Wear what with this dress to wedding?

[Kazzawazzawo0]

I've got this dress for a wedding in October. I know I need to lose a little weight, I'm on track for that.

But I'm unsure what to wear with it. I have no money, so may have to look on eBay for something. Can someone give me some suggestions?

All I have is a white wrap cardigan. I know I need dark blue shoes, I have a dark blue small bag, but I'm unsure about whether I need a jacket and what sort.

TIA.

The picture doesn't seem to have uploaded!

Link / pics / description of the dress?

If it has white in the pattern I think your wrap cardigan would probably be fine. Otherwise Amazon have pashminas in all sorts of colours which are reasonably priced. If it is coolish I doubt you'd be outside for long.

Sorry I forgot the picture of the dress!

It's a Phase Eight dress. The wrap is a very simple white cropped/tie cardigan from Joe Brown, nothing fancy.

The dress is navy and white.

I like it! I'd go for red or hot pink accessories rather than matching. Lime green or mustard are nice too but trickier for shoes.

The cardigan would be OK but a bit dull, sorry.

I'd go for a sharper look with a jacket, and in a clashing colour not matching: lime green, as suggested above, is good. Or deep pink.

I have a very similar dress from Phase Eight. I wore it with navy shoes and bag and a white cotton fitted jacket. I have worn that combo to a graduation, a wedding and a ladies lunch.

I'd say a red jacket actually. Maybe a swing jacket if you can find one? Your dress has got that vintage vibe...

I like the clashing suggestions. Would anyone fancy linking to some jackets on eBay in size 14?

I'm not keen on bright pink or lime green, but red or a bright green would be possible.

Ideally a jacket that would help create the illusion of more waist than I actually have?

Red and navy is a bit trolley-dolly, IMO. If you don't want to go clashing, maybe a more neutral colour, like a taupe/sand?

CakeForBreakfast, thank you! I think I need to lose another 7 lbs for it to fit nicely, but hopefully will get there by the end of October.

FauxFox I really like the pink one

Don't lose weight - your curves look just gorgeous! No fashion advice though :)

Thank you! I just wanted to lose the bit of a spare tyre ...

kazza if you have a spare tyre, that dress is nothing short of miraculous!! It looks great on you

Thank you

You're all making me very happy!

Gorgeous dress and you look fab! What diet are you on, I wanna join!

Thank you Diamondo

I eat generally low carb, it seems to work for me. I still weigh 11 stone 9.5 lbs though, at 5 foot 7. My face is a bit round still and I have a bit of a spare tyre that I really have to suck in, I'll be wearing my M&S magic knickers!

I'm struggling to find a jacket. I can't really stretch to that Quiz one, although I love it, so have been looking on eBay, but can't find anything I like.

I'm delighted - I just find the berry coloured cropped jacket on the Quiz website with £5 off and found a voucher for free delivery, so ordered it for £12.99

Many thanks again for the suggestions. Now to find navy shoes ..
