Is this dressy enough for a wedding?

Love this dress but not sure if it's dressy enough. Was thinking navy accessories and nude shoes?

Of course it is. It's lovely.
However I do agree about the shoes and do I dare say. They don't really match. A nice Red pair of stilettos would be nice a long with a nice red clutch bag

lovely dress but please no nude shoes! you need a contrast colour to pick out colours of dress eg blue or pink and possibly patent.

leave fascinator and get brighter shoes from Ebay. I've done this before very cost effective and lots of dressy shoes there.

Roseybee10 · 10/07/2015 12:01

I find buying shoes really hard as I have really wide feet and find most heels so uncomfy. I generally buy new look wide fit peep toes but they don't seem to have any in the right colour that I can walk in so may have to just settle for the shoes I have.

Ok have had look on eBay and few
Possibilities but not sure on which colour. It's not as vibrant in real life. So far I've got red, purple and green possibilities.

This is me in dress btw

yes the dress certainly is more red, purple or green possibilities.

there are quite a few for example purple wide fit shoes on Ebay and you can return:-

by the way scrap the opinions re fascinator - if you like it then wear it! Smile

the dress looks terrific on you by the way. Smile

Your figure is amazing

Those shoes look so nasty though. Especially with the ankle strap. Non, nein, niet. You need high heeled court style in a bold colour with bag. And if you're doing fascinator get a modern one

GoodToesBadToes · 10/07/2015 12:49

Here is a modern fascinator

Roseybee10 · 10/07/2015 12:51

That's the kind of fascinator I was planning on going for :-)

Bit harsh to say my shoes are 'nasty' though :-( I've worn them a lot and now feel like people must all be sitting judging me.

Thank you for the complement though.

Those are perfect op

Roseybee10 · 10/07/2015 13:36

Worried about getting a bag in the same shade but I do love them.

GoodToesBadToes · 10/07/2015 13:41

Nobody would be judging you. They'd all be thinking bloody hell I wish I had a figure like that.

Also I am hamming it up about the shoes for dramatic effect. They're grand really Wink

I saw some nice shoes out & about yesterday. Will post a link

Lol sorry. Prickly and hormonal.

I loooove those shoes. Totally love the Carrie shoes they're based on. I'd just never squeeze my stupid fat feet into a pointed court. I think this is why shoes stress me so much. I'm actually a size 4 but often need a size 6 to accommodate my wide feet then walk out of them, hence ankle straps lol.

SuperFlyHigh · 10/07/2015 15:32

its a pity the shoes are not your type OP. I don't think your feet are fat just wide so you need to think more...

but that's probably a question for another day get something nice in meantime for wedding.

I prefer ankle straps to be honest but because I have narrow feet.
