Here it is

I am a dumpy size 20 but it is quite forgiving (or it will be by the time I have poured myself into some industrial underwear). It is for a wedding. I am torn between nude heels and a black clutch, as I also have a black feathery/fascinatory/disc hat thingy (but too black for a wedding?), or abandoning the fascinator thingy and going for red heels and bag.

Any ideas/suggestions/links appreciated, budget fairly small :)

Oh, thats lovely.
I'd wear black shoes and black accessories but then I do like black

Also I have milk bottle (moderately shapely but chunky) legs so will need tights ... :/

Is black not too funereal for an August wedding?

I think black would be too funereal definitely. Red might tip it towards tarty with the lace. I would go for something like turquoise perhaps?

Turquoise shoes?! Shock

I'm really sorry, that sounds really negative and I didn't mean it to :)

I think it's georgeous and will look fab with nude heels, if you feel confident in then it wear it. Smile

I love that dress its gorgeous. I'm afraid I'm not keen on those shoes though. I would go for killer heels! I like the idea of red and a cherry red lippy too. You'll look smokin' :) :)

I'd be inclined to wear black shoes, these any good?

MrsLettuce · 13/07/2014 21:11

Might be on grass so wedges might be better. What about these?

I'm starting to think the dress is just not a summer wedding sort of dress. I agree black is best with it but it feels too severe. Hmmmm. I got it for a tenner on a sale rail and decided it would save me dress shopping, now I'm not so sure!
