How would you accessorise this dress please?

[Crutchlow35]

I never thought I'd ever find anything in Jaques Vert, yet alone Debenhams but I did today and it fits beautifully. It is purple. The only thing is that I don't know what shoes or bag or jewellery to wear? Races day and then 3 upcoming weddings.

I have a grey suede oversized clutch. Would that work?

dress

nude shoes, pearl choker?

Or a chiffonny type wrap?

I think grey would look great or nude as four forks says. Navy or black would make it a bit stiff I think ?

yes

Crutchlow, is the colour navy or a deep purple? Hard to tell on my shitty screen.

I would go for a real pop of colour - yellow or coral; but grey would be safe. When you say oversized - how big is your clutch? What shoes do you have or are you going to buy new ones - I wouldn't go for anything too fussy and in terms of jewellery I'd keep it minimal too - you've got lace on the dress which means you don't need too much else.

It is purple.

its very nice! going somewhere special? nosy

I don't have nude shoes. Only black or red.

this is the clutch

I also have another clutch. Not as big in a sort of stone, cream colour.

Nude, grey or matching purple. Or a contrast like bright fuschia.

Would ditch the jewellery as it's got lace round the neck- go for earrings in silver and silver bracelets.

that bag looks a little too casual for the dress, but I think the colour would go well.

Corporate day at the races next week. I was so surprised to get this and it was down to a really young girl in debenhams today encouraging me to try this on and one other. She really is a credit to them. She could only have been about 20. I never have good experiences in debenhams!

It's a really good choice, you'll have a fab time.

Agree, with that neckline I would wear big earrings and a big bangle or cuff.

I wouldn't wear the clutch you've linked too - I think it's too casual and the tassel doesn't go with the style of the dress.

If choice is black or red shoes I would go black, but bare legs or nude tights.

I have ordered some nude suede shoes online so will see what they look like when they arrive. Thanks.

not fuchsia

grr at pop of colour cliche

What a super frock!

I wouldn't wear a necklace, let the lace neckline stand out clearly.
Earrings and a bold bangle would work best.

I don't think your bag goes well with the frock, its too folksy, you need something more sleek. If you are going to wear black shoes, get a black bag as well.

I don't think red shoes would work. With black shoes and bag, acid yellow or turquoise bangle and earrings could look good for a bright pop.

Thank you for your kind comments

These are the shoes I have ordered. shoes

Not sure about a bag yet but happy to see any suggestions!

in nude or silver? they're great

Be sure to spray the shoes with protector if you keep them - nude suede will be trashed in moments on grass at races/weddings!

What about the blue version of the shoes? Could work well with the dark purple. Bit of contrast but not eye popping, order in different colours, see what works best and send back what doesn't!

The shoes arrived today (how quick are next?). I don't like the colour. It is quite a yellowish nude and agreed, they would be trashed quickly. I have some time for shopping on Saturday so will try then. Thanks everyone.
