I bought a long purple dress a few months ago, but I think it might be too warm. So I ordered this one yesterday I'm just always wary about clothes from the internet, because I can't try it on before buying - they say the fabric is Chiffon, which should be light and fluffy, but if it doesn't feel good or if it doesn't fit, I'll send it back. Fingers crossed, because I really like how it looks on that photo. What a beautiful dress, Karin! That color will be lovely on you! I'm so jealous of those of you going to this -- seems like quite an elegant affair! Like Michelle said, we definitely need a group pic! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Do you think we'll be getting up to dance? I'm just wondering if an ankle length or hi/lo hem might be more practical than a full length gown. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is just me (and I am not even going! ) I was looking for one, but couldn't find any short ones I like. I guess I could as well wear the dress I've been wearing in Cattolica - who defines anyway what's a summer dress and what's a cocktail dress? If the green one doesn't fit, I also still have the shorter black one I've been wearing for the first Philharmonie gig (minus the glitter jacket), or a flowery cocktail dress / summer dress. Anyway I don't mind long skirts also in the heat, if the fabric is light. The long purple one I have has an underdress that is a quite warm fabric (some polyester), and it has short sleeves, so the shoulders are covered - which I find the biggest problem when it's hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I was wondering about these (ignore the bouquet 😅) but I'm not sure they're glam enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one doesn't look that elegant (at least not the way the model presents it), but the first 2 are perfect! I especially like the 2nd one (could that be because of the fluffy skirt?! ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the biggest question what to wear..do you guys think an elegant trousers is a no go? That's for sure a big YES! The first rule I've learned at the styling classes was to choose the outfit according to our body shape and personality, that's the most important. And if you know that the trousers are for you, then go for it! On 7/16/2023 at 11:48 PM, mellody said: So we all know what Prisca will be wearing, but how about the others?

Hero Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Ok, I can't get those other dresses delivered in time (plus some dodgy reviews for their returns policy). So I've just bought this, will get it Saturday. Hope it fits! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Chiffon but Tull, with a really warm and heavy underdress, and impossible to put on myself because it's fixed with laces at the back. I struggled to just try it on - no way I'm gonna wear that in Monaco! So I might go for the long purple one, or the shorter white one with flowers, or maybe a shorter black one... hmm...

mellody Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Btw, is there any info about how long the event will go? Like, when the concert is over, is there still a party in the venue or does it close soon after? I somehow imagine Monte Carlo to be a nightlife place where all the restaurants, bars and clubs are open all night, but no idea really... maybe the rich people go to party on their yachts after midnight.

Asked them and they said No, there's no place for dancing and not allowed to get up, probably for not obstructing the view of others. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
