80's Purple Dress..HAS ARRIVED!

Oct 12, 2009 in Style and Fashion
My dress Has finally arrived from 80sPurple..along with a 10$ giftcard for a furture purchase. The transaction was easy, smooth, and shipping was cheap and arrived in no time flat.

In the picture Im wearing the only grey shoes I own, and accessories for the sake of accessories..so just ignore them. The actual color is more of a pale pale yellow then the offwhite it appears in the online photo and here, and looks great with the grey lace band. But the dress itself is true to what I expected. It fits me wonderfully (a size small. Im 5'5, and weigh 120), and is great quality. The buttons on the adorable pockets are gold with black tops.

Overall shopping experience: A+++. My first order was out of stock (and after browsing the site, noticed the photo is still up and acting like you can order..no kudos for that.) BUT they sent me a free of charge item that I choose myself for the inconvience. Second order you see above, and everything went well, the item is as expected, and I recieved another added bonus of the giftcard. Ill definetly purchase from this company again.

Im officially in love with this dress. I have a wedding coming up for a good friend. Question kaboodlers..is this appropriate? Its a small, living room, close family and friends only deal. Or do I purchase something a little more formal?

omigod, i love this dress !

I love that dress. I think it would be perfect for the wedding you are talking about! Also, I love shopping online.

This dress is simply perfect!

this is really cute. it looks to me like its pale yellow but the lace band looks brown, although you say its grey. my eyes must be bad or something! hah. what i think is cute about this dress is the straps! they arent spaghetti strapped, they have a thicker band-love that.

as far as wearing it to a smaller wedding, hmmm...it just looks a little too summery for me. although i dont think you should have to buy something else just for a small get-together wedding. sorry, not sure!!

Its a true Grey cupcake...the pic prolly isnt the best.

Also creases are because I just pulled it out of shipping bag lol! For anyone whos interested...its 20% off now..

Yowza! You look great in your new dress. The lace is great and the color works well with your skin tone. Great pick!!! : }

i looked at the website, & im in love with the clothes !

Thanks guys for all your comments :)..and ya me to simplyangelic!! My fiance is about ready to disable the website cause im ready to get on and order more! I adore pretty much everything on there!

i wish it wasnt so expensive :(

ya thats the downside. theres coupons and stuff you can use, but even with that and shopping the sales/clearance it can still be a hole in the wallet.

:(

@toshiba1, oh i totally believe you about it being grey. theres just bad lighting in my room or something.

btw, i love the dress and id totally wear it.

Ya plus cameras not the best. Thanks sweetie :)

very cute dress. i think it's good for an informal wedding. i'm with cupcake, though. it's summery. maybe pair it with a little grey shrug? then again, you will be inside, so it won't really matter. super cute. :)

Totally adorable on you!

you look adorable! for a small wedding that you are describing you can get away with it for sure... dress is up a bit with some cute gray lace tights and awesome heels. You can also throw on a gray cashmere sweater to keep warm. Pair with some beautiful silver jewelry!

i love the dress and that is perfect for the wedding!

You look really pretty in the dress, and the heels, I have a pair just like them. Although black, but yours look black in the pic too. For an informal wedding, I'd wear it. But I'm informal. :) And I'll take the heels if you don't want them. :)

WOW! THE DRESS IS ADORABLE AND SO DO YOU !I THINK PERSONALLY THIS DRESS WOULD BE TOTALLY OK FOR THE UP COMING WEDDING.=)

You are beyond gorgeous in the dress! I'm so glad you had a great experience with the site.

ohh its lovely...really great buy!!!

The dress is super cute. I think it would be just fine for a small wedding. Unless you happen to know that a lot of the other guests are wearing something more dressy. Styling I think maybe simple jewelery - a small pendant necklace, some thing bangles or a cuff maybe. The dress makes such a statement, you don't want to steal any thunder from it! Other than that, maybe a crop sweater or bolero/cropped jacket in case you get chilly. Or if you've got a wrap, that would work too. The shoes you're wearing with it look great, or you could also go with a basic pump or peep toe. I thought about a belt, to make it a more casual look for another purpose after the wedding, maybe high up close to the lace or skinny belt in the middle, but...it might be too much, but you could try it and if looks bad in the mirror, then fuggedaboutit! :)

You look great in that dress! I agree with agauthier79 - perhaps add a cropped sweater, or a shrug or something, if you'd like. It looks lovely though, and the third picture is really cute!

very cute I love the pockets!!

Great dress!

Might be too late to say now, but it does look like the perfect dress for a small, less-formal wedding. I agree wholeheartedly with @agauthier79 that you don't want to detract from it. A simple shawl or wrap would be called for if it's chilly.
