I need some advise/help

Imaoldhippie — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 12:06:15 GMT

about A302599. I am going to a wedding in June and I really like this top. I am thinking of wearing it with some nice white dress leggings and nice dress sandals.

The only thing I question is the pockets. On the pink you can see the pockets quite plainly. However, on the black I dont think you can see the pockets.

I cant make up my mind if I want the pink or the black. Does anyone have this top? Is it as pretty as it looks? If I get the pink I have cute pink heeled sandals to wear with it. The black Im no sure about shoes yet.

The wedding is at Disneyland in Florida, so need to wear a casual dressy outfit.

@Group 5 minus 1............lol, yes June. I am looking at other tops too and even some maxi dresses.

However, I just like the top since I am a tunic wearer because of my beer keg belly. Its at a good price and no S&H charges today.

Post your question in the forum "My Favorite Brand" under Linea, and you'll get answers from people who own it.

@Imaoldhippie - I would make sure the wedding is more on the casual side. Usually those Disney weddings are over the top extravagant.

Sure you want to wear a tunic top and leggings to a wedding? Perhaps a phone call to the Mother of the Bride (or Groom) would be helpful for the appropriate style of dress. I would expect a much more formal event at Disney. And, Orlando in June is very hot and humid. You won't be comfortable in leggings or hose that time of year.

Is the wedding in the afternoon or evening? That will also help you decide of the formality of your outfit. It there a sit-down dinner and dance?

My neice was married in St. Pete last Memorial weekend. I wore a long, navy gown with a low back. No beading, glitter, glam. Simple elegance for an evening wedding held at an Art Gallery. It was cool during the reception and dinner, but perfect for the dance. I did not wear hose.

@BirkiLady @jackthebear @CelticCrafter @lolakimono @Group 5 minus 1..................The groom is my step son and its an afternoon wedding. It will be a casual semi dressy affair.

I too am thinking wait until spring/summer clothes are out. I will wear either dressy slacks, leggings or a maxidress since I am the president of the pasty white legs club I dont do any leg showing. Capri pants are as leg showing as I get.

yes

perhaps waiting to find out time and exact venue, indoor or outdoor ceremony

Weddings are one of the few occasions to dress up and get away from ubiquitous leggings

@Imaoldhippie

How about something like this?

Re: I need some advise/help

BirkiLady — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 13:08:29 GMT

@Imaoldhippie That answers a lot of questions. Thanks.

How about a nice, simple silk bouse with dressy slacks or a long skirt and sandals? Silk is cool when it's hot and warm if you are in AC. It's the best fabric for any weather. And, it's dressy for your place in the wedding . . . yet wearable for anyplace!

Unless you are able to find a classic, up-scale maxi dress, I'd skip that idea. Maxi dresses are too house-dress in appearance for a wedding IMO.

@lolakimono...........beautiful and I really like it, but I dont bare my upper arms. I have the Batwoman wings.

Im such a pain to buy clothes anymore. Hide my upper arms, hide my belly area, hide my legs. Geesh maybe I should just wear monk robes. LOL.

Re: I need some advise/help

CelticCrafter — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 13:10:23 GMT

JMO, if this is your stepson's wedding I think you need to be a little more dressed up than a tunic and leggings even if it is going to be a casual afternoon affair.

Re: I need some advise/help

BirkiLady — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 13:22:52 GMT

@Imaoldhippie Go to your nearest Dillard's store and ask for help. A good salesperson in their better clothing department will be happy to help you with the appropriate style and fit.

ETA: Begin looking now, @Imaoldhippie. I found my dress for my neice's wedding in January last year. I originally brought home several things. But their wedding was the entire weekend and I needed many outfits. Things sell out quickly.

I would wait until closer to June and find something. I would suggest absolutely not wearing leggings to a wedding of any type.

I would look elsewhere all the pretty vacation clothing is now starting to come into the stores much nicer then Susan Graver clothing on QVC.

I bought that top in both pink and ivory and returned both. I am sixty six years young and I wear an XL and it was not flattering. Maybe if I was around 5'9" or taller. Also, very important, the pink leans more towards peach, and when I took it outside for better lighting it read nothing but peach. If you have your heart set on a pink top I would not recommend it. The pockets were like flashing lights! I also have salt and pepper hair thinking the "pink" would look nice, wrong!. Hope you end up with something you love and have a great time at the wedding!

@Imaoldhippie@What about a maxi dress and sandals.You would be cooler without something on your legs and the dress would be more comfortable.

Re: I need some advise/help

Imaoldhippie — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 13:40:21 GMT

@coconut1818............Thanks just what I needed to know. I will not be ordering that tunic.

I will take the advise from the others and wait for a while to see what comes out for spring and summer.
