I have bought this dress to wear to my sister's wedding and I need some accessories. I'm SHIT at this sort of thing Blush. I bought it because it unbuttons and I'll still be bfing DS2.

I thought perhaps a red cardigan? What shape of cardy would keep in with the 40s vibe of the frock and flatter a heft size 18/5'11" type person? And shoes - aargh. Red shoes = too much? I don't like big heels because they make me walk (and look) like a tranny

Cheers for any advice!

I think I'd go with black, rather than red, as there could be a bit much red with the dress (which is v nice) and cardigan. And it opens up more possibilities re the shoes.

I was going to suggest a neat cropped type cardigan. But then saw that you need to be able to BF, so this sort of cardigan (with a bit of fabric at the front) might give you a bit more privacy?

Will come back re shoes in a minute

This sort of thing?

Thanks so much! Those shoes could be perfect - I have wide feet...

I already have a black cardy (too scruffy though) so will try them on together and see how they look

Pashmina? Works better with bfing than cardi?

A wee cropped cardy, thus, or a pashmina I'd say.

black (wide fit) wedges or courts and a red clutch ?

patent courts wide fit again
