    I've just ordered a pair of gorge shoes that have a peep toe. My problem then is whether to wear tights/stockings or not? I need something on my legs as i have the pastiest legs around! As is the rest of my body! I don't mind being pale but my legs have that horrible blotchy spider vein look too lol! And i will b flashing them at some point whilst dancing i'm sure! I know u can get toeless stockings or tights but would they not look daft as u'd have blatantly obvious differnet coloured toes to your legs? But stockings poking out thru your peep toes surely would look daft as well??? I would just get different shoes but i have very small very awkward shaped feet and find it amazingly difficult to find shoes to fit, they need to be backless or else my feet blister and bleed within the hour :-( any ideas ladies?? xx

    i get blotchy legs and they are soooo pale but i find even usin that dove tinted moisturiser helps them look better im gonna go bare legged il be too hot with tights or stockings n will be even more hard work going to the loo in the dress having to manouvre tights lol! i think im gonna get a slight spray tan tho nothing drastic but wont it be dark by the time u come to dancing noone will notice ur legs or be able to see them properly!

    That's a good point about it being dark actually!! I get horribly sweaty and start to chafe (sp?) with bare legs tho, although stockings wudnt even help with that lol! I don't even bother with spray tans or even the tinted moisturisers, it still looks blatantly fake on me no matter how subtle its supposed to be! I've come to accept my natural white colour lol!!!

    lol i havnt accepted it but iv never had a spray tan b4 so will be going for a trial run! i just find that dove stuff helps with the texture of my skin its kinda bumpy n blotchy but when i use that its so much better but doesnt tan hardly at all!

    U won't see much of ur toes, and ppl will be distracted by the nail varnish. Id go toeless tights, def not open toes with normal tights/stockings

    If its under your wedding dress people won't see your legs so I wouldn't worry tbh xxx

    I think that having a trial of a subtle spray tan is a good idea, thanks for that one kateh3 :) But I would agree that sticking to the toeless tights would be your best idea - no-one will notice the difference in colour so long as you don't go for really dark coloured tights - maybe a natural colour?

    I had normal stockings (cooling ones) with sandals. No one noticed.

    People look at your face, hair and dress not your feet so I wouldn't be worried about it tbh :) xxx

    I wore those tokens tights a couple of weeks ago when I went out for my birthday. You really don't see much of your toes & not being funny but nobody will be directly looking at your feet anyway unless they have a foot fettish hee hee!! I'd get those or just do whatever you feel comfortable in x

    Ladies if your spray tanning wear a white t-shirt to see if it rubs off, the last thing you want is a stained dress.
    Try different tan products and see which works best!

    Or Just cut the end off a normal pair of stockings, buy two pairs and give it a trial run, no one will know the difference..lol
