dress

uk.geox.com/product/Sibilla-Sand-Sandals-Femail-Sandals-Geox_178587.uts shoes I like the style but don't know if they are 'old lady' and I am 33]]

I like the full skirt idea of the dress if anyone can suggest alternatives! Any 5' 6" and 9 and a half closer to ten stone!

I like the style but the colour is a bit much, or would be for me. They seemto have another similar one in beige?

The dress is lovely, I like fit'n'flare styles. The link to the shoes seems to be broken, can you describe?

I'm the opposite of House! I love the colour of the dress and think it is a lovely style too. Can't get the shoes link to work. I love bright colours so beige is never an option for me!

Go for the pink! Be brave. Everyone will be wearing beige and nude. Be different!

Dress is fabulous. Love love love it!

Shoes are a big no from me. I'd go for a less fussy wedge maybe?

Yes that link works. The shoes are nice, but I'm not sure if they go with the dress. If you go with the coral colour (which is beautiful) a plainer shoe in a nude/ beige is right, but I think the gladiator straps are too much next to the pattern of the dress.

Shoes are a no no from me. Sorry! I'd go for a high heel court shoe in nude, no platform just plain and pretty. A bit Kate Middleton-y.

If the dress is so bright etc you need very simple elegant shoes.

I bought that same dress last week, very flattering and more of a raspberry pink I would say. Just to add I'm 42!! Size 14, if that helps decision

Also I plan to wear it with my cream/gold irregular choice shoes,if that helps.

So would the 'Kate Middleton* LK Bennett shoes look too much with it, ie I wanna be Kate?

lovely dress. Wedges a bit clunky so looked on Dune website and saw some nice sandals. Link above.

KM style nude heels would be perfect with that dress (which is lovely).

Link not working. Sandals are called Fenchurch.

Fantastic dress, don't buy beige, go for red, it'll look amazing.

According to the magazine I was reading yesterday the nude shoe look is very definitely last year, and bright shoes are IN. There were some gorgeous almost turquoise suede high heels from Zara that looked fab. I would go the bright colour locking route with that v lovely dress.

So are tan shoes out or is it just nude? Confused

I bought these carvela tan wedges after a MN thread.

Any chance they would be ok?
