What shoes with this dress?

Haven't worn heels for a long time so they'll need to be comfortable. Need them for Saturday and have access to New Look, Next, M&S and all the big supermarkets. Tia.

Missing the dress! Smile

Ah sorry, cross post. And now I've seen the dress, I have nothing helpful to offer because I've not worn anything glam in years.

Why not copy what she's wearing in the pic? They look lovely with the dress.

Gorgeous dress and shoes but too busy together- I'd go with plain gold or nude sandals.

I'm looking for nude/gold now but they all look so high.

New look will sort you out. I like these but they have a few that would work

They're nice violicorn but the mumsnet massive would hunt me down as they have a kitten heel ShockWink

these are still low without being a kitten I think?

Oh I love that dress, where's it from?
I'd go with something simple. Sandals in a metallic colour.

That model must be over 6 feet btw because I'm 5'8" and the sides of the dress trail the ground.

Ah good point! I don't much like the ones you linked, a bit too weddingy for me...

Like these though - and a relatively low but chunky heel is easier to walk in. Plus they're wide fit - my feet aren't wide at all but I find new look heeled sandals twice as comfy if they're the wide ones because your feet have space to swell a bit from walking about

That last pair are described as a 3.6 inch heel though, I really wouldn't call that low!

Paintbox · 27/08/2017 19:54

Sorry I meant the last pair the op linked to

You're right Paint, they don't look that high!

foodiefil · 27/08/2017 19:57

Don't like your first new look link but like your second and third.

I think you need nude or navy and quite high. Think swish not slosh. You'd slosh in a low heel. Go as high as you comfortably can.

What about a wedge?

Paintbox · 27/08/2017 20:00

I second the pp who said that a block heel is easier to walk in and more comfortable, even if it is high

Paintbox · 27/08/2017 20:01

Wedges imo always look a bit casual for a dress like that but that is just my opinion

I think a wedge would look clunky with the hemline. Did I mention I have clown feet Sad size 8. My friend's suggestion although lovely are too high.

I'm size 8 and have just bought these LOVE this from ASOS!
