Here is the second option I was telling you about in my previous post.
This
is a modern dress that is very much 1920's inspired, beautiful quality
and rather fancy, which is why it hasn't yet been worn in the year or so
since it has made it into my wardrobe.
The
pics are particularly bad this time - my camera hates all reds and goes
crazy on them. This dress is a deep coral shade, but nowhere as loud as
my camera makes it out to be.
Pros:
- good colour on me;
- light and airy (it will be hot where I go);
- easy to move and dance in;
- ties in with my 20's mood of late;
- very much on trend at the moment, if that can be a pro...
- ...??...
Cons:
- not that suitable for the church ceremony I think, will have to wear something else at the church, perhaps this
dress , (a shorter version of my option 1) - not a real con if you like clothes like I do, but 2 dresses require more room in the suitcase;
- I look terribly skinny in this dress which is corresponding to reality but not a very good look at all...
- haven't worn such a short dress in quite a while now so I am not sure how confident I'll be or indeed whether I should be showing my knees at all; moreover, the thought of leg makeup to cover up some broken capillaries behind my knee is a bit off putting...
- more care needed in transit compared to option 1, and not quite sure what to do if things get really crumpled, although I have a feeling this won't necessarily be the case (it's been doing very well packed flat with tissue in a box).
- hair will be extremely challenging - great if I manage it, terrible if I don't; it is not easy to get 1920's looking hair with my long locks (see lame result above) and, if I go for this option of dress, it will be the hardest hair style to achieve out of the three.
You've seen option 2, now tell me what you think!
