I have a christening next week so I've bought a dress. It's knee length. I have the shoes but I'm having a leg dilemma...
Bare legs? Bearing in mind that I'm as white as a white thing and I don't do fake tan.
Tights? Apparently nude tights have to be matt and not sheer... are black tights too wintery?
This is why I wear trousers! 
Any help gratefully received!  |

I wear black opaque tights pretty much all year round, so I don't think September is too early for them. Otherwise you can get some really natural looking nude tights now, they don't have to be like the shiny 1980s ones  |

I only own black opaque tights so that's my usual fall back but the dress is black down one side and white down the other with a whole pile of red flowers in the middle (which makes it sound hideous!) 
Can I still do black but make them 15 denier rather than 150? |

"I won't do tights so I would have bought a longer dress 
Normally I do too... but I couldn't find a long one I liked and I'm trying to avoid my signature black!  "
What about red legs to go with the flowers?
It sounds too smart for leggings? |

Yep. I also own a few pairs of 15 denier tights with a seamed back so they look like Cuban heeled stockings but are much easier to deal (pulling them on like tights means the seams stay straight and there are no suspender clips to contend with). Including a couple of pairs of very matte nude ones with a black seam. |

I went to a christening the other weekend and wore knee length dress with Matt nude tights. It doesn't look like I have any on in the pictures. Spend bit more and they look natural but take away that pale leg edge. |

"I'm a sucker for really brightly coloured tights, what colour is the dress?
Black, white and red"
Either black with red seams or nude with red seams would look great x |
