Something to wear over a sleeveless dress please

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Needs to be black and probably cropped. Not a blazer (live in the flipping things at work) and not a cardigan. Any ideas, please?

I'm a bit addicted to them, but would some Wingz work?

Thank you but no. Not my sort of thing. Sorry.

Some sort of shrug or bolero?

I just worry that they look a bit, 'Ancient lady at the opera' though.

Some sort of pashmina?

Nope to a pashmina - would look like a Greek widow.

that Winz website has a bloke modelling one set.

is this too shruggy?

Something like a short kimono perhaps?

Winz?

A bit too shruggy but deffo too blue! Has to be black and prob not sequinned tbh.

Kimono thing is pretty but too long and need plain black.

Wingz

Feathery ? m.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/phase-eight/shrugs-&-boleros/feathered-cape/900706050

Not exactly cropped but nice?

See, I really like the feathery thing but would look an idiot in it - and way too expensive.

Sorry just saw you are not going for the shiny look

I can't do sequins as the dress is already a bit 'busy' on its own.

House of Fraser have a lovely beaded one about 45 can't link for some reason

Don't apologise! Thank you, :)

Can someone explain the wingz to me please!

This one Noddy? Lovely but probably too busy.

Love the feathered one

Buy a dress with sleeves.

Seriously. I'm with you...hate pashminas...they look middle aged. Those "Wingz" things are interesting but the models are a bit amateur and it looks bad because of that.

Buy something else.

Dress is already bought, and I like it. My usual go-to would be a fabric biker jacket, but it's too thick and hot for indoors.

One of my main rules about any new dress is sleeves. It's just not practical otherwise for exactly the reasons here...what about a sort of filmy, thin bolero? My sister had quite a nice one in a beige floaty fabric but it was fitted...

What colour is dress?
