Does Louis have a dress appropriate for Aug wedding?

Started 1339965035.53 in Linea | Last reply 1340934354.733 by casuallady

I am 5'2" 145 toned for my 67. I am looking for a short or 3/4 sleeve knee length dress. I may also do a pencil skirt. I have 2 of his tops one pink and one navy backround with hydranga that I love. The wedding is in doors air conditioned.

I have the same navy/hydranga top and I wear it with the Linea navy georgette tiered boho skirt. It's cute. You're thin, here's my picks for you A222259 Knit dress with bead detail, or A224716 sleeveless v-neck dress. You can't go wrong with either dress or the skirt if it's still available. Enjoy the wedding. :)

Isn't it nice that Louis did several dresses in different styles for us this summer? I hope you find one for the wedding.

Hi Casuallady, Unfortunately Louis's dresses sell out very quickly. I am about your age and I found a George Simonton dress that has 3/4 sleeves that I certainly would wear to a wedding. The item # is A212046. Check it out....you might like it!{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

I think Louis has a few dresses that would be very appropriate for an Aug wedding. Take a look at A224711, A224716 with the A223660, A223658, A222259 and if all else fails try the A222265 Kimono with the A222271 matching shell and a black skirt or the A224718 black skirt. I think anyone of these would be great for an indoor or out door Aug wedding.

Regarding the shorter boho skirt A224718 ... does the hip area run small? I notice there is a layer right at the hipline. I'm between L and XL and usually these type of pull on free-flowing skirts are too large especially in the waist if I size up to an XL. One more question, do you think black is alright for a 2:00 pm wedding (indoors) in July? Thanks all.

Black is alright no matter the time of day.

I'm loving the shorter black boho skirt with the short sleeve ruffle black sweater. I would think the right jewelry (white agate/ howalite??) might soften the black somehwhat. It's an end of July Florida indoor wedding and I've been struggling with what to wear.

I really wanted to try the dresses on so didn't purchase a Linea, although I love his line. Today I was at the Mall and tried on some dresses at Christopher & Banks, and Penneys. I found a really cute blk and White dress ( knee length) on my 5'2 frame) and loved it. It was on sale for 19.99. It was at C&B. Thanks for your suggestions.
