Will this work for formal night?

[aggiewife12]

This is one of my dresses I'm having made for formal night. It's tea length and a satiny material. I'm assuming it's formal enough. My DH will wear a white dinner jacket.

 

What kind of jewelry? Definitely need a statement necklace but pearls, diamonds, or sapphires?

That dress is super cute and perfect for formal night. What shoes will you wear ?

[aggiewife12]

Haven't decided on shoes yet. Maybe something dyed to match. I want a classy 50's look. I'll even have a petticoat so the skirt will be full.

[aggiewife12]

If the navy will match, maybe these!

[Cozzette2]

adorable. You are going to look fab!!!

[aggiewife12]

Thank you! I love planning outfits and dressing up!

[jkudzu]

I am in love with both the dress and the shoes!!! You'll be gorgeous!!!

[Lois R]

Very pretty and yes, it will work on formal night:)

 

We all have our own opinions about jewels;)......is the dress black?

For me? I would wear a white metal....either silver, white gold.....not

sure what you have in your wardrobe.....a pretty necklace with a pendant

and a pair of drop earrings......OR if you are going for a "classic look"?

I think pearls would look lovely....with a medium pearl chandelier type

of earring. Or an earring with a pearl stud in the lobe with a teardrop

shape coming down. OR if you have diamonds or fake diamonds......

I know real ones are no where in my budget but I have some pretty

fake ones that I wear.

 

Again, these suggestions are what I think would go.....I am sure other

gals will have their own opinions/suggestions.

I love the retro look of the dress (even though it's not my style).

The shoes have the rhinestone bling to them, so I wouldn't do pearls up top. Just me. I would, like someone else said, do the silver necklace with some silver/rhinestone/Swarovski crystal. Swarovski has some nice retro-looking pieces. Add some medium-size chandelier earrings and go!!!

 

Note: I make my own things with Swarovski - you can find your local bead store and get stuff to make exactly what you want!!!

No opinion on what jewelry to choose. I just want to add that I love the dress. It is gorgeous. I wish I had the figure to wear a dress like that.

 

There used to be a famous television actress in the fifties who started every television show by whirling down the stairs in fabulous dresses. This dress reminds me so much of what she would wear. I can just see her grand entrance in that lovely gown the OP has chosen.

Are you thinking of Loretta Young?

 

Anyway, I think pearls would go with the look.

I think pearls would carry out the retro-look but not with those shoes. Like slidergirl, I think a white metal with crystals/rhinestones would look great with the shoes and dress.

Gorgeous! Funny, I didn't get the "retro" vibe at all. I like the shoes. But I do think you will "make" it retro if you went with pearls.

 

Have a fun afternoon trying things on at home! Then only take what you need to prevent over-packing.

I love it! very vintage looking...beautiful..hmm mb diamonds?

[aggiewife12]

Thanks everyone! As long as the colors match, I am definitely getting those shoes. I found this vintage choker that I think will be perfect. I will wear diamond earrings. Sapphire is my birthstone, so I'm sure I will wear it again.

Shoes dyed to match, or otherwise matching your dress, is a classic 50s look. Perfect for the silhouette of the dress too! Given that...I'd vote for pearls...that also seems very 50s.

[cruisinnancy]

Absolutely! Gorgeous!

[Langley Cruisers]

Please post a pic all dressed up, either from your bedroom or from the cruise ship!

[aggiewife12]

I will certainly take a picture of it all together! I just have to order the dress! Can't wait to see it all together!

[GeekSquad4]

Gorgeous! Love the shoes and the necklace. Can't wait to see it all together. :) Hair up or down?

[aggiewife12]

My hair is pretty short so I will probably wear it down with some pulled back from my face.

[arkiesgirl]

I agree. Lovely dress and any of the necklaces will be lovely, just don't pair pearls with the rhinestone shoes.
