No I wouldn't. Too close in colour. Go for a contrast.
What's ivory dress like? What's occasion?

Agree.the clash would ruin both dress and shoes. Try a more definite colour or even a natural leather depending on dress style. Have you got a picture?

Oh it's lovely very pretty. You are not clueless. Try some girly stroppy sandals with a pashmina or scarf or bangles or something in the same colour. Go for what suits you, not pastels or black though

I would either go for ivory, or a bright pop of colour (hot pink, purple, royal blue). Are you a bride/ bridesmaid? Lovely dress!

Bride! But it's a small thing so I want to keep it low key.

Funny my first instinct was purple and these are lovely grape phase eight heels

I would then get a few purple flowers and wear as a wrist visage if low key look wanted.

That dress is gorgeous btw you you are def not clueless. Think I'd go for the purple for a contemporary and low key look or match the right shade of ivory for more bridal look.

You can definitely wear those lovely grey shoes. Floaty dusky pinks, taupes, ivories, fauns etc all over spring runways.
