dress doubts - MoB

Hi there,

I am MoB and being very MSE I have found an outfit on e-bay!:money:
I was surprised as I expected to have quite a search being a plus size!
My daughter is getting married in August in botanical gardens in the med. and I am not sure this will do. One moment I love it and think it's ideal the next I'm not sure, thinking perhaps I should have something brighter?
What do you think?

    I think that looks lovely....

    What colours is your daughter having for her theme?

    Is that beads on the flower detail bit - they look a bit lilac-ish in the photo?
    Why does nobody say Thank You anymore??:mad:

    I think its rather lovely! I don't think you need to be 'bright' for that environment at all.
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:

    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    Aw thanks girls, I knew you wouldn't let me down!
    The bm's will be in a sort of aqua/turqouoise/teal blue and the flowers are orchids so a hint of pink. The bm's will have wrist corsages and fans.

    The dress is a dark silver (almost pewter) with little burgundy flowers and the ribbon trim is silver grey.
