Re: Need Honest Opinions About This Dress

I live in a over 55 community.  WHen someone passes away there is always a big turn out.  most residents are average of 65-70.  Hardly anyone wears a black dress.  A bright red dress no but no one feels obligated to wear a black dress.

@on the bay,

Love the dress and the idea of wearing a belt. I would wear it non only to a  funeral but to many other places as well. You can accesorice it with pearls and a wrap with a brooch depending on the circumstances🌻

Dear lolakimono,

You are really a trend setter. The cashmere wrap is la pièce de résistance🌻

Tahari < $40 = KEEPER  😍

 

I agree with the others who said that you can add a sweater or scarf to make it more appropriate for a funeral.

I don't know what climate you live in, or your figure type, but it's a lovely $35 Tahari dress .....  wear a jacket or cardigan over it for a funeral and enjoy this dress for many occasions.

 

I think you'll ultimately regret returning it.

Before you decide to return the dress, try a lace camisole or a black solid camisole over a bra to see how that looks. Also a sweater or jacket on top could give it a daytime look. For the price, if you like the dress otherwise, I would keep it.

If you have to go out and buy a special bra just to wear with this dress then you really haven 't saved anything then have you?

I dont like the poured into body hugging look for real people like me, body shapers can only do so much and they are hot besides.  This would be a no for me.  Is OP striving for that look?

Re: Need Honest Opinions About This Dress

When it comes to style I think we should listen to our instincts. It sounds like you'll be self-conscious if you do wear it to a funeral, even if it is perfectly appropriate. So if you're keeping it just because it's a bargain, it's not really that much of a bargain if in the end you can't wear it for the purpose it was intended.

 

It is a lovely dress though. If you can truly find a purpose for it in your wardrobe, go for it.
