Hi. I have a wedding at the end of Feb and have just bought [http://www.lkbennett.com/clothes/ss11preview/DRJASMINE923VISCOSEMIX this dress]]. I already have [http://www.lkbennett.com/shoes/courts/Sledge2_shoe_lighttaupe these shoes]], and a matching clutch.
I feel the dress needs to be "jazzed up",particularly for the evening reception. Suggestions for jewellery? can't do necklaces due to massive norkage!
All suggestions welcome! Thanks.

Pants! I knew those links wouldn't work!
The dress is the Jasmine in Navy,shoes are Sledge in Nude. LK Bennett for those who feel like looking them up.

It definitely needs a necklace, I think. Just a short one, which sits just under your throat. Or maybe a scarf the colour of your shoes/the pattern on the dress.

Also, if your boobs are that big, what made you go for a wrap dress?

Because a wrap dress is ultra flattering for big boobs! It sits beautifully too.
Not even sure if I need to stick to gold type jewellery. I have some lovely Tiffany stuff,but it is silver.Hmm

Wrap dresses make boobs look massive! They're flattering for waists, making them look small, which makes boobs look even bigger, quite apart from the actual wrap detail drawing attention to them. This is, of course, not a bad thing if the dress fits properly Wink

Kikijane,I have to disagree with you on the boob issue! Grin. Look on the Bravissimo website,loads of their dresses/tops have a wrap style around the boobs. Because it is so flattering. And lots of mags/websites say the same!
But,lets agree to disagree on that one. Do you think silver jewellery would look ok with the nude shoes and dress? I'm starting to have shoppers doubts!Confused

I'd go with gold, tbh. And something fairly delicate. And definitely short (for the necklace) in order to draw less of the eye to the boobs.

Unfortunately, I have no need to ever look at the Bravissimo website Envy
