The teal silk jacket dress came yesterday. It fits fine and really doesn't even need to be hemmed. It has a very nice fitted waist. My only objection is it's too low cut. It doesn't appear to be on the model. Guess it's my build, but the v-neckline is just too low. I think I can remedy it with a nice camisole.

Yes, a nice camisole would not only work, but make you VERY trendy!

Beautiful dress, Kay - and a lovely color.

Yes, the camisole should work. It's a magnificent dress, and you will be beautiful!

Looks pretty low cut on the model to me. Looks to be at least down to the xiphoid process.

Which, by the way, I don't have any problem with! Low cut works fine for me.

The camisole would seem somehow excessive to me...

The model appears to be a bit flat-chested. I don't mind a little cleavage showing, but this is way more than I'm used to. Maybe if I were younger.....

Only about 1 1/2 inches of the camisole will show...just enough to fill in that deep "v".

I say if ya got it, flaunt it! Age is after all nothing more than a state of mind. And I certainly don't mind...

Besides if Hill can pull it off I 'm sure you can do it!

And besides cleavage can be a convenient place to store things...

You just gotta love photoshop and google...

LOL! I see where Fredericks of Hollywood has The Hollywood Extreme Cleavage Collection - pretty inexpensive as well. (You'll have to google it..I'm not gonna post it here!)

Even that wouldn't help me come close to the "extreme cleavage" as shown in your photos.

Too bad I don't have time to order one.

Great plan!

What I really like about that idea is that you can change the look by changing the color of the cami and maybe even the style of the cami. A lace one would be way different than a plain one.

You are going to be fabu in that dress.

What about the other one?

Sorry, Pea for the delay. I'm still in Lousiville with spotty internet service. I just got back online. The other dress is really nice. I like both of them.

I do plan on using a lace camisole with the teal dress. I have 2 weddings coming up in March, so I will probably get to use both of them very soon.

Thanks for all the help!

Lace will be lovely - both black or white will work - with the matching shoes. I think it would be great to have a multi colored cami - with teal as one of the colors.

What jewlery do you plan to wear?

I had so much fun looking for a dress with you.

Guess we could get SC, bb and Hermillon's opinion. I showed them an amethyst necklace I have (do I want to wear the purple with the teal?) I also have pearls and I have a diamond "past, present, future" necklace" (small stones...not big ones).

That's the real stuff....I could probably get something from Natalie's store that would do nicely with the V neck. I'm sure she would fix me up first class with earrings to match.

Alexander Julian started a huge color craze in Charlotte when he designed purple and teal uniforms for the Hornets. Depends on the shades, but they can go together nicely.
