Help - shoes with this dress...

39 replies

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. Confused
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!

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

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

MumBod · 24/06/2017 08:26

Bright blue.

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

TerfwithaNerf why thank you Grin
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 Smile

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.

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

SomeOtherFuckers · 25/06/2017 04:21

Ooooh teal would look fab!

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 Grin

Now to find a bag...

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

Intransige · 01/07/2017 21:19

Those are amazing shoes, OP!

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

Refilona · 02/07/2017 23:45

Ooh I like the bag but in "natural".

jeaux90 · 03/07/2017 13:03

Fab!! Love the shoes with the dress
