The one I liked most on the first look cost nearly 3000€. Which I find interesting, because usually my taste isn't that expensive. I must've felt inspired by the Valentino suits Mika is wearing for such occasions. 😅 I've bookmarked a few other dresses tho that are more my price range. Got a Zalando voucher for my bday and am in the mood for some shopping and glamour to celebrate the end of this pandemic! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the dress I liked, it doesn't actually look that expensive on the first look, but I can see why it is, with all the lace. I just love the cut of it, the asymmetric and wide skirt, that's a style I really like. Anyway I remembered I have a dress that's cut a bit like that, I'd just have to lose 10kg until October to be able to wear it again, lol! (might be easier to scratch together the 3000€ ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here 🙈 I’m so happy Mika decided to announce this concert way in advance, now we have several months to try to squeeze ourselves in our dresses! In fact it's still the pregnancy pounds. 🙈 ... I did gain some weight during the first lockdown, but at some point since then I became friends with my Crosstrainer and significantly reduced the constant 'Frustessen' of chocolate & other unhealthy stuff, and so now I'm on a good way. The dress I'm talking about already sat tight at times pre-pregnancies tho, so I don't have much hope to get there within a few months. You're right tho, it's a good motivation. It can't hurt to try. Well, I do have a dress that fits. But I'm bored with that, it's the "little black dress" classic, and I want something a bit more glamorous now. Besides, there are 2 gigs, so I'll need 2 outfits, lol! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m afraid of being overdressed, but also afraid of being underdressed! We all need to coordinate! *panic mode In Montreal there was a good mix, and also if you watch Sinfonia Pop you can see people's outfits range from evening gown to fan shirts. Don't worry we don't need to coordinate, we'll just represent everything that Mika is. As for me, with more glamorous in this case I mean a bit more interesting than just a black dress. Some colour and/or sequins, glitter, stuff like that. Add some bling to it. Maybe I'll just buy a sequined bolero jacket to the dress, I don't know. Or a coloured dress. Anyway I suppose when we really decide on our outfits closer to the date, several of us will also share them here and then we can compare whether our chosen outfit feels appropriate. Personally I'm not worried to be overdressed or underdressed, I won't turn up in a ballroom dress and neither in stonewashed jeans and Mika fanshirt - and anything that's fitting for a cocktail party or maybe a wedding (bride and bridesmaids not included) is also appropriate for a symphony concert, imo. And as I said, even IF some of us turn out to be over- or underdressed, it's just how we are and that's what's important in Mikaland. Feel good with what you're wearing and wear it with pride. If someone who always wears jeans and T-shirt and feels uncomfortable in dresses decides to wear a dress because they think they should, but then feel uncomfortable all evening and can't enjoy the show, that's certainly worse than turning up in Jeans and T-shirt. I think these things have also been discussed at length in the Montreal, Como and Florence symphony gigs pre-show threads, in case you have time to look it up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxi, midi or above the knee? The black dress I have and that I've been wearing for one of the Montreal symphony gigs was 20€. Calf-length. As I said, I could imagine wearing a sequined jacket to it, but not like rainbow colours, just either glitter OR colourful, I suppose both would be too much. But that's all just me, as I said in my previous post, do what's comfortable to you. What would you wear to a formal occasion like going to the opera or attending a wedding as a guest? That's what I base my decisions on, and even the answer to these questions can be very individual for every person. Ooh, btw I just remembered I have those suede boots with REALLY high heels that I love but that I can hardly walk in ... well I can but my feet aren't too happy about it. - I've been wearing them in Montreal and they'll surely be an option for October... I have to take advantage of having to stay seated all evening, lol! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right, I really love this thought. Anyone can interpret the way they’d like, but still have to feel comfortable. I had a friend whose father was part of an orchestra and we went to one of the concerts. I dressed in a brown/black cocktail dress right above the knee after coordinating with the family. Dresscode was “cocktail” at this classical concert, so that was very clear and easy to follow. I read somewhere the dresscode at Como was “creative black tie”? That sounds more festive and colourful! And also like Mika, because he dressed that way himself 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
