Green lace dress

lindtee

I got an unexpected invite to a wedding during the week for next month and I just don't have a clue where to start! The last wedding I was at was 7 years ago! I have it in my head that I would love something in green lace. Has anyone seen any in the shops or is it totally out of fashion?! I was looking at this dress on Asos, (in the green obviously) Is it weddingy enough. Have a budget of up to €150. Any advice appreciated and I'd also be interested in any other sites good for weddingly type stuff

These are all green lace, all New Look

Thanks for that. Think I may head to a New Look in the morning to try some of them on and ascertain that green lace actually suits me!

M&S have this one. Doesn't look like much on the model but M&S tend to put their models in one size too big.

lindtee, I've moved the your post and the posts that replied to it to its own thread. You were going to start one anyway so you and the other OP can get your own advice this way.

What about any of these OP? They aren't all lace or green, but there are some gorgeous dresses there

Btw I think the dress you linked to is fab and perfect for a wedding. I'd buy it myself if it wasn't a midi dress. They don't suit me.

cee_jay

lindtee the dress in your OP is fab - I love it. It would be very suitable for a wedding imo.

Love the dress in the OP, so pretty!

It's actually the length that is the only thing putting me off that dress:( I've heavy calves and midi length isn't the most flattering. I like the M&S dress you have linked to, its the sort of thing that could be lovely on. Going to take a trip into Cork tomorrow and try it on (and a couple of the new look ones).

Thanks for all the links Toast, will take a look through them and see if there is anything that catches my eye.

I was looking at light in the box too and there are some nice dresses which are available in green (not lace though)

It would be the dark green like the dress below that I would like the above in http://www.lightinthebox.com/a-line-straps-knee-length-chiffon-tulle-bridesmaid-dress_p251522.html
I am drawn towards the first one for some reason and its get great reviews although it is very unlike the one in my OP which I love (except for the length)

Just worked my way through your list Toast, thanks a million. There are some lovely ones there. My favs being

And another 7 of the Asos ones which I have saved in my basket!

I have too much choice now! I think I'll sleep on it. And have a trip to Cork in the morning and see if there is anything in the shops and to get an idea what actually suits! My heart is still drawn to the one in the OP, but I just have a feeling that it wouldn't suit me at all

Valentina

The dress in the OP wouldn't be for me.

I like this one from ASOS:



This dress may not be for everyone but I think it's fab.



This vintage dress on ebay is gorgeous too but the colouring may not suit everyone.

lindtee

The second one was lovely Valentina until I saw the back..why do they ruin dresses with big black zips? Also like the first one but might be a little tight for me! Actually like the third one aswell!
Ended up buying one just like this one below on impulse:o Not sure about it at all at but it worked at about €30 which isn't going to break the bank I'll need to get a slip/dress for underneath it though as the one I ordered doesn't have one, so is totally see through. (only realised afterwards) Not sure about the high collar either
