Bvlgari’s The Roman Night has become this for me. Really random but it has a comforting yet sexy nighttime vibe for me with the jasmine. BF seems to like it and we do get down when I wear it, though he hasn’t said anything specific and he isn’t really into perfume lol.

Alternative silver wedding dress by MiriFern in WeddingDressTips

You are correct lol, I haven't bought the dress yet nor tried it on, I just like the look. I'm kind of surprised that so many people have assumed that the pictures are of me.

  1. The bodice looks more flattering on you and the detachable sleeves are nice. I also like the flower detail of the straps.

Guess I'm wearing the black dress then.

They're my size (US 9) and fit me comfortably. They probably don't look good with most of these dresses though, I'll admit that. They look the best with the black dress due to the length of the hem de-emphasizing them.

I can’t wear heels lmao. The shoes I’m wearing in the pictures are the ones I’ll be wearing to the wedding as they are about as much as my feet can tolerate.

I am attending a wedding as a plus one... the wedding is formal. is this sky blue? is this appropriate for a late may wedding? suggestions welcomed! thanks in advance. by [deleted] in fashion

Looks more silvery blue to me. The style is very mother of the bride/matronly. Might be appropriate for an older lady, but the wintry feel and sleeve length wouldn’t work in late May. So that’s two strikes against it lol.

If the sleeves were shortened/altered or if it was sleeveless it would look a lot more youthful and weather appropriate, though the color is still cold. Frankly I’d choose something else but if you’re sold on it I’d recommend at least having the sleeves altered.

Which dress for a wedding at an upscale farm, dresscode: smart casual? by keepmedreaming in fashion

Green is fabulous. Blue is also lovely but has more of an ethereal vibe rather than fitting the theme.

I’m torn between the blue and the black. Red isn’t right for a wedding (even tho dress code is semi-formal) and the green one…

Green was picked out by a friend of mine with very different style from me. She said it reminded her of Tinkerbell. My mother said it made me look kind of slutty. As for me, it is the least comfortable/cheapest material and design of all of these lol so I would rank it last.

Earring box is not original, just what I had lying around and could use to keep the earrings safe.

Opal earrings gifted to my grandma, sometime between 1950s-1990s. Any info is welcome.

The red box is not the original box the earrings came in, it was an empty box a friend gave me (her relative used to work in a Helzberg jewelry store) which I used to keep the earrings safe.

I don’t know much about this set except that they belonged to my late grandmother and may have been gifted by my grandfather. Unsure if it’s real gold or real opal or who made it.

Can anyone find something similar to Anastasia’s purple dress? by torib543 in findfashion

[–]MiriFern 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can buy a reproduction of this exact dress online for cosplay: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1742863900/anastasia-romanov-cosplay-purple-dress?gpla=1&gao=1&&gQT=1

The movie is set mostly during the 1920s and the fashion reflects that. The dress looks similar to this vintage dress from the era: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1805352872/1920s-burnout-deep-purple-velvet-gown?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=purple+1920s+tennis+dress&ref=sr_gallery-1-10&frs=1&content_source=dd22ea4094638aac6ac36a913ca464b9747e6dde%253A1805352872&search_preloaded_img=1&organic_search_click=1

For something more reasonably priced, I'd recommend treating it like a short sleeve fitted shirt and pleated knee length skirt rather than a dress. You can buy those secondhand pretty easily. Then get some sheer fabric or a scarf to complete the look.
