Can you help me accessorise this dress?

[lumpsdumps]

I bought this dress to go to a wedding evening on Saturday but am not sure what to wear with it. There will be alot of very fashionable people there and I want a wow factor to it. Please help!

Okay - firstly let me warn you I live in jeans and t-shirts but I would put a splash of colour and my initial thought would be red beads. Its a long shot. hope you get the style and effect you want.

[lumpsdumps]

That's exactly what I live in and so I thought I would go for something different and now am stuck! I did wonder about colour with it.

Red or purple. I got some wonderful shoes in Dorothy Perkins, I'll see if I can find the link.

I will need to wear some tights with it as my legs are a sight never to be seen.

[frustratedmom]

I am there with you on that but I went to wedding friday and as it was so hot ignored the tight thing - result "I can't believe you are so white"

Love the shoes ilove- what about a red bag to go with? Don't know where to find but suggest red clutch or whatever is in these days.

Have a spray tan...tights won't go with that dress. Have it done the day before then shower on the morning of the wedding.

A girl with a plan good luck.

Is it day or evening?

I am just wondering if red is a tiny bit obvious. Are you a slinky young thing? If so, I'd probably go for a load of silver bangles, a pair of Jackie O sunglasses and not an awful lot else. Maybe some jewelled sandals, or some bronze ones.

I think the dress is wow factor enough on its own, really.

[frustratedmom]

That's probably why i thought of it not known for my fashion sense.

[lumpsdumps]

Its an evening do, will be 34 on Saturday, am a size 8 and 5'4"

[frustratedmom]

oh size 8 - I remember being that once - long time ago now. Maybe i will rediscover it sometime.

[lumpsdumps]

tis not my fault I am that size, would love to be curvy, am very envious of ladies with curves and norks!

[lumpsdumps]

What kind of sandals would you think would look good with it?

[janeite]

Am liking the suggestion of silver bangles and silver sandals - keeping it all fairly simple. Red is a bit of a cliche, maybe?

[Podrick]

I would go with black high heeled shoes/sandals and an emerald green clutch plus chunky emerald green bangles

[lumpsdumps]

have a pair of suede black peep toe heels which could be very good with it

[shavenhaven]

dress is gorgeous.

i woul;d also go for simple silver accesories, chunky bracelet and drop ear-rings. you will need a huge pair of shades as well

[frustratedmom]

lumpsdumps just envious - comfort eating ruined my size 8 and would love to go back. Also envious of people with smaller chests - can never get pretty underwear is all clumpy when you big and the bust waist thing makes dresses fit bad.

I will never 5ft4 though would love to be shorter - never happy with what got.
Glad you're getting some good advice and pinching ideas too.

[lumpsdumps]

Us women are very hard to please! Am now not sure what to go for out of the suggestions as I like the idea of the silver sandels and I've got loads of silver jewellery

[geordieminx]

I have these they are more silvery in RL

[Clure]

silver - love these with something like this

[Clure]

black - these these or thse
with black clutch bag. Keep jewellery simple, some silver bangles
