sorry those links are ridiculously long!

the tan jacket is not nice - the pink is very pretty and the lace is also nice. I think the style of dress would suit the pink better

I agree with the pink one.

Dress is lovely.

No to the tan jacket. Like the pink one, but you may 'lose' the curves of the dress underneath.

I'd def. go for the cream lace one.

Dress is nice and I like the lave jacket, very different.

i know the tan jacket doesnt really go with the dress - but i just liked it so i thought id see what you said!

It would be for a wedding (i didnt want to mention that in the title!) in july, so i would (hopefully) only be wearing the jacket in church and whilst moving about incase it was too chilly to be sleeveless

No to the tan...

i already have a bright blue blazer from zara - do you think that would go with the dress?

Can you link a pic, need to see the colour

i think its this one little-miss-andrea.blogspot.ie/2011/09/electric-blue-v-20.html

Love the colour but prefer cream lace one for wedding with the navy dress.

thanks eclectic, its probably a bit grubby for a wedding at this stage too!

Lace is nice - looks classy and weddingey. Also like the pink but not the tan

lace, the pink is too shapeless for this dress. I actually like the tan, but for office, not wedding.

I think any jacket would smother that lovely dress. I think you should get a wrap/shawl instead.

Or if you think you really need a jacket, a fitted bolero style might work. Here's one in cotton lace.

Jackets like the tan and bright blue are the wrong shape and also the wrong colour.
The lace jacket is the wrong style.
The pink is too floaty/light compared to the structured dress.

The lace jacket is the nicest but I don't think it goes v well with the dress. Does it have to be that dress, or are you looking for ideas?

I like the dress. What colour shoes / clutch have you chosen? I think the pink jacket looks cheap (& the dress doesn't) The lace one is pretty but you'd need to try it and see what length it hit at as it could be enlarging. I have that Zara blazer too and love it.

Have you seen the dress in real life? if it really is neoprene (ie. wetsuit fabric) it could be quite warm for a summer wedding...

Like the colour of the pink, but the cut of the lace.

Would you consider any of these?

ASOS pink
ASOS ivory
ASOS navy or green
blouson

thanks for all the ideas since i was here last. so a slight difference of opinion from the evening posters!

mewkins - no, ive only seen it on the website. i didnt know neoprene was wetsuit fabric?? not so sure about it now.

remus - it totally doesnt have to be that dress. i was just looking on the DP website as they have tonnes of reasonably priced dresses. im a curvy size 10 , 5"3, blonde , 33 - if you have any ideas!!

I'd go for the lace one, of the three origional links.

However, I also think that as it is July, a stole / pashmina would be much better. I always think the Accessorize ones are the best for price / colour / quality, such as this pink one or this white one

Oh, yes Neoprene is like wet suit material which may be comfy but may also be very warm in summer. Navy is a great colour though, and you are right, DPs have lots of lovely and reasonably priced dresses, just that particular one may well be very warm.

This one may be a bit more comfortable in the warmer weather.

I have a tennis outfit in 92/8 poly/elastane. Also a blouse and a wrap style skirt. It's not just for wetsuits. Very light and comfortable.

gnocchi thats nice, but i am generous of bosom so prefer a vneck to a high neck. all this talk of wet suits is quite putting me off tho i must say.

green v-neck shift dress also avaliable in Navy
