My favourite styling here is #3, that belt looks like it came with the dress, it creates a really fluid look. You could definitely dress this up or down. A blazer and even a scarf for a bit of pattern mixing would look great dresses up. And simply on its own, like #1 is lovely for a warm day going out for lunch, or even shopping etc.

Oh, wow, this is the patterned version of the LBD. you look lovely.
Wear as-is with jewelry & dressy shoes; can totally see it with Jean jacket or moto and booties or boots; pastel cardi and flats for a sweeter look. I would wear the heck out of it & not save for rainy day.

Love #3 - the shoes and belt really complement the dress. Great choice! A dress like this is so versatile and something you will have in your wardrobe for years.

Gorgeous dress! In addition to lyn's fabulous suggestions, you could pair this with a dark denim jacket and booties.

I love Trenery! Our local Woolworths stores here in South Africa stock the Trenery line.

This is a terrific dress style for someone who typically wears casual clothing. It's also an "all season" dress in your climate, since it would look terrific under a blazer. Oh --- and you look fab in it!

I love it! The neckline and sleeves are really attractively cut. Hopefully its a nice cool fabrication too.

Well, I guess I will be keeping (and wearing) this dress after all your great suggestions and kind critique!
It was so helpful to even take the pics to see from an outside P.O.V.
I appreciate all the styling suggestions, and feel confident to 'Pop the tags' now.
Claire- it came with a full-length separate grey slip, so some versatility for the weather there.
Lyn*- a shame it is not available on their website- might be a left over item from previous season?
Deborah, I like the scarf idea, and maybe I will wear it when we get together for coffee and G.F. cake one day?
Angie, my first 'Killer'- thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

That is one fabulous dress! I like all incarnations and the shoes esp. I would never have thought to put on a belt, but fabulous!

I can't think of a place or occasion you couldn't wear this dress.

Love this dress! #1 and #3 are my favorites. I like that the grey belt is about the same width as the diagonal "stripes" (not that they're really stripes).
