Too much? Just right? Blah?

This is a pretty big party and cocktail attire is required. My husband is having his on the same day, so Ill be wearing it to both.

Im open to other suggestions you all have.

I think it looks great! The front part with the weird crossover pieces of fabric is kinda weird, but that's just my opinion. Personally I'd go for this one, it's a very similar style but without the crossover fabric.

I really love that red though, it looks stunning

looks like the type of dress that is dependent on your figure. Good or better figure, you'll look great.

Dayum, you'll make all the heads turn thats for sure. I love the color, the part that shows cleavage but not so much cleavage that'll it'll look professional and the length looks good enough.

What shoes would it go with it?

That dress was totally made for hips. How shaped are your hips?

Take notice of the vertical lines in the front of the dress. They give you a slim straight-stick figure and show emphasis of the hips far easier. It's like a very interesting psychological mind-trick.

Being in New England, just looking at that dress makes my mind go "Omg, freeeeeeeeeezing" ....

But yeah, go for it! You are very pretty. I can see you rocking it well.

I dont have super wide hips but I do have a cute bubble butt. Which is why I wanted a bandage dress. Yeah I remember holiday parties in Montreal being horrific. Its sunny here luckily. I hated running inside the venue and turning blue!

And thanks! :)

Yeah last year i was worried so I wore something more modest. But so many women wore pretty revealing stuff. Otoh, my husbands company is a lot smaller and will be much more tame so Ill probably stand out there. But at least its not my company lol.

And I havent had any issues on CE so far. Maybe people have grown up?

Anyway, like I said, I'm not the best judge of what's too modest or not. Good luck though

Looks good and it will look amazing on you! I think red is a good choice.

I like the crossover part, I think it looks cool.

Thank you! I love the color too. Most of my dresses are black and I thought this one stood out a little more

Looks like most people like it. Now to see how it looks on me when I receive it.

Are you one of those people who are drawn to black and white too? It drives me nuts because I have a nasty time pulling myself from black and white colors. I too, am almost trying to shop for something new in color. Like, I just got navy blue and red cardigans last week. Of course, it's too darn cold to wear them, so I am stuck to my black and white jackets. Gah. :(

There is no need for you to paint your nails. You're fine the way you are.

Yeah pretty much all I wear is black, white, gray or blue. And my dresses are almost always LBDs. My husband prefers them. But he really liked this one too. And I showed him 2 other black dresses so that says something lol. It must be hard to even want to wear colors in the winter. I know I rarely did.

Thanks donkey! I like painting them though. I dont always have them done but I want to do them for the parties. I typically just do them myself to save money.

I received the dress and tried it on. It looked amazing. Unfortunately, the keyhole portion was waaaay too revealing. I have a short torso so it was positioned lower and basically exposing everything. I feel pretty sad because I have to go back to shopping. Im keeping it for a more appropriate venue, like a club or something.

Any suggestions on dresses? :(

I really like the first one but I think it will have the same issue. That neckline will be lower on me and my cleavage will be way too much. The second is a bit too conservative and the third has long sleeves and its pretty warm here. But those are the general styles Im looking for. Any ideas on other stores I can check out?

I hate shopping actually. I only like to do online shopping. I hate the lines, trying stuff on, spending hours at the mall looking. Ugh.

Try browsing through Nordstrom, you can filter by dress length, sleeve length, style, etc

I'm very picky which is why I was really sad this dress didn't turn out how I hoped
