What jacket with this dress?

[WeAreSix]

Lady V Mocha Polka Dot Dress

What would you put with this dress? I'm layering for warmth (there will be thermals!) and will have a full, cream petticoat underneath.

Shoes are very similar colour to dress like these.

Also, can I wear a hat / fascinator with this style?

I knew I'd change my mind on the Phase Eight dress I bought earlier this year!

Well, you could go for any cropped jacket or fitted 50s style cardigan.

What about a cream / mocha bolero?

Yes you can wear a hat / facinator depending on the style!

Petticoats are lovery and warm, like wearing a light duvet IME.

How about one of these jackets? Or this?

Shoe link isn't working for me I'm afraid...

[WeAreSix]

I was thinking faux fur jacket in cream or a bit darker. I need to be warm :)

Not sure what type of hat thing.

[MrsLettuce]

Hat, yes, pill box is always good with this sort of style. Bee Smith does some nice ones to order in the colour(s) of ones choice.

[MrsLettuce]

Faux fur ia always good. Maybe try Yoox and TKmaxx?

[WeAreSix]

Shoes are mid heel t-bar.

This is for a wedding (should've said, sorry) so need to steer clear of ivory especially for bolero as bride is wearing something similar she's as decisive as me clearly

[WeAreSix]

On PC not phone now, so easier to link!


Jacket like this but classier!

Shoes linky but light mocha, not black.

petticoat

[MrsLettuce]

Perfect! Those petticoats are the best available IMHO - so very soft, full and swishy.

How about this beaded shrug in mocha/brown?

WeAreSix I've just taken delivery of four of those jackets from New Look for my bridesmaids. I'd got one for myself too but I think it's too dark to wear with my dress. It's definitely a dark nude colour - much darker than it looks on the picture.

It's a nice jacket though, I quite like it.

[WeAreSix]

I've just been to MILs and seen the Bride's jacket - this is what she's got

I think I'm going to have to go darker than I'd originally looked at.

Thank you for the link mummylovescakes, I think it needs to be more substantial than that though. I am the coldest person!

[mummylovescakes]

How about this? LK Bennett. A bit pricey but I am sure you'd get lots of wear out of it.

[MrsLettuce]

This might tone nicely - is hard to tell on a screen.

this

I'd be tempted to give this a try too ('cause of the price) but it looks a bit shapeless

[WeAreSix]

I think the LK Bennett is a bit too formal. The dress feels fun and flirty ;)

Love the DKNY, only concern is it looks very shiny! Might order to see what its like in real life. I agree the Next one is a bit Meh. The Yoox link is also a bit shapeless.

I will order DKNY and the New Look one.

Thanks everyone

p.s. anyone know where I can find lovely thick children's petticoats?
