Shoes and bag to go with this dress?

[CakeNinja]

And is the dress even very nice?! It’s coming tomorrow so it might end up going back - I’m in 2 minds but not sure what colours to go with for the accessories if I keep it.

I'd go for a straw bag or a darker pink than the dress or possibly navy. If I went for a non navy bag I'd have navy shoes. My eyes are terrible I can't make out the other colours in the dress which is very pretty.

I'd probably go for nude shoes or strappy in a similar pink or silver. And then a bag of similar pink or even a lilac (I think the dress has lilac parts? Hard to see properly!)

The dress is really really pretty! I just wouldn't do any vibrant stand out colours with it. Anything light pink or neutral would work nicely :)

I see the red, green and purple now so you have great options, I’m wearing a similar pink to a wedding and bought a dusky pink bag which tones well.

I’m terrible at matching or coordinating anything colourwise. I’m not colour blind but I just don’t really know what compliments or not.
I like the idea of nude shoes but I’m not sure a nude bag would be nice - it’s for a wedding so I won’t be carrying my bag much, it’ll mainly be on the floor or on a table somewhere so I’m not too concerned about that but I will definitely need one.

I’d go nude bag and shoes or colours which match with the greens and purples of the design. Love the dress. What’s the occasion?

Well, don’t try to match shoes and bag. If you go for nude shoes then you can have a bag in any tone in the dress, again straw would look good too. I’m assuming the dress is in a floaty material?

Or a clutch bag in whatever colour you prefer

TheRL I still can’t quite make up my mind if I love it or think it’s a bit frumpy! I’m sure I’ll know which once I’ve tried it on. It’s for my mums wedding in a few weeks time.
Luxury yes it’s floaty. On the Asos website they have little videos of most of the clothes being worn so you can see it from all angles on a person and it’s quite swishy and generally very light and loose.

It’s not frumpy at all, but be careful not to ‘frump’ it with matching accessories if you see what I mean.

I think that’s what I’m worried about. That I’ll be too matchy matchy.
I’ll report back tomorrow and will know if it’s staying or being sent back.
Any other suggestions for something similar? I need some kind of sleeves as I don’t like my upper arms and preferably some form of leg covering as I have some horrible silvery stretch marks on my calfs I’d rather hide!! So attractive

Would you consider a jumpsuit? There’s some styles here suitable for a wedding www.phase-eight.com/sale/jumpsuits/

Im not saying any are necessarily what you’d like but just to give you the idea, I like the munroe grey one.

I’ve tried a few on before. I’m not against wearing one at all but I haven’t found one that fits me properly and has a good shape on me.
I’ve got long legs but quite a short torso so things are often the wrong proportion on me.
I’ll have a look, I tend to buy phase 8 stuff for work and did get a couple of bits in this recent sale... thanks.

That Munro one is gorgeous but only now available in a size 8 which sadly I am not!! More of a 14 girl

The dress is beautiful!

Shame about the munro, it is very elegant. I agree the dress is lovely though, you could possibly go longer skirt and top if it's not suitable I guess.

I dont think a straw bag or across the body bag would go at all. It needs something more delicate since its such a floaty dress. I think something metallic. Silver strappy shoes and a bag. I love the dress by the way and its not frumpy at all.

Something like this bag www.very.co.uk/accessorize-tabitha-embellished-clutch/1600368773.prd?sku=sku21647156&cm_mmc=google--PLA+-+Generic--Women+-+Bags+%26+Purses--PRODUCT_GROUP_p33748800453[AdID]&utm_campaign=Generic_Women+-+Bags+%26+Purses&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_term=PRODUCT_GROUP&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjwu-HoBRD5ARIsAPIPencJT2zlhClBCSrNx_HPj6ub3Dc0jzuyQIDdFdiv4e3PAOQWoiZXiL4aAlLMEALw_wcB

I think silver might be the way to go with this. I’d never have thought about silver, this is why I find MN so bloody helpful!

Is there silver or gold woven through the dress? If so I have a dress with similar colours and I've worn shoes and accessories in light gold. I've also worn it with deep coral shoes and clutch.

I think some of the embroidery is both silver and gold but will know for sure tomorrow.

Just wondered if the dress had arrived.

Yes, literally just tried it on.
It’s absolutely beautiful but too tight across my shoulders and chubby arms, I’m quite broad. Gutted, and back to the drawing board with less than 3 weeks to go

Have a look on next, they have some quite nice dresses, this? www.next.co.uk/g8243s3#924814

I’ve had a look at your links, thank you for taking the time to add them. The trouble is, they all look like the kind of things I would wear to work, not quite fancy enough for a wedding.

As it's your mother's wedding I think you need something more formal.

Yes I think so too. I’m so annoyed and frustrated I could bloody cry
