desperatehousewife Posted February 27, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I would really appreciate your opinions here.... I found this dress and am unsure if I "love" it or what. I have shoulder length auburn hair and will be really tan when I wear this.. IF I wear this. I guess I am afraid that it might wash me out because it is white/silver. On the other hand I think it has the potential of being really pretty with silver,strappy & sparkly heels, and the right jewlery. :rolleyes: What do you all think? :o http://i7.ebayimg.com/03/i/06/42/09/d9_2.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted February 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You go girl. That looks like a nice flattering dress, dare I say sexy. It should show off your tan beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browneyedhunni85 Posted February 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I love the dress! The colors will look good with a tan. White always makes you look darker it seems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1cruiselvr Posted February 27, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Okay, I'm going to present the other side - I don't care for the dress - it's not the style but the color. Maybe the picture doesn't do it justice but there are more flattering colors around. Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandLockedInAZ Posted February 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I would think that the silver, especially such a pale silver, would look best on a pinkish skin tone and someone with blonde or very light red hair. Think Nicole Kidman. I'm no expert, but that's my thought. It might be that the mannequin it's modeled on is completely white, but it seems very pale. I've read that people with pink undertones to their skin should stick to silver jewelry and those with golden undertones should wear gold jewelry. That is the basis for my opinion. Hope that helps! p.s. It's a beautiful dress, though! Nothing wrong with your taste, that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted February 28, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I really, really like the style of the dress, but not the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted February 28, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm not crazy for the style, but I'm 52, not 22, so I'm a bit out of the loop on that subject. But, is this for a formal night? If so, I don't think it's appropriate, it looks too casual to me. But for a casual night, or to wear to the disco after dinner, it looks great. I don't see anything wrong with the color and if you have a great body, show it off when you're young! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbt2 Posted February 28, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think it looks more for a casual night as well, and I too agree I am not a fan of that color of "silver". I'd keep looking. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I dont cruise, I would not wear that dress for any formal occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted February 28, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I love the style, but I personally wouldn't wear that color. You said that you don't know if you "love it". I'd hold out until you find something that you love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperatehousewife Posted February 28, 2006 Author #12 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks to all!! No,;) it was not for formal night, I have one dress for that already that I think will be stunning! I will continue to look for another. I too thought it was too casual for formal night, thought after dinner or a casual night. I appreciate all the opinions ... I think Ehpride is right I will wait until I see something I KNOW I want:D ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
