To ask for help with this dress?

I have fallen in love with this dress for a wedding but I need something to wear with it like a jacket for warmth and I cannot think of what would work. If I can't find something I think I'll have to freeze and wear it on its own. Please help!

light weight thermals!

Perhaps a smart white blazer?

This one is a Linen-blend jacket from H&M for £34.99

I was thinking white (faux) fur but this might be a risky choice.

If you have time, you could take the dress into a store and ask a sales assistent to help you find something suitable.

This chiffon stole is georgous and is sheer so would show off the dress

@Hahaha88, stole might be the wrong word. I’m thinking of something like an elbow length cape.

That's gorgeous. I want it! Plain pashmina in one of its colors?

Hollyhobbi · 24/09/2019 21:27

I could see the Duchess of Cambridge in that dress! Maybe Google her and see if she has any stoles or pashminas over a dress to get more ideas?

Hahaha88 · 25/09/2019 08:33

Thanks so much for all the ideas :) off to look into some of these options

I love that dress!!! You're going to look amazing.

Would you mind posting the link to where you found it?

CatalogueUniverse · 25/09/2019 09:04

If you want warm you need a velvet cape. Would look stunning.

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 25/09/2019 09:05

Is it a winter wedding? If so I would wear a fur coat or jacket over it.

If it is not wear a blazer

Hahaha88 · 25/09/2019 10:51

Soon2be it's from simply be Currently on sale but not many sizes available www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/joanna-hope-stretch-beaded-maxi-dress/vw459/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=1029#colour:Duck%20Egg,size:

It is a winter wedding. I'm thinking something fur or feathers or a stole

I think the Debut faux fur shrug that IAmBumblebee suggested would look the best!

AtLeastThreeDrinks · 25/09/2019 12:18

Nothing to add except that's such a gorgeous dress! Perfect for a winter wedding. @Stravapalava's cape would go beautifully.
