How would you accessorise this dress?

I’m thinking matt black wrap and bag, but that seems a bit boring. Maybe a furry stole thing would be better?

Also, all my jewellery is silver, but maybe its sparkly enough without any?

Thanks :)

It's pretty sparkly. You look amazing.

Depends on the gig but a stole would look good. Do you have one already? Grey would look good.

I don't think it needs anything else. Definitely not a wrap. I would try to get a clutch to match (rather than contrast) and some understated jewellery (little simple pendant and bracelets). You look stunning!

MrsFionaCharming · 18/03/2018 14:19

Thank you both!

I only want a wrap or something to cover my upper arms for during photos at the beginning. They don’t look too bad here, but they’re massive!

I’ll take a look in Claire’s or somewhere for some cheap bracelets/ bangles :)

I’d do a full on Marilyn - she wore fur and diamonds. It’s not a dress for a wall flower so I’d go the whole hog.
What occasion is it for? It looks lovely on you.

A bolero jacket maybe, you can get those in fur.

Lotsofsausage · 18/03/2018 18:38

I'd fo for fur or even a feathery bolero :)

You look great, such a gorgeous dress! I wouldn't go for black, how about white/cream for the jacket and bag, or same colour as the dress but matte (not sparkly). Is the dress gold or more of a peachy rose pink type colour?

The only jewellery I would wear with that fab dress is earrings, and maybe a bracelet.

Not black for stole or wrap. Cream or pale grey would look better.

Chewbecca · 18/03/2018 18:55

Yes, just long earrings, Darcy Bussell style

MrsFionaCharming · 18/03/2018 20:23

The only fur thing I have is black but my mum might have something I can borrow.

It’s a slightly pinky gold, not a colour I’d ever go for usually but the sequinned swayed me.

It’s for a ball. We go every year, and I like to try and out-do my dress from the previous year. As DP is changing job this will be the last year we go, so I want to really dress up!

You look incredible!!! Cracking figure and beautiful dress.
I don't think it needs much in the way of jewellery...I'd go simple, rose gold tones perhaps. And something lighter than the dress in a wrap, as others have suggested. I think black would be too heavy and take away from the dress.

GammaDelta · 20/03/2018 11:00

Just long earrings n u rock

almondfinger · 20/03/2018 12:31

Wow! It's amazing on you. Fab figure. Lighter colour for the wrap, stole, bolero. White fur would be fab!

CountFosco · 20/03/2018 17:58

Another vote for a light fur wrap. You look incredible!

FlyMaybe · 20/03/2018 18:32

Wow, what a dress! Yes, yes, yes to a white fur stole.

Earrings and bracelet only - preferably a statement 'diamond' cuff.

Please post a pic of yourself in your finery when you go to the ball Smile
