I agree with the poster who suggested navy--it would be just stunning! The one-shoulder dresses, I think, require, IMO, a figure that not many of us have, and they seem way more out-there than I perceive your style to be--classic, simple but drop-dead. Please choose the Vogue! <br /><br />Gail D.Gail D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09483481973818640246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-20510952297836308122010-10-26T16:58:43.593-04:002010-10-26T16:58:43.593-04:00I love love love the Bergdorf dress!

That last dress looks like your TNT pattern, not that it isn't special, but it would look like a black work shift with lace. I like the Vogue 1970, with the long sleeves and the one side being lace, of course. This would give you the lace-inspired look, but also the one shouldered look. Finding just the right lace would fun and since you won't need a whole lot, it could be super fabulous lace.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-55364296625763397132010-10-26T14:51:39.380-04:002010-10-26T14:51:39.380-04:00I like Vogue 1970.

The dress hangs so elegantly and wouldn't need to be tight-tight to look great. But...all the others are wonderful, too. The Vogue pattern has so many good options. I'm starting to think about our 50th wedding ann. next year and wondering what sort of dress I'll want. So I'll be watching your choice with great interest.

Lace gives it an elegant evening look, the princess lines are slimming and easy to tweek, and it doesn't scream "Tonight and no other."

I was going to suggest doing a lace inset instead of the beaded(?) neckline and perhaps lace sleeves, but then I thought maybe that's wandering into wedding-party territory? Maybe a sheer fabric instead of lace would keep it more in the party dress territory. My second choice is the Vogue view C. As far as color, I like the idea of a dark rich color.<br /><br />The Julia Roberts dress is nice, but somehow it's just not reading "happy" to me. It may just be the posture this photo, as her face certainly looks happy.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-53087802487881358402010-10-26T09:53:34.058-04:002010-10-26T09:53:34.058-04:00I like the Vogue pattern.
