The Holiday Dress Dilemma

[Fleur De Guerre]

Not photogenic, my eye!

I thought perhaps I could re-style something I wore a number of years ago

Or you could just wear something you wore a few years ago. Really, no one is going to remember what you wore to the holiday party in 2004.

The green one is fabulous!

Wow! looks like the votes are for the green! I suppose that is more holiday festive. I appreciate all the comments. Do you ever simply think in your head - I'm a little bored with the way I wear this dress and I wish I had some new ideas for it. I knew you guys would have some ideas. Maybe I could make a fabulous sash across the pootchie belly part much like the pink dress has.

I work with designers and they really watch and pay attention to who wears what (usually in a nice way). To be honest dressing vintage has made my own grave - some people tend to watch what I'm wearing perhaps because they find it quirky or something. I have honestly had a number of people bring up something I've worn to the party years later - so strange! So I really enjoy wearing something different every year. I guess I get a kick out of the attention I suppose.

I also like the green or red with rhinestone accents. You are too SO photogenic, liar!

Perhaps you could add a cummerbund sash or overskirt to it like in this pattern:

That's exactly what I was thinking lyburnam! I thought if I did it with snaps or velco it wouldn't ruin the dress.

I think the cummerbund in that pattern just ties at the back and the overskirt has a zip and button in the side - so it'd probably be a perfect pattern for you!

Very cute idea.

I have a similar dress with a peplum:

You look gorgeous in those pics and so do your dresses. I like the green, but I love the flowered one and the reddish ornage one. Good luck with whichever one you choose.
