What would you wear on your feet/legs with this dress?

Have bought this dress for cocktails and dinner at Soho House. The photo on the website does it no justice at all. It looks like a shapeless sack on the site but it is a lot closer fitting and finishes mid-thigh-ish. It's a really stunning shade of green - vibrant and rich.

The woman in the store suggested bare legs and peep toe shoes. Having posted on here yesterday, and reading similar posts today, the consensus appears to be that this is a sartorial no-no in December. My preference would be black opaques and either black patent heels or suede shoeboots.

However, have also seen some Wolford sheer barely-there tights which apparently give your legs a great appearance Hmm. So these could be an alternative with say some fab gold shoes?

I would go for the opaques with shoeboots as more weather/season appropriate.

It's a lovely dress by the way, gorgeous colour.

Personally I'd go for black studded or strapped ankle boots - something urban and a bit edgy/fashion forward. Otherwise I think you'll look very provincial in Soho House.

eeeek, I wish I hadn't seen that dress! It is gorgeous!

I'm with apple...opaques and shoeboots will be perfect with this dress.

Love the colour!

Fab. Opaques and shoeboots it is :)

gregssausageroll tis a truly gorgeous dress. It has a whiff of the Abigails Party about it on the hanger/website but nothing like once it is on.

tulpe, you might have read the thread I started yesterday re tights and LBD's...having been shopping today, the assistant in Coast suggetsed either patterened black sheer tights or black opagues...fab dress by the way Smile

Hi Summer. Yep, read your thread yesterday. With an LBD I wouldn't hesitate to put opaques with. However, with the colour of this and the assistant's comments, it gave me a bit of a sartorial wobble. Personally, I wouldn't have even thought about putting the nude tights with the dress - for the exact reason suggested by Stangirl - but its funny how a simple comment can throw you off kilter.
