Help - what shall I wear with this dress??

I've got this gorgeous dress for a wedding next week www.frenchconnection.com/product/Woman+Collections+Dresses/71BOD/Desert+Tropicana+Dress.htm

I was planning to wear a blazer with it, but my sister has said it might make it look a bit worky.

I would really like to have something to cover my arms, but what do you think would be best?

Budget as small as possible after splurging on the dress!

Thank you

Lovely dress but don't wear a blazer with it. It needs something softer. I would wear a pashmina type shawl but i am old. I have seen many young women wearing kimono type light jackets. Maybe something like that?

Ohi think a blazer would look good - maybe a waterfall style one? Ill look for a link.

Are the flowers more pink or peach?

A pale pink pashmina would be nice.

Def not a blazer.

Kimono jackets are in. Next have some.

I was thinking pashmina, but not sure what colour to go for and was also worried that they're not in (I really hope that's not the case!)

I've got a few pink ones, so could see how they look. . .

Kimono jackets sound good too, very trendy friends, I don't want to look like the frumpy one!

The flowers are very pink

I think the style is nice but not sure about so much black.

I like it, i would prefer a more slouchy one though as the dress is quite structured.

Myfanwyprice · 08/06/2014 20:36

I also found this, but worried about it being so patterned and also concerned about too much black witchway
