A fashion fan has taken to Reddit to question whether she can reuse a dress she wore to a summer wedding for her work Christmas\u00a0party – with some users saying it’s too summery and revealing.<\/p>\n
The woman from Bristol, who goes by @peregrine_midnight on the app, posted into the PlusSizeFashion thread asking for feedback on her \u00a338 frock.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shared a picture of herself donning an asymmetrical sage green dress, with the material on one side coming down just past her knees, paired with open toe heels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wrote of the\u00a0ASOS DESIGN Curve cowl neck pencil midi dress: ‘Wore this dress to a wedding in the summer. Do you think it would be ok for my work Christmas party?\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Don\u2019t have many dresses that I like. Always feel self conscious in dresses and is hard to find ones to fit my chest and also bum. Thank you.’<\/p>\n

She shared a picture of herself donning an asymmetrical mint green dress, with the material on one side coming down just past her knees, paired with open toe heels<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Reddit user opted for the\u00a0ASOS DESIGN Curve cowl neck pencil midi dress, costing \u00a338<\/p>\n
Users were quick to chime in with their opinions and compliment the dress.<\/p>\n
One Redditor wrote ‘the dress is beautiful, and you look gorgeous in it. In my opinion it\u2019s a bit too summery for a Christmas party. I guess it depends on venue and dress code.<\/p>\n
She suggested ‘maybe you could add darker accessories? like a dark green shawl\/cardigan as well as a darker shoe and some nylons\/tights to make it more winter appropriate’.<\/p>\n
Another agreed ‘Love this dress! Where is it from?’ before advising ‘It\u2019s a summery dress so you\u2019ll definitely want to style it for winter with tights and some layer on top like a cardigan, wrap, faux fur jacket, sparkly blazer or a roll neck underneath if you\u2019re feeling fashion-y!<\/p>\n
‘Style it with whites and silver or gold, think \u201cfrosted peppermint Christmas cookie\u201d!’<\/p>\n
Others penned ‘Would be sooooo pretty with a faux fur jacket omg’ and\u00a0 ‘Yes definitely.. a bit of sparkle needs adding for a Xmas vibe. I love outfits you can wear multiple times in different seasons’.<\/p>\n
However, some users dubbed the frock as ‘too summery’ and ‘too chesty’ for a work event.<\/p>\n
Someone explained ‘I love the dress on you, but the neckline is waaaay too deep and the slit up the side is also a bit too far for a company party’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another added ‘It depends on what you do for a living\u2026. As a summer dress it\u2019s ok but depending on the type of Xmas party, it may be a bit over the top in how revealing it is’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone else suggested ‘I think it looks lovely on you but would look better in a more saturated color’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, one user wrote ‘Too summery for winter. Too chesty, too much leg for a work event’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others gushed ‘I love this on you!! I support you wearing this anytime for any reason’ and ‘Beautiful, but won\u2019t you freeze!!!??’<\/p>\n
One fan of the mint dress, penned ‘Dark green tights, white cardigan (wrap style for some flattering modesty and warmth or maybe something with pearl accents)\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘You could do either copper, pale pink or even red accessories and you are good to go.<\/p>\n
‘Though with your tone I think the first two colours would compliment you well. Think soft pink and copper or rose gold’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another agreed ‘I like it and second the suggestion for winterizing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Some warm tights, a sweater\/coat something and maybe a cute Santa hat!\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘A necklace that has lights or ornaments or fuzzy tinsel type deal to it would be pretty fun!\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Something to make it more Christmas themed would fit right in! Unless it’s a formal work party (how boring) lol’.<\/p>\n
