Please help me style this dress! I am clueless.

[FelixFelix]

I'm going to a wedding in two weeks time. I've searched everywhere for a dress and finally settled on this navy one. It's just below knee length on me. I am 5ft 5, size 16, pale with long mid brown hair and full fringe.

I don't really wear heels but this dress definitely needs it. I don't even know where to start though? Also some sort of bag. Maybe some other accessories? I'm not sure.

Can anyone please help? I have a £25 gift voucher for New Look that I wouldn't mind using towards something

New Look have some great shoes - what about one of these:

Black

Also comes in nude

More black

Gold glitter

I like this pink

Shit - I thought your dress was black.

I'd go for the gold in that case.

Ooh thank you. That's a shame as I really like those nude ones! Sling backs are a no-no for me. I have some weird thing about them. And kitten heels

What colours go with navy? Would mustard go? It's a bit 70s isn't it which is the kind of thing I like. What about burgundy red?

If you like 70s, these are gorgeous and would look amazing with that dress.

Tethers they are amazing!! Too expensive for me though as I'd never wear them again I wonder if I can find a copycat version?

too high?

I love them too! Too high though I never ever wear heels and will have my 14 month old dd to contend with too. I think I like a chunky heel/platform though so we are getting somewhere

these are great but very high and only available in black I don't think I'll get a chunky heel/platform combo that's not too high though will I?

Sorry for multi posts! I would go for something bold, coral, orange.

Not sure really chunky would be ideal, maybe go and try some different styles on.

I like the first ones from Next. I think coral is a good colour. Need something a bit jazzy to brighten the whole dress up I think

I was just looking at these but they are a bit bright for me Also can't tell if they are actually horrendous or fabulous

I'm in the horrendous camp - they look very Aintree.

Felix some kind of snazzy belt might go well with dress?

And horrendous for me too, sorry!

pretty floral shoes and a
pink bag?

Thanks for steering me away from the horrendous

The dress is like a wrap dress that is ready wrapped if that makes sense! But it has a belt attached that you wrap around twice and tie.

Funny you should link those floral new look shoes as I keep looking at them. I wasn't sure if they would go or not? Might see if they have them in store so I can try on.

Could you just wear something really plain like these then spend the rest of your voucher on a bold necklace? Or are these too high?

I love the dress by the way and am seriously considering purchasing it either in navy or green…. is it nice quality?

I was thinking something like this with the nude shoes - too much for you??

You should go and try on though, different tastes and all that, I personally think the floral shoes are horrendous but I know some people will think that about the necklace I linked to!!

THere are tons of necklaces! I think the reason I like your dress so much is that it's simple and elegant so you can be brave with something like a necklace!

I really like the second bright shoes you linked! I've seen some plain court shoes from new look which come in an array of colours that I'm considering. I was looking at necklaces but the neckline of the dress is quite a narrow V shape and quite drapey so I'm not sure if one would work or not.

It's a really lovely quality dress, I'm so glad I ordered it. It was a toss up between that one and another but I know I'd wear this one again and can dress it up or down. Definitely order one! The sizing is very accurate too.
