Wedding Dress Related- help me out

I've been looking for a jacket/bolero/something to wear with my dress.  It'll be November (probably cold), and I'm self-conscious of my arms. I just have no idea what type of jacket to look for.

So here's my dress. I tried it on with a beaded 3/4 length shrug, and it looked good, but I'm not sold. Any ideas?

  • I forgot how much I love your dress! How about something like this:

  • Thanks, ladies.

    NQ- that's the designer that made the jacket I tried on. I was thinking of something like that.

  • I know you mentioned wanting the lace in a pp.  I can't tell from the pic...does your dress have lace on it?  When I was getting fitted the woman who did my alterations offered to make a lace bolero for me and I really wish I had done it.  Maybe someone from your bridal shop could do that or you could use someone like Nilah, who I know gets a lot of good references around here.

    No lace, just a beaded brooch.  But I love lace, the dresses that had it had too much of it.  If that makes sense.

    I think you could still get a lace bolero with your dress.  Were you able to try the lace one on with your dress?  If you love it then I would go for it because if you get a different fabric and you really wanted the lace you might end up regretting it.

  • i wore a 3/4 white fur (fake) belero... it looked amazing with the different textures. it was a complete last minute addition and I borrowed it from a friend because I never thought to worry about it being freezing and it was that day.

    Beagle, if you wanted and the white matches I would be more than willing to just give you mine.  My dress came with a stole and my seamstress made it into a bolero.  It's shot with silver embroidery and some beading.

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • LTP- is that Nigel?  Hubba hubba!  ::::wolf whistle::::

    Also, my dress is a diamond white.  If it matches as fits, that would be awesome. I'll keep you posted as it gets closer.  Thank you so much!

  • If you want lace, I am going to bet designers will be churning out Catherine-esque lace jackets by the boatload come tomorrow!

    Also, I forgot how much I love your dress.

    You are not at all what I had pictured in my head. You look much younger in real life than my image.

  • Well, I like to think I'm well-preserved but this was taken almost 8 years ago.

    I will be 40 this fall.

     

    Beagle let me know when you will be in CC next and you can either run by my house or I will drop it off with you somewhere, better to rule it in or out earlier than later so you don't get stuck if it doesn't work.

    I will have a look at it this weekend to make sure it's in ok shape.
