pics on profile. I need a dress for a wedding and a summer ball. Are they too short for a wedding? Are they not fancy enough for a ball?

What shoes? What to wear over? Help, I'm clueless!

They would be ok for a wedding but not for a ball.

They are both lovely and you have a fantastic figure. I like the pinky/red one - i'd go for that for the wedding. IMO the green one isn't fancy enough for a ball tbh - it looks more an everyday wear iyswim?

Thank you. What shoes do you think for the pinky/red one? I'd definitely need heels to get my legs out like that.

Oh god, I really am clueless. I really liked those dress and they're pretty 'dressy' for me, and now I find out that in fact they're 'everyday'. What kind of thing for a ball then? I've tried on so many already, and the only criterion I've settled on is that it must have straps, I can't spend the whole evening hoiking my dress up.

I'm liking this dress very much for the ball

deemented · 22/04/2011 15:31

And a fantastic price atm too.

Brahbrah · 22/04/2011 15:55

That's lovely deemented, but the reviews seem to say it's a bit long, even with heels. I was hoping for a short dress, but maybe that's where I was going wrong for the ball?

Anyway, I've settled on the pink for the wedding, but really need help with shoes etc. I've got a pale pink wrap that looks good with it, but don't know where to start with shoes.

How about a cocktail dress for the ball? Not necessarily this one but as an idea of a shape.

dexter73 · 22/04/2011 16:26

This is lovely.

why not some strappy sandals with heels in silver maybe? some nice ones around ( sorry no links) think dune has good range at the mo.. sure somebody more with it will come along soon ...

DoubleDegreeStudent · 22/04/2011 19:18

I'd be tempted to go for shoes in either a pale pink or nude to pick out the colours on the dress (the big flower looks fairly pale?) or silver if you want something dressier. How about
these?
these?
these?
these? these last ones are maybe more day-wedding than evening wedding reception, not sure what your style is !
these?

If you're into matching, these look like they might be the right sort of colour?

Brahbrah · 22/04/2011 19:28

Thanks, I was thinking pale pink/nude, but wasn't too confident with my own ideas! I like a couple of those you linked to, going to have to learn to walk in proper heels :)
