Help - shoes with this dress...

[TheBeaconsAreLit]

So I'm wearing this dress to a wedding in Greece next month, and I'm completely stuck on what colour shoes to buy! I've asked around for opinions and so far have been told: nude to calm it down, gold to jazz it up, black to contrast, bright blue to contrast, and brown because I'll have a tan by the time of the wedding.
Please help?!

If it makes any difference, I'm thinking of buying some ribbon in the same colour as whatever shoes I get, to add a third strip between boobs to cover bra strap, and to go around the hem (it's not really hemmed at all and looks a bit cheap).

I'm looking for fairly high heels, definitely sandals because it'll be boiling.

If anyone has any ideas on which colour to look for, or even any particular shoes you've seen, that would be amazing!

Fab!! Love the shoes with the dress

[Refilona]

Ooh I like the bag but in "natural".

[Intransige]

Those are amazing shoes, OP!

What about a bag that tones with the dress, like this one?

[Facefactsnow]

Yes i did and i love it thank you! Size 10 fits well... i am going with clashing pink shoes!

[TheBeaconsAreLit]

Also Facefactsnow did you get the dress in the end?

[TheBeaconsAreLit]

For anyone still interested, I followed the metallic theme and found these today!
They're gold but not too yellowy, and glam the dress up just the right amount I think.
The only question now is if I'll be able to walk in them for more than an hour

Now to find a bag...

[SomeOtherFuckers]

Ooooh teal would look fab!

[Facefactsnow]

That helps... shall order a 10 and hope i look even a tenth as good as you!

[TheBeaconsAreLit]

TerfwithaNerf why thank you
Also it's interesting that you said
Or a really nice tan leather sandal with a wooden or cork heel that has a slight 70's vibe - I bought these last night as a back up pair...

dontpokethebear ooh I like those, I've got free asos delivery so I'm going to order them and see

Ocies I think a hook and eye would distort the shape too much, I've gone for some ribbon the same colour as the dress though so shouldn't stand out too much.

Facefactsnow it's great isn't it! I got an 8 and it fits like a glove.

Maybe purple or sky blue for contrast or gold if you want something more subdued. Lovely dress

[MumBod]

Bright blue.

[Facefactsnow]

I love that dress! What size did you buy? I worry about the sizing. If i can get one i will wear with bright pink clashing shoes

[Ocies]

Could you add a hook and eye to the dress to conceal the bra strap at the front?

[dontpokethebear]

These are nice (can't do proper link on my phone!)

I'd definitely go metallic. Pewter maybe?

If you ribbon hem the dress, you'll lose the lovely soft pleats and will make the bottom too heavy.

[SloeGinRocks]

Metallic or neutral nude / tan leather. Great dress

[user1494187262]

Tan

[Intransige]

I think tan / nude with that colour looks good.

Or you could go with a contrasting colour like turquoise?

[jeaux90]

I'm with you terf I think gold but if she takes the dress into town then she can see what works. I agree she looks amazing in the dress. Perfect for a wedding in Greece.

[TerfwithaNerf]

Farking hell OP you look amazing in that dress 😍.

I don't think contrasting coloured shoes would work. The colour of the dress is so unusual it's the focal point of the outfit imo.

I'd go for a muted warm metallic, preferably bronze-y. Or a really nice tan leather sandal with a wooden or cork heel that has a slight 70's vibe.

Definitely not black (too stark) or silver (too cool toned and the unflattering opposite of the dress).

[GingerLDN]

Gold strappy ones

[junglebookisthebest]

I would go with either silver or a bright blue.

[HolgerDanske]

I think a contrasting colour would be much nicer and more interesting. Purple, maybe. Or a teal, or the right shade of blue. Pink? Tan seems a bit, uh, pedestrian? But it's really hard to say without knowing the exact shade of yellow/orange, and also the colour of your bag.

[jeaux90]

Make sure you post back with an update on the shoes

And thank you Madonna9 and Refilona I'm pretty happy with it!
