What sort of shoes would you wear with this dress?

[CollectorOfCookbooks]

Just bought this dress to wear as a bridesmaid at a wedding in early November.

Wedding is all in one venue, so no need to go outside, I'll be carrying a teal bag, with a teal pashmina and hair flower thingie.

No idea what sort of shoes to go for - black, obviously - but want some that aren't too high as I'm over 6' tall, and fit with the overall 'flapper'ish look. Has anyone seen a pair that would go?

Also, my friend thinks I should wear black tights with it - I think that would look darned odd and was just going to go with skintoned ones - any thoughts on that appreciated!

Anyone?!

Black tights would look VERY odd with short sleeves, you are right! Will have a look for shoes and get back, price?

Hi there, yes black tights is a big no no.
Bridesmaids shoes are unlikely to be worn again so don't spend a lot, but black is easier to match than teal.
New look has these

as a mum I am worried you won't be warm enough! hee hee

These would work with flapper look, look quite comfy too! Don't love them, but would work. These look a bit better, but not as comfy for all day,Not quite as flappery, but flat, Excellent, very cheap AND flat.

Thank you very much!! I knew I was right about the tights

I'm really liking the kind of 'grown up mary jane' thing - especially the Carvella ones. I don't want to ruin an expensive dress with cheap shoes, if that doesn't sound too snobby - I'd rather spend a bit more. And I could do with a new pair of black evening shoes :) Thanks, Orange

kweggie the venue is going to be all roaring log fires and heating on so hopefully I'll be ok! I have a black satin evening coat I can wear if I really do get cold

Don't stand too close to the fires in your floaty dress! (lol worrit worrit worrit...)

I wore these my lovely shoes with actual heels recently. They were fabulously comfortable.

I had a picture in mind as soon as I saw your dress and it was the first one in OrangeHorraces link. With skin coloured tights, not black.

Ooh glad you like! Carvella are usually lovely to wear, not to pinchy iyswim. Have fun

That dress is lovely. Lucky you being able to wear an attractive bridesmaids dress.

Love the dress!

Thanks everyone, I have returned, footsore and happy, with these little beauties. Completely not what I was expecting, but look lovely with the dress!

The ones with the straps just made me look chopped off at the ankles

Ooh they're pretty Chris, I saw quite a few like that, but thought I needed more of a delicate heel. Having said that, I'll probably keel over halfway down the aisle now.
