    I like the Navy one. For me, the first one looks too mother of the bride and the 3rd one looks too bridesmaid like.
    Totally agree. I actually thought the last one looked a bit old too

    Definitely number 2!

    I agree with the silver accessorizing. Sounds like a size 6 by what you've explained and I would go for one of those mini dress spanx.

    I find the problem with jersey material, is if you went no undie/g you'd end up with a creeping problem

    I pulled the trigger on the blue jersey number.
    I hope it fits

    So now I need your help again because I can't decide which hangbag to buy. I like handbags the way other women like shoes so obviously I must have a new handbag

    Matchy matchy or pop?

    Number 1 is c1918 so no-one will ever have the same bag.
    Number 2 is probably 1940's (only a guess because this style was popular then) and whilst no-one will ever have the same bag there are still quite a lot of that style about so I might run into a similar one one day.

    I agree. The red is nice but its gold. Can't tell completely on the blue dress but is it silver detail?

    I'm a bit worried that handbag 2 will be *too* matchy matchy.

    I don't really mind mixing gold and silver tones....

    Love the camel BTW Mrs O'M.

    ETA - I wear a scarf so that has to match/not match too. If I go the blue bag then I need to find a blue or silver scarf. If I get the red I can probably wear one of my red/pink/purple scarves.

    Is it head scarf? If so I think you could go either way and look fine.
    Neck scarf definitely red or silver. Not blue.
    I'm thinking if you don't want to fork out for the scarf as well I would go red bag, red scarf...it is a wedding after all

    I think red bag and purpley red scarf would look gorgeous

    If you are matching scarf and shoes and bag and dress it may all be a bit blue....

    I changed my mind... Go with the red and one of the scarfs you already have!

    Novella was kind enough to do the camel for me

    If you're doing red scarf and bag, you also need red shoes. Or sparkly silver/gold ones with a red pendant on them.

    Dress is here already

    I ended up getting the 4 because every single review said size down. I love it. It fits perfectly except the length so it will need hemming but I expected hemming so no surprise there.
