Help with a cardigan/jacket/cover up

I'm going to a wedding evening do in June, the dress I want to wear is a shell pink sparkly shift dress, very thin and light. Almost bacofoil material! (but in a good way!!!)
It's a very relaxed wedding, the bride is quite hippy and it's in a field so I will be wearing flats with the dress. But I need something to wear to cover my horrible arms.
Any ideas? I was thinking maybe a kimono type thing but not sure on colours!

Something lacy and knitted? these very pretty But I am a bit of a knitwear addict!

The dress is quite edgy, I don't think any of those would work!

All of those French connection ones could work but are wayyyyy over my budget!! The dress is from primark after all Wink
The other two are far too structured and boxy for my f cup boobs! Grin

Carrying on the pink theme

This might work

It reminds me of Laura Whitmore's dress from the Brits a couple of years ago. I was there, from what I recall she wore a cream/mink leather jacket when off camera. Would that be too much edgy for this occasion?

Ooh someone wore this at a wedding I went to recentl, it was such a great shape, it would look really cool with that dress

I think the silver knit one could work, thanks!

I was thinking leather jacket, but didn't think about a cream/mink colour, and thought black was not right for a wedding. Will look into both!

Love that Zara Cape, would have to try it to see if it covers my arms well enough!

Thank you all for your great suggestions!

Oooo I think that boohoo one could work actually, and it's much more my budget! Thanks Grin
