ciyates Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I am going to a wedding the first week of October. My DH is the best man. What do you think? http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-final-cut/stardust-wrap-dress.html I am just now sure. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) It's cute, but I don't know about the puffy sleeves. They are out of style around here, but that varies so much by location. I prefer a longer dress with a teensy bit higher neckline than that for weddings so that I can dance freely without worrying about it. Mid-calf length is my favorite. I like the Catherine or the Francesca dress from the same website, for that kind of occasion, a little better. Edited May 9, 2011 by Carol in Cal.

Impish Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't like prints, myself...and tend to steer away from black at weddings, regardless of the change in thinking on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I think it would be fine. It's cute, and totally appropriate. The only thing that concerns me, is that it says it can't be returned OR exchanged. I have a problem w/ that, but not the dress itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I shop at the Nordstrom Encore department for plus size dresses and jeans. Their quality is very good, their return policies are generous, and they have a great selection of very stylish and classic clothes. I think you'll be glad if you check there before you decide. Many of their dresses are in the same price range as the website you are looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Love the blue, don't care for the style - in particular, the sleeves and the skirt. I think I'd go for something longer in bright colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 A dress like that *must* fit perfectly in the bust area. If you can't return it, I wouldn't risk that kind of money on it, even if you love it. I do like the color and the neckline, but I don't like the sleeves; that rouching on the bottom could look cheap IRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edithcrawley Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I am going to a wedding the first week of October. My DH is the best man. What do you think? http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-final-cut/stardust-wrap-dress.html I am just now sure. :confused: Honestly it depends on what kind of wedding it is, is it formal, sorta formal, backyard casual? Maybe something like this http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-dresses/catherine-asymmetrical-dress-in-emerald.html or this http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-dresses/true-colors-dress-in-royal.html or this one: http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-dresses/plus-size-casual-dress/blooming-nights-dress.html seem a lot more wedding like to me.

LidiyaDawn Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I wouldn't worry about what *other* people think - do YOU like the dress? Everyone has their own tastes and stuff, so you'll get all kinds of opinions… your own is the most important. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenL Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 If it's an evening wedding, I think it would be nice. I'd be afraid of not being able to return in though. If you've bought from them before and know their fits, then you may be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I would tend to lean toward one of the solid jewel tone dresses for an October wedding. That said, get something you love! I agree with the others about not buying a dress you can't return. It's a long time until October, so I would shop around and get something I could try on and return if needed. I'm sure you will rock it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Personally, I think the shoulder design makes women look broader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulMama Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I think the dress the OP chose is beautiful! I would however, have a concern about the return policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I really like the OP's dress! I think it's very stylish. For those who think the "puffy" sleeves look dated, have ya been shopping lately? Those pleated-shoulder sleeves are making a comeback. But the sleeves didn't look puffy to me. Anyway, if you've read the "How Not to Look Fat" book (by the same gal who wrote How to Never Look Old), you'll notice the first dress has all the right features - patterned top, solid bottom, wrap style, v neck, three quarter sleeves.... Very flattering style. I would never buy something I couldn't return unless I tried it on. This would be my concern if there's a no-return policy. This dress is not suitable for wedding event because this outfit is a casual wear.In wedding occasion you wear prom dresses and long tail ivory or white dress,these type of dresses are suitable for wedding ceremony. I don't know where this poster came from. :confused: I am in a business where I attend high end weddings a few times a month. With the right shoes and jewelry this dress would be just fine unless it is a very formal event. Just my two cents. I like the original dress, but since it's not returnable I would only order it after I did all the real life shopping I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't know where this poster came from. :confused:. I don't know, either, but I think he or she is going to try to sell us something very soon.... like maybe dresses for proms and weddings... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing white to a wedding??? :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I thought the OP's dress was lovely. I gues the 'no return' policy, if she hasn't yet tried it on, would be a deal breaker. Yet, for me, it looled quite nice, very appropriate & falttering. Edited March 21, 2012 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It's okay, but I much prefer the "Blooming Nights" dress that was linked to by another poster. That one is prettier and I think a more formal dress would be more appropriate for a wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
