For a wedding - will it be OK? How would you accessorize it? Would navy work?

It looks a lot like a bridesmaid's dress and therefore not something I personally would wear to a wedding.

Sorry 😕

It's a junpsuit - not a dress?

Is it a trouser suit?

Junpsuit = jumpsuit

I love it. Is it green? If so I would accessorise it with silver shoes, bag and an OTT necklace.

I love it. Wish I had the figure for it. I'm crap at accessories- sorry. No idea what colour shoes but it's lovely

It's lovely. I'd go with pale neutral accessories eg bone. Maybe a cropped jacket with 3/4 sleeves?

It's "deep teal" - don't think I have the figure for it either- but will give it a go!

If it's a jumpsuit it's lovely. Agree - pale / silver or gold accessories.

I'm hoping not to need a jacket - indoor venue.

Agree with silver shoes accessories or even gold.

A massive statement necklace (funnily enough I was looking at some fab ones on eBay tonight for much cheapness)

It's been a rough day. I needed a laugh. Thank you :-)

Nothing ventured nothing gained. You gave it a go.

Thoughts on this?? Fits a little too glove like, but have time to sort that. I have a green petticoat, and little navy cardi?? fancy some bright red shoes?

Oh. Nice. Very 50's. Is it your usual style? Red sling backs and black flicked eye liner I'm thinking!

I love that dress. I thought the flared jumpsuit looked like something that would not suit anyone ever, but I'm sorry it didn't work! Returning things is a pain.

Not my usual style but wore a similar ish dress to a wedding last year and got lots of compliments. Can't do flicked eyeliner though. ...
