Piffle · 13/08/2010 12:33

here It is the strapless one in the pic

I don't know what to do
I need a cropped cardi or bolero ish type thing over the top and shoes
Waht colours?
I've tried the usual suspects and aside from finding a fab pair of bright red shoes at Toast I then struggle with a cardi type thing

Oh I'm getting married in it to so want to look halfway decent
TIA

Oh Fabulous!

Congratulations!

What a brilliant dress!!!

I think you need the same colour cardi as the shoes. A cropped cashmere one, I think.

Do you have a link to the shoes

I think the same as Lynette. Red shoes and cardi maybe?

It might be hard to get a perfect match

Ah curses.

Why did you have to link to get cutie, I am in love with that site!

Great dress, red shoes sounds good. I'd go for a crop sleeved black cardie, fairly short, one button

When are you getting married?

I would stay away from black (I don't like colour and black) but I think you should have the same colour shoes and cardi. Either red or purple.
