Have bought this dress but in a different colour (black,blue,green).

www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_61856_547307_-1

Will be wearing it for a graduation ball. Do I need open toe shoe/sandals with it or would closed toe shoes look OK/

Thanks.

Great - I have some lovely black, patent round toe Mary Janes and was hoping someone would say that sort of style would look good. Thanks.

Mmm I think mary janes would look ok. But, not very glamerous. Personally, I would go for something black and strappy.

like this?

closed toe shoes and I think in a pale pink...black may look to heavy for such a light dress iykiwm...

ooppss. Just realised you didn't get pink..

I would still say the "colour" in the dress..so the aqua (or whatever colour your is..?)

Black probably is too heavy - maybe silver or a subtle pewter?

I've ordered these off ebay. For £12 I figured if I don't like them when they arrive. its not the end of the world

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250291090780&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=015

I thought the colour would go with the dress well. And with the heels been a bit "wedge" style then hopefully I'll be able to walk in them

Me likey. But you weren't tempted by the thigh-hgih silver fetish boots also available from that seller?

They've arrived and look really nice and have the added bonus of being comfy! They're not quite as deep a blue as I thought they were going to be and don't quite go with the dress, but they'll be close enough.

Right, off to check out the thigh high boots

thanks for the help.
