What to wear with this dress

[FriendshipBraclet]

I bought this dress yesterday www.anthropologie.com/en-gb/shop/breanna-polka-dot-wrap-dress?category=dresses-occasion-cocktail&color=015 for a wedding next month.
However want my arms to be warm so what should I put with it? Just stick to a wrap? Also not sure to go with bright accessories or keep simple with black.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The sleeves are so pretty though. I think I would go for a wrap. Pale pink would look nice, or black.

Lovely dress, I don’t really like wraps so would go for a short blazer jacket thing.

and take it off at the meal/reception.

I’m not sure this helps but I don’t really think that dress is appropriate for a wedding. I wouldn’t wear anything with a white/ cream base colour, especially with so little other colour on it. I’d have been annoyed if someone had worn this to my wedding.

Actually burnt orange would also look good. Wraps can be annoying, but it’s difficult to find a fluid jacket.

Anything but the accessories it’s paired with on the website!! 😂

I’d probably go for a colour as it’s quite simple and black can be a bit drab. A pale-ish blue would be nice?

Gah. Every thread about wedding attire someone has to try to say the outfit is inappropriate! 🤦‍♀️As long as you aren’t turning up in a full length ivory dress, you’re fine!

Bodear I did debate getting it for this reason however I think the polka dots stand out enough to make it less cream.
Hence why I thought bright accessories?

I also think it's too white for a wedding but leaving that aside, it's a lovely dress. I'd be inclined to stick with black accessories and keep the colour to nails and lipstick.

I have a white dress with black spot, and goldy/yellow buttercups design

I was going to buy a cardi of something in the gold/yellow to go with it rather than black..

It IS a lovely dress but referencing a pp, it is almost full length and it is largely cream/ Ivory. Even with bright accessories I wouldn’t go for it. You won’t be wearing your jacket/ wrap all day. Sorry op, even as a fellow guest at that wedding I would be a bit at you.
Can you wear it for another event?

yep it's too white/cream coloured

Another one here who thought it's not quite right for a wedding.

Burnt orange would look nice though as someone upthread had said. Or a bright teal.

I’m not seeing the inappropriate thing at all! It’s a polka dot dress, how is that anyway like a wedding dress??

I have yet to see a wedding dress with large black polka dots so I think you'll be fine on that front. It's gorgeous and the more I look at it the more I think a banana handbag would be grand.

I have a dress in a similar fabric and I've accessorized with red on one occasion and hot pink on another (fascinator and wrap but black or white sandals and handbag).

It’s a beautiful dress and perfectly fine for a wedding

Red accessories if you like brights. Or pale pink/blue
The replies about it not being wedding appropriate are hilarious. In what way is a sleeved, midi polka dot dress remotely like a traditional wedding dress?! I am assuming the bride is not wearing polka dots. I genuinely can't imagine being pissed off at something as petty as this on my wedding day.

Don’t do it op! You’ll look like a bride who’s spilt something all over her dress .

Ok, ok, ok; it’s not THAT bad. But, I do think enough people, if they’re like the guests at weddings I’ve been to, might pull faces, so that I know I’d feel uncomfortable in it at a wedding. That said, if you’re confident and breezy enough to style it out and shrug off any looks, then go for it.

I think I’d go with a short jacket, rather than a wrap over those sleeves. Maybe black or royal blue.

It actually doesn’t look a very nice fit on the model, though I can see how it would look a lot better on someone else, (and good god YES, different accessories! That bag is horrid imo - sorry to all banana bag lovers out there)!

I think that's lovely for a wedding. I certainly wouldn't be offended if I was the bride. I think red would be fantastic with it.

Would never have occurred to me that it was in the remotest bit bridal. MN is so odd about these things. I have never noticed or cared what another guest is wearing at a wedding.

I agree with PP who suggested burnt orange.

I've got a black jacket and black accessories but just tried it on with pink shoes and it looked fab. Love the idea of burnt orange so will look into that.
As far as it being inappropriate for a wedding, I've bought it and after trying thousands of dresses it's the one I'm wearing.

Ha ha! You sound lovely

she didn't ask if she should wear it, she asked what to pair with it. i'm useless on that front but i think it's a lovely dress!

Well, different circles and all that, but ime there will be a raised eyebrow or two if a guest comes to a wedding in a longish dress, where the main colour is ivory.

Do I think the eyebrow raisers are right to raise eyebrows? Not really no. It’s only a dress and who really cares? Do I care what other guests wear at a wedding? No, I do not, (I mean unless they have an offensive slogan / I can see their entire arse). But I think usually there will there be some guests at the wedding who will think it’s inappropriate and I would feel awkward. I made the mistake of wearing a lowish cut, short dress to a wedding in my early twenties and I do remember feeling really, really awkward. It was a lovely dress and looking back I looked pretty good in it, (if I do say so myself), but it wasn’t appropriate in the eyes of some the other guests. That’s the thing with weddings. You usually only know the B&G plus a few others, so my approach to buying wedding outfits has massively changed from ‘what looks nicest on me’ to ‘what looks nicest on me AND which isn’t going to draw negative attention’! It’s sad, but true! I wish I was more confident and could style it out, which is what I advise the op to do if she has that sort of personality. I just know I would feel a bit awkward and would enjoy the day a bit less if I felt judged for my choice of dress.

Yes OP sounds lovely and so does her outfit. Enjoy the wedding OP and ignore all the .

Bodear, you were the one saying they you would be annoyed if someone wore that to your wedding so I think the raised eyebrows and calling lovely should be directed to you. Fancy being annoyed on your own wedding day about someone’s dress. Especially one like this. Now that is ridiculous. Op ignore those saying its inappropriate, it’s not!
