Is this ok? What do I accessorise with it? It fits and I like it but I want to look lovely (difficult at 55 with a Klingon forehead, squinty eyes and a turkey neck!) Wedding not for another year and in a field if that helps.

That's pretty. I like the shape too (I'm almost your age).

The shoes in the picture go really well, but I'm not sure you'd want them in a field unless there is planking everywhere.

Just Googled "shoes for field wedding" and got various suggestions, including an american site with these and these
Also, apparently you can get little plastic "heel protectors" which look a bit like the stem and base of a wine glass Grin

How about sunflower earrings and necklace? (or is that just too try-hard? - I'm getting back into this after years away) They seem to be everywhere at the moment, some nicer than others - I quite like this one.

I like those sandals. I will have to wear flats as I cannot walk well in heels, although i do have a year to practice.
Thank you for taking the time to respond, I just would like to look good in the photos. I will now frantically google sandals and start working on my feet :)

Lovely dress! I'd suggest quite pared back accessories with it because of the sequin detail. How about a gold cuff bracelet and some beautiful matching earrings?

Would you rather have a heel? Wedge sandals might work.

It’s lovely but it’s sold out…

I got it before it sold out DufferMum and have been looking at it since trying to decide if I like it! Thank you for the suggestions I will have a look at the jewellery as all of mine is silver.
Thank you for the responses :)
