What shoes/ bag would you put with this dress?
Just bought it but no idea what to pair it with. For summer weddings.
TIA.

bag

(Sorry have now departed from reality or whether OP actually wants orange. Now just in my own expensive fantasy :))

Tbh I'd say, 'No' to a wrap. Wraps are pretty frumpy (imvho) and VW most certainly isn't! I'd worry about a cardigan, for the same reason.

Sorry to hijack - I wondered how tall you ladies with vw dresses are? I love vw and would like to buy a dress (been looking at the Pax one I think it is) but Im 5' 3" and reckon a lot of her dresses would completely swamp me, unfortunately! Any tips most appreciated, Im not near a store to go trying things on.

Love that dress OP, you'll look fab Smile

I think the right cardie can be v. chic in a chanel-y way but that is just me - I don't do jackets.

Guy - am only 5'2 and the one dress plus two skirts I have are all fine, length-wise. Wish I had more, to give you a better considered answer!

I have just bought the same dress as the OP this weekend but in black/white/purple ( reduced to 141 quid luckily at House of Fraser - loads of reduced VW there but online only). In my search for a dress to wear to weddings I have tried on almost all VW dresses from this "season". I am only 5'3 ish and would have worn them all part from a ruched black and white one with gold panels which was a bit long. I have 3 older dresses which are also fine. Good for shorties I would say...I even wear my jersey ones with flat shoes sometimes.
