The dress looks better in real life and not with black tights. I am v pale with dark hair. I tried a cardie but it was too shapeless . It needs something short and fitted or long and fitted I am guessing.

Oh dear do you all hate it?

I like it! I think the sandals are quite casual though so not sure it'll work with a jacket, and I'd definitely avoid a black cardi. Maybe take the dress in to the shops and try on a few cardigans and jackets in the blue of the dress?

If you could get a shortish dust coat to go over the dress that would look very good - in a black silk or in the blue or the cream (can't tell if its cream or white but whichever one it is).

or you could use a stole in one of those colors - I think there's some green in there too, that would be lovely with your dark hair and pale complexion (I assume!)

And I really like the sandals which won't cripple your feet after a day of standing.

Thanks! There is a nice pink in it a pink coat might lighten it for a wedding?

The sandals are as fancy as I get tbh, I have plantar fasciitis so can't really do glam

Pink would definitely work.

Thanks again. I would feel odd wearing cropped jackets. Maybe I need to rethink the dress. God I hate weddings

I like the dress but really don't like the sandals

I like the pale coral jacket in FauxFox's post or I've found a couple of longer jackets:

Pink duster coat

Pink kimono jacket

Or here's a pink cropped cardigan if that would be better for you.

Fingermoose I think that caddie would work! Thanks
