   I guess it depends on how much skin is showing. I like mine. It has a modest neckline and short sleeves, though I guess it does fit a little slim. Anyway, isn’t tarty okay once in a while? ;)

   As someone who adores red, I’m definitely in the red-dress camp! I think it depends on the cut of the dress and the personality of the wearer; red is such a “loud” color that you can’t hide when wearing head to toe red. I know I personally have to be in the right mood to wear a red dress (confident and not wanting to just “blend”). ;)

   My all-time favorite color to wear is red, along with blue! I’m kind of a quiet person, so red really speaks for me when I wear it :) I think it can look beautiful and feminine with the right fabric and pattern choice, and of course, it’s a fantastic accent color!

   I like the effect of red dresses on other women–depending on the skin revealed it can look tarty or just flirty. But I can’t myself wear red, as it emphasizes the pinkness in my skin and I end up looking like a big red tomato. I go more for garnet or mulberry or fuschia (which you wouldn’t think would work, but the blue tones in it balance my own pink/red tones). That’s how I do “red”.

   I love reds, specially solid. I must have 4-5 red skirts and I wear them regularly, but for some reason no dresses and only 2 pieces of fabric in my stash. I dont know if you’ve seen the red V1206 from http://asewnwardrobe.blogspot.com/2011/01/vogue-1206-red-wool-kay-unger-ruffle.html but that’s an awesome dress!

   I love red dresses! Red is one of my favourite colours and never fails to bring a smile to my fave. My mother always said that a lady’s wardrobe is not complete without a red dress and a pair of red shoes.

   I love red too – especially in the winter time and at Christmas.

   I love red dresses! They’re one of those things that can instantly make you feel more feminine, sexy, happy, and confident.
   I reckon tarty is more about the style than the colour. (But then, I am somewhat biased towards red. ;-)

    I’m not normally a ‘red’ kind of girl; I like to look cute in my creations, but I think red is very “look at me” and makes a strong statement.
    I think it’s a gorgeous color and I’m slowly incorporating it into my wardrobe, as I gain more and more self confidence. :)

    I love red, I look great in it and I think bright colors are great for the mood
