    Does the colour of this dress suit me?
    So I'm looking to buy a tennis dress, and I tried this one on yesterday. I love the style of it, but I'm really not sure about the colour against my skin... I don't really wear aqua. What do you think? (Sorry the lighting in the changing room was so harsh.)

    It's a nice colour, but can make your skin look pale

    It's fine, but probably best for people with darker skin. That's over-thinking though.

    In contrast to the comments above me I think your skin tone compliments the dress! Good choice.

    I actually am that pale at the moment. :P I don't think it's exaggerating how fair I am...

    Thanks! Haven't bought it yet - was super expensive in-store and I've found it for nearly half the price online, but it's still quite pricey, so I'm umm-ing and ahh-ing at the moment.

    I'm a similar skin tone and I wear aqua a lot, i think aqua (and other bright colours) do to an extent look best on darker skin tones but they can still look good pale people too, and the dress itself is lovely so I say go for it

    hahaha I'm assuming that's the background of the changing room, since she's taking the photo in a mirror :} Your post made me laugh though, I would positive rep you but I've ran out for the day I owe you one.

    I like it on you. I think you're over-analysing it.

    I’ve practiced tennis for 6 years. I think that your clothes should be comfortable. It doesn’t matter what clothes you wear, it is important for you to be comfortable.
