Please help me accessorise dress for wedding - having doubts about bargain sale dress but stuck with it

[jumpyjan]

I bought a dress in the reiss sale in the winter for an early summer wedding here and am now not sure about it. I do still like it but think it needs accessorising well to set it off. It really needs a belt but not sure what type/colour and was also considering a pashmina.

I was wondering about pink accessories - I would say the dress is a dark mink colour.

DH will be unimpressed if I announce I need to buy another dress so grateful for any help in making me feel happier about this one

I'd go with really bright shoes (pink, yellow, blue, whatever you like) for shoes with quite a chunky heel and a clashing / contrasting clutch bag.

Dress looks lovely

I rather like it! Are you sure you need/want need a belt? Had a quick look and found it with one here, TBH I think it spoils the line and flow.

What sort of budget? Do you need a hat?

Oh, and how old are and what colouring?

I think bright pink too!

I've got these in the magenta which would look fab with your dress.

Hmmm...I'd be wary of adding a belt due to the pleats.....it may make them wonky/stick out. If you need a belt, i'd go for a very think one, tide a little loose around the waist.

quirky pink skinny belt
metal loop belt to add a bit of decoration to the front od the dress
hot pink patent heels

I'm also not sure it will look better with a belt -- think it will look great without one.

purple, red or metallic maybe
yy to pashmina, y to belt unless you are vv skinny, high heels, clutch. none nee to be expensive
lovely

I like the dress. I personally would think about wearing more sculptural jewelry with it- see here for inspiration. Just a necklace or a bracelet, though, not piles of it!

Yes a dramatic cuff would be good.

I wouldn't belt it personally.

Thanks all. I had not thought about bright pink.

The thing is in the pictures I think it is pinned back to give a waist but it actally look v square and loose.

To answer questions I am size 12 so sadly not super skinny. Colouring is blonde hair and fair skin and I am mid thirties.

mrsc those shoes are gorgeous. Thanks for the belt links madam that was the kind of thing I was thinking but was doubting myself and wondering if I should of been going for a wide belt.

I do like the big jewellery and have a metallic cuff bracelet which might work.
