Hi

Someone linked These dresses a while ago ...and i love them. I especially like the 'Dixie Blue' one but im rubbish with matching up clothes/shoes... so what shoes would you wear with this dress?? I also need the netting stuff to go under the dress - what colour would you get (there are some on the next page i think) and what length do i get???

It is an evening reception in May - is this dress even ok to wear at a reception??? ...any other suggestions for whole outfits?????

I don't like halter neck
Think i suit most colours
Nothing long
Have long dark hair, i am 38, 6 foot (like heels but noting too high!) and size 10/12 - bum and hips being the largest area!!

Thanks !!

beautiful dresses!

Slug I was going to link them they have such fab shoes and would really suit the dress style.
I would go the whole way and get your hair done in the style of the era also you would look fab

I have a pair of those shoes. I wear them with a 40s style swing dress. They are guaranteed to get admiring comments.

I have the bossy bunny ones and thinking of getting 2 pairs for the summer instead of 20 cheap pairs
I live in hope that DP never realises the extent of my shoe collection [cblush]

Jenna plain and simple for the bay and the jewellery, or perhaps simple pearls

Havingkittens · 30/04/2011 22:42

Being a non heel (but possibly wedge) wearer, I have been coveting both of these for some time now these or these

or maybe something from Miss L Fire (they do very cute 50s style lucite bags too)
