Fun post: pick out a designer dress you could never afford for an imaginary but fabulously fancy NYE party

Here's mine: https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/oscar-de-la-renta-halterneck-embroidered-silk-gown-0400024022263.html



Hair up, strappy sandals, perfect red lipstick. Love the idea of the fringe swishing through a party as I move around, champagne in hand.

How about you?

Kind to my upper arms.

Does it have to be a dress that fits real life me or can I pretend to be skinny?

That color!

Note: I would have to lose a lot of weight, and some years too.

This Carolina Herrera maybe? https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/carolina-herrera-pleated-draped-mini-dress?ID=5823894&CategoryID=1005206#SORTBY/PRICE_HIGH_TO_LOW

Oh ... and ... surfing around NM and Bloomingdale's websites for this, I was like ... What in the 1980s Dynasty is going on here?

This dress worn by Lily James in Cinderella, in darker shades of grey blue with some mauve. No puffs on the sleeves.



Or this dress worn by Romy Schneider in Sissi (right), in a darker shade of blue, and less regimented rosettes.

^ if it was acceptable to wear period dresses all the time, that's what I'd do!
With the corsets in those dresses, I can get my waist down to 24 inches, easy.

+1 absolutely love the fringe in OP but that top would not work on me!

I’ve always been a sucker for delicate sheer illusion necklines.

Ooh, fun.

Real world me: pear shaped with wide hips, big butt and a great bust/neck/shoulder region, so I look for dresses that emphasize the upper body and are more forgiving in the lower half. This one calls to me, and I love the color:
