Shawl/pashmina for this dress?

[MissingEveryoneSoMuch]

Hi, I’m wearing this dress to a wedding. What type of pashmina would you wear with it please? Was thinking perhaps cream. Any also worried that I won’t be warm enough given the current weather situation!

Thank you.

Thank you, this jacket is very cute and I would definitely wear it again! You’re right in that I wouldn’t need something to wear the whole time, it’s for moving between events (church to reception) but the reception is in a marquee and I’m not sure if it will be cold?! It hadn’t occurred to me until today that it may be cold though as we’ve had good weather up until now!!

Agree with a PP the dress is "bridesmaidy" Maybe run it past the bride/chief bridesmaid to be on the safe side. If you do wear it, please don't pair it with a blazer....it will look awful. You need a wrap/shawl in a contrasting colour to lift the blue.

As an aside.....what time if day is the wedding? Floor length gowns are a no-no (etiquette wise) for a morning/early afternoon wedding abs you'd be much better in a very very formal cocktail dress (just below knee length, not too much cleavage on show) dressed up with diamonds and minimal other accessories.

I’ve checked re bridesmaid colours and this is completely different. I’ve also spoken to other ladies attending and one has got a very similar dress and most have also opted for full length. I hope I haven’t got it too wrong though, feels like a minefield.

I’m massively worried now. Trying to come up with alternatives :(

I love a pashmina ❤️
I have a couple from here ( the red one is practically glued to me most evenings from September onwards )
I’m suggesting the pale pink ?

The suede jacket is really not suitable for a black tie event. It really isn’t.

Your cardigans would work.

The cardigans are frumpy.
The jackets are a mismatch with the dress.
It's a lovely dress, don't hide it. Go with with pashmina or shawl. Regardless of the weather, with so many people in one room together it will be warm.

www.mypashmina.co.uk are great for pashminas. The colour selection is huge!

Pashmina/shawl. I'd say cream, or with my colouring lime or aqua. Can't say full length for weddings is something I've seen - to me blacjk tie equals cocktail dress, white tie full length. But hey, I'm mother of the bride age so what do I know?

I suggested the suede jacket to wear OUTSIDE, if the wedding wasn't too formal. Of course it's not okay for an indoors black tie event.

I still standby the opinion that a pashmina or shawl would look terrible.

OP don't let people put you off the dress. It's great and totally right for a black tie event.

I'd consider a white blazer. If the proportions are right it could work very well

Another slightly out there idea

And another

Imagine spending £99 on that ugly jacket to cover up a pretty dress.

Generally not that much of a fan of pashminas but I think with an evening dress they look fine and probably your best option. I’d have said silver grey aswell. Not cream.
Full length dresses are fine for black tie weddings, lots of people will wear them

I'd go for a hot pink, dusty pink, lime green or even a mauve pashmina. The jackets people are linking to aren't really black tie appropriate.

I'm linking to jackets that might help to keep the OP warm enough on her way to and from the wedding, assuming she'll take it off once she's inside the reception venue.

I absolutely love the dress
I would go for a silver pashmina - 100 percent

I would do a big square silk scarf, Spanish style as a warp/cover but mostly be without cover up.

Think you'll be fine etiquette-wise.

I love a pashmina or wrap. Try The White Company.

The whole point of the dress is the neckline. Put a jacket or cardigan over it and you lose all the shape of it. It’s just a boxy thing above another boxy thing.

You need a pashmina or shawl or short cape or feather snood or chainmail-style bolero cardigan - something that will allow you to show off the neckline of the dress.

It was a late afternoon/early evening wedding, so full length gowns were appropriate (but as an aside Greek etiquette may differ from British etiquette).

Personally I would not wear a floor length dress/gown to a daytime event. OP can choose to do as she wishes (apart from putting a blazer or biker jacket over the dress for a black tie wedding) but depending on the type of wedding/guests she may be judged for a wardrobe faux-pas. In a face to face situation I would inwardly raise an eyebrow but say nothing, others may not.

I'm going against the main and saying that a jacket or cardigan is totally unsuitable for this dress. You were right in the first place, a pashmina or similar. I'd look at dark dusky pink or maybe even a pale gold (I'd probably match the shoes too rather than wear navy)
