I love that color, but me being a "summer" person I cannot wear it at all!

It's a very pretty dress and I'm sure you'll look good in it!

I used to work in mens retail so I know what I am talking about cause this crosses into the female color stuff too.

LOL - I know I am pale. I could do a spray on tan though.

I think a tan would be your best bet.

I think my sister wants us to go have our hair put up so maybe that will help.

My mom picked out the dress. I was shocked because she is conservative. There really isn't much to choose from that doesn't show some skin.

I was going to suggest a tan also. If you don't tan, you can go and get the spray on tan from the tanning salon. They put you in a booth and it sprays the tan on you. (much better than having a person spray you)

There is also the tanning lotions you can use. Jergens Natural Glow daily moisturizer works great.

The last, and only time I used a spray on tan I found that it wears off unevenly, and was definitely too orangy. Of course, this was the over-the-counter, spray in a can kind of stuff. I'm sure it would be different if you had it done professionally.

Also, if you wanted to try on different hair colors, my friend used this website before changing her hair color, I thought it was kind of neat!

Good suggestions- I would try a little darker makeup- more rose in the cheeks to help with the color- I look horrible in that color too.
