Help me style this dress please

[Twork]

It's for a wedding.
I'm 5'3". Size 12/14.
It's possibly a bit too long but I quite like it that length?
I think I'll need a vest under it!
What shoes? I don't like shoe boot things or ankle boots. :)
Are black tights OK for a wedding?
I need everything by Thursday!

Day or night?
UK or abroad?

I think it's frumpy and too summery to wear with black tights

Day. UK. Medium posh hotel.

OK.

I'd wear it with sheer tights and silver or bronze heels. Do you already have heels?

It is a bit curtainy but I like it and I'm bored of looking for something now. 😁

Love the fabric! Definitely nude tights and maybe nude heels?

Nope, no suitable shoes if black tights are out.
Open to bronze but not strappy and no showing of toes. 😁

Kate Middleton type nude heels?
Any suggestions where from? All the ones I've seen look quite cheap.

How about LK Bennett? They are a bit pricy and Kate Middleton-ey, but I think they’d look nice. Or maybe a red or rust colour if you could match it to the flowers. Nude would be easier to find though!

The comfiest nude heels I own are from Primark I got them for £6 in the sale but they have them back in stock in my local one.

LK Bennett will do Kate Middleton nude courts. I agree with PPs no black tights.

Price range around £50 so LK Bennett are out (I had a pair of black pumps from there and once I'd broken them in, they were the comfiest shoes I've ever had).

I don't like black tights for a wedding, and agree with nude shoes 👍

Nude shoes it is then. 😙

If you can walk in heels, New Look have some great dark red shoes.

I love Joanie dresses!
I like the dress on you. I wouldn't put a vest under it as you have a lovely cleavage and you are covering up everything else, so I think a vest would take away from it. I would probably go for nude heels or dark red. Definitely nude/no tights. For same reason as no vest...it's a very 'heavy' dress in that it covers everything so you would risk tipping it in to frump category by adding more dark fabric.

Sheer tights and black ankle boots.

Sorry just saw you don't like them. Nude heels

Love the dress - definitely not frumpy! How about just putting in a few stitches to stop the top gaping, rather than a vest?

Oh definitely no top underneath! Just pin the two bits together or stick it to yourself with a bit of double sided tape.

M&S always used to do pretty good late Middleton nude courts, and only about £25

Black tights might work with a black lacy camisole and then you can wear your black shoes. Maybe with a black short jacket?
