Hi ladies, I need some fashion advice. I picked up this dress for my shower (Nov 10) and the holidays (work party). Since it's pretty chilly in upstate NY now, do you think it would look less classy to wear leggings underneath? I am not sure how I feel about stuffing myself into pantyhose or tights. Also my feet have been swelling so the thought of not wearing anything on bottom is making me feel self-conscious.

I would probably suffer through tights, because of the season and length of dress. Doesn't Motherhood sell tights? I think leggings would be the wrong look unless you wore heeled boots.
I wear tights or pantyhose any time I wear a dressier skirt/dress. I am weird like that. I love that dress-especially the color. You could easily wear a cute black cardigan and black tights or nude pantyhose with that to stay warm.
Love this dress!! and I agree that tights might be your best bet.

I think tights would look best with this dress. Just rem to cross your ankles and not spread your legs like I did!!! ( I was wearing leggings with my dress but photos look awful. Lol)
I would add tights and a cardigan or shrug for the holiday party, but for your shower I would choose something that you are more comfortable in. I would find like a tunic dress or sweater dress with leggings for your shower. Good Luck!
I got a pair of maternity tights and they are comfortable. I thing tights or even a pattern pair like the ones MarBee pointed out would work well :-) pretty dress!

I bought this dress for my cousins wedding last week! It was still warm so I went without tights, but I'm planning on wearing it for my shower and I'll wear tights then. It's super comfy!
I got the same dress and wore it for my shower last Sunday! I absolutely love this dress because its a similar style dress I normally wear (Banana Republic, oh how I miss thee!). I wound up dragging my mother to Destination Maternity so I could buy Spanx pantyhose and they were super comfortable. I initially bought their tights but I really didn't like they way they looked with the dress. I also wore flats even though I wanted to wear my heels so badly...so glad I did!
LuGal623 I bought this dress for my shower too (which also happens to be in upstate NY on 11/9). I plan on wearing tights and a black shrug. You have great taste. ;-)
Thanks ladies for all the sound fashion advice, I will need to go back to Motherhood now on the hunt for maternity tights! I just couldn't see myself stuffing my swollen feet and fat legs into regular pantyhose...but I'm down for maternity ones especially since they are cheaper than I thought.

Re: Shower dress...tights or no tights?

Great choice!

I think it would look cute with tights or panty hose!!
I have no idea what I'm wearing to my shower but I still have a few weeks to figure that out. Mine is scheduled for Nov 23rd.
