It's for a spring wedding. I'm slim but 5'2 so it'll be below the knee on me. I've just turned 40. I haven't been to a wedding in over a decade so struggling to find a style. Honest opinions. It hasn't arrived yet so I can't post of picture of it on (which would have been helpful!).

Dress looks great but I would change the ankle strap shoes!

Yes definitely needs different accessories, as I said I just wore what I had at home, I haven't been to a wedding for a decade so my access are bound to be dated!!

What do people wear on their feet/heads to weddings these days?

I'd try to pick out the blue or yellow for shoes and bag, and either get a hat, or nothing. I think the fascinator type hat look is finished.

It's beautiful OP, you look great! I'd go with blue or yellow shoes too.

Bargain! I’d go either for lemon, pewter or silver shoes and accessories and a belt would probably work too.

Ah gutted, I loved a fascinator back in my 20's!

I think it is nicer on you than the model. Well-done for spotting what suits you.
I'd go for lemon shoes/sandals and a dark green bag.
Wear your hair up with that neckline, maybe a slide/clip but no fascinator.

You have a fabulous figure & it looks far better in you than the model.

If YOU like it, then wear it!

If I (still) had your figure I'd go in a bikini 😂

Rainbow321 I've got to have a heel, really can't pull off flats to a wedding.

OK so no fascinator, my hair too short to go up but I think a blow dry and a nice pair of earrings and then I'll splash out on the shoes and bag after saving so much on the dress.

Thank you for all the nice comments.

Looks great!

I think a padded/beaded head band would be lovely and the shoes I like as they are.

I also think the dress looks fantastic on you op!

However, I'm not sure the accessories and shoes are doing it or you justice. Are you set on those?

Ah X posted, sorry.

I've never worn a hat to a wedding tbh. If I did, I think I'd go with a hat rather than a fascinator, which I don't like very much.

I always wear flats.

God I'm no help! Why am I even answering Grin?

It looks amazing on you! How about dark green or yellow shoes and a pearl covered hairclip (fashionable type) on one side of your hair. 👌

I love it!! It looks good on you. Consider a gold toned shoes with it. Wish I could get it for a wedding I have coming up. Like you it has been years.
